  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 12 — Bo Nix

  • Draft Grade: F

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 64

  • School: Oregon

  • Height: 6′ 2″

  • Weight: 217

  Quarterback thirst has officially gone too far. There’s simply no need for the Broncos to force this pick here. Bo Nix does not have the profile of the quarterback that’s going to save Denver. Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham will battle it out this summer for the right to be the starter, but Nix is closer to being a backup in the NFL than a franchise starter.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 11 — Olu Fashanu

  • Draft Grade: A-

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 6

  • School: Penn St.

  • Height: 6′ 6″

  • Weight: 312

  Fashanu is an extremely talented, high-upside prospect that gets to come into a situation where he gets to work with Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses. When healthy, Fashanu is clearly one of the most talented players in the draft and has a chance to be a fixture on the offensive line in New York for years to come.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 10 — J.J. McCarthy

  • Draft Grade: B+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 29

  • School: Michigan

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 202

  Getting the quarterback without having to move up too far in the draft is a solid result for the Vikings. It may not be the quarterback they originally wanted, but it’s still a solid prospect to build around and he’s walking into a great situation.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 9 — Rome Odunze

  • Draft Grade: A+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 5

  • School: Washington

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 212

  The Bears couldn’t have dreamed of a better first round. Caleb Williams. Rome Odunze. Now they have a three-headed monster at wide receiver with the long-term potential of Williams, Odunze and DJ Moore.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 8 — Michael Penix Jr.

  • Draft Grade: F

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 70

  • School: Washington

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 213

  First F of the day! What is going on in Atlanta? This pick makes absolutely no sense. The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins and are now drafting a six-year college starter to sit behind him for two years? What sense does that make? Penix isn’t the cleanest prospect and he has injury concerns. We’ll find out what this looks like when he sees the field in 2026 or 2027.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 7 — JC Latham

  • Draft Grade: A

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 9

  • School: Alabama

  • Height: 6′ 6″

  • Weight: 342

  The Titans needed a tackle and got someone who profiles as a top-flight right tackle in the NFL for a long time. Bullyball is back in Tennessee for the next decade.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 6 — Malik Nabers

  • Draft Grade: B+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 8

  • School: LSU

  • Height: 6′ 0″

  • Weight: 200

  The Giants really needed to go quarterback here, but they weren’t in love with the options on the board. Still, the Giants had a massive need at wide receiver as well and got the biggest playmaker at that spot in the draft. Malik Nabers can grow in to a true No. 1 wideout with blazing speed while they play out this season with Daniel Jones at quarterback.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 5 — Joe Alt

  • Draft Grade: A+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 7

  • School: Notre Dame

  • Height: 6′ 7″

  • Weight: 321

  It’s not the sexy pick, but it’s a pick thats going to make the Chargers better immediately and in the long term. Even though they needed wide receiver help, they also needed help at tackle and got a 10-year, Pro Bowl level starter in Joe Alt.

  Expert Commentary: Pick No. 4 — Marvin Harrison Jr.

  • Draft Grade: A+

  • Pre-Draft Rank: 3

  • School: Ohio St.

  • Height: 6′ 3″

  • Weight: 209

  The Cardinals needed a receiver and they got one with Pro Bowl potential as a rookie. Marvin Harrison Jr. is as clean a prospect as they come and did not see a drop in production going from C.J. Stroud to Kyle McCord. This also creates depth for the rest of Arizona’s roster, allowing Michael Wilson to be featured as a No. 2 wide receiver. Kyler Murray should be rejoicing right now.

  Like father, like son, as Marvin Harrison Sr. and Jr. are the first father-son duo in NFL history to share this distinct honor:
