Here's how we think the first two rounds looks as things stand now.1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Florida State QB Jameis WinstonHead coach Lovie Smith says he's OK with Winston's character, which would be the only real roadblock to welcoming him in the building. Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter won't have to dig deep in his playbook to find a system that fits Winston's skills, having coached similar physical types in Byron Leftwich and Matt Ryan in Jacksonville and Atlanta, respectively.

Round 1, Pick 31
CB, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama

Kool-Aid McKinstry is one of the best outside corners in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Pro Football Focus' Trevor Sikkema unveiled his latest mock draft this week and has the San Francisco 49ers addressing the offensive line. Specifically, Sikkema suggests the team seeks a potential replacement for Colton McKivitz at right tackle.
In Sikkema's projection, the Niners select former Georgia offensive lineman Amarius Mims with the No. 31 overall pick. The analyst views him as an ideal addition to an offensive front that was untouched in free agency—apart from ensuring continuity among last season's starters.
"Mims has one of the craziest builds you will have ever seen — in a good way
