Buffalo Bills
1. Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan – Elite run-stuffer who could fit right in their defensive scheme and personnel.
2. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina – The secondary is the weak spot on this Bills team, and Emmanwori is a physical presence that may take some time to develop but may also be good enough to start right now over what the Bills have.
3. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia – Another safety, while different in archetype to Emmanwori, who should be good enough to be a day-one starter.
4. Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky – the type of speedy corner whose read-and-react abilities may play well on a Buffalo defense that can rush the passer.
5. Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State – Could provide a bit of an explosive punch to an offense that has possession WRs and no real game-breakers.
Miami Dolphins
1. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas – A position-versatile offensive linemen who will find a spot to protect Tua from and should play well in Mike McDaniel’s zone blocking schemes.
2. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan – The best true cornerback in the draft would come in and start immediately on this team.
3. Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State – The Dolphins simply can not enter the season with their current cornerback room and Thomas could address that need on day two.
4. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame – A potential round-two selection who is the most natural archetypal fit to replace Javon Holland.
5. Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon – I know the Dolphins have Tua signed long-term, but why not bring in Gabriel, a very similar player, to be his backup at the low cost of a late-round pick?
New York Jets
1. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State – The best tight end in the draft would fit well in an offense that lacks dynamic playmakers and his run blocking abilities will only help Breece Hall.
2. Armand Membou, OT, Missouri – The Jets have a good offensive line, save for the right tackle position, and Membou could fill that role on day one.
3. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan – The best defensive tackle in the draft would instantly bolster the Jets’ run defense.
4. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami – If the Jets pass on Warren, they could address the need in round two with the walking mismatch Elijah Arroyo.
5. Aireontae Early, OT, Minnesota – If the Jets don’t address their need at tackle in the first round, Early should be around on day two to fill the void.
New England Patriots
1. Travis Hunter, Colorado – One of the best player-to-team fits in the draft if he falls to the Patriots as he could be an elite offensive weapon for Drake Maye and a counterpart on the otherside of Christian Gonzalez.
2. Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn State – If Carter falls to New England’s pick, and Travis Hunter is off the board, the move is to simply take the best player available.
3. Will Campbell, OT, LSU – A franchise corner-stone left tackle who could protect Drake Maye for the next decade. Would be the pick in round 1 if Hunter and Carter are gone.
4. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State – If the Patriots don’t grab a tackle in round 1, Simmons would be a great fit on day two.
5. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford – the type of physical specimen who turns 50/50 balls into 80/20 balls and would give Drake Maye a legitimate downfield threat.
