For several months, NFL media has been focused on first-round mock draft projections but those are just 32 of the 257 names that will be called over a three-day period in Detroit starting April 25. It is time to learn the names of Day 2 and late-round draft prospects as they could one day make an impact in the NFL playoffs, just as Brock Purdy, L'Jarius Sneed and others have before them.
Without further ado, let's kick this off!
For more draft coverage, you can hear in-depth analysis twice a week on "With the First Pick" -- our year-round NFL Draft podcast with NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson and former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman. You can find "With the First Pick" wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc.
From
Carolina Panthers
Round 1 - Pick 1
There is no drama expected at No. 1 overall. The only question is whether or not Chicago will use their full allotment of time to reveal the inevitable.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 2
Drake Maye is more highly rated for me personally but there is a palpable buzz linking Washington and LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Is it a smokescreen or where the wind is genuinely blowing right now? The next week will provide more clarity.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 3
New England is faced with a choice between LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and another Michigan quarterback. There have been rumors about the franchise's interest in Daniels dating to Bill Belichick's time.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 4
Who will be the first wide receiver off the board? There is a case for any one of the three most commonly mentioned in my opinion. Arizona has traditionally favored bigger-bodied wide receivers like Larry Fitzgerald and A.J. Green.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Los Angeles Chargers
Round 1 - Pick 5
Minnesota makes a move up the board to add their quarterback of the future. J.J. McCarthy is an accurate passer who will play on time just as Kevin O'Connell desires.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 6
New York gets a No. 1 wide receiver to pair with Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt. Malik Nabers could be the first wide receiver off the board, the second or the third. It really depends on which teams are there to pick those players and what they want out of the position.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Joe Alt to Tennessee has felt as much of a lock as Caleb Williams to Chicago. The Titans will have added offensive linemen in the first round in consecutive years, which will go a long way toward protecting Will Levis and his interests.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 8
If Atlanta stays put at No. 8 overall, then Dallas Turner feels like a slam-dunk choice. One situation to monitor: if the Cardinals or Chargers trade back, do not be surprised if either moves back up ahead of Chicago in the event one of those top receivers is still available.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 9
Rome Odunze is the third wide receiver off the board and another example of Chicago supporting its young quarterback. Few rookies have walked into a better situation than the one in Chicago where Williams will be throwing to D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Cole Kmet and now Odunze.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 10
New York will be faced with a decision to go all in to potentially win a championship now or plan for the future. Selecting an offensive tackle would be a nod to the future while the selection of Brock Bowers is a win-now move.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 - Pick 11
Jim Harbaugh is familiar with JC Latham going back to his high school recruitment. The Chargers need a right tackle and Latham will be able to solidify that role blocking for Justin Herbert.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 12
The Broncos would likely try to trade back if they found themselves in this position. Perhaps a team would be looking to come up for an offensive tackle. As it stands, they stand pat and draft Quinyon Mitchell to play opposite Patrick Surtain II. Good luck throwing against the Broncos.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 13
Las Vegas' offense is a tower of cards. The unit depends a lot on Davante Adams and the offensive line, outside of Kolton Miller, is not much to write home about. The Raiders look to start changing the narrative tabbing Taliese Fuaga as their new starting right tackle.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 14
The offensive tackle position has quickly become New Orleans' biggest need. Trevor Penning has not yet lived up to expectations and the structural stability of Ryan Ramczyk's knee has been called into question. Olu Fashanu is a plug-and-play starter.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Cooper DeJean over Terrion Arnold may surprise some but Indianapolis values athleticism and DeJean showed more of it at his pro day. Cornerback is a big need for the franchise as evidenced by their involvement in trade discussions for L'Jarius Sneed. They discuss it here in the first round.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 16
Troy Fautanu to Seattle is one of my favorite potential fits of the first round. He would reunite with his offensive coordinator and offensive line coach from Washington while serving as an immediate upgrade at offensive guard and also serving as insurance at offensive tackle in the event that both starting offensive tackles get injured again.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 17
Jacksonville can find a few cornerbacks to throw into the equation later in the draft but Brian Thomas Jr. gives the Jaguars that X potential that they will now be missing with the departure of Calvin Ridley.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 18
I like the idea of throwing Byron Murphy II into the fold with B.J. Hill and Sheldon Rankins. It gives the Super Bowl contender depth and a future at the position. Los Angeles would love to have Murphy one pick later.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 19
Defense makes a lot of sense for Los Angeles in Round 1. After missing out on Byron Murphy, they take Laiatu Latu, who is the draft's most pure pass rusher, to play opposite Byron Young.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 20
There has been a lot of buzz linking the Steelers to Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson. The franchise has made attempts to address the position in recent free agent classes but those have not worked out. The Steelers add an immediate starter with their first pick.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 21
Graham Barton has positional flexibility. The franchise signed Aaron Brewer in free agency so Barton can slot in at guard to replace Robert Hunt, who signed a lucrative free agent contract with Carolina.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 22
Philadelphia always values the offensive and defensive lines in the first round. The Eagles are often a franchise positioned to take value when it is presented to them and that is exactly what Jared Verse represents at this stage of the first round.
| |||||||
Mock Trade from
Minnesota Vikings
Round 1 - Pick 23
Los Angeles picked up an additional first-round pick by trading back with Minnesota. After taking JC Latham earlier in the round, the Chargers address another massive need with the selection of Terrion Arnold.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 24
Luck falls in favor of Dallas, which needed a left tackle to replace the absent Tyron Smith. Tyler Smith remains at guard with the selection of Mims, who played right tackle but has the athleticism to make the transition to the left side.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 25
Rasul Douglas was shipped to Buffalo at the trade deadline. Carrington Valentine was up and down. Jaire Alexander elected himself a captain one game. Green Bay may be facing more changes at the position and the addition of Nate Wiggins brings some stability.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 26
Shaq Barrett departed in free agency for Miami. Tampa Bay needs more juice off the edge and that is exactly what Chop Robinson brings at the end of the first round. There is still some development that must take place for him to reach his potential but there may not be a better athlete at the position.
| |||||||
From
Houston Texans
Round 1 - Pick 27
The Cardinals add a high-motor interior rusher as they reset the course of the franchise. Jonathan Gannon has an opportunity to give the entire unit a makeover with six selections in the top 100.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 28
Wide receiver became a massive need for the Bills when they traded away Stefon Diggs. Fans should not expect Adonai Mitchell to be a 1-to-1 replacement but he has potential to be an impact X receiver down the line.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 29
A year after taking Alabama defensive back Brian Branch in the second round, Detroit now takes his former teammate in the first round. Kool-Aid McKinstry was at one time viewed as a top-10 selection and that potential is still inside of him.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 30
After trading Morgan Moses to the Jets, Baltimore had a void at right tackle. The selection of Tyler Guyton is a reinvestment in the position. Ronnie Stanley has been unable to stay healthy on the left side so the Ravens really do need to achieve some stability in those roles.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 31
San Francisco has one former first-round selection on its offensive line (Trent Williams) and he could retire at any time. The 49ers reinvest in the position with the selection of Jordan Morgan, who will be given a look at guard or right tackle.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Kansas City's offensive tackle solutions did not exactly pan out this past season despite winning the Super Bowl. Orlando Brown Jr. was an attempt to identify the starting left tackle for a decade plus but he had his own financial goals that had to be achieved elsewhere. Kingsley Suamataia can hopefully be what Brown wasn't.
