"The college football season is over. Now it's time for the NFL draft. Here are early projections for the first round, which begins April 23 in Pittsburgh: 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana This pairing feels destined given Mendoza's success and the Raiders' need for a franchise quarterback. Perhaps the happy-go-lucky Heisman Trophy winner and national champion can help uplift a team desperate for a spark and new leadership."
"2. New York Jets: Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State Quarterback Dante Moore's decision to return to Oregon opens up a world of possibilities for the Jets. There's no clear-cut top prospect, so why not bet on Reese's traits and versatility as an off-ball linebacker and pass rusher? 3. Arizona Cardinals: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami The Cardinals have a hole at right tackle with Jonah Williams entering free agency. Mauigoa can step in and form a promising young pair of offensive line bookends with 2023 first-round pick Paris Johnson Jr."
Early first-round projections list Fernando Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders to provide a franchise quarterback and leadership. Arvell Reese is projected to the New York Jets for his pass-rushing and off-ball versatility after Dante Moore returned to Oregon. Francis Mauigoa is projected to the Arizona Cardinals to fill a right tackle hole and pair with Paris Johnson Jr. Rueben Bain Jr. is projected to the Tennessee Titans to add power next to Jeffery Simmons and T'Vondre Sweat. Caleb Downs is projected to the New York Giants for his instincts and leadership. Jordyn Tyson is projected to the Cleveland Browns as an electric playmaker to boost quarterback evaluations.
