1. Bears
(via trade with Carolina) Caleb Williams, QB, 6-foot-1, 214 pounds, USC.
Scouting report: Mahomes-esque traits with the instincts, mobility and arm talent to breakdown a defense even when it does everything right. The only questions about the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner are playing within structure because the structure so often broke down at USC.
2. Commanders
Jayden Daniels, QB, 6-3, 210, LSU
Scouting report: Accurate deep passer and explosive runner with a slender frame. The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner scrambles to run, not necessarily to create opportunities to pass.
3. Patriots
Drake Maye, QB, 6-4, 223, North Carolina
Scouting report: Size, arm strength and athleticism are ideal. Can make a variety of throws with accuracy, but can be erratic and reckless at times, trying too hard to be a playmaker.
4. Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, 6-3, 209, Ohio State
Scouting report: Precise route-runner with superb body control. Strong and explosive. Not elusive after the catch and blocking could use more consistent effort, but one of the most polished receiver prospects to enter the NFL in years.
5. Chargers
Joe Alt, OT, 6-8, 321, Notre Dame
Scouting report: Technically sound, huge and strong. Not an exceptional athlete, but the three-year starter’s worst-case scenario seems to be solid NFL starter.
6. Giants
Malik Nabers, WR, 6-2, 199, LSU
Scouting report: Smooth deep threat with breakaway acceleration was LSU’s career leader in receiving yards and receptions. Will be challenged to play with more power at the next level.
7. Titans
JC Latham, OT, 6-5, 342, Alabama
Scouting report: Massive and dominant run blocking right tackle who at times struggled to recognize blitzes and recover.
8. Falcons
Michael Penix Jr., QB, 6-2, 216, Washington
Scouting report: Prolific left-handed passer with accuracy and arm strength to attack the whole field. His injury history (knee and shoulders), age (24) and questions about his ability deliver consistently when pressured made him a polarizing prospect.
9. Bears
Rome Odunze, WR, 6-2, 212, Washington
Scouting report: Exceptional ball skills and reliable hands. Not quite as explosive as Harrison and Nabers but Penix’s top target was probably more consistent.
10. Vikings
(via trade with New York Jets) – J.J. McCarthy, QB, 6-2, 219, Michigan
Scouting report: A difficult prospect to evaluate. Has all the physical tools plus scores well on intangibles such as leadership and maturity, but Michigan’s run-heavy scheme did not ask much of him compared to other top quarterbacks.
11. Jets
(via trade with Minnesota) – Olu Fashanu, OT, 6-6, 312, Penn State
Scouting report: Checks all the boxes for size, athleticism and character. Was not as consistently dominant as tools suggest he should have been, but he’s also a relatively young (turns 22 in December) and inexperienced player (started playing in high school) for someone who spent four years in college.
12. Broncos
Bo Nix, QB, 6-2, 215, Oregon
Scouting report: One of the most experienced quarterbacks to ever come out of college with a record 61 career starts. The 24-year-old Auburn transfer has good mobility and solid arm strength, but misses some makeable downfield throws. Has he already peaked?
13. Raiders
Brock Bowers, TE, 6-3, 243, Georgia
Scouting report: Elite athlete, with excellent hands and the speed and toughness to turn routine plays into huge gains after the catch. In today’s NFL, he’s a bit undersized, which could limit how he’s used as a blocker.
14. Saints
Taliese Fuaga, OT, 6-5, 324, Oregon State
Scouting report: Powerful run blocker who plays with excellent balance. There is some concern his average athleticism and wingspan could push him to guard.
15. Colts
Laiatu Latu, DE, 6-4, 259, UCLA
Scouting report: Skilled and technically proficient pass rusher with good size. Neither his burst nor power are elite, but the whole package works. A neck injury forced him to medically retire in 2020 at Washington, but transferred to UCLA and became a star.
16. Seahawks
Byron Murphy II, DT, 6-0, 297, Texas
Scouting report: Plays low and explosive and often ends up in the backfield, but needs to finish more plays when he gets there.
17. Vikings
Dallas Turner, OLB, 6-2, 247, Alabama
Scouting report: Long and twitchy athlete who bursts off the edge. Wiry frame is unlikely to hold much more bulk.
18. Bengals
Amarius Mims, OT, 6-7, 340, Georgia
Scouting report: If an NFL offensive tackle could be designed in a lab, that player would have Mims’ combination of size and athleticism. He just hasn’t played a lot of ball compared to the other tackles, with just eight career starts.
19. Rams
Jared Verse, DE, 6-3, 254, Florida State
Scouting report: Nonstop in pass rush and run pursuit, but could use to refine his technique and tackling after starting is college career at UAlbany in New York.
20. Steelers
Troy Fautanu, OT, 6-4, 317, Washington
Scouting report: Maybe the most athletic of the tackles and plays with an edge. Less than ideal length could push him off left tackle and inside.
21. Dolphins
Chop Robinson, DE, 6-2, 254, Penn State
Scouting report: Freaky quickness off the line, but was more disruptive than dominant as he failed to finish plays. Ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash at the combine.
22. Eagles
Quinyon Mitchell, CB, 6-0, 195, Toledo
Scouting report: The best size, strength, speed combo among the cornerback class, but how much was he tested in the MAC? He looked just fine at the Senior Bowl, though.
23. Jaguars
(via trade with Minnesota through Cleveland from Houston) – Brian Thomas, WR, 6-2, 209, LSU
Scouting report: Top-end speed is elite and with a bigger frame than his teammate Nabers, but could use more polish as a route-runner. Led the nation with 17 TD catches.
24. Lions
(via trade with Dallas) – Terrion Arnold, CB, 5-11, 189, Alabama
Scouting report: Sound and aggressive cover corner who has a less than top-end speed. He ran a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash at the combine.
25. Packers
Jordan Morgan, OT, 6-5, 311, Arizona
Scouting report: Athletic and strong run blocker who recovered from a torn ACL in 2022 to return to top form by the end of 2023 season. Short arms could move him inside.
26. Buccaneers
Graham Barton, OT, 6-5, 313, Duke
Scouting report: Controls opponents with strong, quick hands, but seems most likely among the top tackle prospects to move inside. likely to center.
27. Cardinals
(from Houston) Darius Robinson, DE, 6-5, 285, Missouri
Scouting report: Powerful player who is stout against the run but might project as a ‘tweener in the NFL, not quite big enough to play inside and not quite quick enough for the edge.
28. Chiefs
(via trade with Buffalo) – Xavier Worthy, WR, 5-11, 165, Texas
Scouting report: Blazing fast, but very small. Ran the 40 in 4.21 seconds to set an NFL combine record.
29. Cowboys
(via trade from Detroit) – Tyler Guyton, OT, 6-7, 322, Oklahoma
Scouting report: Similar to Mims in terms of limited experience (15 college starts), but ideal size-athleticism combo. Technically raw.
30. Ravens
Nate Wiggins, CB, 6-1, 173, Clemson
Scouting report: Long and very fast, but also thin and not much of a presence against the run.
31. 49ers
Ricky Pearsall, WR, 6-1, 189, Florida
Scouting report: Great hands and good burst though his routes, but can get outmuscled by physical cornerbacks.
32. Panthers
(via trade with Buffalo through Kansas City) – Xavier Legette, WR, 6-1, 221, South Carolina
Scouting report: Big, fast and physical receiver, though he didn’t breakout until his fifth college season.
