With the contract paid to Denzel Ward, the Browns could have a hard time keeping both Martin Emerson and Greg Newsome.

2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Cooper DeJean, CB/S
The Cowboys grab more tackle talent for the future.
Greene is starting at left tackle for Georgia and playing well thus far in 2023. At 6-foot-4, 320 pounds, Greene fits with some other Bulldogs left tackles who are not typical edge protectors.
Previous Mock Selections:
8/12-Trey Zuhn III, OT
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Tyler Nubin, S
Unless Javon Kinlaw has a breakout year, the 49ers could be looking for an upgrade at defensive tackle.
Williams flashed interior rush ability in 2021 when he had five sacks and 16 tackles. In 2023, he has played solid football with 21 tackles, one sack and one pass defended. Williams (6-2, 290) had a number of impressive plays, getting the better of Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt.
Previous Mock Selections:
8/12-Terrance Brooks, CB
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Chop Robinson, DE
The Vikings need more young edge-rush talent.
Carter has 11 tackles, one sack and one interception thus far in 2023. In 2022, he made his presence felt as a freshman with 56 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder has quickness and could form a dangerous tandem with Chop Robinson.

By the time of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jets might be looking for a corner to go with Sauce Gardner.
Little has two tackles thus far in 2022. Little (6-1, 186) could breakout in 2024, assuming he replaces either Terrion Arnold or Kool-Aid McKinstry.
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Xavier Worthy, WR
Yhe Giants might want to use the 2025 NFL Draft to add some edge rush to go with Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Bailey has been a dangerous edge rusher in 2023 with four sacks and 16 tackles. In 2022, he recorded 2.5 sacks, 46 tackles and two forced fumbles. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder has linebacker size for the NFL.
Previous Mock Selections:
8/12-Jahfari Harvey, DE
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Kamren Kinchens, S
Come the 2025 NFL Draft, the Saints could be looking for a back to pair with Kendre Miller.
Singleton has averaged 3.8 yards per carry this season for 203 yards and five touchdowns. He also has seven receptions for 72 yards. In 2022, Singleton flashed real ability, averaging 6.8 yards per carry for 1,061 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had 11 receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown too. Singleton (6-0, 224) is a big back with quickness.
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Marcellas Dial, CB
The Jaguars will see if Calvin Ridley can play up to his potential, but even if he does, they could use a big wideout for Trevor Lawrence.
Mitchell has 12 receptions for 180 yards and three touchdowns in 2023. He has a good skill set with upside to rise.
Previous Mock Selections:
8/12-Beaux Collins, WR
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Caelen Carson, CB
Unless some of their young players break out, the Ravens could use multiple young defensive line additions over the next few drafts.
Harvey has six tackles with a sack in 2023. He notched 31 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2022. The 6-foot-4, 252-pounder plays hard and is physical.

2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB
Seattle could be looking for a replacement for Geno Smith by the time of the 2025 NFL Draft.
To open 2023, Ewers has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,033 yards, nine touchdowns and zero interceptions. He surgically ripped up Alabama’s defense in a Week 2 road win. Ewers flashed some big-time potential for Texas in 2022. Ewers completed 58 percent of his passes that season for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions.
There is no doubt that Ewers can make all the throws and pocket passing potential. While he needs to get more consistent, he has a big arm and serious passing talent. Team sources say that he has good makeup, football I.Q., and could continue to rise.
Previous Mock Selections:
8/12-Jalen Milroe, QB
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Brock Bowers, TE
If J.C. Jackson doesn’t rebound, the Chargers are going to need more corner talent.
In 2023, Burke has two tackles and an interception. He recorded 34 tackles and five breakups in 2022. At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, Burke has NFL size, but he has some technique issues that he needs to clean up. Going back to Ohio State for 2024 would be a good idea.
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Joe Alt, OT
The Bills should know if James Cook is the answer before the 2025 NFL Draft. He might be too small to be a difference-maker for Buffalo.
Etienne has ran well for Florida in 2023, averaging 6.7 yards per carry for 329 yards and two touchdowns. He has seven receptions for 46 yards as well. In 2022, he averaged 6.1 yards per carry for 719 yards and six touchdowns. Etienne (5-9, 205) is strong, quick, and has excellent instincts.
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Nate Wiggins, CB
The Lions signed Marvin Jones as a short-term solution, but they could use a big receiver to go with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Collins has 17 catches for 226 yards and a touchdown so far this year. In 2022, he turned 22 receptions into 373 yards and five scores. Collins (6-3, 210) has some talent, and it will be interesting to see if he starts getting featured by Clemson.
Previous Mock Selections:
8/12-Adonai Mitchell, WR
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Malik Nabers, WR
By the time of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Chiefs could be thinking of a replacement for Travis Kelce.

2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Kamari Lassiter, CB
The Eagles have stop-gap veterans at running back, but the team could use a long-term starter.
Robinson is talented, but the big power back is behind some more experienced players. By the time of the 2025 NFL Draft, he could have put up some breakout performances.
2024 NFL Mock Draft (as of 9/29): Ruke Orhorhoro, OT
By the time of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Bengals could consider adding more interior defensive line talent.
A star recruit, Graham flashed as a freshman with 27 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a pass batted. He has recorded nine tackles, .5 sacks and one forced fumble in 2023. Graham (6-3, 318) has good size and upside.
