Rather than focus on building out the rest of the roster, the PFSN mock draft has the Cleveland Browns adding Emeka Egbuka to a core of Cedric Tillman and Jamari Thrash already, while Jerry Jeudy is still on the roster.
As the Super Bowl exposed, the primary need for the Kansas City Chiefs is the offensive line, which gave up the most sacks of Mahomes' career, and was a major reason for the team struggling in New Orleans. Instead, the PFSN mock draft has them adding another Defensive Tackle in Walter Nolen.
The key for the Baltimore Ravens has to be building out a stout defense after struggling against high-level competition for most of the year on the defensive side of the ball. However, the PFSN mock draft has them going after an offensive tackle to strengthen a line that is already solid, and might allude to one or more of Ronnie Staley, Patrick Mekari, and Ben Cleveland being on the move.
Rather than adding a dynamic element to their offense with a ground game, PFSN is predicting that the Denver Broncos will target pass catchers for Bo Nix with Colston Loveland going into the first round to Sean Payton.
Rather than try to fix a defense that was among the three worst in the league, the PFSN mock draft sees the Bengals go after Tyler Booker to their offensive line, which admittedly does need help, but not as much as the defense.
As part of a Draft day trade, the San Francisco 49ers move five spots back to add to their offensive line with Armand Membou. However, their biggest need on offense might be receivers, with both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel potential trade candidates. Instead, building out a defense that was middling throughout the year might be the way to go for Kyle Shanahan.
With Zack Martin retiring, the focus for the Dallas Cowboys has to be on the offensive line to begin with, especially with injuries to Dak Prescott mounting up in recent years. As a result, their understandable pick of a cornerback in Will Johnson might have to come somewhere later down the draft.
With no quarterback in sight and new head coach Pete Carroll at the helm, Ashton Jeanty could absolutely explode to an All-Pro caliber season in his rookie year itself. It would signal their intentions for this season as they move forward with no real answer at the quarterback spot.
Abdul Carter falling to the fourth pick feels like an impossibility with his excellent, borderline generational, performance so far. Even so, the focus for the Patriots has to be on the offensive side of the ball, as head coach Mike Vrabel can automatically give them a lift on the other side of the football.
The New York Giants have to put forward a sustainable product on the gridiron and Heisman Winner Travis Hunter, for all his brilliance, cannot singlehandedly carry a team. Instead, the focus for the team has to be on finding a quarterback to build around.
