Brad Biggs' NFL mock draft: Proposing a trade down for Bears and GM Ryan Poles

The Raiders have an explosive front after signing defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to play alongside Maxx Crosby. Arnold would help boost a suspect secondary that has been plagued by busted picks in recent seasons.

14. New Orleans Saints: Byron Murphy, DT, Texas

The Saints could be in the market for an offensive lineman as they’re aging up front. They also could target Murphy, an explosive interior defender who, if he develops, could transform their front seven.

15. Indianapolis Colts: Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

The Colts were relatively quiet in free agency and their biggest need is at cornerback. If you don’t get one early, it’s tough to find a solid starter. Mitchell has been a rising star since the Senior Bowl.

16. Seattle Seahawks: Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State

GM John Schneider has been pretty open that the Seahawks have needs in the trenches. Fortunately for them, it’s a deep draft at the position and Fashanu is a good talent as the fourth lineman off the board.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cooper DeJean, CB, Iowa

Cornerback hasn’t been talked about a lot as a strength in this draft, but the premium on the position always tends to push corners up draft boards. DeJean is finally healthy and would be a solid pick for the Jaguars back end.

18. Cincinnati Bengals: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Some project Bowers to go higher, but tight ends generally are not premium picks. If he makes it this far, he’s a great new weapon for QB Joe Burrow that can occupy the middle of the field with the ability to run after the catch.

19. Los Angeles Rams: Laiatu Latu, edge, UCLA

Losing DT Aaron Donald to retirement puts a massive hole in the middle of Sean McVay’s defense. It’s not a great draft for interior linemen, but the Rams can start rebuilding their pass rush by staying local with Latu, who has advanced pass-rushing moves for a rookie prospect.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Graham Barton, OL, Duke

The Steelers need to enhance their offensive line and Barton is an intriguing option who profiles as a high-level guard or center. A left tackle in college, he should be a standout starter on the inside in the NFL.

21. Miami Dolphins: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon

The Dolphins have a real need for pass-rushing talent with their veteran options coming off serious injuries last season. They might have to trade up to land a pass rusher to their liking. If they stay put, they can work on protecting QB Tua Tagovailoa with Powers-Johnson, who can play any of the three interior spots.

22. Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma

The Eagles have a knack for landing offensive linemen a year before they need them. They did pretty well when they picked right tackle Lane Johnson out of Oklahoma with the No. 4 pick in 2013, and Guyton has massive size (6-7¾, 322) and the ability to plug in at that position in the near future.

23. Cardinals (projected trade with Vikings from Texans): Chop Robinson, edge, Penn State

The Cardinals need help all over the place. They bought some defensive tackles in free agency and now they get Robinson, who tested well at the combine and would provide some juice up front.

24. Dallas Cowboys: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia

It has been an odd offseason in Dallas with way more losses than additions in free agency. The Cowboys were hit particularly hard up front on offense and need youth. Mims is a massive (6-8, 340) and long right tackle who should be able to help immediately.

25. Green Bay Packers: Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri

The Packers could be in the market for a cornerback here but they have a history of being proactive in building depth on the defensive line. Robinson is a physical performer who has the versatility to play a couple of spots.

26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson

The Bucs need help on the edge, but it’s not a great draft class there. They’re also thin at cornerback. Enter Wiggins, who can absolutely fly.

27. Cardinals (from Texans): Ennis Rakestraw, CB, Missouri

With three first-round picks in this mock draft, the Cardinals have a chance to get a lot of help. Cornerback is another position of need and Rakestraw rated well against top competition in the SEC. This could be a trade-out spot if a team is looking to climb up for a quarterback or wide receiver.

28. Buffalo Bills: Brian Thomas, WR, LSU

Gabriel Davis exited via free agency and the Bills followed that up by trading Stefon Diggs to the Texans. They need help at wide receiver and might need to double down on the position. The good news is they probably can stay put and get a strong prospect such as Thomas.

29. Detroit Lions: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama

Cornerback already looked like a potential need for the Lions, and then veteran Cameron Sutton went on the run from the law and wound up getting released before he finally turned himself in to authorities. Don’t be surprised if GM Brad Holmes looks to trade up in search of a cornerback. If he stays put, perhaps he lands McKinstry.

30. Baltimore Ravens: Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas

How many times have we been here, saying the Ravens need to get Lamar Jackson help on the outside? Worthy can absolutely scoot and it’s interesting to project his ability in that offense. Zay Flowers is a versatile target but Jackson doesn’t have a vertical threat. That’s precisely what Worthy would be.

31. San Francisco 49ers: JC Latham, OT, Alabama

The 49ers will need to replace Trent Williams in the near future. For the time being, they need a right tackle and Latham would be a terrific upgrade for Kyle Shanahan’s running game and would help keep heat off QB Brock Purdy.

32. Kansas City Chiefs: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas

If an offensive tackle slides to the end of Round 1, it’s the kind of pick you could see Andy Reid pushing for. But the chance to get a versatile and talented wide receiver for Patrick Mahomes cannot be overlooked. In a lot of drafts, Mitchell would go considerably higher.
