Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah

Rams traded for Trent McDuffie, so I don’t think they’ll go cornerback here. Upgrading the offensive line will be the next priority.

#14 Baltimore Ravens

Peter Woods, DT, Clemson

More than anything, the Ravens defense let them down in 2025. Woods should change the tone.

Akheem Mesidor, EDGE, Miami-Fl
