30. Scouting Report. Offensive Tackle. Florida. Jawaan Taylor. 6. Pick Analysis. player

New York Jets (From New York Giants)

The Jets have a lot of things that they need to address, even after a very aggressive free agency period. After adding Le’Veon Bell and Kelechi Osmele to the offense along with slot receiver Jamison Crowder, the team may look to sure up the entirety of the offensive line with Jawaan Taylor. If the team wants to make sure to protect Sam Darnold for the next decade, Taylor makes a lot of sense.

Pick Analysis. 7. Alabama. Jonah Williams. player. Scouting Report. Offensive Tackle. 52

Jacksonville Jaguars

Honestly, I have no idea what the Jaguars may plan on doing at number seven overall. If I were the one trying to patch the weaknesses that the team has to make them relevant again, I would take Jonah Williams. What is great about Williams is how obviously talented he is. He could play inside or outside and play at a dominant level. This is certainly a reach for an interior guy, but I think he has what it takes to be an NFL tackle. The Jaguars could benefit from this pick, but they could draft a ton of different positions and make the team better.

8. player. 50. Scouting Report. Defensive Lineman. Houston. Ed Oliver. Pick Analysis

Detroit Lions

Although the Lions added Damon Harrison last year and Trey Flowers in the offseason, I think Matt Patricia and the Lions would have an incredibly difficult time passing on Ed Oliver. Oliver had questions about his size when he entered the pre-draft process, but as time has gone on, he looks every bit the part of an NFL superstar. He is one of the most athletically gifted players to enter the NFL in the last five years. Personally, I believe Oliver is a top five player in this draft. He could definitely already be off the board at nine overall.

DK Metcalf. 9. player. Wide Receiver. 16. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Ole Miss

Buffalo Bills

I see this one a lot and I think it makes a lot of sense. Even though the Bills signed Cole Beasley and John Brown this offseason, the goal for the Bills should be to give Josh Allen every tool to succeed. With an already speedy receiving group, adding Metcalf makes them even more dangerous. In Buffalo, their season will hinge on how well they can move the football. Metcalf makes them better immediately.

LSU. 45. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Linebacker. Devin White. 10

Denver Broncos

With the top two quarterbacks off the board at pick ten, the Broncos will probably try to keep their defense among the best in an attempt to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. With Brandon Marshall out of Denver, they will likely look for the new leader of the middle of the defense. White is the best linebacker in this draft class. If D.K. Metcalf is still on the board at ten, Denver may take him. With Metcalf off the board, White would be an immediate upgrade on defense.
