The Eagles take pride in having a strong defensive line, and Madubuike has become an impact big man during his time with the Ravens.
The Browns' investment in Watson leads me to think he would be their pick in any draft.
Assuming Cousins is healthy to begin the season, he and Miami’s first-round pick in this exercise, Justin Jefferson, reunite to lead an efficient yet potent offense.

Mayfield started four games for the Rams late in the 2022 season after he was released by the Panthers, and his stint in Los Angeles seemed to give him a confidence boost. So, it makes sense L.A. would pick him in this scenario after his strong 2023 in Tampa Bay.
Daniels' ability to make plays with his legs and his improvement as a pocket passer at LSU last season should intrigue the Colts.
