65 – Seattle Seahawks (NYG): Notre Dame S Xavier Watts

Seattle’s in an okay spot at safety with Julian Love and Coby Bryant, the latter of whom took a step forward last year. But the team likes to give snaps to three and Bryant is entering a contract year. Watts isn’t the athletic freak that some other safety prospects in this class are but his instincts for the position stand out, especially since he’s relatively new to playing safety.  

66 – Kansas City Chiefs (TEN): Texas DT Alfred Collins

The depth of this defensive tackle class will be a boon for teams trying to restock their rotations, including Kansas City which has slowly bled depth on the interior alongside DT Chris Jones. Collins is a mammoth player at 6-5 and 332 pounds, and he can eat up a lot of space and attention next to Jones. 

67 – Cleveland Browns: Texas WR Isaiah Bond

Perhaps receiver becomes less of a need for the Browns if they plan to play Hunter more on offense instead of defense at first. But one way to counter the uncertainty at quarterback is to make sure whoever is under center has ample help, so another pick at receiver can’t be ruled out. Bond is a deep threat who can take the top off the defense and potentially develop more dimensions to his game down the line. Cleveland has had him in for a 30 visit. 

68 – Las Vegas Raiders: Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson

This running back class is so deep that the Raiders could wait all the way until the third round (possibly even later) and still reliably be assured of landing a starting-caliber player. Johnson carried the load for Iowa this past season. Explosive isn’t a word that’s been used to describe the Hawkeyes offense in recent years, but that’s the dynamic Johnson brought to the table. He doesn’t have home run speed but he’s got enough burst and vision to still rip off chunk gains. 

69 – New England Patriots: Florida State DT Joshua Farmer

Among the laundry list of needs for the Patriots this offseason is rebuilding their front seven, something they started on in free agency. Farmer would give Vrabel another war hog up front and is among the prospects who have visited New England this spring. 

70 – Jacksonville Jaguars: Louisville CB Quincy Riley

The Jaguars could use more depth and competition in the secondary, and Riley gives the team another option who could eventually settle in at safety depending on how things shake out. Jacksonville signed Jourdan Lewis in free agency to play nickel, paid Tyson Campbell to be the No. 1 option last summer and used a third-round pick on Jarrian Jones, initially to compete for the slot job. 

71 – New Orleans Saints: Ole Miss WR Tre Harris

After snaring Dart last round, the Saints go back to the well to reunite him with his favorite target in college who was incredibly productive, topping 1,000 yards in just eight games last fall. Harris faces some similar questions as Dart in terms of what Ole Miss’ scheme did or didn’t do to prepare him for Sunday’s, but he’s big and a great athlete for his size. He brings something different to the Saints’ receiving corps. 

72 – Chicago Bears: Ohio State DE JT Tuimoloau

Look for the Bears to make multiple picks to reinforce the trenches, including more firepower at edge rusher. The highs of Tuimoloau’s college career look like a top-ten prospect, while the overall body of work was more steady than elite. Still, he’s a high-floor, high-motor prospect who’s a terrific fit in Bears DC Dennis Allen‘s defense as a 4-3 end. 

73 – New York Jets: Nebraska DT Ty Robinson

Outside of DT Quinnen Williams, the rest of the Jets’ interior is as shaky as it’s been since Williams arrived as a top pick. Fortunately it’s a good year to restock with the wealth of interior defenders who will be available into Day 2 and the early part of Day 3. Many seem to be flying under the radar, like Robinson. He’s got the length and physicality to fit well into the new scheme under HC Aaron Glenn and DC Steve Wilks. 

74 – Carolina Panthers: Virginia S Jonas Sanker

The Panthers almost have to come away with a safety in their first few picks based on how the depth chart is currently constructed with just three players. Sanker is a smart, competitive and an outstanding athlete, compiling a RAS score of 9.54 out of 10. He’s among the safeties who have visited the Panthers. 

75 – San Francisco 49ers: Tennessee DT Omarr Norman-Lott

Norman-Lott is a fascinating prospect. He was almost exclusively a designated interior pass rusher in a heavy rotation at Tennessee, seeing just 225 snaps in 2024. He was incredibly disruptive with those snaps, however. At 6-2 and 300-plus pounds, he should have the size to play more snaps, teams just haven’t seen him do it yet. The ones that already employ a heavy rotation up front like the 49ers will gravitate more to Norman-Lott. 

76 – Dallas Cowboys: Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor

The Cowboys need more help at receiver and they’ve shown a predilection for height/weight/speed athletes at the position. Guys like Jalen Tolbert, Jonathan Mingo, Jalen Brooks and Ryan Flournoy all look like they popped out of similar molds. Ayomanor is a similar archetype. 

77 – New England Patriots (ATL): Ole Miss DE Princely Umanmielen

As the Patriots overhaul the defense under Vrabel, the word is they want to prioritize speed and disruption more than the previous staff. Umanmielen fits that mold. He’s not undersized at over 6-4 and 240-plus pounds but his calling card is definitely speed over power. He’d potentially give the Patriots a fastball in their pass rush rotation. 

78 – Arizona Cardinals: N.C. State OT Anthony Belton

The limited supply of tackles is going to increase the demand and push up players who most fans might not necessarily be familiar with. Belton is a candidate to watch. He’s had 18 reported 30 visits, by far the most of any prospect as far as we know right now. One of those was with Arizona. His measurables are strong, especially for teams that want to play a lot of gap scheme in the run game, coming in at 6-6 and nearly 340 pounds. Right tackle is a question mark long-term with Jonah Williams in a contract year and Kelvin Beachum turning 36. 

79 – Houston Texans (MIA): William & Mary OT Charles Grant

The Texans will likely take a swing or two at finding a replacement for Tunsil in this draft. Grant is one of the prospects who’s taken a visit with Houston and has intriguing potential as a small school developmental project. 

80 – Indianapolis Colts: Oregon TE Terrance Ferguson

While the Colts have an unmistakable need at tight end, this class is deep enough that they could wait until Day 2 to address it with a prospect like Ferguson. He’s a little linear as a player but Ferguson is a big target at 6-5 and has speed to stretch the field up the seam. 

81 – Cincinnati Bengals: Georgia G Tate Ratledge

Guard is an area of need for the Bengals as they work to keep QB Joe Burrow‘s protection in a good place. Ratledge checks just about every box teams will want to see in a guard — size (6-6, 300+), power, athleticism (sub-5 second 40 time), toughness and experience (three-year starter with accolades for a top SEC team)

82 – Seattle Seahawks: Purdue OL Marcus Mbow

Seattle can easily justify a double dip on the interior offensive line with all three starting spots up for grabs, and Mbow is another athletic scheme fit with versatility who could fit in at multiple slots up front. 

83 – Pittsburgh Steelers: Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten

The Steelers have done a fair amount of homework on this quarterback class, and could take one at some point. But they’ve done an equal amount of work on the running backs, dedicating nearly a third of their official 30 visits to the position. It’s a virtual lock they’ll select one at some point in the mid rounds. Tuten, one of their reported visits, is arguably a value at this point after he shredded the Combine with a 4.32-second 40. At 5-9 and 206 pounds, he’s a compact player who’s hard for defenses to corral, and his tape from this past year is littered with explosive runs. 

84 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers: South Carolina LB Demetrius Knight 

Lavonte David can’t play forever, though it seems like he’s certainly going to try. Regardless, the Buccaneers have had a hole at the other linebacker spot next to him since it became apparent multiple years ago that Devin White wasn’t going to work out. Knight has taken a 30 visit with Tampa Bay. He’s already 25 after spending six years in college at three schools but checks some interesting boxes for size and athleticism. His skill as a blitzer makes him a particularly good fit with the Bucs. 

85 – TRADE, Tennessee Titans (DEN): LSU DE Bradyn Swinson

The Titans arguably still haven’t replaced OLB Harold Landry after cutting him loose to save money. They signed Dre’Mont Jones but his fit might be better on the interior. Other than him, they have Arden Key, Lorenzo Carter and not much else. Swinson would help beef up the rotation even if he doesn’t profile as an every-down starter. 

86 – Los Angeles Chargers: Utah State WR Jalen Royals

Help for QB Justin Herbert is needed and receiver is a popular pick for the Chargers early in mocks. There’s enough depth that they could wait, however. Royals is an interesting option generating some buzz as a sleeper. He’s a rugged player at 6-0 and 205 pounds with skills after the catch. Utah State didn’t ask him to run a full route tree, but there’s potential for him to develop into a quality starter if he fixes that aspect of his game. 

87 – Green Bay Packers: Iowa State CB Darien Porter

Packers CB Jaire Alexander remains on the roster and it’s possible the two sides could work something out to keep him in Green Bay. Cornerback remains a need, however, and Porter has traits that should appeal to the team. His arms are among the longest of any corner in this class, which is a trait the Packers prize. At 6-3 and 195 pounds, he ran a 4.3 flat in the 40 and turned in stellar agility times, including 6.71 seconds in the three cone. He has just one year of starting experience and is a developmental project, but in the meantime he can be a special teams demon as evidenced by his five career blocked kicks in college. 

88 – Jacksonville Jaguars (MIN): Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson

Jacksonville has been pretty coy about its draft plans so far this spring with new HC Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone but I have a hunch that Coen would like to replicate the backfield setup he had in Tampa Bay with Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, with even third-stringer Sean Tucker popping off for big games. Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is in a contract year and was challenged by RB Tank Bigsby for touches last year. Sampson is a different back from both of those two and would bring an explosive element to Jacksonville reminiscent of what Irving did for Tampa Bay. 

89 – Houston Texans: Texas DT Vernon Broughton

The Texans’ defense was outstanding last year and the defensive line was a big reason for that. Still, more help is needed at defensive tackle to ensure a strength remains strong. Houston specifically could use more size, as they were victimized by opposing rushing attacks at times, and Broughton checks that box at 6-5 and 311 pounds. 

90 – Los Angeles Rams: TCU WR Jack Bech

The Rams signed Davante Adams to pair with Puka Nacua and handed out $10 million to speedster Tutu Atwell, but this is a team that likes to keep a strong pipeline at receiver. Bech’s skin tone has invited comparisons to former Rams WR Cooper Kupp, which isn’t quite accurate. He’s bigger, more explosive and not quite as agile. A better comparison might actually be to Nacua, as both are physical players with great hands and the toughness to thrive in traffic. 

91 – Baltimore Ravens: Ole Miss DE Jared Ivey

Ivey fits the profile the Ravens tend to gravitate toward at edge rusher. Baltimore loves to scheme up pressure with stunts, twists and blitzes as opposed to just having their rushers pin their ears back and try to beat the blocker in front of them. The Ravens look for pass rushers who are versatile, smart, gritty and savvy, not just twitched-up physical freaks. Ivey has great length, size and good enough movement skills to fit what Baltimore is looking for. 

92 – Seattle Seahawks (DET): Louisville DE Ashton Gillotte

The Seahawks have a number of solid edge rushers with Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu, Derick Hall and free agent addition DeMarcus Lawrence. However, Nwosu has accepted pay cuts each of the past two seasons and is on somewhat thin ice. Mafe has 15 sacks over the past two seasons but is entering a contract year. There’s a good chance Seattle looks to restock the pipeline. Gillotte tested surprisingly well and is a high-motor rusher who would be an interesting fit for Seattle. 

93 – New Orleans Saints (WAS): Nebraska TE Thomas Fidone II

Tight end is among the many positions the Saints could use help at, even after bringing back Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau. Fidone is an under-the-radar name in this class who could sneak into this range. He’s taken a visit with the Saints and has a solid all-around game to complement Johnson, who used to play receiver. 

94 – Cleveland Browns (BUF): Bowling Green TE Harold Fannin

Fannin put up absolutely monster numbers at Bowling Green, piling up 1,555 yards in just 13 games, but he’s a bit of a weird projection to the NFL level given the level of competition concerns and his unique dimensions. At 6-2, 241 pounds, Fannin is on the smaller side, and he’s not necessarily an elite athlete to compensate, though he didn’t test poorly either. There are some comparisons to draw with former veteran TE Charles Clay, who entered the league as a fullback. For a team like the Browns that wants to rely on multi-tight end sets, Fannin is a strong fit and the two sides have gotten to know each other on a formal visit. 

95 – Kansas City Chiefs: Texas OT Cameron Williams 

The Chiefs have to start building a pipeline at tackle, and Williams is the perfect fit for that. He has high-end athletic traits but is still putting things together on the field. He declared early as a junior and is a good fit for Kansas City as a developmental option to take over for Jawaan Taylor when the Chiefs reach a point they can move on. 

96 – Philadelphia Eagles: Boston College OT Ozzy Trapilo

The Eagles love a hulking offensive lineman, and Trapilo is straight out of the prototype manual at 6-8 and 316 pounds. He’s got good athleticism for that size as well and would be able to step into swing tackle duties for the Eagles immediately while getting seasoned to take over for RT Lane Johnson down the line in a best case scenario. 

97 – Minnesota Vikings (Comp): Penn State S Kevin Winston Jr.

The Vikings had some defections at safety this offseason and are as thin there as they’ve been in a while. Winston is an uber-athletic prospect who missed the bulk of this past season with a torn ACL but declared for the draft anyway. 

98 – Miami Dolphins (Comp): Indiana DT C.J. West

Back-to-back defensive trench picks for the Dolphins, who could certainly use the help here. West is a squat and powerful defensive tackle whose specialty is run defense. There are some stylistic comparisons to veteran DT Poona Ford. 

99 – New York Giants (Comp): Oklahoma LB Danny Stutsman

Stutsman is a bit of a throwback middle linebacker. He started the past three years for the Sooners and was a prolific run defender. He didn’t test like a bad athlete at all, checking in at 6-3, 233 pounds and running a 4.52-second 40 at the Combine, but there’s room for improvement in coverage. There have been some rumblings that Giants DC Shane Bowen would like a better scheme fit at linebacker than Bobby Okereke, and the rest of the room is iffy. 

100 – San Francisco 49ers (Comp): Cal CB Nohl Williams

The 49ers stay close to home with this pick to add more competition at outside cornerback after losing Charvarius Ward. Williams is a playmaker, picking off nine passes in two years at Cal and scoring four touchdowns. He’s got good size and enough speed to hold up on the outside. 

101 – Los Angeles Rams (Comp): Kansas State CB Jacob Parrish

Teams tend to push slot corners down the board, so it’s quite possible Parrish is available this late. If so, I’m confident he’ll outperform his draft slot. He’s a feisty competitor and runs a blazing 4.3 40 time. His lack of size at 5-10 and 193 pounds means the NFL will probably want to push him into the nickel role. 

102 – Detroit Lions (Comp): Georgia C Jared Wilson

The value for Wilson is too good to ignore here even if the Lions got the general consensus top center in the draft in Zabel in the first round. Zabel can also play guard and Wilson gives them more depth up front and insurance for Ragnow, who is still just 28 but has the injury history of a much older player.
