* **Jaguars:** Selecting defensive lineman Jaquelin Graham to address their defensive line needs.
* **Raiders:** Selecting Ashton Jeanty to bolster their running game under new head coach Pete Carroll.
* **Jets:** Taking Jaren Hall, hoping he or Justin Fields, signed as a veteran QB, will lead them to the playoffs.
