I hope you left your scouting reports and a cup of milk for the NFL Draft Gods, today is the day. 32 players will finally achieve one of their lifelong goal. Getting their name called by the NFL commissioner Roger Goddell. We have some amazing players available to be drafted today, so let’s go through the first 10 picks with my predictions on who might go where.

With the first pick of the NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select, Cam Ward, QB from the University of Miami.

Cam Ward’s arm strength is exceptional. Able to throw for long and deep passes with extreme ease. He also does very well in single coverage, tight windows and over the middle. He always tries to look for the highlight reel kind of play, often overlooking receivers closer to him. Despite him making mistakes during a game, he almost always keep a level head. Extreme upside to Ward if he can focus on making the play, rather than looking for the longest receiver.

With the second pick in the NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select, Travis Hunter, CB/WR from Colorado.

Some NFL scouts said that Travis Hunter is ‘NFL ready’ but just needs to add more weight to him. Well now that he is starting to do just that, it will pair amazing with his speed, and his ability to break up passes. Don’t forget, Travis is a two-way player. Which means he can play from both sides of the field. It’s way too early to say that he will be a 2-way player in the NFL, but the Browns seem open to the idea. Don’t be surprised to see him open the season next to Jerry Jeudy and then moving to the other side of the ball in the near future.

With the third pick in the NFL Draft, the New York Giants select Abdul Carter, DE from Penn State

Abdul has an explosive and violent rip move that is complimented by his very strong speed to power. All though his pass rush is a work in progress, i am very confident that it will pan out in the NFL. His play-style reminds me a lot of Micah Parsons. It’s probably also the fact they both wear #11 and came from Penn State, but regardless Abdul is the top DE in this draft in my opinion, and he could be a perfect fit in a rebuilding Giants team.

With the fourth pick in the NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select, Will Campbell, OT from LSU

Drake Maye desperately needs help, behind a lackluster OL, he can not perform to the best of his abilities. The answer, is Will Campbell. His footwork, balance and posture on the ball is something to get very excited about if you are a NFL scouts. His football IQ is so high that he will be able to slot into all 5 OL positions starting from Day 1. Pass block is extremely strong for Will, while his run block is starting to slowly improve.

With the fifth pick in the NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select, Ashton Jeanty, RB from Boise State

Originally i had the Jaguars taking DT Mason Graham, but thinking about it more. This whole offseason has been about getting Trevor Lawrence some help. Which is why i believe the Jaguars will select a running back for Lawrence. Jeanty’s insane balance, and his ability to extend the play after he’s already broken tackles, will help him out a ton. His huge-play explosiveness is like s sixth sense for him. Jeanty may not translate automatically to a top 5 RB. But behind a good OL, Jeanty will be one to watch this season.

With the sixth pick in the NFL draft, the Las Vegas Raiders select, Tetairoa McMillian, WR from the University of Arizona.

Mcmillian’s coordination and his strength is an amazing pairing and will be a huge key to his success in the NFL. He has an amazing route-running IQ. He was also the main-focal point of the Arizona offense in college. His ability to make amazing contested catches, will be the perfect pairing for the Raiders and Mcmillian.

With the seventh pick in the NFl Draft, the New York Jets select, Armand Membov, RT from Missouri

With new QB, Justin Fields arriving. It’s only right to get him some extra help on the line. Armand’s excellent natural flexibility and foot coordination is huge at his 315 weight. He has an explosive first step which has translated to some amazing highlight reel blocks. He could use more consistency in his power but he can easily fix that with the Jets.

With the eighth pick in the NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select, Mason Graham, DT from Michigan

It’s obvious that the Panthers can use some help on defense. His fast hands and explosive first step is a huge plus to anyone who may draft him. His competitive tightness is a cherry on the top, he does have some problems with his lack of arm length but i personally think, he will do well in the NFL. Only time will tell.

With the ninth pick in the NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select, Walter Nolan, DL, from Ole Miss

At 6’3”, 295 pounds, Nolen’s got serious natural power. His upper body is crazy strong, which helps him toss blockers aside or power through double teams. That strength makes him a real problem in the run game.

That said, if he doesn’t win right away with his first step or that speed-to-power bull rush, he can kind of stall out. He leans on his strength a bit too much when he gets blocked, and while his hand technique got better in 2024, it still needs more polish. Sharper hand usage would also keep him from exposing his chest to linemen so much. He definitely improved from 2023 to 2024, but there’s still room to grow.

With the tenth pick in the NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Tyler Warren, TE from Penn State

Warren’s 6’6”, 260-pound build is exactly what you want in an NFL tight end. His size is well-balanced, strong up top and down low, which helps him hold his own as both a run blocker and pass protector. He graded out pretty solid in run blocking too, landing around the 51st percentile in positively graded plays.

His THREAT percentage made a big jump from 16.1% in 2023 to 30.2% in 2024, which shows how much more involved he became. He’s got powerful hands and doesn’t back down from contact. He plays with a physical edge but also has some sneaky straight-line speed that shows up when he’s running vertical routes or picking up yards after the catch. It takes him a few steps to really get going, though.

Because he’s such a big dude, he’s not the most fluid when it comes to quick cuts or sharp change-of-direction routes, his route tree is a bit limited. Still, he’s got a nice shoulder dip off the line that helps him get clean releases, and he’s versatile enough to line up almost anywhere: inline, in the slot, out wide, or even as a wingback or fullback.
