Bryce Young QB, BAMA

Height: 5-10, Weight: 194

He is the best pure passer in this draft, but I am worried about his size. It’s a strange move to move up to take a guy this small by giving up so much to do it. But he has talent, if he holds up. He’s is an outlier we’ve never seen. (Pete Prisco)

C.J. Stroud QB, OHIOST

Height: 6-3, Weight: 215

They had to take the shot at the quarterback, so it’s the smart thing to do. I would have taken Will Levis, but I get it. Stroud has the ability to become a good starting quarterback. (Pete Prisco)

Will Anderson Jr. EDGE, BAMA

They gave up a ton to get him. He better be Von Miller. I don’t think he is that. He’s a good player, but is he dynamic? No. He doesn’t seem like a great fit in their scheme. (Pete Prisco)

Anthony Richardson QB, FLA

Height: 6-4, Weight: 232

This should have been Will Levis. I like Richardson, but he will take time. His ceiling is amazing, but the Colts need to be patient with him. This is a boom or bust pick. (Pete Prisco)

Devon Witherspoon CB, ILL

Height: 6-0, Weight: 180

He’s a good player, but he is a smallish corner who throws his body around. Will he hold up? Seattle usually likes taller corners, which makes this somewhat of a surprise. (Pete Prisco)

Paris Johnson Jr. OT, OHIOST

Height: 6-6, Weight: 310

He’s the best tackle in this class, but is he elite? Plus where do they play him? They have a left tackle in D.J. Humphries, so maybe he plays right tackle or inside at guard. Good player. (Pete Prisco)

Tyree Wilson EDGE, TXTECH

Height: 6-6, Weight: 275

I love this pick, one of the best of the day. If Wilson’s injured foot checks out, which it certainly has for the Raiders, he’s going to be a big-time end in their defense to go with Maxx Crosby for a long time. He has all the traits you want in an edge rusher. (Pete Prisco)

Bijan Robinson RB, TEXAS

Height: 6-0, Weight: 220

This is way too high for a back, even if he’s a really good player. Backs don’t decide Super Bowls. I know Arthur Smith loves backs, but this is a deep draft of backs and history isn’t kind to this type of move. I don’t like it because of position value. Good player, bad position. (Pete Prisco)

Jalen Carter DL, UGA

Height: 6-3, Weight: 310

The Eagles move up one spot and give up little to get a guy I think is the best player in this draft. Yes, he has some off-field issues, but this is a great spot for him. Howie Roseman wins again. (Pete Prisco)

Darnell Wright OT, TENN

Height: 6-6, Weight: 335

He’s a violent player who fills a major need at right tackle. They have to protect better in front of Justin Fields and he will help that. Wright shut down Will Anderson, which was impressive to watch. (Pete Prisco)

Peter Skoronski OT, NWEST

Height: 6-4, Weight: 315

The Titans need a ton of help on their offensive line. Skoronski is a physical tough guy who will help up front. He’s a Mike Vrabel type of player. He played tackle in college, but I think he might end up as an All-Pro guard. (Pete Prisco)

Jahmyr Gibbs RB, BAMA

Height: 5-11, Weight: 200

Yes, he’s an air back. Yes, he can do a lot of things. But, again, why take him here when there is a guy like corner Christian Gonzalez on the board? He’s good but he’s a back. At least it wasn’t a top-10 pick.

Lukas Van Ness EDGE, IOWA

This is a player with a lot of potential, but he didn’t play up to it at Iowa. He’s an effort player who has the tools to get better on the next level. Some think he will be like J.J. Watt from that standpoint, better in the NFL. Time will tell. (Pete Prisco)

He is a long, athletic tackle who will get bigger and stronger on the next level. He can move for a man his size. The Steelers had to upgrade their tackle spot, so this move to get up made sense. Jones might have the most upside of any offensive lineman in this class. (Pete Prisco)

Emmanuel Forbes CB, MISSST

Height: 6-0, Weight: 180

I love this kid. He has good length, but he is lean at 170 pounds. Even so, he will throw his body around. But you draft him because he’s an elite cover player who fills an immediate need. He is going to upgrade an already good defense. (Pete Prisco)

They need help inside and Kancey has the tools to be an up-the-field, attacking defensive tackle. But he isn’t big and he can get overwhelmed at the point. But he has Vita Vea next to him for that, so I get it. (Pete Prisco)

Quentin Johnston WR, TCU

Height: 6-4, Weight: 215

They needed to get a young receiver, but I think Jordan Addison would have been a better pick. Johnson is a big receiver, but he has issues catching the football at times. I get the pick with Justin Herbert and age creeping in, but I think there were better options and maybe better positions to take. (Pete Prisco)

They traded down and still landed a tackle they probably would have taken at No. 24. That’s good drafting. Harrison can come in and play left tackle or right tackle, depending on where they play Walker Little with Cam Robinson out serving a suspension. (Pete Prisco)

Myles Murphy EDGE, CLEM

There is great value in getting Murphy in this spot. If they want to win a Super Bowl, they have to beat the great quarterbacks in the AFC. That means pressure. Murphy joins a good group and gives them fresh legs. (Pete Prisco)

Summary on Desjuan Johnson:

"Desjuan Johnson is an undersized interior defender who makes up for it with a quick first step and good grip strength. He can do a better job of stacking and shedding blockers in the run games. Johnson had a 17.2% missed tackle rate in 2022."

Summary on Alex Forsyth:

"Alex Forsyth is an interior offensive lineman with good size and active eyes. He plays with good leverage and has good upper body strength to drive defenders off the ball. The lineman is a power/gap scheme specific blocker who needs to do a better job of adjusting his hands and feet once engaged. He does not have ideal top-end speed but does a good job of keeping his hands inside the pads."

Summary on Grant Dubose:

"Grant DuBose is a big body, well proportioned and gets off line of scrimmage with some juice. He snatches the ball out of the air and is really good in space; he can make defenders miss in small areas. He's more of a WR/TE hybrid, and maybe that's his role going forward."
