On April 23rd, fans are fired up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first round pick at number 15 in just two days, and PFSN's mock draft simulator shows what they're thinking. The runaway favorite position is defensive end, picked 43.7% of the time. Auburn's Celtic Falk tops the list at 21.7% with his versatility shining through four pass breakups and a 35-inch vertical. Falk was a third team all SEC captain for Auburn last year, holding down the line on a tough season. Right behind him, Miami's Akeem Missedor got 16.1% of the nods. He and team A Rubin Bane Jr. wrecked shop up front, powering Miami to the national championship game. Missedor's a pure pass rush beast, tying for third in the FBS with 12.5 sacks, fifth in tackles for loss at 17.5, and sixth in, forced fumbles with four. Analysts love his motor and toolbox of moves for constant disruption.

But the most picked single player, Oregon tied in Kenyon Sadeek, edging Falk at 21.8%, making tied in the number two position overall. This second team all-American led FBS tied in with eight touchdowns and set a school record with 51 catches averaging 11 yards. With defense screaming as the bigger need and mocks all season, Bucks fans lean edge to fix the line, though Sadeek's flash could tempt new O.C. Zach. Robinson will see how it shakes out Thursday night. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with the story.
