Analysis of every pick | Updated depth chart
Round 1, No. 28 overall: Tyleik Williams, DT, Ohio State
My take: There's a possibility starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill could miss the beginning of 2025 as he recovers from a torn ACL that ended his season last year, so drafting Williams gives the team a security blanket at the position.
