Carter might just be the best player in the draft, as he creates havoc with his explosion off the line.

Expect Carolina to trade out of this spot, as a lot of teams are incredibly high on Walker and Carolina has a multitude of needs.
9. New Orleans Saints— DT Mason Graham, Michigan

The Saints will absolutely trade out of this pick if they can get a ransom for Graham, who should have been gone earlier.

Ben Johnson knows that to win, they need to protect Caleb Williams better.

Harmon would be an instant starter for the 49ers, who had their struggles last season on defense.
12. Dallas Cowboys—TE Tyler Warren, Penn State

Jerry has always been outside the box in his thinking, and pairing Warren and Ferguson might be too good to pass up.
15. Atlanta Falcons—Edge Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
