| Pick | Team (Original Pick) | Re-Draft Selection | Original Player | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chicago Bears | Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU | Caleb Williams | Daniels won OROY, looks like a franchise QB with elite mobility + accuracy. Clear #1 now. |
| 2 | Washington Commanders | Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina | Jayden Daniels | Maye has superstar flashes; elite arm talent and size. Many see him as the highest upside QB. |
| 3 | New England Patriots | Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame | Drake Maye | Alt has been a dominant blindside protector — one of the safest, best players in the class. |
| 4 | Arizona Cardinals | Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State | Marvin Harrison Jr. | Verse's production + motor make him a game-wrecker. Huge value at #19 originally. |
| 5 | Los Angeles Chargers | Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia | Joe Alt | Bowers is already a top-3 TE in the league — dynamic receiver and blocker. |
| 6 | New York Giants | Malik Nabers, WR, LSU | Malik Nabers (stayed high) | Nabers has been a WR1 despite QB play. Explosive and reliable. |
| 7 | Tennessee Titans | Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo | Joe Alt (traded) | Mitchell is a shutdown corner — All-Pro caliber early. |
| 8 | Atlanta Falcons | Byron Young, EDGE, Alabama | Michael Penix Jr. | Young's pass rush alongside Verse makes him a riser. |
| 9 | Chicago Bears (via CAR) | Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA | Jared Verse (traded) | Latu has been a consistent disruptor. |
| 10 | New York Jets | Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU | J.J. McCarthy | Thomas is a deep threat with big-play ability. |
