    You never know until they get to the league. Draft for volume.

    1. Cleveland Browns (1-5) | Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
    2. New England Patriots (1-5) | Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado*
    3. Carolina Panthers (1-5) | Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State
    4. Las Vegas Raiders (via projected trade with 1-5 JAX) | Cam Ward, QB, Miami
    5. Tennessee Titans (1-4) | James Pearce Jr., Edge, Tennessee*
    6. Los Angeles Rams (1-4) | Will Johnson, CB, Michigan*
    7. Jacksonville Jaguars (via projected trade with 2-4 LV) | Will Campbell, OT/G, LSU*
    8. Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) | Mason Graham, DT, Michigan*
    9. New York Jets (2-4) | Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M*
    10. New York Giants (2-4) | Carson Beck, QB, Georgia*
    11. Miami Dolphins (via projected trade with 2-4 ARI) | Kelvin Banks Jr., OT/G, Texas*
    12. New Orleans Saints (2-4) | Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona*
    13. Arizona Cardinals (via projected trade with 2-3 MIA) | Mykel Williams, Edge, Georgia*
    14. Indianapolis Colts (via projected trade with 3-3 SEA) | Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
    15. Dallas Cowboys (3-3) | Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State*
    16. Denver Broncos (3-3) | Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri*
    17. Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) | Jalon Walker, Edge, Georgia*
    18. Chicago Bears (4-2) | Jonah Savaiinaea, OT/G, Arizona
    19. San Francisco 49ers (3-3) | Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M*
    20. Seattle Seahawks (via projected trade with 3-3 IND) | Cameron Williams, OT, Texas*
    21. Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) | Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky*
    22. Washington Commanders (4-2) | Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame*
    23. Buffalo Bills (4-2) | Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan*
    24. Green Bay Packers (4-2) | Tacario Davis, CB, Arizona*
    25. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) | Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas*
    26. Atlanta Falcons (4-2) | Landon Jackson, Edge, Arkansas
    27. Baltimore Ravens (4-2) | Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
    28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) | Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan*
    29. Detroit Lions (4-1) | Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State

    30. Houston Texans (5-1) | Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss*

    A true wrecking ball up the middle is one of the few missing ingredients for an elite football team in Houston. After two underwhelming seasons at Texas A&M, Nolen is having a breakout year in his first season at Ole Miss. He already has 2.5 sacks, 5 tackles for loss and 8 run stops. With aggressive hands and a sudden first step, he's consistently able to defeat single blocks at the first level.

    Team needs: DT, S, OL

    31. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) | Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State.
    32. Minnesota Vikings (5-0) | Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon*

    IOL and IDL should be high priorities. RB depth is also on the table.

    I would put IDL/CB/S as the biggest needs along with WR on offense if they dont bring Diggs back. If you're looking for an OG that probably would be best picked up in FA.

    Is it bad if I dont trust this regime to properly evaluate offensive linemen? I'd much rather just address those positions via proven vets. I'd use the early picks on LB/DT.

    If anything, I'll rather they pick OL in later rounds.

    Scruggs, Patterson, and Fisher have looked OK. Nick was just high AF when he picked Green.

    Yes, we know.

    So we pick Hamilton (which would have been great), so who gets picked in the other spots?

    Hamilton might have been good enough to prevent us from getting CJ.

    DT Nolan is a lazy guy with all the talent in the world.

    He's had exactly 2 good games this year, and 2 good games in the 2 years before it. We'll see.

    He's better. Pitre is definitely having redeeming season though

    That is an interesting multi-verse thought ....

    I was once working on re-picking (back to the supplemental draft) Texans players.... a lot of ceteris paribus would have to be involved

    Probably could so it with AI these days
