1. Chicago Bears
Caleb Williams, QB, USC
No surprises here. Williams can make every throw imaginable, is an underrated athlete, and posted elite numbers in his three-year collegiate career. Even his flaws—like his desire to work out of structure—are impressive because he’s incredible out of structure. You can put this one in stone.
2. Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Not much has changed here. Daniels remains the favorite to go second overall, though it’s far from a done deal. Daniels put up video game numbers through the air in his final season and has absurd rushing potential. For better and for worse, RGIII is a common comparison for him. Adam Schefter still has Daniels going to Washington as well.
Barring a last-minute change, Daniels looks to be a Commander.
3. New England Patriots
Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
For now, I won’t try to predict the unpredictable and instead have New England holding firm and taking Drake Maye. They could trade out of this spot or surprise us by nabbing J.J. McCarthy, but Maye’s body of work at UNC is hard to pass on. He threw 62 touchdowns and came up just shy of 8,000 yards in his two seasons as a starter. Maye is also a great athlete who rushed for 16 touchdowns in those two seasons.
4. Minnesota Vikings (trade with Arizona Cardinals)
J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah went to Princeton for an economics degree and Stanford for his master’s before working on Wall Street. He’s not in the business of losing trades for no reason.
The value loss here is part of the game Minnesota has to play to move up the board. I don’t see any way they can stand still at No. 11. It’s possible they move up even higher or swap with the Chargers and then again with the Cardinals. Either way, they are moving into the top five for a quarterback.
5. Los Angeles Chargers
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Is this fantasy wish-casting? You better believe it. But it’s also realistic. Rumors…
