1. Commanders go Drake Maye
— Everyone seems to think it will be QB Jayden Daniels for the Commanders at No. 2 but they could legitimately go Drake Maye from UNC. It would surprise some folks and probably make New England fans happy.

2. Chargers go OL
— Jim Harbaugh loves the OL so the temptation of going Malik Nabers at WR (or Marvin Harrison Jr. if he’s there) is real but don’t be shocked if Harbaugh just locks in on OT Joe Alt or JC Latham.

3. Cowboys go WR
— They need OL and defensive help but Jerry Jones likes to make a splash and I wouldn’t be stunned to see them make a mistake and reach for a WR to help out Dak Prescott.

4. Raiders trade up
— The Raiders need a QB badly and covet JJ McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr. depending on who you talk to. They could try to make a move up big time.

5. Bills and Chiefs stay away from WR
— The Bills have no WR1 and the Chiefs have a ton of WR3 guys but this draft is so deep that they could forgo round-one picks and go defense and offensive line respectively.
