Now with a bit of hindsight, we'll go back and do a re-draft featuring the top players of the 2024 class. Some picks will be similar to the actual pick, while others will see the team going in a different direction in terms of position. I used roster needs as the main driver with my picks on most selections.   Check out where some of the top '24 stars will call "home" in our All-2024 First Round Re-Draft.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Pick 1: Carolina Panthers   [player_tooltip player_id='169899' first='Daniel' last='Kaelin'] | QB | Bellevue West | Mizzou Commit   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14285745/Daniel-Kaelin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/DanielKaelin5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Panthers made an early trade up to the 1st overall pick, and it should be a no-brainer that they moved up to get their franchise QB. Carolina makes the easy pick to add Bellevue West/Mizzou QB [player_tooltip player_id='169899' first='Daniel' last='Kaelin'] here. Daniel went off in his first season as QB1 for the Thunderbirds, setting several records and leading one of the most explosive offenses in the state. He finished the year with 3,186 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, 64% completion, and a QBR of 115. Exceptional arm talent with a high football IQ that can step in and be a leader immediately.    Pick 2: Houston Texans   [player_tooltip player_id='250051' first='Anthony' last='Rezac'] | QB | Omaha Westside | 6'3" 195 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14613154/Anthony-Rezac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/teddyrezac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Texans also get their franchise QB in Westside's [player_tooltip player_id='250051' first='Anthony' last='Rezac']. Anthony gives Houston not just their future QB but a tough runner that can complement breakout RB Dameon Pierce. Rezac was one of two players in the state that threw for 2,000 yards and ran for 1,000. He makes quick, smart decisions with his passes/option reads and can diagnose a defense effectively. An aspect people overlook about Anthony's game is how accurate he is and how well he takes care of the ball - 38 touchdowns to only five interceptions in his 22 games as a starter. The Texans need to establish a winning culture, and who better to have to lead that than a state championship QB.    Pick 3: Houston Texans   [player_tooltip player_id='416970' first='Ashton' last='Murphy'] | DL | Elkhorn South | Nebraska Commit   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14899852/Ashton-Murphy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/AshtonMurphy24" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Texans need help on defense, namely the defensive line, where they were one of the worst teams against the run. [player_tooltip player_id='416970' first='Ashton' last='Murphy'] is a defender with plug-and-play ability anywhere on the defensive line. Murphy played a rotational role on the defensive line but still managed to rack up 37 tackles, five tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Ashton has the toughness and power to play defensive tackle and disrupt the opposing run game from the inside. He can also play DE and use his length and explosiveness off the ball to create pressure off the edge. Murphy also possesses a powerful leg drive and violent hands/hips that help him win his 1v1 matchups with ease. Major upgrade here!    Pick 4: Indianapolis Colts   [player_tooltip player_id='340487' first='Carson' last='Rauner'] | QB | Elkhorn South | 6'3" 200 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12187556/Carson-Rauner" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/CarsonRauner" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   With the 4th pick, the Colts race to the podium to select their new franchise QB, [player_tooltip player_id='340487' first='Carson' last='Rauner']. Carson is a player that rode a strong summer into a huge breakout junior year. Rauner finished the 2022 season with 1,602 passing yards (60% comp.), 13 passing touchdowns, and a QBR of 105.3. Carson's arm talent was on ful display, showing his ability to make throws to all levels of the field and deliver them with excellent ball placement. He's a smart QB that can read and dissect defenses with efficiency. Carson had several plays on his tape where he delivered the ball into very tight windows. Very underrated mobility and ability to make plays with his legs. He added 468 yards and 4 touchdowns on the ground. With one of the best QB developing coaches on board, the sky is the limit with Carson!    Pick 5: Seattle Seahawks   Dae' Vonn Hall | WR | Bellevue West | 6'2" 175 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12139045/Dae-Vonn-Hall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/DaevonnHall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Seahawks went defense first, then receiver in the real draft, but we'll do the opposite in this go-around. Hall's talent, production, and upside are too much to pass up at the #5 pick. Hall is coming off a monster season in which he hauled in 62 receptions for 974 yards and 11 touchdowns. Dae'Vonn is as complete of a receiver as they come, with great hands, route-running, and just being a flat-out playmaker. He is a player that can work all levels of the field. He's a technician with his footwork and can win with his release, create separation at the breakoff point, and can get behind defenders with his speed. Dae'Vonn is very savvy when it comes to coverages and being able to create separation and find open zones. The trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and now [player_tooltip player_id='169896' first='Dae'Vonn' last='Hall'] makes this one of the most explosive receiver groups in the league.    Pick 6: Arizona Cardinals   [player_tooltip player_id='250675' first='Caleb' last='Pyfrom'] | OT | Omaha Central | 6'5" 300 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16160718/Caleb-Pyfrom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/PyfromCaleb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Easy pick here for the Cardinals, picking up the top offensive lineman in the draft and a bookend tackle for years to come. Pyfrom was one of the biggest risers in the 2022 season, as he has now reached double-digit offers. When you watch Caleb's tape, you see a well-rounded OL prospect that can move very well laterally while also flashing a mean streak. His athleticism for his size is astounding to watch on film as he can cover a lot of ground on pulls, move quickly into the second level, and is smooth in pass protection. He has great length and power in his upper body to take on any kind of rusher off the edge. I'm hyped if I'm a Cardinal fan, knowing we got a massive insurance policy for QB Kyler Murray when he returns.    Pick 7: Las Vegas Raiders   [player_tooltip player_id='250053' first='Caleb' last='Benning'] | S | Omaha Westside | 5'11" 185 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14473534/Caleb-Benning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/CalebBenning1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Raiders need help. Period. Enter Westside's [player_tooltip player_id='250053' first='Caleb' last='Benning'], who gives the silver and black a versatile chess piece in their secondary. Caleb is a cerebral, instinctive safety that can cover sideline-to-sideline and is just as effective against the pass as he is against the run. He reads defenses at a high level and can break on the ball quickly with good closing speed to get to the ball. This has helped him become one of the top ball-hawing safeties in the state. Benning brings a different level of toughness and physicality as he's a very willing tackler... and a secure tackler at that. He is a great overall athlete that can also contribute to special teams.    Pick 8: Atlanta Falcons   [player_tooltip player_id='250255' first='Teddy' last='Rezac'] | LB | Omaha Westside | 6'3" 195 lbs   <a href="https://twitter.com/teddyrezac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/teddyrezac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Similar to the Benning selection, the Falcons pick up a player that fits the new type of defender in [player_tooltip player_id='250255' first='Teddy' last='Rezac']. Teddy is a very fluid, versatile defender who can play outside linebacker and can float around the safety and corner positions. Teddy is a do-it-all defender that can defend the run, play the pass, and rush the QB.He ended his junior season with 62 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, a forced fumble, and a sack. He's very rangy with solid length and always seems to be in the right spot to make a play. Great addition to a defense needing smart, physical defenders with a nose for the big play.    Pick 9: Philadelphia Eagles   [player_tooltip player_id='245869' first='Caden' last='Cetak'] | EDGE/DE | Lincoln East | 6'4" 220 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14757320/Caden-Cetak" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/CadenCetak" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Coming off the greatest "sack" season in NFL history, the Eagles decide to continue reloading on players that can get to the QB. Lincoln East DE/EDGE rusher [player_tooltip player_id='245869' first='Caden' last='Cetak'] gives the Birds a menacing presence coming off the edge. Cetak is a lengthy, bendy player who can fit anything from a defensive end to an outside linebacker role. Caden has a very quick first step that helps him blow past slow tackles, and he has long arms to maintain separation when engaged. In his first season as a full-timer, he posted 43 tackles, 6.5 sacks, six passes defended, and a forced fumble. I've seen him at recent camps, and he looks even quicker than he did on tape.    Pick 10: Chicago Bears   [player_tooltip player_id='250290' first='Cooper' last='Johnson'] | OT | Lincoln Southeast | 6'6" 300 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14923738/Cooper-Johnson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/CooperJohnson74" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Bears get a franchise tackle to protect rising QB Justin Fields. [player_tooltip player_id='250290' first='Cooper' last='Johnson'] played right tackle for the Knights last season but could see a move to the left, giving him the nice boost of LT-RT versatility. Johnson has great size at 6'6" and 300 pounds but moves very well on his feet. He has great footwork on his pass sets and has the athleticism to take on speed rushers. As a run blocker, Johnson loves to get after it and take the fight to the defense. He can move to the second level very well and can swallow up LBs. Very physical, violent hand use! I can sleep well at night if I'm Fields.    Pick 11: Tennessee Titans   [player_tooltip player_id='250689' first='Isaiah' last='McMorris'] | WR | Bellevue West | 6'0"   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15586038/Isaiah-McMorris" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/IsaiahMcMorris3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Titans need offensive firepower, and what better way to address it than with [player_tooltip player_id='250689' first='Isaiah' last='McMorris'], who just posted one of the most productive receiving seasons in state history. McMorris gives the Titans a weapon that can be a threat at all levels. He has elite speed that can stretch the defense vertically, and he has the twitch to take quick passes in space for huge chunk gains. He is a monster with the ball in his hands with great vision, change of direction, and burst. With 90 receptions (1,267 yards), Isaiah is an ultra-reliable player that you can target on all downs and give QB Malik Willis a safety blanket target.    Pick 12: Detroit Lions   [player_tooltip player_id='340475' first='Carter' last='Nelson'] | TE | Ainsworth | 6'5" 215 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14581614/Carter-Nelson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Carter83854638" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The defense needs addressing here, but with two first-rounders, I'm comfortable taking one of the highest-upside prospects in the draft. [player_tooltip player_id='340475' first='Carter' last='Nelson'] has been one of the hottest prospects in this recruiting circuit, with over 30 P5 offers. Nelson ended his junior season with 663 passing yards, 15 passing TDs, 761 rushing yards, 14 touchdowns, 525 receiving yards, 11 receiving TDs, 41 tackles, and six interceptions... did it ALL! He projects best as a tight end where he can use his size and massive catch radius to provide a safety blanket in the Lion's passing game. He is also versatile enough to line up outside and can fit a flex TE role. Nelson is a matchup nightmare with 4.5-speed and insane hops. Nelson adds another playmaker to a surprisingly explosive Detriot offense from 2022.    Pick 13: Green Bay Packers   [player_tooltip player_id='250380' first='Eric' last='Ingwerson'] | TE | Papillion-La Vista | Pittsburgh Commit   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14734237/Eric-Ingwerson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Ericingwerson85" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   It is officially the Jordan Love era in Green Bay, and with that, you must look at providing your QB with talented weapons. Taking the fast-rising [player_tooltip player_id='250380' first='Eric' last='Ingwerson'] to give Love a tall, lengthy target to be a reliable target over the middle and in the redzone is a smart move. Eric is a tremendous athlete that is only starting to scratch the surface of his potential. He's a legitimate red zone threat and is a near-lock to win jump balls. On top of that, he is a vicious blocker that can clear the edge in the run game. Huge catching-blocking asset that fills a huge need on offense.    Pick 14: Pittsburgh Steelers   [player_tooltip player_id='630093' first='Sam' last='Thomas'] | OT | Elkhorn North | 6'5" 265 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14840354/Sam-Thomas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Sam_Thomas74" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Steelers get an instant upgrade on the offensive line with the selection of Elkhorn North's [player_tooltip player_id='630093' first='Sam' last='Thomas']. Sam had a breakout junior year in which he was a star on the Wolves' offensive and defensive line. Sam does a great job in both pass protection and as a run blocker. He uses his hands very well and works his way inside with the power to finish blocks in the dirt. Thomas is a mauler when run-blocking, with a powerful leg drive and great mobility. An intense player that always plays through the whistle and has a mean streak on the field. He'll fit perfectly in the Steel City.    Pick 15: New York Jets   [player_tooltip player_id='250050' first='JT' last='Brands'] | DT | Oakland-Craig | 6'2" 255 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13522421/JT-Brands" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/brands_jt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The defensive tackle duo of Quinnen Williams and [player_tooltip player_id='250050' first='JT' last='Brands'] is terrifying to think about. Brands is a monster DT that does a tremendous job shutting down the inside run and can collapse the pocket from the interior. He finished his junior season with 69 tackles, 12 TFLs, six sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. JT has to be among the strongest prospects in the state, and it shows on tape. JT has a powerful lower body that he uses to drive blockers off of their spot. He uses violent hands and has tons of explosiveness through his hips to help him shed blocks. JT has an insane pursuit of the ball and motor that just doesn't stop. Put Brands in a Mo Salah defense, and you could be looking at a DPOY.    Pick 16: Washington Commanders   [player_tooltip player_id='340508' first='Brady' last='McGill'] | QB | Roncalli Catholic | 6'4" 200 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15254558/Brady-McGill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/BradyMcGill3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Commanders are a team that is a QB away from being a legit playoff contender. Grabbing a guy like Roncalli Catholic QB [player_tooltip player_id='340508' first='Brady' last='McGill'], who stepped up big time in his junior season, would be a great move. What stood out to me about Brady's game was his ball placement and ability to lead his receivers. He does a good job moving off his first read if it's not there and making a quick decision with the ball. He has nice accuracy on deep balls and, surprisingly, on plays where he is rolling out or off balance. Brady is a great athlete that can also take off on the ground and has enough wiggle to make defenders miss. He ended the 2022 season with 1,849 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 315 rushing yards, and six rushing touchdowns. Brady is one of the big sleepers in this class and possesses a very high window.    Pick 17: New England Patriots   [player_tooltip player_id='407833' first='Donald' last='DeFrand Jr'] | CB | Lincoln | 6'1" 165 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14688318/Donald-DeFrand-Jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/DefrandJr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Getting a physical, tough cornerback like [player_tooltip player_id='407833' first='Donald' last='DeFrand Jr']. that likes press... in a Belichick defense?? Yes, please. In the real draft, we saw the Patriots move back to land their CB, and I like that move here, too, with Donald still on the board. DeFrand is a player that is going to battle you for the entirety of the game. He has great length, allowing him to press receivers at the line and disrupt the offensive tempo. Donald is smooth in his backpedal and can mirror defenders step for step. What stands out about Donald is that he's also a very willing tackler and has no problem stepping up to shut down outside runs or screens heading his way. Great overall speed and a menace in the return game.    Pick 18: Detroit Lions   [player_tooltip player_id='250623' first='Dash' last='Bauman'] | LB | Lincoln East | 6'3" 200 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16138030/Dash-Bauman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/DashBauman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   "Dan Campbell Pick." Lincoln East inside linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='250623' first='Dash' last='Bauman'] adds a fast, rangy, physical playmaker that can fire up a defense. Bauman has been excellent as the Spartan's inside linebacker and has posted the numbers to prove it with 77 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble during his junior year. His impact goes deeper than the stat sheet, though, with his ability to eliminate TEs, RBs, and slot receivers coming over the middle of the field with his coverage. He is quick to break on the ball when he keys the run and can meet the back with some heavy impact. He's very rangy and can close space on the ball carrier in a flash. Bauman never loses sight of the ball and always finds his way near the ball carrier. He added over 600 yards of offense as a RB/WR, to show his two-way prowess.    Pick 19: Tampa Bay Buccaneers   JR Lecuona | DL | Millard South | 6'3" 245 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14813369/JR-Lecuona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/JrLecuona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Bucs could have gone several different ways with this pick but beefing up the defensive line with a player like JR seems like a no-brainer. JR is a versatile prospect that can play anywhere on the defensive line and is equally productive against the run as he is rushing the QB. Lecuona has a great get-off and plays his gaps very well. He is explosive through his hands and hips, allowing him to shed blocks and make continue to apply pressure. JR also does a great job utilizing a variety of rush moves to win his 1v1s, winning as either a speed or power move. Lecuona is a player that has only gotten better and better with every passing season & postseason and is only starting to scratch the surface.    Pick 20: Seattle Seahawks   [player_tooltip player_id='245878' first='Travis' last='Hines II'] | CB | Papillion-La Vista | 6'1" 165 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14224174/Travis-Hines-II" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/TravisHines06" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Seahawks get their corner with their second pick and add a great physical player like [player_tooltip player_id='245878' first='Travis' last='Hines II'] across Tariq Wooley. Travis has been a big-time riser this offseason as he has continued honing his craft. Hines is silky smooth in coverage with excellent footwork and concentration on his opponent. Travis has a great change of direction with lots of fluidity in his hips. Very instinctual corner that seems to run the routes for receivers at some points. He loves to be physical at the line and when the ball is in play. Hines is very aggressive when the ball is in the air and has zero issues going up for it and making a play on it himself. Legion Of Boom pt. 2??    Pick 21: Los Angeles Chargers   [player_tooltip player_id='340486' first='Henry' last='Prochazka'] | EDGE| Elkhorn South | 6'4" 220 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14865255/Henry-Prochazka" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/HenryProchazka" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Chargers went offense in the actual draft, but I think adding a versatile, energetic defender like [player_tooltip player_id='340486' first='Henry' last='Prochazka'] is too good to pass up. Prochazka is a player that we have been big on here, with his tremendous upside and athleticism. Similar to teammate Joey Bosa, Henry can play a versatile role as a defensive end with outside linebacker/edge rusher capabilities. Prochazka has great length and can get solid bend coming off the edge. He's strong when shedding blockers and uses his hands violently to win his matchups. Henry fires off the ball and has an excellent motor that keeps him going through the whistle. Very scary duo down in LA.    Pick 22: Baltimore Ravens   [player_tooltip player_id='326866' first='DJ' last='Sterling'] | CB | Omaha Benson | 6'1" 160 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16892606/DJ-Sterling" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/dj_sterling8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Watch DJ play and watch the Ravens on defense... a match made in heaven here. The Ravens add a tough, physical press corner that can lock down opposing WR1s in [player_tooltip player_id='326866' first='DJ' last='Sterling']. Sterling could've got snagged up in the first round as a receiver too, but his savvy at CB is too much to pass up. He has the length you like to see in modern corners, with solid fluidity in his feet and hips. Sterling can stick right on his opponent's hip and maintains great hand/eye discipline. He's aggressive when the ball is in play and engages in hand-fighting to break up plays. Great 1-2 punch opposite Marlon Humphrey.    Pick 23: Minnesota Vikings   [player_tooltip player_id='340477' first='Jackson' last='Williams'] | WR | Millard West | 6'0"   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16054407/Jackson-X-Williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/JWilliams2828" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Could've gone several directions here, but adding a versatile weapon like [player_tooltip player_id='340477' first='Jackson' last='Williams'] would be huge for the offense. Jackson finished his junior season with 28 receptions for 711 receiving yards and scored a total of 11 touchdowns. Jackson is a dynamic player that can stretch the field with his vertical speed or take a quick reception for a big gain with his elusiveness and top-tier acceleration. Jackson is a player that allows you to extend the playbook and find creative ways to get him the ball, whether on sweeps, sending him in motion, etc., and let his playmaking ability shine. He adds extra value with his effectiveness as a returner. The duo of Justin Jefferson and [player_tooltip player_id='340477' first='Jackson' last='Williams'] is nightmare-worthy.    Pick 24: New York Giants   [player_tooltip player_id='250256' first='Beau' last='Ryan'] | LB | Omaha Westside | 5'11" 210 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13371602/Beau-Ryan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/beauryan_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Giants finally get much-needed talent in their LB group by adding one of the top linebackers in the state in [player_tooltip player_id='250256' first='Beau' last='Ryan']. Beau is a grinder on the field that plays with an intense motor and great instincts. He can play north-south, move sideline-to-sideline, and be seen near the ball on almost every play. He finished his season with 93 tackles, 15 TFLs, five sacks, a pick-six, and was hoisting the state championship at the season's end. Beau's ability to get into the backfield and wreak havoc has always stood out to me. He is smart with his gap play and can get violent with his hands if he does get picked up by a lineman. Ryan has overlooked quickness and agility, allowing him to run-down RBs and QBs on the run. Very explosive coming off the ball! Beau can provide some extra juice to a defense on the rise.    Pick 25: Buffalo Bills   [player_tooltip player_id='245849' first='Sebastien' last='Boyle'] | RB | Scottsbluff | 5'11" 215 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15029872/Sebastien-Boyle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/SebastienBoyle6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   One thing that has been a bit of a thorn in Buffalo's side in recent seasons is their lack of a consistent run game. They answer that need with a bruising back in [player_tooltip player_id='245849' first='Sebastien' last='Boyle'], who can take some of the ground game responsibility off of QB Josh Allen. Boyle has the size and power to bulldoze defenses in between the tackles while also possessing the speed and burst to break away in the second and third levels. He has an incredible balance that keeps him upright through contact, and can flip the field with just one quick cut. Boyle ended his junior season with 1,926 rushing yards and 26 rushing touchdowns, so he has proven production to go with his excellent skill set. Boyle gives the Bills offense a ground-and-pound back with home run ability on any given touch.    Pick 26: Dallas Cowboys   [player_tooltip player_id='340479' first='Joseph' last='Stein'] | TE | Grand Island Northwest | 6'6" 225 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14554090/Joseph-Stein" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Joseph_Stein_17" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Several mocks have the Cowboys taking a tight end here, and with a talent like [player_tooltip player_id='340479' first='Joseph' last='Stein'] available, I agree. Joseph is a quickly rising prospect, one of the state's more well-rounded tight ends. He hauled in 21 receptions for 227 yards and three receiving touchdowns during his junior year. Stein's presence gives QB Prescott a big, tough target over the middle of the field with an enormous catch radius. Stein is solid at the catch point and has the strength to hold on through contact. He's also great after the catch, with a strong lower body that keeps him running through tackle attempts and a nice burst when he turns upfield. He's also effective as an in-line tight end, with his physical blocking style and ability to seal up LBs. The addition of Stein rounds out a very good pass-catching group and adds a fantastic blocker up front.    Pick 27: Jacksonville Jaguars   [player_tooltip player_id='245889' first='Donovan' last='Jones'] | S | Omaha North | 6'0" 180 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14486760/Donovan-Jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/D1onovan4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   The Jags are a team only a few players away from being a true force in the NFL. Adding a safety like [player_tooltip player_id='245889' first='Donovan' last='Jones'] who can do everything from playing in coverage to stepping into the box would be a huge gain. Jones is physical safety that loves putting his nose to the ball and making tough tackles when he gets to man. Donovan has a great football IQ with the ability to read, diagnose, and break on the ball within moments. He finished his junior season with 42 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, 7 pass breakups, and two interceptions. Gritty player that would thrive in any environment.    Pick 28: Cincinnati Bengals   [player_tooltip player_id='245883' first='Gunnar' last='Lym'] | S | Bennington | 6'0" 175 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17241544/Gunnar-Lym" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/gunnarlym2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Safety is a massive need for the Bengals, who saw both Jessie Bates III and Vonn Bell leave in free agency. Bennington's ball-hawking safety [player_tooltip player_id='245883' first='Gunnar' last='Lym'] is a smart, instinctive player that can step right up and perform at a high level, just as he's done since his sophomore year. Lym racked up 92 tackles, a tackle for loss, 4 interceptions, a pick-six, and a kick and punt return for a touchdown. He is fluid in coverage with the range to go sideline-to-sideline, quick change of direction, and closing space. Lym is one of the top ball-hawking players in the state with the ball skills to end up with a takeaway or pass breakup. He tracks the ball very well. Great tackler with sound technique! Underrated game speed.    Pick 29: New Orleans Saints   [player_tooltip player_id='250054' first='Jonquel' last='Osler'] | DE | Omaha Westside | 6'0" 225 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13618495/Jonquel-Osler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/jonquelosler9">Twitter</a>   Several options for the Saints here, but picking up an explosive defensive playmaker like Jonquel seems like the best move. Jonquel gives the Saints a player that can wreak havoc on the DL with his ability to play the run and terrorize quarterbacks. He capped off a championship season with 72 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and three sacks. One thing that pops out to me about Jonquel is his get-off. He is super quick off the ball and is very good at threading his way between linemen to get into the backfield. He knows how to use his hands very well and has shown the ability to convert speed to power. He had a few plays lined up as a stand-up edge rusher, which is really intriguing to me.    Pick 30: Philadelphia Eagles   [player_tooltip player_id='516764' first='Kevon' last='Newsome'] | LB | Omaha Benson | 6'1" 215 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16603511/Kevon-Newsome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/KevonNewsome8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   Great depth addition for the Eagles here as they get one of the top linebacker prospects in the class. [player_tooltip player_id='516764' first='Kevon' last='Newsome'] is a production machine that led Class A in tackles with 130 tackles, also adding 10 TFLs, three sacks, and three interceptions to the stat sheet. Newsome finds ways to make plays on the field, whether it be in coverage or as a run defender. He plays physical, hard-hitting football when going downhill against the run and can leave a mark when he gets to the ball. He has long arms for a linebacker and uses that length very well to shed blocks and when making a play on the ball in coverage. The rich get richer with this pick!    Pick 31: Kansas City Chiefs   [player_tooltip player_id='250273' first='Jayden' last='Potter'] | OT | Lincoln North Star | 6'6" 290 lbs   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18230635/Jayden-Potter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/JaydenPotter10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>   All may seem well and good coming off of a Super Bowl victory for the Chiefs, but key losses to free agency opened up some big needs. They address their offensive line with the 31st pick and give Pat Mahomes some needed protection at tackle with [player_tooltip player_id='250273' first='Jayden' last='Potter']. Jayden has been a steady riser this offseason in both recruitment and in his development. Potter is a strong, sturdy left tackle that excels as a pass protector. He has great mobility for someone his size with great lateral movement and can also move up to the second and third levels.    <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   Make sure to follow @PrepRedzoneNE on Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date with all your Nebraska prep recruiting news.
