18 VIKINGS DILLON THIENEMAN S Oregon 6’0/200
19 PANTHERS KELDRIC FAULK DE Auburn 6’6/275
20 COWBOYS EMMANUEL McNEIL-WARREN S Toledo 6’3/201
21 STEELERS KAYDEN McDONALD DT Ohio St 6’2/325
22 CHARGERS ZION YOUNG DE/ER Missouri 6’6/262
23 EAGLES MAX IHEANACHOR OT Arizona St 6’6/320
24 BROWNS CALEB LOMU OT Utah 6’6/313
25 BEARS OMAR COOPER WR Indiana 6’0/199
26 BILLS CJ ALLEN LB Georgia 6’1/230
27 49ers JORDAN TYSON WR Arizona St 6’2/205
28 TEXANS CHASE BISONTIS IOL Texas A&M 6’5/315
29 CHIEFS CALEB BANKS DT Florida 6’6/327
30 DOLPHINS AKHEEM MESIDOR ER/DE Miami (F) 6’3/259
31 PATRIOTS TJ PARKER DE/ER Clemson 6’4/263
32 SEAHAWKS BRANDON CISSE CB South Carolina 6’0/190
I am not projecting a second QB in this Draft for Round One. But I do think there may be action early Friday for someone to move up to grab the first Pick of Day Two, at Pick 33, to grab Ty Simpson/Alabama.
I would expect 3-4 1st-Round trades, but many more given the reality that more teams would like to move back than move up this year.
I think my projection of 5 Buckeyes in Round One is solid, with no other school even close to them.
