  • New Orleans Saints

Bolstering the defense is a top priority for the Saints' front office this offseason, and they are still without a true succession plan for Cameron Jordan's absence. Bain Jr. gives them immediate help there, with the possibility to develop into a game-wrecking edge defender. The fit here is straightforward enough; it's just a matter of whether or not they pull the trigger

  • Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City is in desperate need of pass rush production, so drafting Bain Jr. would be a slam dunk on paper. Their defensive front will need to be addressed if their secondary remains in a similar position, and the Miami star is expected to be the premier pass rusher left at this pick.

  • Washington Commanders

Bain Jr. fits exactly what Dan Quinn looks for in defensive players, and the Commanders could take him at No. 7 simply because they might feel that they can't pass up on a pass rusher. Any defensive piece would be welcome, so it's no question that his name could be called in this spot.
