Chargers and Dolphins Lead with Skill and Signal Callers
The Chargers hold the first selection in this projection and are expected to address a lack of playmakers at wide receiver by taking Ohio State's Smith. The prospect has posted 984 yards and 12 touchdowns this season while measuring 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds. Miami follows and targets quarterback Mestemaker, a 20-year-old dual-threat option standing 6-3 and 215 pounds who showed strong mobility and creativity after one season at North Texas.
Defensive Standouts Fill Mid-First Round Needs
The Titans select cornerback Moore at No. 3 after he allowed just six receptions on 153 coverage snaps while measuring 6-2 and 197 pounds. Tampa Bay adds edge rusher Simmons at No. 4, noting his 31.5 sacks and eight forced fumbles since the start of the 2024 season despite a listed weight of 246 pounds. The Commanders take edge rusher Stewart fifth, valuing his explosiveness even as questions remain around limited production of one sack this season and 12 over the past three years.
Late First Round Targets Quarterbacks and Line Help
The Eagles add wide receiver Becker sixth after he ranks 11th nationally with 99.1 receiving yards per game at 6-4 and 208 pounds. The Jets use the seventh pick on quarterback Carr from Notre Dame, who has six rushing touchdowns since last season. Houston selects offensive tackle Goosby eighth, while the Cardinals take quarterback Chambliss ninth. The second Jets selection closes the top 10 with cornerback Hampton, who has nine passes defensed and one interception this season.
