Ever since their blockbuster trade for quarterback Geno Smith, the Las Vegas Raiders have been projected to take Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty in most mocks. Connecting Jeanty to the Raiders makes sense, as Las Vegas' running backs room is not up to snuff, which is even more troublesome when you consider the team had the league's worst rushing attack last season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers desperately need to improve the interior of their defensive line ahead of the 2025 campaign, which has led many to believe the team will utilize its first-round pick on the position. Adding weight to that speculation, Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan reports that the Steelers have a "clear favorite" for their first-round NFL draft pick, and the player Pittsburgh is rumored to be eyeing is Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon.

The Minnesota Vikings sported one of the best defenses in the NFL last season, partly thanks to a solid cornerback trio that included Byron Murphy, Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin. However, two of those players, Gilmore and Griffin, are still available on the open market and it remains unclear if either one will be brought back. If not, the Vikings need to make another move to shore up the position.

The Seattle Seahawks have done their best to replace DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the wake of cutting both loose this offseason, but it's hard to say they've done an adequate job. The addition of Cooper Kupp adds a much-needed starting-caliber player, but what he has left in the tank at 32 years old remains to be seen. Further, the former Super Bowl MVP has had issues staying healthy in recent years, which only adds to the concern over his ability to make the kind of impact the Seahawks need.

The Detroit Lions made a pair of additions to their cornerbacks room in the 2024 NFL draft, with the team springing for Terrion Arnold in the first round before taking Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the second. While Arnold made a big impact in his first season, the same cannot be said for the Missouri product, who appeared in eight games but only saw 141 total snaps, including just 46 on defense.

Even after losing one of their starters in 2024, the Detroit Lions had one of the best offensive lines in the NFL once again thanks to veteran Kevin Zeitler being a seamless fit following his being acquired in free agency. Zeitler played in 16 of 17 games for the Lions and gave up five sacks and 18 total pressures. He posted elite overall (86.5) and run-blocking grades (87.2), and had a respectable pass-blocking grade (70.7), according to Pro Football Focus.

Despite the fact that they acquired a starting quarterback in Geno Smith via trade with the Seattle Seahawks, the Las Vegas Raiders could still take a quarterback in the 2025 NFL draft. That's because Smith is set to turn 35 and has never proven he can lead a team to big things. Furthermore, Smith is only under contract through 2027, and the Raiders can cut him without pain prior to that season if things don't pan out.

While much of the attention has been on the team's lackluster edge rusher situation — and rightly so — the Atlanta Falcons also have a problem at cornerback. Opposite A.J. Terrell, the Falcons have a lackluster starting option in Mike Hughes, and Dee Alford, who is coming off a bad 2024 season, is currently slated to start in the slot. Ideally, the Falcons add upgrades for both and push Alford and Hughes to lesser roles.

After breaking his tibia and fibula last October, Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson is getting closer and closer to finishing his injury rehab. The last update we got was a video showing Hutchinson running, which signaled that he's very close to the end of his rehab. While attending The Masters last week, Hutchinson revealed that he's almost at the finish line. “I’m there. I’d say I’m good,” he told Mardy Smith. “I’ve got my last evaluation test when I get back (to Detroit).
