Formatting this pick by pick on proboards will take forever so we'll just group picks by fours and give a little explanation...
1 MIN RB Breece Hall
2 SEA WR Drake London
3 LAR WR Jameson Williams
4 MIA WR Garrett Wilson
Breece Hall should be locked in at #1 // Seattle paid up for #2 and will get their choice of the top WR off the board // The Rams could possibly go RB, but a WR makes more sense with Davante Adams as the only real starter at the position // Miami has luxury of going either RB or WR, but WR seems to be a better fit (especially if Walker goes off the board before this pick)
5 MIN RB Kenneth Walker
6 DET WR Treylon Burks
7 KC WR Chris Olave
8 ARI WR Skyy Moore
Vikings go BPA at #5, if Walker falls then Vikings grab top 2 RBs in the draft // Detroit is first team on #QBWatch at #6, but the value at WR is much better than Pickett (or another QB) at this point for the Lions // Chiefs also could go QB, but with two later firsts it doesn't make sense to reach for one here // Cardinals could go either RB or WR, but Moore looks like a safer bet to be taken by Arizona than one of the other RBs
9 ATL QB Kenny Pickett
10 PHI RB James Cook
11 WAS RB Rachaad White
12 CAR WR Christian Watson
With no other early round selections, a gamble by Atlanta on Pickett at #9 makes sense for a team that's a starting QB away from playoff contention // Eagles biggest need is RB after the miss on Trey Sermon in 2021, Cook should provide McCaffrey insurance if he gets traded as well // Commanders should probably trade down again, but a long term option at RB is a need for Washington // Panthers miss out on top RBs, but Watson should provide upside for Carolina's WR2 spot
13 TB WR George Pickens
14 LAC WR Jahan Dotson
15 NYG LB Devin Lloyd
16 NYG DE Aidan Hutchinson
Pickens feels like a nice fit for Tampa Bay, who desperately needs controllable contracts at WR // Chargers also on #QBWatch, but multiple other round one picks don't make it necessary to grab one here // Giants are #BustingForBijan and fall in a perfect spot to grab the top two IDPs off the board
17 LV S Kyle Hamilton
18 NYJ RB Isaiah Spiller
19 NYG RB Dameon Pierce
20 SF WR John Metchie
Raiders really just need defense and Hamilton gives them the top safety in the class // Jets could go a lot of directions with this pick, but Spiller feels like a good fit for a team that could either push for a playoff spot or head in to a rebuild // Giants are a wildcard, but there is very little upside in their RB room after trading away Swift // 49ers should be taking RB or WR, whatever falls to them at this pick
21 LAC QB Malik Willis
22 KC QB Desmond Ridder
23 MIN LB Nakobe Dean
24 SEA WR Jalen Tolbert
Chargers & Chiefs stay patient and are rewarded with the 2nd & 3rd QBs off the board // Vikings another BPA pick, they grab one of the top LBs in the class // Seahawks double down at the WR position, pairing Tolbert with London at by far their weakest position
25 MIN DE Kayvon Thibodeaux
26 LAC WR David Bell
27 GB WR Alec Pierce
28 NO LB Quay Walker
Vikings BPA again, top 2 DE in the class // Chargers 3 for 3 on offensive players in round one, Dotson - Willis - Bell // Packers need WR after trading Keenan Allen, & Pierce gives them a cheaper long term option instead // Saints are in an interesting spot where they need long term pieces at every single position, but Quay Walker makes a lot of sense here with Eric Kendricks as the only LB on the roster
29 MIN TE Trey McBride
30 KC DE Travon Walker
31 TEN S Lewis Cine
32 CAR RB Zamir White
Vikings finish off the round with the top TE, ending with Hall - Walker - Dean - Thibodeaux - McBride // Chiefs grab BPA, this time on defense, adding the #1 overall pick IRL to pair with Joey Bosa // Titans grab the 2nd safety off the board, but DE may make sense at this selection as well (Karlaftis, Johnson) // Panthers missed out on RB early, but still manage to grab the #7 RB off the board to end round one
