Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders is a lock, so what the team does later in the draft is more interesting than what it does at no. 1. But Las Vegas no longer has the no. 14 pick after Baltimore called take-backsies in the Maxx Crosby trade. The Raiders transformed their team in March, paying a true record price for center Tyler Linderbaum, re-signing cornerback Eric Stokes and trading for CB Taron Johnson, and reuniting Georgia linebackers Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean. The Raiders also signed defensive end Kwity Paye and (theoretically) will be keeping Crosby, so Vegas’s biggest remaining needs on defense are at nose tackle and free safety. And while Vegas is stacked at tight end (Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer) and used the 2025 no. 6 pick on RB Ashton Jeanty, it still needs a no. 1 WR who’s better than Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech, or Tre Tucker.

The 2025 Jets were the first NFL team to play 16 or more games in a season without a player reaching 400 receiving yards. The Jets were also the first team to go a full season without a player recording an interception (and that stat has been kept since 1933). No receiver in this draft is worthy of a top-five selection, so it seems preordained that the Jets will be taking a defensive disrupter with the no. 2 pick. New York also has Indy’s first-rounder (no. 16, which they got from the Colts in the Sauce Gardner deal) and two second-rounders (from Dallas in the Quinnen Williams trade). In March the Jets traded for Geno Smith, who’ll be their QB for the 2026 season (imagine telling a Jets fan that in 2014), but they need a receiver behind Garrett Wilson. The Jets could also go for Alabama QB Ty Simpson if he falls to Round 2.

After releasing Kyler Murray in March, Arizona seems content to play Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew in 2026 and find its long-term QB in 2027. The Cardinals could, however, draft a quarterback like Ty Simpson, Carson Beck, Garrett Nussmeier, or Drew Allar on day two—after all, Brissett is 33 years old. But the Cardinals will probably be prioritizing a right tackle opposite rock-solid left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., and they’re in luck: The top offensive tackle prospects in this year’s class, Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano, both played right tackle in college. The Cardinals could also consider taking hybrid defender Arvell Reese if he’s available, although they have a checkered history with hybrid defenders taken in the first round, like Isaiah Simmons, Haason Reddick, and Deone Bucannon.

Tennessee needs to be competitive this year, both to help quarterback Cam Ward develop and to sell season tickets for its new stadium, opening in 2027. New head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll have already brought in a half dozen of their former Jets and Giants players, headlined by Wan’Dale Robinson, who’ll be earning $19 million a year to (presumably) be a slot player. But even with Calvin Ridley returning and Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor showing promise, the Titans need another playmaker. That could be a receiver, but since running backs Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are both entering the final years of their contracts, Tennessee may take a hard look at Jeremiyah Love to be Daboll’s new Saquon Barkley. On defense, the Titans paid a premium this offseason for cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Cor’Dale Flott in the hopes of fixing their secondary, and they traded for Jets pass rusher Jermaine Johnson and signed defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers. The Titans could easily take an edge rusher like David Bailey or Rueben Bain Jr. to fill out Saleh’s aggressive defense, but Tennessee may choose to make an upgrade at running back in Round 1 and find an aggressive edge rusher for Saleh’s defense in Round 2.

New head coach John Harbaugh has said that he wants to build through the trenches. Barring a miraculous Evan Neal turnaround, the Giants need a better right guard. And with no third-rounder, they need to nail their first two picks. The Titans raided New York’s cabinet this offseason; former Giants head coach (and new Tennessee offensive coordinator) Brian Daboll signed Giants receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, tight end Daniel Bellinger, and cornerback Cor’Dale Flott. Cornerback is still a glaring need, even after the team brought in Greg Newsome II in March on a one-year deal. But perhaps, quietly, the biggest need in New York is at running back: Cam Skattebo is returning after a gnarly dislocated ankle, and he has just Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, and special teamers behind him. After Jeremiyah Love, there is a massive drop-off in running back talent in this draft. Just two years after they let Saquon Barkley go, don’t be shocked if the Giants take a running back with a top-five pick.

Top needs: OL, WR, QB

Where to begin? The Browns might have the worst quarterback, receiver, and offensive line group in the NFL. “Pro Bowl” QB Shedeur Sanders will compete for the starting job with $46 million man Deshaun Watson (who is coming off multiple Achilles tears). The offensive line is the messiest in the league, with spare parts who were cast off from the other worst lines in the NFL (former Chargers left guard Zion Johnson, former Texans right tackle Tytus Howard, and former Bears right guard Teven Jenkins all seem set to start). Raw left tackle Dawand Jones is returning after an LCL tear and a hamstring that tore off the bone. The receiving group is “led” by Jerry Jeudy. The only bright spots on this team are tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and the Browns running back duo of Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson—although Judkins broke his leg last year. This is a bad team even by Browns standards. With an extra first (no. 24) from the Travis Hunter trade, the Browns need to create a real offensive infrastructure.

Washington needs to get Jayden Daniels a receiver. Terry McLaurin is a fine no. 1, but the depth chart behind him—Luke McCaffrey, Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown, Van Jefferson, and Jaylin Lane—is unserious. This offseason Washington signed tight end Chig Okonkwo, whose modest eight career touchdowns are more than what the other four tight ends on the roster have combined (seven). It wouldn’t be surprising if Washington takes a playmaker here—RB Jeremiyah Love or WR Carnell Tate. But the Commanders also still need help in the front seven. Washington signed pass rushers Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson, defensive tackle Tim Settle, and hybrid linebacker Leo Chenal in free agency, which was only a start; it would be a dream if a quality pass rusher falls to the Commanders. But then there’s the siren song of Ohio State’s Sonny Styles, who could replace Bobby Wagner as the heart of the defense. Washington doesn’t have a second-rounder after it traded that pick for left tackle Laremy Tunsil last year, so its best bet to improve its front seven is in Round 1.

Top needs: WR, CB, LB

The Saints need a no. 2 receiver on offense and then a lot on defense. The Saints signed running back Travis Etienne and left guard David Edwards in free agency, completing New Orleans’s massive investment in its offense—which also includes homegrown first-rounders at left tackle (Kelvin Banks Jr.), right tackle (Taliese Fuaga), right guard (Cesar Ruiz), and receiver (Chris Olave), who surround surprisingly competent second-year QB Tyler Shough. The only glaring hole left on this offense is at receiver; the depth chart behind Olave is just made up of journeymen. On defense, New Orleans lost cornerback Alontae Taylor in free agency, and the Saints will definitely need to replace that slot/overhang position. Demario Davis’s departure at linebacker will be bandaged over by bringing back 30-year-old Kaden Elliss, but the Saints still need a long-term replacement. And whether or not 36-year-old team legend Cam Jordan returns, the Saints need more pass rushers behind Chase Young and the 29-year-old Carl Granderson.

It’s weird seeing the Chiefs with a top-10 pick. Kansas City has three picks in the top 40 after Patrick Mahomes’s torn ACL–hampered six-win season. In March, the Chiefs sent cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Rams for four picks, including L.A.’s selection at no. 29. In addition to McDuffie, Chiefs cornerbacks Jaylen Watson and Joshua Williams, safety Bryan Cook, and linebacker Leo Chenal all left in free agency. Expect Kansas City to take a crack at rebuilding its secondary; under Andy Reid, the team has grabbed viable cornerbacks in seemingly every round of the draft. The Chiefs claim that they are content to put Jaylon Moore on the right side (after releasing Jawaan “The Belt Line” Taylor). But protecting Mahomes should be a big priority after his torn ACL. Kansas City’s money went to Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker III in free agency, so this Chiefs draft may skew heavily toward defense.

The Bengals had the worst of both worlds last year, as they could neither keep Joe Burrow healthy (he missed half the season) nor stop anyone when they were on defense (they allowed an NFL-worst 147 rushing yards per game). Cincinnati’s fantasy-esque offense is locked in on Burrow, receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and running back Chase Brown. The team has solid tackles in Orlando Brown Jr. and Amarius Mims, and it brought back Dalton Risner to play at right guard opposite second-year player Dylan Fairchild. On defense, the Bengals desperately need a linebacker for defensive coordinator Al Golden, preferably a hybrid who can also line up as a defensive lineman after Demetrius Knight Jr. was miscast in that role last year. But Cincinnati may prefer a veteran for that job. While Cincy addressed safety by signing Kansas City’s Bryan Cook, the Bengals also need a slot cornerback between boundary cornerbacks Dax Hill and DJ Turner. They signed Seattle’s Boye Mafe to replace the Baltimore-bound pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, but Cincinnati could use defensive help nearly everywhere.

Miami used a sixth of its budget—more than $50 million this year—to tell Tua Tagovailoa to take a hike. Then the Dolphins turned around and signed Packers quarterback Malik Willis, who has had 70 completions in the past two seasons, to a $67.5 million contract. Just for fun, Miami also traded Jaylen Waddle away to Denver, making it clear that the Dolphins are in full-on rebuilding mode but also trying Willis out at QB. None of it makes sense, but now Miami has two first-rounders and four third-rounders to continue its rebuild. The Dolphins’ current WR room is completely untenable—no offense to Theo Wease Jr.—but the Miami brain trust came from the Packers, so they might fill out the trenches before addressing the receiver spot. Common sense says that Miami should go O-line or D-line with one (or both) of its first-rounders, then grab receivers with two of its five picks across Rounds 2 and 3.

Dallas has two first-rounders in this year’s draft after trading Micah Parsons to the Packers, and shockingly, it now needs a pass rusher. It added edge rusher Rashan Gary (in addition to defensive tackle Kenny Clark) from Green Bay, but second-year edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku had hip surgery this offseason, further diminishing the team’s D-line depth. DeMarvion Overshown follows in the lineage of Sean Lee and Leighton Vander Esch as a supremely talented Dallas inside linebacker who cannot be counted on to stay healthy. The lack of depth behind Overshown at linebacker is concerning, and it would be smart to target that position in Round 2. Cornerback is a mess. CB Daron Bland has had two foot surgeries in two years. Shavon Revel Jr. missed more than half of his rookie year after a setback from an ACL repair. In March the Cowboys added Rams CB Cobie Durant, a castoff from one of the worst CB groups in the NFL. The supreme talent of Dallas’s offense might be underrated, but the defense, as usual, needs help across the board.

The Rams host the Super Bowl this season, and L.A. is all in to win the championship on its home turf for the second time in six years. L.A. filled its biggest hole at cornerback by trading its own first-rounder and change for Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie, then signing fellow Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson in free agency. Its biggest remaining need may be at receiver, where a rookie could play in three-receiver sets in 2026 and then replace 34-year-old Davante Adams in 2027. L.A. could also look at taking a right tackle if it wants to get an upgrade from (surprisingly solid) 2023 fifth-rounder Warren McClendon Jr. But let’s be real—the Rams will probably trade the no. 13 pick for a flashy veteran like A.J. Brown or Maxx Crosby.

Baltimore has its first-rounder again after the controversial reversal of the Maxx Crosby trade with the Raiders. It followed that up by signing Cincinnati pass rusher Trey Hendrickson. Even with Hendrickson on board, the Ravens still need edge rushers who can, you know, set the edge in the run game, and they should bulk up their defensive tackle depth, too. On offense, the Ravens could use a center after the Raiders signed Tyler Linderbaum. Baltimore signed John Simpson to replace right guard Daniele Faalele, but making an upgrade from Andrew Vorhees at left guard is still in order. And there are only two tight ends on the roster after Isaiah Likely left for Baltimore North (the Giants) and Charlie Kolar left for Baltimore West (the Chargers).

Top needs: Edge, LB, TE

This offseason, Tampa lost linebacker Lavonte David, its best defender in 20 years, as well as receiver Mike Evans, the best offensive playmaker in team history. Neither will be easily replaced. With head coach Todd Bowles on the hot seat, Tampa Bay will desperately need front seven help to aid its pass rush, which struggles to get pressure without blitzing. Getting an inside linebacker to replace David would certainly help, too. The Bucs will most likely use more tight ends under offensive coordinator Zac Robinson this year, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them add one in the middle rounds of the draft. In general, the Bucs will probably be looking for win-now players instead of developmental projects.

The Lions have just one offensive lineman left from their dominant 2024 season—right tackle Penei Sewell—and they might move Sewell to left tackle after releasing longtime starter Taylor Decker. Offensive line is central to Detroit’s identity. Left, right, whatever, the Lions need a tone-setter at tackle. Elsewhere, Detroit’s defensive needs are the same as they’ve always been under Dan Campbell: They should be looking for defensive ends to play with Aidan Hutchinson and cornerback depth. Edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad parlayed a breakout year into a deal with Tampa Bay this offseason, and Detroit’s cornerback room was mangled last year. But don’t be shocked if Detroit trades up in Round 1 to get the tackle of its choosing.

Top needs: DB, OL, WR

The Vikings signed Kyler Murray this offseason for one-third of 1 percent of the team’s budget, giving them a path back to winning in the competitive NFC North. Minnesota’s biggest need now is at safety; longtime stalwart Harrison Smith is 37 and may soon retire. Center Ryan Kelly already did. The draft is much deeper at safety than center, and it would be surprising if the Vikings don’t grab a safety in the first few rounds. A no. 3 receiver is also on the menu after Jalen Nailor left in free agency. Top running backs Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are both entering contract years, so taking a rusher would make sense in the fourth round or later. And there are rumors that the Vikings may trade edge rusher Jonathan Greenard for more draft picks (in the range of the second or third round), which would change their defensive needs.

Carolina could improve at many spots but has been diligent enough in free agency that there are no glaring holes. Safety is likely the Panthers’ biggest need, but they may need to leapfrog over Minnesota to get one in Round 1. They still need a pass rusher even after signing defensive end Jaelan Phillips to a monster deal, as they’ll need to affect the QB more to take the leap from nearly beating the Rams in the wild-card round to being a serious NFC team. Signing Devin Lloyd helped their moribund linebacker group, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement in that unit. And if Xavier Legette doesn’t show improvement, Carolina may need to replace him to find a no. 3 WR behind Tetairoa McMillan and emerging starter Jalen Coker.

Top needs: QB, OL, WR

Mike Tomlin has been replaced by Mike McCarthy—who is a decade older than Tomlin—and the Steelers’ only QBs are 30-year-old Mason Rudolph and sixth-rounder Will Howard. Even if Aaron Rodgers returns, he is 42. Pittsburgh needs a QB. Trading for receiver Michael Pittman this offseason to pair with DK Metcalf made sense, although the Steelers also need another receiver (or two, if Rodgers never lets Roman Wilson out of exile). There’s a hole at left guard now that Isaac Seumalo is going to Arizona. Left tackle is a chasm as long as Broderick Jones is there (you remember Broderick Jones). Fans want a receiver. A left tackle (or a QB!) makes more sense.

Top needs: OL, DL, CB

Justin Herbert got absolutely clobbered last season, taking more hits than any other QB in the NFL. Our expert analysis: Don’t let that happen again. Los Angeles wisely scooped up center Tyler Biadasz from Washington in March, but putting Trevor Penning at left guard and Cole Strange at right guard is a sign of optimism, not strategy. On offense, Los Angeles has everything you could want in a title contender except what you’d expect from a Jim Harbaugh team: beef. The entire defensive line and secondary lack the depth you want from a team with Super Bowl aspirations, especially after edge rusher Odafe Oweh, DT Da’Shawn Hand, and CB Benjamin St. Juste left in free agency. L.A. has signed five offensive players in free agency, suggesting that this will be a defense-heavy draft. But since the Chargers have just five picks this year, the safest bet is probably that they’ll trade back. 

Top needs: OT, Edge, WR

The Eagles made it to multiple recent Super Bowls in large part because of their outstanding depth at offensive tackle and defensive end, which has since withered. Right tackle Lane Johnson may retire after this season. Defensive end Brandon Graham may retire for a second time. Don’t be surprised if the Eagles trade up or trade back in search of a solution at either spot. Philly has made a habit of drafting players to replace starters a year ahead of time (like Cam Jurgens, who eventually replaced center Jason Kelce). Defensive end Jaelan Phillips has left for Carolina, making the defensive end situation pressing. But losing offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland makes their O-line needs more urgent. And don’t be surprised if the Eagles look for a long-term replacement for A.J. Brown, too.

Chicago is a Super Bowl contender, but its defensive front seven simply isn’t Super Bowl–caliber. Chicago needs a plus pass rusher opposite Montez Sweat, and perhaps multiple rotational pieces, too. The Bears led the NFL in interceptions last year (23), but the secondary got an overhaul, losing defensive backs Jaquan Brisker, Nahshon Wright, and Kevin Byard. Even after signing Seattle’s Coby Bryant and Buffalo’s Cam Lewis, safety is still a big hole. The Bears have an extra second-rounder after dealing DJ Moore to the Bills, and likely need to hit these spots in the first few rounds. Chicago traded for New England center Garrett Bradbury after the surprising retirement of Drew Dalman, but Bradbury is on a one-year deal, so a long-term solution at center would help too.

Top needs: Edge, LB, WR

Buffalo succumbed to the noise and traded its second-rounder to the Bears for receiver DJ Moore, filling its biggest need by adding a wideout who can beat man coverage. But the Bills still need front-seven help. Adding a young edge rusher is paramount. Buffalo has spent years trying to rely on past-their-prime, injury-prone stars to be “closers” in the playoffs (Von Miller, Joey Bosa, Bradley Chubb), but it hasn’t worked. Buffalo needs a legitimate pass rusher. Linebacker is also going to be important, with new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard’s defense replacing the one run by former head coach Sean McDermott.

The 49ers might want to think a year ahead about replenishing talent at certain positions. Left tackle Trent Williams will turn 38 in July and is haggling with the team over money. Center Jake Brendel will be 34 and in the final year of his deal. Tight end George Kittle is 32 and just tore his Achilles. The 49ers just signed 32-year-old Mike Evans from the Bucs and 29-year-old Christian Kirk from Houston. San Francisco may have more acute needs for 2026 at safety or left guard, but there are plenty of positions the 49ers are going to have to upgrade sooner rather than later.

Top needs: OL, DT, CB

Houston doesn’t need much to be able to win a Super Bowl. The Texans defense is the best in the AFC, and they solved their biggest hole by upgrading C.J. Gardner-Johnson to Reed Blankenship in free agency. Houston’s biggest need is reinforcing the offensive line so that C.J. Stroud never looks as frazzled as he did in the playoffs ever again. The Texans signed Colts offensive lineman Braden Smith in free agency, and he could start at right tackle or at guard, depending how the draft shakes out. Houston getting a punishing guard and/or a defensive tackle to replace Tim Settle Jr., could be the difference in its Super Bowl chances. This is the rare team that has almost everything, but the interior on both lines badly needs to be bolstered.

New England came so close, and yet feels so far. The Patriots offensive line was finally exposed in the Super Bowl, and it’s hard to pick which spot needs the most help around Drake Maye after the Patriots were rocked by Seattle. Right tackle Morgan Moses is 35 and simply must be replaced by the beginning of 2027. Picking a tackle to develop in order to take over next year would be smart. New England has no youth at edge rusher, with Harold Landry and Dre’Mont Jones both 29 years old. The Patriots have other holes they could fill, but the trenches are far and away most important for this team.

Top needs: DB, Edge, RB

Fun’s over, back to work. Seattle retained its entire offensive line and receiving corps from its Super Bowl championship, but lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, edge rusher Boye Mafe, cornerback Tariq Woolen, and defensive back Coby Bryant. Seattle needs to replace all of them. Running back is the most glaring need. Zach Charbonnet may not return from his torn ACL until after Thanksgiving and is in the final year of his contract. But the Seahawks seem more likely to target defensive backs and edge rushers in a deep class at corner, safety, and pass rusher. Don’t be surprised if the Seahawks eschew running back and target freaky athletes who play fast and physical. Considering Seattle has only four picks in this draft, don’t be surprised if Seattle trades out of the last pick in the first round to accrue more selections.

Top needs: LB, Edge, WR

The Colts traded this year’s and next year’s first-rounders to the Jets for cornerback Sauce Gardner, so they don’t pick until the second round. That will make it harder for them to beef up their front seven, their biggest priority. Defensive end Kwity Paye, Indy’s former first-rounder, signed with the Raiders in free agency, and inside linebacker Zaire Franklin was traded to Green Bay. The Colts could use reinforcements at both spots. Indy may be looking to replay the magic of finding former Defensive Rookie of the Year Shaq Leonard in Round 2. And you can never rule out the possibility that GM Chris Ballard will want a big-bodied, speed-size combo to replace Michael Pittman.

Top needs: DT, LB, WR

The Falcons traded their 2026 first-rounder to move up in the 2025 draft and take pass rusher James Pearce Jr. In February, Pearce was arrested on multiple felony charges. The Falcons have a new head coach in Kevin Stefanski but the same defensive coordinator in Jeff Ulbrich, and Atlanta again faces problems on that side of the ball: the pass rush finally improved, but the run defense struggled. A beefy defensive tackle would help fill the void left by David Onyemata signing with the Jets, and linebacker help is essential after Kaden Elliss left in free agency, signing with the division rival Saints. And with Darnell Mooney gone, Atlanta needs a better option for a no. 2 receiver than Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus.

Top needs: Edge, OL, CB

Believe it or not, Green Bay’s biggest need might be at edge rusher. That sounds wrong since the Packers traded this year’s and next year’s first-rounders to Dallas for Micah Parsons. But he may not be 100 percent healthy by Week 1, and the Packers traded Rashan Gary to Dallas this offseason (yes, in a separate trade) and lost Kingsley Enagbare in free agency. Overall, Green Bay’s depth has taken a hit. Eight free agents left the Packers this offseason, the most of any team; they lost backup QB Malik Willis, starting WR Romeo Doubs, and former left tackle Rasheed Walker, among others. Green Bay has former first-rounders who can fill Walker’s spot at LT (Jordan Morgan) and Doubs’s at WR (Matthew Golden), but it’s still thin at cornerback and offensive line. The Packers don’t pick until no. 52, but don’t be surprised if they trade back to recoup picks.

Top needs: DT, LB, CB

Jacksonville sent its first-rounder to Cleveland to move up for Travis Hunter last year, but the Jaguars still have 11 picks in this draft, including three picks in Round 3. The Jags need those picks after they signed just one external free agent this offseason despite being a Super Bowl contender. That one free agent was running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., who’s an underwhelming replacement for Travis Etienne. The lightning-quick Bhayshul Tuten is primed to take over the backfield (alongside pass catching specialist LeQuint Allen), but a between-the-tackles, thumping running back would still be welcome. On defense, linebacker is a big hole after the team lost Devin Lloyd in free agency, and a defensive tackle with some pass rushing ability would go a long way.

The Broncos are just running it back, making no remarkable moves other than trading their first-rounder for Jaylen Waddle. There is a thin line between confidence and hubris, but Sean Payton seems content to bring back the same team. The exception might be at running back, where the Broncos seemed to want an upgrade over J.K. Dobbins but could not land Travis Etienne. Adding a running back to pair with RJ Harvey would fit Payton’s history. Linebacker is also a need because the Broncos cut Dre Greenlaw just one year after signing him from the 49ers, and Alex Singleton was diagnosed with testicular cancer during the season. And a tight end depth chart of Evan Engram and Adam Trautman should have the team screaming for an upgrade.
