Matthew Freedman

Mendoza is a fine option as the No. 1 pick in this class. He's really the only option, given that the Raiders need a QB.

The Jets would love a QB, but there's no reasonable candidate at No. 2, so they take the best player available.

The Cardinals need OL help, but this feels too early for any of the OTs, who all have significant questions. So, best player available it is at a position of need/value, and that's Bailey.

With a three-down skill set, workhorse frame (6-0, 212 pounds), and home run speed (4.36, 40-yard dash), Love could be one of the NFL's top backs as a rookie.

Styles could dominate in a defense with EDGEs Brian Burns and Abdul Carter.

The Browns need someone to push veteran Jerry Jeudy for the No. 1 WR role, and Tate could do that as a rookie.

The Commanders need a DL upgrade.

He will pair well alongside No. 1 WR Chris Olave.

The Chiefs will improve their OL, which feels like a priority given that QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is returning from injury.

Downs is elite, but he could realistically fall out of the top 10. Here, I have him going No. 10 to the Bengals, who could use Downs either at SS or slot CB.

Mansoor Delane was a unanimous first-team All-Pro last year, and the Dolphins need to upgrade their secondary for defensive HC Jeff Hafley in his first season with the team.

The Cowboys could use another CB after releasing former first-team All-Pro Trevon Diggs in December.

With Tyson, offensive HC Sean McVay gets another weapon for MVP QB Matthew Stafford.

The Ravens need OL help to protect QB Lamar Jackson, and Olaivavega Ioane might be the best overall OL in this class, so it's a good fit.

The Buccaneers re-signed Cade Otton, but he's best as a No. 2 TE, and the team could use another playmaker to make up for the loss of departed No. 1 WR Mike Evans.

Although Cooper never had a big breakout at Indiana (69-937-13 receiving, 3-74-1 rushing in 16 games last year), he was the co-No. 1 WR in his final season for the championship-winning Hoosiers, and his inside/outside versatility will allow him to pair well with No. 1 WR Garrett Wilson.

If the Lions want to try Fano at OT, they'll have the opportunity: Following the release of longtime LT Taylor Decker, they could move RT Penei Sewell to the blindside and then put Fano in Sewell's vacated spot. Either way, Fano will have a spot on the Week 1 OL.

He can play FS, SS, and slot CB, and that versatility will make him an attractive matchup chess piece for DC Brian Flores.

CJ Allen is a 21-year-old consensus first-team All-American who started 2.5 years in the SEC. He makes sense for a team that is yet to re-sign 36-year-old LB Lavonte David.

With Faulk, the Cowboys take a big swing at trying to replace the production they lost when they traded away EDGE Micah Parsons last year.

With his skill set, Concepcion is a natural fit alongside WRs DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman.

At some point, a team will bet on his traits. This feels like the right range in Round 1, and the Chargers have needed help on their interior DL for years.

The Eagles like to invest in the trenches, and Monroe Freeling could probably play either OT spot in the NFL.

In Kadyn Proctor, the Browns find a potential franchise LT.

The Bears need more muscle in their interior DL.

Boston feels like a natural replacement for WR Keon Coleman, who has underperformed expectations through two seasons.

Lomu has good size (6-foot-6, 313 pounds) and athleticism (4.99, 40-yard dash) and two years of starting experience at LT.

The Texans could use one more body on the OL.

After trading away No. 1 CB Trent McDuffie to get this pick, the Chiefs use it to draft his successor.

Akheem Mesidor turns 25 years old in April, so he might already be an almost finished product, but he still might be the best EDGE on the Dolphins if they get him at No. 30.

The Patriots lost EDGE K'Lavon Chaisson in free agency, and T.J. Parker was a three-year starter who put up 21.5 sacks and 41.5 tackles for loss for his career.

Hood has the height (6-foot) and speed (4.44, 40-yard dash) to stick with most NFL WRs, and the Seahawks lost CB Tariq Woolen this offseason.
