RELATED: Risers, fallers | Programs producing NFL talent | Comparing 2020 five-stars to draft prospects
1. Arizona CardinalsÂ
QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma – There has been a lot of talk about Murray and whether he will go No. 1 overall. Despite recent reports that he won’t be the guy for new coach Kliff Kingsbury I’m still projecting him here. No clue what the Cards will do with Josh Rosen.
2. San Francisco 49ersÂ
DE Nick Bosa, Ohio State – If Bosa slips past the Cardinals there is no way the 49ers will pass on the player many think is the best in the draft.
3. New York JetsÂ
DE Josh Allen, Kentucky – One of the two elite defensive tackles will also be worth considering, but what Allen can do in space is too tempting.
4. Oakland RaidersÂ
DT Quinnen Williams, Alabama – Williams and Ed Oliver are the two elite defensive tackles at the top of the draft, and the Raiders are enamored with Williams, who has a little more length.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
LB Devin White, LSU – Defensive help is needed and White is the best linebacker in the draft and a special talent.
6. New York GiantsÂ
QB Daniel Jones, Duke – The first stunner of the draft? Many felt Dwayne Haskins would be the guy, but the Giants like Jones a lot and see more upside. They need to take a quarterback here. It’s a must.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars
OT Jawaan Taylor, Florida – The Jags will be tempted to take Oliver or a defensive player, but they need a tackle and Taylor - a local - is the guy.
8. Detroit LionsÂ
DE Montez Sweat, Mississippi State – Despite the heart condition, there’s no way Sweat slides beyond the Lions, who would love to see him off the edge.
9. Buffalo BillsÂ
OT Jonah Williams, Alabama – Some consider Williams a guard, but to me he’s an elite tackle even if it’s on the right side. The Bills need tackle help.
10. Denver BroncosÂ
QB Drew Lock, Missouri – Haskins' slide continues as the Broncos - who need a quarterback badly - choose Lock, who has excellent upside.
11. Cincinnati BengalsÂ
QB Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State – What? Is Andy Dalton on the outs? The Bengals wanted to go defense, but they never expected Haskins to be available. This could also be another team trading up for Haskins.
12. Green Bay PackersÂ
DT Ed Oliver, Houston – The Packers expected to land on Rashan Gary or Devin Bush here, but they can’t pass on Oliver, who was expected to be long gone.
13. Miami DolphinsÂ
LB Devin Bush, Michigan – If the Dolphins don’t trade up they’ll be happy to take the athletic Bush this late in the draft.
14. Atlanta FalconsÂ
DT Christian Wilkins, Clemson – The Falcons want help on the defensive or offensive line and can’t pass on Wilkins, who is very versatile.
15. Washington RedskinsÂ
DE Brian Burns, Florida State – Rashan Gary is a possibility here as well, but the Redskins want a speedy edge rusher and Burns' stock is rising.
16. Carolina PanthersÂ
OT Andre Dillard, Washington State – They need help up front protecting Cam Newton and Dillard has great feet and athleticism.
17. New York GiantsÂ
DT Rashan Gary, Michigan – The Giants were tempted to wait until this pick to land their quarterback, but didn’t want to miss on Jones. Now they can take a chance on Gary, whose upside is as high as anyone in the draft.
18. Minnesota VikingsÂ
OC Garrett Bradbury, NC State – Move Pat Elfein to guard and bring in the best center in the draft to shore up the middle of the offensive line.
19. Tennessee Titans
OG Chris Lindstrom, Boston College – Some have him as a second-rounder, but the Titans need offensive line help and he’s a nasty, interior lineman who will also help the run game.
20. Pittsburgh Steelers
CB Greedy Williams, LSU – There is no way the Steelers thought Williams would slide this far, so they will jump on him.
21. Seattle Seahawks
DE Clelin Ferrell, Clemson – The Seahawks have many needs, and an edge rusher is one of them and this draft is loaded with talent. In any other year Ferrell goes top 10.
22. Baltimore RavensÂ
WR Marquise Brown, Oklahoma – The Ravens need weapons for Lamar Jackson and Brown will stretch the field and be very effective in the current offense.
23. Houston TexansÂ
OT Cody Ford, Oklahoma – The offensive line is a huge position of need and Ford can play tackle or guard.
24. Oakland RaidersÂ
TE T.J. Hockenson, Iowa – The Raiders have three picks, so they can address the tight end need here and pick between teammates Hockenson and Noah Fant.
25. Philadelphia EaglesÂ
RB Josh Jacobs, Alabama – It’s not a great running back draft, but Jacobs could be special and is a value add this late.
26. Indianapolis ColtsÂ
DT Dexter Lawrence, Clemson – Indy needs interior help on defense and Lawrence is a steal this late.
27. Oakland RaidersÂ
CB Deandre Baker, Georgia – The Raiders need corner help and Baker sliding this far is a surprise.
28. Los Angeles ChargersÂ
CB Byron Murphy, Washington – Some think he’s the best pure corner in the draft and the Chargers need help on the outside.
29. Seattle Seahawks
WR AJ Brown, Ole Miss – Seahawks need help everywhere, and a dominant slot receiver like Brown is a big pickup.
30. Green Bay Packers
OT Dalton Risner, Kansas State – Green Bay needs an offensive lineman and Risner can work outside or inside - and he is nasty.
31. Los Angeles RamsÂ
DT Jeffery Simmons, Mississippi State – The Rams add a huge tackle who is athletic enough to play end in situations to protect Aaron Donald from more and more double teams.
32. New England PatriotsÂ
CB Rock Ya-Sin, Temple – The Pats like taking locals and Ya-Sin was dominant in his one season at Temple. Philly is local enough for the Patriots.
