Team needs in no particular order

Safety

D. Tackle

O. Tackle

Wide Receiver

General OL Depth

Some of these are realistic, others are improbable and a couple may even be reaches. I tried to stick with guys I thought might be available that were positions of need.

1st Jonathan Hankins DT, Taylor Lewan, OT, Eric Fisher OT

2nd Eric Reid, S, Lane Johnson OT, Deandre Hopkins, WR

4th Brian Winters, OT, Shaun Williams, S, Rick Wagner, OT, Xavier Nixon, OT

5th Shamarko Thomas, SS, Tavares King, WR, Omeregie Uzzie, OG,

6th Ried Fragel, OT, Earl Wolff, SS, Alec Lemon, WR

Let me know your thoughts

Id rather not take a NT that high unless they are all world. Not hard to find people to take up blockers and defend against the run. Not to mention the bust rate and time to develop.

Would prefer OL and skill guys in the first. We need immediate help / upgrades at alot of positions.

Rivera said in a recent interview that he feels that we need to continue to help Cam develop by drafting either Oline help or weapons on offense in the first 2 rounds. So one of the first 2 picks will be either a WR or Oline. I love both Hankins and Reid, but there is little chance that we take defense with both picks.

I think it's more realistic if we take a WR with our top pick.. like Keenan Allen then in the 2nd, Reid from LSU or Jefferson from OU. Brandon Beane was seen scouting players at the LSU vs Clemson, bowl game. My guess was he was scouting Reid.

Agree with everything

Hankins is pretty worth it to take at 14. I'm not even sure if he'll fall to there. We'd be glad if he's there and be bless to have him. And I'm not sure why some people are constantly believing that we can just plug big a fat man at DT (Fua, McClain etc etc etc). It's been 5 years since Jenkins left that we finally found two fat men that can give us consistency.

It's much easier to fill guys at OL than at DT.

Difference between rookies and vets. Edwards was more than serviceable and helped our dline / defense alot and he isnt anything special.

OG maybe, but its harder to fill OT than DT.

If we plan to boost the OL it better be Warmack at RG. Franchise OT comes out the draft "every single year". DT is much harder to find in the draft and to just find guys off the street to plug. And you already know a stud like Matthews will be coming out next year.

"OT is not harder to fill than DT".

With Mathews staying in school, there wont be any OT worth taking at 14. I see the top 3 OT going before we pick.

Franchise OT do come out every year, only problem is hopefully we wont be in position to be drafting them. At most there is only 3-4 elite OTs in a draft and they get picked in the 1-15 range.

14th is too high for an OG.

Allen or Patterson will prob be the pick. With a chance of Hankins or Richardson.

I love Patterson but I gurantee no way in hell Patterson be the pick at 14 unless he kill it at his pro day and combine.

I don't see Fisher being gone by 14. The only OT I'm guaranteeing that make the top10 is Joeckel. This week people wanna fantasize and somehow went full mode on Fisher for whatever reason but the kid aint going before 14 possibly even 20. A lot of people doesn't even knoe who Fisher was or have seen him play a snap until a thread came up talking about him.

At 14 if we stay and doesn't trade up or down, Allen, Hankins, Richardson and Warmack, or a CB all make sense there.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
