7. Tennessee Titans: Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State
Fashanu is one of two extremely well-regarded tackles in this draft class, as his pass protection was nothing short of impeccable. Keeping Will Levis upright should be the top priority for Tennessee. Fashanu and Peter Skoronski could lock down the left side of the line.
8. Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
The Falcons have their offensive skill position stars already locked in, making them a prime "best player available" candidate. Turner could be the best defensive player in this draft, as his speed-to-power and motor can make him a double-digit sack machine if he clicks well.
9. Chicago Bears: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Chicago could give Maye a left tackle, but the idea of pairing Odunze and D.J. Moore would set their new top pick up for success. Odunze has the strongest hands in this class, all while flexing his deep-threat muscles in a vertical offense at Washington that got the most of him.
NFL Mock Draft: Joe Alt could help the NY Jets
10. New York Jets: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
The Jets need to add multiple offensive linemen this offseason, and it seems like a foregone conclusion they will add some in the draft. The 6-foot-8 Alt projects as a rock-solid pass protector that could represent a serious upgrade over the underperforming Mekhi Becton in 2024.
11. Minnesota Vikings: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
The Vikings could add a quarterback, but the idea of a Kirk Cousins return or another veteran quarterback has serious appeal. Latu could be a nice Plan B for Minnesota, as adding a Danielle Hunter replacement to Brian Flores' defense will keep as fearsome as ever.
12. Denver Broncos: Michael Penix Jr, QB, Washington
Sean Payton wants nothing to do with Russell Wilson, meaning it is time for him to pick his guy. Penix is old and has some serious health concerns, but his soft touch on deep throws and surprisingly solid arm talent could help Denver break cleanly and start a rebuild around him.
