John Daigle mocked South Carolina safety Nick Emanwori to Baltimore at pick 27, explaining the Ravens transformed from league‑worst to elite versus the pass after moving Kyle Hamilton to slot—but still need a deep‑middle eraser. Emanwori’s 6'4", 218‑lb frame, 33‑inch arms, and SEC‑best 10 PBUs offer that solution. He ran a 4.48 forty and posted a 9.19 RAS, drawing Cam Chancellor comps. Daigle said Emanwori and Hamilton would form the NFL’s rangiest safety duo and recommended betting Emanwori first‑round yes (+180) and Ravens‑exact‑player markets. IDP gamers can chase 80‑tackle rookie volume behind Baltimore’s blitz‑heavy front.

John Daigle locked in Michigan DT Kenneth Grant to the Chargers at pick 22, noting Jim Harbaugh’s public preference for ‘his guys’ and the franchise’s league‑worst 5.4 yards per carry allowed. Grant’s 350‑lb frame produced a 4.97 forty and 1.65 ten‑yard split—numbers on par with Vita Vea—while his 11.6% pressure rate topped every interior defender in the Big Ten. Daigle said the Chargers had only two defensive players visit on top‑30s: Grant and Colts‑bound Colston Loveland, underscoring the connection. Betting angles: Grant under 29.5 and ‘first interior DL after Mason Graham’ at +300. Dynasty managers should upgrade LA’s DST and consider Justin Herbert stacks safer with more potential short‑field opportunities.

John Daigle predicted Dallas will choose Texas wideout Matthew Golden over Tet McMillan, citing Jerry Jones’s history of favoring marketable in‑state stars. Golden averaged 3.11 yards per route in Steve Sarkisian’s offense and recorded a 41‑inch vertical at 209 lbs, traits that mirror CeeDee Lamb’s pre‑draft profile. With Lamb’s extension looming and Brandin Cooks on an expiring deal, Daigle sees Dallas locking in a cost‑controlled WR2. Jersey sales narrative aside, he highlighted Golden’s 82% success rate versus man coverage and 11 career TDs on deep posts—routes Dak Prescott ranks top‑five in EPA. Bettors can attack Golden as first WR drafted at +400 and under 15.5 pick props.

John Daigle narrowed New York’s decision to Tyler Warren versus offensive line but ultimately believes they will select Texas LT Kelvin Banks at No. 7. Banks is a 21‑year‑old former five‑star with the longest wingspan in the class and projects as a true blind‑side protector, whereas Armand Membou profiles better on the right. Daigle noted OL was even‑money earlier but steamed to –150, and there was 6‑to‑1 available on Banks as second OL off the board—value he still likes. For futures bettors: OL to Jets and Banks top‑10 props; for Breece Hall/Garrett Wilson managers: a blind‑side upgrade boosts offensive efficiency.

John Daigle called Travis Hunter to Cleveland a "stone‑cold lock." He cited Adam Schefter’s latest report and Andrew Berry’s press conference where the GM fielded five straight Hunter questions and compared him to Shohei Ohtani for two‑way ability. Daigle said internal Browns intel points to Hunter playing "almost a full‑time wide receiver" role despite his cornerback pedigree, and ETR’s forthcoming best‑ball rankings will project him that way. Bettors can lean into Hunter’s heavy favorite status for pick No. 2 overall, while dynasty/season‑long gamers should value him as a high‑volume rookie wideout rather than a gadget defender.
