Zay Flowers, Boston College He can maneuver the pocket and throw on the run. Alex Austin, Oregon State 2. 15 and 170. Sean Tucker, Syracuse 9 to the Bears, who have a huge need for a right tackle. Jadon Haselwood, Arkansas Joe Tippmann, C, Wisconsin As for the rest of this class? 9. I was surprised he was still available in Round 3. Robert Soderholm III, VMI Ryan Greenhagen, Fordham, London Harris, Texas State Offensive tackle Blake Freeland (106) has excellent traits in a 6-foot-8 frame, while defensive lineman Adetomiwa Adebawore (110) is a top-50 prospect on my board. Andrew Farmer, Lane 2. The Packers sent back No. Does he have flaws? 26. Expect McDonald to be a menace in passing situations as a rookie as he bulks up to improve as a three-down player. Garrett Nelson, Nebraska 3. Top needs entering the draft: DE, DT, CB, WR, QB. XFL semifinals: Defenders roll Sea Dragons, set up title showdown with Renegades. He has smooth mechanics and good (not great) arm strength, and he can throw with touch to all levels of the field. Michael Jefferson, Louisiana 21. 38. Ventrell Miller, Florida Hunter Luepke, FB, North Dakota State 35. ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CHI | CIN Adam Korsak, Rutgers Trea Shropshire, UAB 8 to Atlanta. Jose Ramirez, Eastern Michigan Michael Ezeike, UCLA Anthony Richardson, Florida Sevyn Banks, LSU 114. As for whom the Cardinals drafted on Friday and Saturday? Luke Haggard, Indiana Tucker Kraft and Brenton Strange were available and higher on my board. Jake Witt (236) is an intriguing dart throw in Round 7; he is my 17th-ranked offensive tackle. 92. 10. 23. 108. Daiyan Henley, Washington State 7. In 2020, Kiper had them fourth-best overall. Byron Young, Tennessee 137. John Michael Schmitz (57) is my top-ranked center, and he fills a huge hole. Did Steph Curry cook up the best Game 7 performance ever? 32. We had connected New York with the offensive tackles in the class, but four already were off the board by the time it got on the clock at No. 7. 10, they could have made the move up one spot to get Jalen Carter, like the Eagles did, and fill their biggest hole. Edge rusher BJ Ojulari (41) was a pressure factory on passing downs last season, while cornerback Garrett Williams (72) is recovering from a torn ACL but might be a steal once he returns. 131. 69. If you look at the other NFC East teams, Dallas needed to beef up to stop the run. PJ Mustipher, Penn State Top needs entering the draft: RB, CB, S, TE, G. I was a little surprised by the Bengals' choice to take edge rusher Myles Murphy (28) in Round 1, if only because there were solid tight ends, safeties and cornerbacks available. I would have gone with Ji'Ayir Brown or Riley Moss over Sydney Brown (66) if I were taking a safety, but I don't have a huge issue with the Eagles preferring Brown. 22. Ronnie Hickman Jr., Ohio State Can Young's frame hold up at the next level? 29. His arm length is shorter than average for tackles (32 1/4 inches), and that could scare away some teams. 102. Tyler Murray, Memphis, 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/28/sports/football/nfl-draft-vegas-mel-kiper-kirk-herbstreit.html. Pittsburgh had just three picks in the last four rounds, with Nick Herbig (132) the most notable. Running back Devon Achane (84) could be one of the steals of the draft. 7. Jake Haener, Fresno State This is a small class, but Addison fills a massive need. Tucker Kraft, South Dakota State Baalke took a few fliers late, which I always recommend. At 6-foot-2, he ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the combine. 20. Plus, maybe I owe general manager John Schneider an A after not giving him one last year. 28. The Packers had three picks on Day 2 to try to improve things around Love, and that's exactly what they did, which redeems the slight reach of Lukas Van Ness (13) on Thursday. Atonio Mafi, UCLA Rakim Jarrett, WR, Maryland Jadakis Bonds, Hampton 49. Rashee Rice, WR, SMU 10. 10. This definitely fills holes, and Belichick had a few extra picks with which to work. Josh Allen now has Kincaid and Dawson Knox as his top two tight ends, and he has to be thrilled. Jesse Matthews, San Diego State Jacob Gall, Baylor Jimmy Phillips Jr., SMU Christian Izien, Rutgers Krishon Merriweather, Texas Tech. Check out this show of force in the SEC title game against LSU. Derius Davis, TCU 134. 11. Can street race king Perez challenge Verstappen for the title? Javon Williams Jr., Southern Illinois 7 inside linebacker.

He ranked first in the country in yards per dropback (8.9), second in QBR (88.9) and third in yards per attempt (9.5). Shaquan Davis, South Carolina State Khalan Laborn, Marshall Jammie Robinson, Florida State 8. Mel Kiper Jr. gives Raiders grade of 'B-' for 2023 draft class But the Falcons could get 90% of his production from Allgeier and a couple of Day 3 options. He had 33 sacks over the past four seasons. 6, though, I thought the Lions needed to grab an impact defensive lineman. Cornerback Cam Smith (51) excelled in zone coverage in college, and he locked down SEC wideouts. 5. SEA | TB | TEN | WSH, Top needs entering the draft: DE, DT, S, RB, G. General manager Howie Roseman has had an outstanding run in Philly, and he crushed Round 1. Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia Durrell Johnson, Liberty 18. Plus, if you're comparing arm length, he has almost four inches on Skoronski. On the field, he is a fantastic prospect. I think NFL teams could use him even more in the passing game. 13. The event is must-see TV for league fanatics. Jayson Ademilola, Notre Dame 15. But he has a high ceiling, and I think he could thrive with pro talent around him. 45. K.J. The Falcons got a fantastic rookie season from fifth-rounder Tyler Allgeier, and yet they took Bijan Robinson at No. 27. 6. The NFL draft's first round starts April 28, with Rounds 2-3 the following day and the final four rounds wrapping up the event on April 30. And if you look at this team's biggest weakness from last season, it was stopping the run; Philly ranked 24th in yards allowed per carry (4.6). Even Gibbs was shocked at being taken so early. They traded a fourth-round pick to move up three spots in Round 1 to grab Broderick Jones (14), who will start at one of the tackle spots. Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina 2. Charlie Jones, Purdue 44. Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee That's extremely high for a player I don't think has starter-level tools. Miami entered this draft with just four picks, the fewest in the league, and it had already filled its biggest roster hole via the March trade for cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Tight end Cameron Latu (101) has upside, and he'll get to learn the ropes from George Kittle. 5. Chris Smith, Louisiana, Wayne Taulapapa, RB, Washington 98. Xazavian Valladay, Arizona State B.J. Johnny Buchanan, Delaware 10. He is my No. Absolutely. 19. The strange thing is I said something similar after last year's draft, when former Titans general manager Jon Robinson landed Malik Willis in Round 3. Jordan Lee, Washington State The questions about Young are purely related to his size; he measured 5-foot-10 and weighed in at 204 pounds at the combine. Jacob Slade, Michigan State, J-Min Pelley, Calgary (Canada) They could have gone with cornerback Christian Gonzalez or defensive tackle Jalen Carter or edge rusher Nolan Smith and gotten better value. That's because general manager Brad Holmes has done an outstanding job of filling holes and putting together a roster that is the NFC North favorite in 2023. 128. Washington dropped because of some medical concerns, but he'll step into the NFL as one of the league's best blocking tight ends; and if he can up his game as a pass-catcher, he could be a steal. He had 12 quarterback pressures in his final three games for the back-to-back national champs. And this year, the projection for former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis was way off, with no one being more wrong about the mayonnaise-instead-of-cream-and-sugar-in-his-coffee lover . The Rams blew up their roster this offseason -- Jalen Ramsey, Bobby Wagner, Taylor Rapp, Leonard Floyd and Troy Hill are among the defenders no longer on the team -- and clearly are entering a rebuild. 1. 7. I will be watching like everybody else.. Kaevon Merriweather, Iowa Kobie Turner, Wake Forest After a season at guard, Johnson kicked outside to left tackle for the Buckeyes in 2022. Brenton Strange, Penn State Puka Nacua, BYU The lingering question about this Jets class is: Are they sure they're OK at offensive tackle? In order to minimize altered plans, last year's draft was held in Cleveland, with Vegas being awarded the event in 2022. 19. That's right: There are 31 first-round picks, but there never are 31 prospects who have first-round grades on teams' boards. Gervon Dexter, Florida Now he just needs to find a team that values him, because he's a three-down back. Michael Mayer (35), the most complete tight end in this draft, was a nice selection at the top of Day 2, but a few other of Ziegler's picks were reaches on my board. Top needs entering the draft: DT, WR, TE, DE, G. This was an interesting draft for the Saints, who originally traded away their first-rounder last April then added one as a result of former coach Sean Payton getting hired by the Broncos. Jordan Addison will fit well as the No. I've said before that if he were four inches taller, he'd have a similar grade as some of the best I've ever scouted. With Carter and Smith filling clear needs -- and the trade for running back D'Andre Swift filling another -- I really like this class. Keilahn Harris, Oklahoma Baptist Andre Carter II, OLB, Army Dorian Williams, Tulane He has stellar burst and explosiveness out of breaks. Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa There's not much flash in this class, which is not usually how team owner Jerry Jones does things, but I can't knock many of these selections. He ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash and put up a 42-inch vertical leap at the combine. 51 overall.
