1.

Tennessee Titans:

QB Cam Ward (Miami FL)

Last = 1

Top 100 picks (2): 1, 35

Top needs: QB, DE

The pick: The Titans make a much-needed upgrade at QB over Will Levis, who is nothing more than a backup.

2.

Cleveland Browns:

CB/WR Travis Hunter (Colorado)

Last = 2

Top 100 picks (4): 2, 33, 67, 94

Top needs: QB, WR, CB, RB

The pick: The Browns hope Hunter can help with their needs at both WR and CB. He also happens to be the top prospect overall.

New York Giants:

DE Abdul Carter (Penn State)

Last = 3

Top 100 picks (4): 3, 34, 65, 99

Top needs: QB, DE, RB, OG

The pick: The Giants don't actually need a DE, but Carter is considered one of the two elite players in the draft.

4.

New England Patriots:

OT Will Campbell (Louisiana State)

Last = 4

Top 100 picks (4): 4, 38, 69, 77

Top needs: OT, WR, DT, OG

The pick: The Patriots have too much of a need at OT to consider anyone other than the top OT (despite his short arms).

5.

Jacksonville Jaguars:

RB Ashton Jeanty (Boise State)

(+)

Last = 6

Top 100 picks (4): 5, 36, 70, 88

Top needs: WR, DT, S, OG

The pick: The Jags need to make up for Trevor Lawrence's inability to get the ball in the end zone.

Las Vegas Raiders:

OT Armand Membou (Missouri)

(+)

Last = 7

Top 100 picks (3): 6, 37, 68

Top needs: WR, CB, RB

The pick: The Raiders could secure the future of the o-line with the big RT.

New York Jets:

TE Tyler Warren (Penn State)

(+)

Last = 14

Top 100 picks (3): 7, 42, 73

Top needs: QB, OT, TE

The pick: Warren is a rare TE prospect who can help the Jets establish a new identity.

8.

Carolina Panthers:

OLB Jalon Walker (Georgia)

Last = 8

Top 100 picks (3): 8, 57, 74

Top needs: DE, DT, S

The pick: The Panthers are sitting there hoping no one notices Walker, who is not far behind Abdul Carter in the edge rankings.

9.

New Orleans Saints:

DT Mason Graham (Michigan)

(-)

Last = 6

Top 100 picks (4): 9, 40, 71, 93

Top needs: QB, WR, CB, DT

The pick: The Saints are hot for Jaxson Dart with pick 40. But first they need to work on their d-line with Graham or Mykel Williams.

10.

Chicago Bears:

DE Shemar Stewart (Texas A&M)

(+)

Last = 16

Top 100 picks (4): 10, 39, 41, 72

DE Mykel Williams (Georgia)

(-)

Last = 10

Top 100 picks (4): 11, 43, 75, 100

The pick: The 49ers have strong needs on the d-line and would likely prefer Williams as a safe edge pick.

12.

Dallas Cowboys:

WR Tetairoa McMillan (Arizona)

Last = 12

Top 100 picks (3): 12, 44, 76

Top needs: WR, RB, OG

The pick: If you think McMillan and Matthew Golden are both WR1s, then you can look at the difference in 40 times and side with Golden. But if Golden is a WR2, then T-Mac is the clear-cut top WR.

13.

Miami Dolphins:

OT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas)

Last = 13

Top 100 picks (3): 13, 48, 98

Top needs: OT, DT, S

(+)

Last = 22

Top 100 picks (3): 14, 45, 80

Top needs: LB, TE, OG

(+)

CB Jahdae Barron (Texas)

Last = 26

WR Matthew Golden (Texas)

(-)

Last = 18
