Hunter is the best player in college football with immense two-way abilities. The Jaguars could use an elite talent at cornerback, and Hunter’s dynamic receiving skills would help a sputtering offense, too.
McMillan is having a Drake London-type season for Arizona in a similar frame with similar traits. And the Titans desperately need receiving weapons for Will Levis.
Can’t shake this pairing for now. Milroe has massive upside but probably isn’t ready to start until 2026, which is when the Browns can more reasonably move on from Deshaun Watson.
The Giants will be drafting a quarterback in 2025, and Ward, while not someone with premier traits, has looked like a quarterback with high-level starting skills in the right NFL situation.
Sanders in Las Vegas — potentially with his dad at head coach — is sensible. I like the idea the more I think about it. With a high-caliber tight end in place and plenty of cap space, the Raiders can surprise with quality quarterback play in 2025.
Carter is having a tremendous season at Penn State and has Micah Parsons-like physical traits. The Panthers have to add a premier edge-rushing talent to the roster.
The Commanders roll the dice with the injured star cornerback from outside the Power 4. When healthy, Revel looks like a first-round talent with ball skills and plus athleticism.
The Texans probably feel fine with their tackle situation, but this Milum selection is about simply playing the five best blockers in front of C.J. Stroud.
Graham is too talented and too productive for the Ravens to pass on here. He and Justin Madubuike would formulate a tremendous interior tandem in Baltimore.

Jim Harbaugh calls this pick in immediately when he sees the best tight end in the class, whom he recruited and coached at Michigan, still available.
The Packers need more girth inside, and Sanders is a wide-bodied, three-down defender who’s flashed upfield as a pass rusher on South Carolina’s stellar defensive front this season.
Grant is an upfield rusher who’s played like an early-round pick across multiple seasons at Michigan. He and Keeanu Benton would be a fun complementary tandem inside.
Umanmielen has pieced together yet another magnificent season rushing the quarterback in the SEC. He’d be a steal here for the Bills this late in Round 1.
Nolen would give Chris Jones a legitimate running mate getting upfield as a rusher. The Ole Miss star has demolished offensive lines with regularity this season.
The Lions add another boundary weapon to the offense in Royals, who’s dangerous over the top of the defense and when needing to make a defender miss in space.
