To check the latest mock essays for No.5:

Pick: Cornell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Analysis: "Jackson adds another weapon to Dart. Gives Tate a vertical receiver to play opposite a hopeful, healthy Malik Nabbers."

Pick: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

Analysis: "Not everyone will be drafting a midfielder this early, but Downs is not your typical midfielder. He sees the field as a chessboard and plays with a competitive instinct and toughness that has a big impact on the game."

Pick: Makai Lemon, WR, USC

Analysis: “Don't avoid an offensive lineman here, but Lemon and Malik Neighbors could be a great duo for Jaxson Dart and the new offense.Lemon is a tough, competitive yards-after-the-catch specialist who will fit John Garbo's tough team."

Thando: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami

Analysis: "They will return to their best ways under new coach John Harbaugh by filling holes with new talent."

Pick: Mansoor Delaney, CB, LSU

Analysis: "Delane is a suffocating presence on the outside with the ability to hold his own on all three levels and take the rock."

Safidy: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Analysis: "Tate's tape reminds me of LSU's Justin Jefferson, and he entered the league with a similar body type and skill set."

Seçim: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State

Analysis: "This was my first curve ball, as many of the early mock drafts linked him to a wide receiver or offensive scheme. These are completely understandable, especially if Wan'Dale Robinson and/or Jermaine Elumuno leave in free agency. But Towns caught my eye as a player going into the John Harbaugh era."

Pick: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

Analysis: "Developing and protecting quarterback Jaxson Dart should be a priority for new head coach John Harbaugh. Fano has earned a better 92.0 PFF over the past two seasons and will fit in perfectly as a 'right tackle' opposite Andrew Thomas."

Pick: Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Analysis: “The WR1 debate between Tate, Jordan Tyson and Mackay Lemon should extend beyond the NFL combine."However, there are minimal and minimal questions regarding Tate's health and scheme contributions."

Kusanha: Gordon Tison, BP, Arizona Article

Analysis: "With Malik Nabers recovering from a major knee injury and Won'Dell Robinson hitting free agency, New York may be forced to add another difference-maker in the passing game. Tyson offers upside, boasting the group's highest ceiling after earning an 89.5 PFF receiving man rating this season."

Pick: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

Analysis: "McCoy tore his ACL in January 2025 (he missed all of last season), so we'll have to see how his medical evaluation goes during the draft (including the NFL scouting combine). But my model likes his potential and upside: He's the highest-rated true press corner in this year's class. Our Delan corner.

Pilih: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State

Analysis: "Styles may be the cherry on top of the seven prospects. He's one of the best off-ball linebackers to come out in recent years, boasting a great frame and corner movement skills."

Wall: Cornell Tate, WR, Ohio Filkey

Analysis: "Tate is a long forward with a large catch radius and reliable hands that make contested catches look easy downfield. He's quick and quick in short yards, can get on top of routes and has the ability to make defenders miss after the catch. His ball tracking, route running and space-operating abilities make him an impact player at the Day 1 level."

Seçim: Cornell Tate, WR, Ohio State

Analysis: "Carnell Tate could add more confidence going into Year 2 with Jaxson Dart. Tate is a big body with body control and a feel for making plays in space."

Pick: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami

Analysis: “Whether at right tackle (where he's started the last three seasons) or guard, Mauigoa will provide more help ahead of Jackson Dart.

Elegir: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

Analysis: "Spencer Fano plays with good technique and great feet, and I believe he can handle any tackle spot. He didn't allow a sack this season and gave up just six hits. His best days are yet to come, but I like his strength right now, his ability to move people in the run game and his athleticism to pull and clear defenders in the second level."

Val: Carnell Tate, VR, Ohio filki

Analysis: "Show here that it's all about the development of quarterback Jaxson Dart. Tate is a long, athletic player with incredible body control that he uses to dominate the catch zone. He's the perfect complement to Malik Nabers and gives Dart another go-to guy in high-level situations."

Pick: Francis Muigwa, OL, Miami

Analysis: "John Harbaugh and The Eagles look to invest in the development of Jackson Dart this offseason."

Pick: Jordin Tyson, WR, Arizona State

Analysis: "New York drafted Jackson Dart in the first round of the year, and as a rookie, he showed promise in the first half of the draft to be optimistic about what can be done in this development. But if they want Dart to make the same strides as Caleb Williams and Derrick Maye did in their second years, they'll need to go higher, especially at this point, in the ACL, especially at other positions."Get the ACL.Guns, you have to go back to Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson.

The pick: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

Analysis: "New coach John Harbaugh played defensive end in Miami, Ohio, and coached the position for one season with the Eagles. The Ravens selected DBs Kyle Hamilton, Malachi Starks and Nate Wiggins in the first round while they were with the team. Safety Caleb Downs, who serves as the second quarterback, is certainly attractive, but in this Harbace Delane conference.

Dooro: Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State

Analysis: "While I agree with many draft analysts recently that Ohio State's Arvel Reese is a better prospect than linebacker, I believe his teammate is the best cornerback in this draft class. Stiles' evaluation profile is similar to that of San Francisco 49ers star quarterback Fred Warner from his time at BYU, and hecould easily be an NFL starter within a decade"

Pick: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah

Review: "Jackson Dart has to save himself from unnecessary murder, but he has to do everything in his power to keep his pockets clean."
