It’s either stay and take Cam Ward or trade out. Is new general manager Mike Borgonzi really going to hitch his wagon to what we’ve seen from Will Levis so far?

I believe the Browns would draft Cam Ward if he were available at pick two. If not, the combination of Myles Garrett and Abdul Carter for the next five years is far too enticing to take anyone else at this spot.

The team that hawked Shedeur Sanders the hardest at the Shrine Bowl gets their potential franchise quarterback. Even if they sign a veteran quarterback, getting a rookie in the fold is still a priority.

Sure, the Patriots need a left tackle, but none of the tackles in this class hold a candle to Travis Hunter as a prospect. He immediately becomes Drake Maye’s No. 1 receiver with the ability to moonlight on the defensive side of the ball.

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Well, Pete Carroll isn’t going to stop prioritizing the running back position just because he took a year away from the NFL. Ashton Jeanty, the best running back prospect since at least Bijan Robinson, immediately gives the Raiders a formidable rushing attack.

Jalon Walker can easily play the true 3-4 outside linebacker role the Panthers have in Ejiro Evero’s defense. Watching his tape, though, I still want him rushing the passer as much as possible.

Call it overkill if you want, but the Lions got to the top of the NFC under Ben Johnson by continually investing in their offensive line. Kelvin Banks Jr. has three years of starting experience under his belt and can step in right away.

The 49ers defensive line took a massive step back from its Super Bowl form last season. John Lynch isn’t going to let that happen much longer. Pairing the freakiest athlete in the class with defensive line coach Kris Kocurek is a tremendous match.

While Anthony Richardson isn’t hurting for weapons, Tyler Warren’s versatility makes him an easy choice to join the offense. He will be a value add as a blocker in the run game and has shown to be a weapon on gadget-type plays in Penn State’s offense.

Mykel Williams just feels like a Bengals edge rusher: oversized, yet unpolished. Sometimes those turn into Carlos Dunlap or Michael Johnson. Other times they’re Margus Hunt or Myles Murphy. I’d bet on Williams being closer to the former.

A slight fall for Tetairoa McMillan, but that’s the nature of what many see as a position that can be found easily on Day 2. McMillan has the kind of easy ball skills and big catch radius with Sam Darnold.

The Packers buck their trend eschewing first-round wide receivers for a unique talent in Luther Burden III. The injury concerns for Romeo Doubs (concussions) and Christian Watson (ACL) force their hand here. Burden is not only sure-handed, but also a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Green Bay could use both.

Emeka Egbuka is the kind of savvy route-runner who would be perfect for the Rams offense. While Les Snead has obviously been able to cobble together production from later-round picks, Egbuka would give Los Angeles an immediately formidable three-deep at the position.

The Commanders have done a good job smoothing out their holes via free agency and trades, so they can afford to take a big swing with this pick. The 4.29 40 running Matthew Golden is just that. He would give the Commanders two vertical threats to pair with Deebo Samuel holding things down underneath.

The Eagles are always forward thinking with their most important positions and this pick typifies that. Charles Grant isn’t going to be ready to block NFL edge-rushers Week 1 coming out of William & Mary. But give Grant’s freaky traits to offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland and you have Lane Johnson’s heir apparent at right tackle.
