1. Tennessee Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami FL A+ Grade
   
   
   I had Tennessee getting the first pick back in the preseason. I also mocked a quarterback, but the candidates I considered were not the guy that would eventually become the top pick. That guy was Miami FL quarterback Cam Ward, who now appears to be the overwhelming favorite to go first overall to the Tennessee Titans. Cam Ward is seventh on my big board for the 2025 NFL Draft and the only quarterback in my top 32 as I gave Cam Ward a floor grade of 85/99 and a ceiling grade of 91/99 meaning that Ward is the only guy that I believe has the floor to be a day 1 starter, but there are two qbs in this draft that I believe have higher ceilings, but are much rawer than Cam Ward.
   
   
   
   The 6-2 219 lb Cam Ward had 4,313 passing yards, 39 passing touchdowns, 204 rushing yards, 4 rushing touchdowns, 4,517 total yards, 43 total touchdowns, 7 interceptions, a 67.2 completion percentage, and a 88.7 quarterback rating with the Miami Hurricanes in 2024.
   
   
   
   Cam Ward has a lot of traits you want from an NFL prospect. Can make up to five out of six progressions. Has the arm strength and throwing power. Displays the short, medium, and deep accuracy on tape.
   
   
   
   Possesses exceptional footwork. Can make 1-step, 3-step, 5-step, and 7-step throws in the pocket. He's also incredible at throwing on the run. Can play in any type of offensive scheme whether it is a balance run first offesnse, a west coast offense, a vertical offense, or a shotgun spread offense. Teammates say he is special because of his work ethic, overall talent, leadership, and ability to be clutch. Cam Ward led Miami FL to a 9-0 regular season start before the Miami Hurricanes went 1-3 in their final four games even though all three losses were by 5 points or less.
   
   
   
   Cam Ward went 79/90 at Miami FL's Pro Day. He really impressed NFL teams with his work ethic at his Pro Day, and it looks like the Tennessee Titans are locked in on Cam Ward at 1.
   
   
   
   Cam Ward will have a great supporting cast in Tennessee as well as Brian Callahan the former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator as his head coach with former Jacksonville Jaguars passing game coordinator Nick Holz as Tennessee's offensive coordinator. He will also be in a really tough AFC South Division with other young quarterbacks like C.J. Stroud, Trevor Lawrence, and Anthony Richardson.
   
   
   
   Cam Ward has Dan Moore Jr. at left tackle, Rashawn Slater at left guard, Lloyd Cushenberry at center, Kevin Zeitler at right guard, and J.C. Latham at right tackle. This is a ok, but not great offensive line for Ward to work with as I feel both tackles can be upgraded, but Dan Moore Jr. got a 5 year contract and Latham should do better in year 2 playing his natural position at right tackle. The interior offensive line will do better while the running game with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears will take pressure off of Cam Ward. Calvin Ridley is the flanker wide receiver and Tyler Lockett is the secondary wide receiver. Tennessee also has Chigoziem Okonkwo at tight end entering the final year of his rookie year.
   
   
   
2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travis Hunter, CB, Colorado A+ Grade
   
   
   The Jacksonville Jaguars draft the best player in the draft despite paying a hefty price. Jacksonville will not have a 2026 first round pick, but that's worth it when you can secure the top player in the draft at the biggest position of need which was cornerback for Jacksonville.
   
   
   
   Jacksonville has Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, Walker Little at left tackle, Ezra Cleveland at left guard, Robert Hainsey at center, Patrick Mekari at right guard, and Anton Harrison at right tackle. Jacksonville has Brian Thomas Jr. as their flanker wide receiver, Travis Hunter as their secondary wide receiver, and Gabriel Davis competing with Dyami Brown for slot receiver. Brenton Strange is the starting tight end. Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby will split carries at running back.
   
   
   
   On defense Jacksonville has Josh Hines-Allen at 4-3 right end, Da'Von Hamilton at 4-3 defensive tackle, Arik Armstead at 4-3 defensive tackle, Travon Walker at 4-3 left end, Devin Lloyd at 4-3 right outside linebacker, Foyesade Oluokun at 4-3 middle linebacker, Chad Muma at 4-3 left outside linebacker, Tyson Campbell at field cornerback, Travis Hunter at boundary cornerback, Jourdan Lewis at nickel cornerback, Darnell Savage at strong safety, and Eric Murray at free safety. Jacksonville has an offense and defense that can do things this year especially with Travis Hunter.
   
   
   
   The 6-0 213 lb Travis Hunter was a five star recruit that turned down Florida State to go to Jackson State as the number one overall recruit in the country coming out of High School. Travis Hunter transferred from Jackson State to Colorado where he played wide receiver as well as cornerback. I gave Travis Hunter an A+ in man coverage, an A+ grade in zone coverage, an A+ in press coverage, and a A+ in run stuffing.
   
   
   
   I believe Travis Hunter can play in a cover 0, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, or cover 4 scheme. I gave Travis Hunter a floor grade of 87/99 and a ceiling grade of 97/99 making him the safest prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft.r
   
   
   
   Travis Hunter had 57 receptions, 721 receiving yards, and 5 receiving touchdowns as a wide receiver at Colorado in 2023. Travis Hunter also had 22 solo tackles, 8 assisted tackles, 30 total tackles, 5 deflections from pass breakups, 3 interceptions, and 2 tackles for a loss at cornerback in 2023. Travis Hunter ran a 4.40 40-yard dash this Spring in 2024.
   
   
   
   Travis Hunter had 96 receptions, 1,258 receiving yards, 15 receiving touchdowns, 2 carries, 5 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 98 touches, 1,263 total yards, 16 total touchdowns, 25 solo tackles, 11 assisted tackles, 36 total tackles, 11 deflections from pass breakups, 4 interceptions, 1 tackle for a loss, and 1 forced fumble in 2024. Travis Hunter became the first cornerback since Charles Woodson to win the Heisman Trophy.
   
   
   
   
   
3. New York Giants: Abdul Carter, 3-4 ROLB, Penn State A+ Grade
   
   
   New York signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to one year contracts. Both New York Giants GM Joe Schoen and New York Giants head coach Brian Dabboll crossed their shoulders when watching Shedeur throw at his pro day after showing so much eagerness when speaking with Shedeur Sanders at the 2025 East West Shrine Bowl.
   
   
   
   The 6-3 248 lb Abdul Carter spent his first two years as a 4-3 right outside linebacker, but made the transition to 4-3 defensive end lining up at both 4-3 right end and 4-3 left end in 2024. Abdul Carter had 43 solo tackles, 25 assisted tackles, 68 total tackles, 23.5 tackles for a loss, 12 sacks, 9 quarterback hurries, 4 deflections from pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles in 2024. Abdul Carter is an elite pass rusher with deadly swim moves. You want to see him rip and block shed with more power not being overly reliant on his athleticism, but he has the pass rushing, run stuffing, and coverage you want from a defensive end making him a great complimentary defensive end to Myles Garrett. Abdul Carter is third on my big board behind Travis Hunter and Will Campbell a floor grade of 87/99 and a ceiling grade of 91/99. I think Carter has the floor to be a Defensive Rookie Of The Year Candidate, but I see someone who is more of a Pro Bowl defensive end rather than a player who gets into Canton.
   
   
   
   New York would have three lethal pass rushers with Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Brian Burns. I also discussed the possibility of Carter moving inside to 3-4 middle linebacker so all four of the New York Giants best linebackers could play on their defense. If New York drafts Abdul Carter it may signal that they do not want to use a fifth year tender on Thibodeaux too. There's a lot of moving parts here.
   
   
   
4. New England Patriots: Will Campbell, LT, LSU A+ Grade
   
   
   New England got their quarterback in Drake Maye in the 2024 NFL Draft. Now they get their left tackle and my number two player on my big board for the 2025 NFL Draft in Will Campbell who I have ranked behind Travis Hunter and ahead of Abdul Carter.
   
   
   
   New England is getting my number two player as a blindside to Drake Maye. After quarterback left tackle is the most important position on the positional value pyramid. Drafting a left tackle like Will Campbell gives Drake Maye a good blindside who can have an instant impact. Drake Maye and Will Campbell are both earth signs with Maye a virgo and Campbell a capricorn born on January 6th meaning these two will click like gangbusters in New England. I hope I didn't traumatize any people by bringing up a traumatic day in US History. Anyway back to why New England needs to draft Will Campbell at 4.
   
   
   
   The 6-6 319 lb Will Campbell has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking strength, run blocking footwork, zone blocking, pancake blocking, pull blocking, and cut blocking you want from a blindside. He's a three year starter at left tackle who went from squatting 350 lbs as a freshman to 500 lbs as a sophomore to now squatting 615 lbs entering is junior season at LSU. Will Campbell is the biggest reason Jayden Daniels became the second pick in the 2024 NFL Draft outside of wide receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.
   
   
   
   Drake Maye will have an offensive line with Will Campbell at left tackle, Cole Strange at left guard, Garrett Bradbury at center, Michael Onwenu at right guard, and Morgan Moses at right tackle. Verderian Lowe last years starting left tackle is the backup left tackle, Layden Robinson is the backup left guard, Ben Brown is the backup center, Sidy Sow is the backup right guard, and Caedan Wallace is the backup right tackle. Drake Maye will also have Stefon Diggs as a flanker wide receiver, Kayshon Boutte as a secondary wide receiver, Demario Douglas as a slot receiver, Javon Baker as their number four wide receiver, Kendrick Bourne as their number five wide receiver, Mack Hollins as their number six wide receiver, and Ja'Lynn Polk as their number seven wide receiver with Hunter Henry at tight end, Austin Hooper as the number two tight end, and Jaheim Bell as the number three tight end. Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson return at running back. Drake Maye will have all the pieces to take off and click in year two starting in 2025 once Will Campbell becomes his blindside as New England has quality starters and depth players on the offensive line and at tight end. I gave Will Campbell a floor grade of 87/99 and a ceiling grade of 96/99 making him one of the safer prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Cleveland Browns: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan A+ Grade
   
   
   Cleveland needed multiple defensive tackles. Mason Graham is an upgrade over both Maleik Collins and Shelby Harris. I mocked Mason Graham to Cleveland in my very first 2025 NFL Mock Draft back in the Summer.
   
   
   
   The 6-3 296 lb Mason Graham can play 4-3 defensive tackle, 3-4 right end, 3-4 nose tackle, and 3-4 left end with his versatility. Mason Graham had 14 solo tackles, 13 assisted tackles, 27 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, 1 quarterback hurry, and 1 deflection from a pass breakup as a true freshman in 2022. Mason Graham had 23 solo tackles, 13 assisted tackles, 36 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries, 1 deflection from a pass breakup, and 1 forced fumble as a true sophomore in 2023. Mason Graham had 23 solo tackles, 22 assisted tackles, 45 total tackles, 7 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries, 1 deflection from a pass breakup, and 1 kick/punt return blocked showing his presense on special teams.
   
   
   
   Cleveland has Myles Garrett at 4-3 right end, Mason Graham at 4-3 defensive tackle, Shelby Harris at 4-3 defensive tackle, and Isaiah McGuire at 4-3 left end. This is a very strong defensive line with the addition of Mason Graham.
   
   
   
   I gave Mason Graham a 85/99 for floor and a 96/99 for ceiling. Mason Graham does have potential to be a blue chip player in the 2025 NFL Draft and ranks fifth on my big board.
   
   
   
6. Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State A+ Grade
   
   
   The 5-8 211 lb Ashton Jeanty had 156 carries, 821 rushing yards, 7 rushing touchdowns, 14 receptions, 155 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns, 170 touches, 976 total yards, and 7 total touchdowns as a true freshman in 2022. Ashton Jeanty had 220 carries, 1,347 rushing yards, 14 rushing touchdowns, 43 receptions, 569 receiving yards, 5 receiving touchdowns, 263 touches, 1,916 total yards, and 19 total touchdowns as a true sophomore in 2023. Asthon Jeanty had 374 carries, 2,601 rushing yards, 29 rushing touchdowns, 23 receptions, 138 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown, 397 touches, 2,739 total yards, and 30 total touchdowns as a junior in 2024. Las Vegas gets the top running back in the 2025 NFL Draft to be their bell cow.
   
   
   
   Ashton Jeanty has the speed, pass catching, ball carrier vision, and pass blocking. Ashton Jeanty checked off every box you want in a running back as Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers will be the lynch pins in the Las Vegas Raiders offense moving foward.
   
   
   
   
   
7. New York Jets: Armand Membou, RT, Missouri F Grade
   
   
   I had 5 offensive tackles ahead of Armand Membou. Kelvin Banks Jr., Josh Connerly Jr., Josh Simmons, and Aireontae Ersery. I had Grey Zabel and Jalen Travis ahead of Membou too. This is easily an F grade.
   
   
   
   New York gets a right tackle. I'm not high on Armand Membou and don't view him as anything more than a backup right tackle. Someone will draft him as he's a consensus day 1 pick despite being ranked 190th on my big board with a sixth round grade as my potential for him is 84/99 with anything below 85 being a backup grade. The reason he will get overdrafted is because he didn't give up any sacks despite failing to beat out Javon Foster a fourth round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for the left tackle job at Missouri.
   
   
   
   The 6-3 332 lb Armand Membou was Missouri's right tackle for the past four years after playing right tackle in High School. New York may have upgraded over Carter Warren, but I think Membou will be worse than Alex Leatherwood.
   
   
   
   The New York Jets have Olumuyiwa Fashanu at left tackle, John Simpson at left guard, Joe Tippmann at center, Alijah Vera-Tucker at right tackle, and Armand Membou at right tackle. Justin Fields has a good offensive line outside of Membou entering this season as the New York Jets starting quarterback. Garrett Wilson is the flanker wide receiver, Allen Lazard is the secondary wide receiver, and Josh Reynolds is the slot receiver. Malachi Corley and Tyler Johnson are competing for the number four wide receiver job. Jeremy Ruckert is the starting tight end. Breece Hall enters a contract year in the final year of his rookie deal with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis entering their sophomore seasons after being 2024 draft picks at running back.
   
   
   
8. Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona A Grade
   
   
   The 6-5 210 lb Tetairoa McMillan is significantly bigger than Luther Burden III. He's also made more one-handed catches on film. He can also run all 30 routes on the route tree like Luther Burden III. Tetairoa McMillan ran a 4.50 40 yard dash this Spring, but could get that down to a 4.41 with training. The fact that Luther Burden III's projected 40 time is much better than McMillan's is what separates the two despite McMillan being the bigger target. Tetairoa McMillan ran a 4.38 at Arizona's Pro Day leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.
   
   
   
   Tetairoa McMillan had 39 receptions, 702 receiving yards, and 8 receiving touchdowns as a true freshman in 2022. Tetairoa McMillan had 90 receptions, 1,402 receiving yards, and 10 receiving touchdowns as a true sophomore in 2023. Tetairoa McMillan had 84 receptions, 1,319 receiving yards, and 8 receiving touchdowns as a junior in 2024.
   
   
   
   Carolina has Bryce Young at quarterback, Ikem Ekwonu at left tackle, Damien Lewis at left guard, Austin Corbett at center, Robert Hunt at right guard, Taylor Moton at right tackle, Tetairoa McMillan as their flanker wide receiver, Xavier Legette as their secondary wide receiver, Adam Theilen as their slot receiver, Jalen Coker is your number four wide receiver, Ja'Tavion Sanders at tight end, and Chubba Hubbard at running back. There are no mroe excuses for Bryce Young.
   
   
   
   
   
9. New Orleans Saints: Kelvin Banks Jr., LT, Texas A+ Grade
   
   
   New Orleans offensive line now has Taliese Fuaga at left tackle, Kelvin Banks Jr. at left guard, Erik McCoy at center, Cesar Ruiz at right guard, and Trevor Penning at right tackle. Early speculation is that Kelvin Banks Jr. will be the left tackle, Dillon Radunz will play left guard, Erik McCoy will play center, Cesar Ruiz will play right guard, and Taliese Fuaga last years left tackle will move back to his college position at right tackle.
   
   
   
   The 6-5 315 lb Kelvin Banks Jr. has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking strength, run blocking footwork, zone blocking, pancake blocking, pull blocking, and cut blocking you want from a blindside. He's a three year starter at left tackle that took the left tackle job from Christian Jones right out of the gate as a true freshman after being a five star recruit.
   
   
   
   Kelvin Banks Jr. was a guy that some had sliding inside to left guard due to his arm length. My second best offensive linemen goes to New Orleans where he could end up as the left tackle and new blindside if New Orleans wants to move Taliese Fuaga back to right tackle where he played at Oregon State in college.
   
   
   
10. Chicago Bears: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan A- Grade
    
    
    Chicago gets a number two tight end to pair with Cole Kmet. Colston Loveland had the highest ceiling of any tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft. Chicgao can buyout Cole Kmet and save $8.4 million in cap space. Chicago now has D.J. Moore at flanker wide receiver, Rome Oduzne as their secondary wide receiver, Cole Kmet as their main tight end, Colston Loveland as their secondary tight end, and Gerald Everett is probably the third string tight end after being the backup tight end last year.
    
    
    
    The 6-6 248 lb Colston Loveland had 45 receptions, 649 receiving yards, and 4 receiving touchdowns in 2023. Colston Loveland had 56 receptions, 582 receiving yards, and 5 receiving touchdowns in 2024. Colston Loveland also showed the ability to run all 30 routes on the route tree making him a consensus first round pick. I know Tyler Warren was the consensus top tight end, but Colston Loveland has a higher ceiling.
    
    
    
    Chicago now has Braxton Jones at left tackle, Joe Thuney at left guard, Drew Dalman at center, Jonah Jackson at right guard, and Darnell Wright at right tackle for last years number one draft pick in Caleb Williams with Caleb Williams entering year two at quarterback. Chicago has weapons for Williams in the passing game with D.J. Moore at flanker wide receiver, Rome Oduzne as the secondary wide receiver after being a slot receiver as a rookie. Cole Kmet is the starting tight end, Colston Loveland is the secondary tight end complimenting Kmet in two tight end sets, and Gerald Everett is the third string tight end. D'Andre Swift is the starting running back. Ben Johnson was the offensive coordinator on the Detroit Lions last year, and now he has a very formidable offense to work with entering his first year as the Chicago Bears head coach.
    
    
    
    
    
11. San Francisco 49ers: Mykel Williams, LE, Georgia A+ Grade
    
    
    Mykel Williams was my top 4-3 defensive end in this draft. Nick Bosa at 4-3 right end and Mykel Williams at 4-3 left end is a great defensive end tandem up front.
    
    
    
    Mykel Williams is the most complete pass rusher of those five which is why he came off the board at 8 here. Mykel Williams is a better version of Travon Walker. Mykel Williams is versatile enough to play 4-3 right end, 4-3 left end, 3-4 right outside linebacker, and 3-4 left outside linebacker with his versatility. He can be problematic for NFL left tackles and NFL right tackles.
    
    
    
    The 6-5 265 lb Mykel Williams had 15 solo tackles, 13 assisted tackles, 28 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, 5 quarterback hurries, and 4.5 sacks as a true freshman in 2022. Mykel Williams had 11 solo tackles, 7 assisted tackles, 18 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, 8 quarterback hurries, and 2 deflections from pass breakups as a true sophomore in 2023. Mykel Williams had 15 solo tackles, 6 assisted tackles, 21 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, 5 sacks, 3 quarterback hurries, 2 deflections from pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles in 2024.
    
    
    
    The numbers for Mykel Williams in terms of tackles for a loss and sacks may alarm you. He's the only guy who consistently looks dominant when rushing the quarterback, stopping the run, and dropping into coverage when watching his 2023 tape. He looked worse in 2024 outside of the SEC Championship where Mykel Williams dominated Texas left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr.
    
    
    
12. Dallas Cowboys: Tyler Booker, RG, Alabama A+ Grade
    
    
    The 6-5 321 lb Tyler Booker has the pass blocking, pass blocking strength, pass blocking footwork, run blocking, run blocking strength, run blocking footwork, zone blocking, pancake blocking, pull blocking, and cut blocking you want from a guard. He's got the versatility to play both left guard and right guard.
    
    
    
    Dallas has Tyler Guyton at left tackle, Tyler Smith at left guard, Cooper Beebe at center, Tyler Booker at right guard, and Terrence Steele at right tackle. Dallas has an offensive line that will work wonders for Dak Prescott.
    
    
    
    
    
13. Miami Dolphins: Kenneth Grant, NT, Michigan A- Grade
    
    
    The 6-3 331 lb Kenneth Grant had 16 solo tackles, 13 assisted tackles, 29 total tackles, 6 quarterback hurries, 5 tackles for a loss, 5 deflections from pass breakups, 3.5 sacks, and 1 interception in 2023. Kenneth Grant had 18 solo tackles, 14 assisted tackles, 32 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, 5 defelctions from pass breakups, 3 sacks, and 3 quarterback hurries in 2024. Kenneth Grant has the pass rushing, run stuffing, and block shedding you want from a 4-3 defensive tackle. He's versatile enough to play 4-3 defensive tackle or 3-4 nose tackle.
    
    
    
    Miami needed a 3-4 nose tackle. I liked Walter Nolen and Deone Walker more, but Nolen has character concerns from interview at the NFL Combine and Walker had pad level issues. Grant was my third best defensive tackle, so I will give this an A- grade for Miami.
    
    
    
14. Indianapolis Colts: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State A- Grade
    
    
    The 6-5 256 lb Tyler Warren had 104 receptions, 1,233 receiving yards, and 8 receiving touchdowns. Tyler Warren also showed the ability to run all 30 routes on the route tree making him a consensus first round pick. He also has the ability to block at a high level. Tyler Warren has the best floor of any tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft making him a day 1 starter, but I honestly believe Michigan tight end Colston Loveland has the highest ceiling. The Indianapolis Colts end up landing Tyler Warren in the first round.
    
    
    
    The Indianapolis Colts offense has Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones competing for the starting quarterback job, but I would think Anthony Richardson wins that competition. Indianapolis has Bernard Raimann at left tackle, Quinton Nelson at left guard, Tanor Bortolini at center, Matt Goncalves at right guard, and Braden Smith at right tackle. Indianapolis will have Michael Pittman Jr. at flanker wide receiver, Josh Downs as their secondary wide receiver, Alec Pierece at slot receiver, Adonai Mitchell as the nuber four wide receiver, Ashton Dulin as their number five wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell as their number six wide receiver, and Anthony Gould as their number seven wide receiver. Tyler Warren is the starting tight end. Jonathan Taylor is the starting running back. There are no more excuses for Anthony Richardson with this supporting cast.
    
    
    
    Indianapolis has Kwity Paye at 4-3 right end, DeForest Buckner at 4-3 defensive tackle, Grover Stewart at 4-3 defensive tackle, Samson Ekubam at 4-3 left end, Laiatu Latu as the backup 4-3 right end as a situational pass rusher for both Paye and Ekubam, Neville Gallimore as a backup 4-3 defensive tackle to Buckner, Adetomiwa Adebawore as a backup 4-3 defensive tackle to Grover Stewart, and Tyquan Lewis as the backup 4-3 left end.
    
    
15. Atlanta Falcons: Jalon Walker, 3-4 LOLB, Georgia F Grade
    
    
    Atlanta gets a sack artist. I'm not a big fan of Jalon Walker and have him graded lower than any player mocked in the first round. I'd probably give a team an F grade for drafting him in the first round, but the reality is Atlanta needs a 3-4 right outside linebacker and Jalon Walker is the best overall fit of any remaining player on the board at 15.
    
    
    
    The 6-1 243 lb Jalon Walker had 37 solo tackles, 23 assisted tackles, 60 total tackles, 10.5 tackles fora loss, 7 quarterback hurries, 6.5 sacks, and 2 deflections from pass breakups in 2024. Jalon Walker isn't a guy who impressed me on tape, but a lot of mock drafts have him ahead of Mykel Williams who I believe is the superior prospect.
    
    
    
16. Arizona Cardinals: Walter Nolen, 3-4 RE, Ole Miss A+ Grade
    
    
    Arizona will have Walter Nolen at 3-4 right end, Dalvin Tomlinson at 3-4 nose tackle, and Calias Campbell at 3-4 left end. Darius Robinson is the backup 3-4 right end, Bilal Nichols is the at 3-4 nose tackle, and Dante Stills at 3-4 left end. Arizona has a very deep defensive line.
