To no one’s surprise, Thursday’s NFL Draft was, well, full of surprises.

Wide receiver Carnell Tate being the first Ohio State player picked. Quarterback Ty Simpson being the 13th pick. The 49ers and Bills making multiple trades to get out of the first round.

Here’s a wrapup of the first round (rounds 2-3 will be held today, with rounds 4-7 on Saturday).

Joe Flacco-type stature and arm but with sneaky mobility. Tends to take too many violent hits, which happened against Ohio State and Miami (both blows to the head) in both seasons. Great face-of-the-franchise leader. He’s the definition of what it means to be “all in.”

David Bailey, DE, Texas Tech, 6-4, 251, A: 333⁄4, 4.5, VJ: 35

Brings instant pass rush to the Jets, which should help translate to some rushed throws and maybe some interceptions, something the Jets shockingly didn’t register in 2025. New York’s previous pick came against Miami during the 2024 season.

Many considered Love the best player in the draft. The Cardinals are deep in running backs with James Conner and Tyler Allgeier but any team that’s in the same division with the Seahawks, Rams and 49ers will need to run the ball. When Conner went down with injury last year, the Cardinals’ season went downhill.

Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State, 6-2, 192, H: 101⁄4, 4.53

First stunner of the draft. Tate might have been the fourth-best Ohio State player in the draft — behind Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs — but was the first one off the board. OC Brian Daboll got the makings of an offense with Tate and QB Cam Ward, last year’s No. 1 overall pick.

Arvell Reese, Edge, Ohio State, 6-4, 241, A: 321⁄2, 4.46

The Giants were in a no-lose situation, with the options of having Reese or Sonny Styles. Well, they did lose out on Love or Tate. Reese’s versatility should be a boost to a defense that already has quality rush ends in Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

The Chiefs got a shutdown-type corner in a desperately needy position after they lost both cornerbacks (Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson) to the Rams. Delane came at a cheap price, too. It only took a third- and a fifth-round pick to move up to the Browns’ spot from No. 9.

Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State, 6-5, 244, 4.46, VJ: 431⁄2

GM Adam Peters, an assistant GM with the 49ers, got his Fred Warner. Like Warner, who would cover receivers while at BYU, Styles did the same as a former safety. He roams the entire field with his athleticism.

Tyson was a late riser, with many analysts saying Tyson could move into the top 10, or even top five. He’s spectacular when healthy. But that’s the issue — he’s always hurt. He’ll be a weapon for QB Tyler Shough, whose injury history in college was worse than Tyson’s.

GM Andrew Berry did it again. Last year he moved from No. 2 overall to No. 5 in a trade with the Jaguars, who took Travis Hunter. But that haul handed the Browns a first-round pick this year. This year’s deal wasn’t as rich. However, the Browns still filled a coveted spot at OL. Fano can play along the entire line, and that should be valuable for a team that lost all of its starters from the previous season.

Powerful offensive lineman who plays right tackle, a spot that’s manned by Jermaine Eluemunor, who got a three-year, $39 million deal. Mauigoa could move to guard initially and eventually take over at tackle.

Can’t wait!! That phrase was probably uttered in the Cowboys’ war room. They made sure they got Downs by trading with the Dolphins to move up one spot and land a dynamic top-10 prospect. He’s an enforcer who should be a ringleader of the back end of the Cowboys defense. This is a great get for a team that needed help on that side of the ball.

Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama, 6-7, 352, 5.21, BP: 25, VJ: 321⁄2

Any pick will help a team that’s been gutted. Proctor, who once weighed 390 pounds, has the ability to play guard or tackle and could line up next to last year’s second-round pick in guard Jonah Savaiinaea. Proctor just needs to stay motivated so he can play at his optimum weight.
