10. Chicago (5-12)
I wonder if the Bears will try to jump Las Vegas to get Jeanty. He’d be a perfect fit in Ben Johnson’s system. If they stay put, adding a young tackle to the veteran interior offensive line additions the Bears made in free agency makes sense too. No one had less time to throw the football last season than No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams.
Pick: OT Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas. A versatile player upfront that can step in and play a number of different spots is a good fit for the Bears. This move rounds out Chicago’s offensive line nicely heading into 2025.
11. San Francisco (6-11)
I think tackle is a possibility even with Trent Williams, 37, returning in 2025, but the 49ers suffered significant losses upfront defensively and restocking with youthful talent should be a priority for 49ers GM John Lynch.
Pick: DT Walter Nolen, Ole Miss. Nolen can be a disrupter in both the run and pass games, recording 6.5 sacks from the interior of the Rebels’ defensive line this past season.
12. Dallas (7-10)
Jeanty would have been a good fit here, but with him already off the board, Dallas looks to give Dak Prescott another reliable playmaker.
Pick: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State. Warren and veteran Jake Ferguson would give opponents a lot to think about in the middle of the field with CeeDee Lamb being one of the best outside weapons in football.
13. Miami (8-9)
There’s already a hole at the No. 2 cornerback spot and now top cornerback Jalen Ramsey could reportedly be traded. The Dolphins have to come out of this draft with a cornerback who can play right away.
Pick: CB Will Johnson, Michigan. Johnson has terrific size (6-2, 202) and movement skills with a consistent track record of production.
14. Indianapolis (8-9)
The Colts need to find out if Anthony Richardson really is the answer at quarterback. Getting him a top tight end prospect as a security blanket over the middle makes a lot of sense.
Pick: TE Colston Loveland, Michigan. Loveland’s a big target with a high football IQ for finding open space within a defense. He’s terrific after the catch and would be a great fit for a Colts’ offense that got 39 receptions from the tight end position in 2024.
15. Atlanta (8-9)
Atlanta finished 31st in the NFL in sacks (31) last year and hasn’t had a player reach double-digit sacks since Vic Beasley Jr. in 2016.
Pick: Edge Mike Green, Marshall. Green (6-4, 248) is a gifted pass rusher, who recorded 17 sacks and three forced fumbles last season for the Thundering Herd and would instantly give the Falcons some juice on the edge of their defense.
