Round 1
| PICK | TEAM | NAME | POSITION | SCHOOL | HEIGHT | WEIGHT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  |
Baker Mayfield | QB | Oklahoma | 6’0″ | 216 |
| With the recent news, it looks like Baker is on his way to the Browns. Browns get their future quarterback to build around, but leave the best QB in the draft on the board. At least they didn’t make the mistake of taking Josh Allen. With 4 picks in the top 35, Cleveland could be on the brink of turning the corner. | ||||||
| 2 |  |
Saquon Barkley | RB | Penn St. | 6’0″ | 233 |
| The Giants get another weapon to use on offense. Barkley is a blue chip player who the offense will be built around for years to come. Eli Manning is 37 years old and there is no long term replacement so Sam Darnold could be an option. But I think the Giants want another playmaker and end up going with Barkley. | ||||||
| 3 |  |
Sam Darnold | QB | USC | 6’3″ | 221 |
| Jets traded up in order to secure a top notch quarterback. I’m sure they were not anticipating Darnold being here, but they somehow end up with the best quarterback in the draft. Someone could hop the Jets with a trade for the second pick with the Giants in order to secure Darnold. In that scenario, I believe they would select Rosen and still be happy. | ||||||
| 4 | |
Bradley Chubb | DE | NC State | 6’4″ | 269 |
| They locked up their franchise with the first pick and acquire a blue chip player Bradley Chubb. The combination of Chubb and Garrett at defensive end should be a nightmare to opposing offensive lines. | ||||||
| 5 |  |
Josh Allen | QB | Wyoming | 6’5″ | 238 |
| I believe that in this scenario Denver would probably trade back, most likely with Buffalo. However, I believe that quarterback could still be in play. Josh Allen has a lot of the qualities John Elway looks for in a quarterback and could be the call here. | ||||||
| 6 |  |
Roquan Smith | ILB | Georgia | 6’1″ | 236 |
| Colts have one of the worst rosters in the NFL. Roquan Smith is a talented player that could be a cornerstone to the Colts defense. He’s a three down player who could be an instant impact player on this defense. | ||||||
| 7 |  |
Denzel Ward | CB | Ohio St. | 5’11” | 183 |
| Brent Grimes is 34 and Hargreaves is a better nickel cornerback. Denzel Ward is by far the most talented corner in this years draft and could go as high as 4. Ward gives Tampa Bay some depth and talent at corner. | ||||||
| 8 |  |
Quenton Nelson | OG | Notre Dame | 6’5″ | 325 |
| The Bears moved on from Josh Sitton at guard, and Nelson would be an immediate starter on the line. Having Nelson fall this far would be a tremendous win for the Bears as a great match between talent and need. | ||||||
| 9 |  |
Minkah Fitzpatrick | S | Alabama | 6’0″ | 204 |
| The 49ers have one of the best players in the draft fall to them thanks to the amount of quarterbacks taken. John Lynch loves big school talent and I believe will pick Fitzpatrick with this pick. 49ers are in a shaky position at linebacker with Reuben Foster so Tremaine Edmunds could be an option here. | ||||||
| 10 |  |
Tremaine Edmunds | OLB | Virginia Tech | 6’5″ | 253 |
| The Raiders need an upgrade at weakside linebacker. Edmunds is only 19 years old and extremely athletic. The addition of Edmunds improves this defense right away. | ||||||
| 11 |  |
Josh Rosen | QB | UCLA | 6’4″ | 226 |
| A great scenario where a good quarterback falls right in the Dolphins lap. The Dolphins are in a prime position to add a quarterback of the future either by moving up or hoping one falls. In this instance, Rosen is the Dolphins answer at quarterback. | ||||||
| 12 |  |
Leighton Vander Esch | OLB | Boise St. | 6’4″ | 256 |
| Vänder Esch is a late riser in this draft and is a perfect fit with the Bills. The Bills need an upgrade at the outside linebacker position. Vander Esch is an athletic, tackling machine that could be an impact player at the next level | ||||||
| 13 |  |
Vita Vea | DT | Washington | 6’4″ | 347 |
| The Redskins went defensive line last year with Jonathan Allen, but it still remains a need. Vea is one of my favorite players in the draft as a strong, athletic freak that man handles offensive lineman. The addition of Vea turns the Redskins defensive line from a weakness to a strength. | ||||||
| 14 |  |
Joshua Jackson | CB | Iowa | 6’0″ | 196 |
| Green Bay’s secondary is by far the biggest need. While Calvin Ridley does look like an attractive option to pair with Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, and Jimmy Graham, improving the defense is the biggest concern. Joshua Jackson was a ballhawk at Iowa and could step into this secondary right away. Moving up for Minkah Fitzpatrick could also be a viable option. | ||||||
| 15 |  |
Calvin Ridley | WR | Alabama | 6’1″ | 189 |
| The Cardinals will be looking for a quarterback at some point in the draft to replace retired Carson Palmer, but receiver also remains a need. With the number 1 receiver still on the board the Cardinals take a chance at trying to find Larry Fitzgerald’s future replacement. | ||||||
| 16 |  |
Marcus Davenport | DE | UTSA | 6’6″ | 259 |
| Terrell Suggs is not getting any younger. Davenport is a little bit of a project on the edge, but is exactly what you look for as a 3-4 edge rusher with his length. I believe Ozzie Newsome takes a chance at a potential great pass rusher with this pick. | ||||||
| 17 |  |
Derwin James | S | Florida St. | 6’2″ | 215 |
| A dream scenario for the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers corner position is highly talented, but the safety position needs a major overhaul. Derwin James is a highly talented safety. If James isn’t there, an offensive lineman is probably the most likely option. | ||||||
| 18 |  |
Connor Williams | OT | Texas | 6’5″ | 296 |
| The Seahawks offensive line needs an overhaul. Williams played left tackle at Texas, but could possibly be kicked inside to guard. A versatile offensive lineman is exactly what Seattle needs. | ||||||
| 19 |  |
Da’ron Payne | DT | Alabama | 6’3″ | 311 |
| Dallas lacks depth on the interior defensive line. Payne has star potential, but will need to improve his consistency. A wide receiver is a possibility, but there doesn’t seem to be a receiver worth the 19th pick in this draft. | ||||||
| 20 |  |
Taven Bryan | DT | Florida | 6’5″ | 291 |
| The Lions hit on the draft two years ago with A’Shawn Robinson at defensive tackle. They could try that again with Bryan. Bryan has a high upside and is more of a pass rusher. He is a boom or bust prospect that could booster this Lions defensive line. | ||||||
| 21 |  |
Rashaan Evans | ILB | Alabama | 6’2″ | 232 |
| Vontaze Burfict is suspended for four games and the Bengals need to revamp their linebacking core. Evans is a versatile linebacker who shouldn’t drop below here. Evans and Bengals would be a great match. | ||||||
| 22 | |
Lamar Jackson | QB | Louisville | 6’2″ | 216 |
| Yes he is a QB. Given the chance, Lamar could be a very successful NFL starter. He has a lot of zip in his passes, but will need to improve his intermediate accuracy. Lamar is going to be a matchup nightmare for defensive coordinators when he gets a shot to start. | ||||||
| 23 |  |
Mike McGlinchey | OT | Notre Dame | 6’8″ | 309 |
| The Patriots have a major need at left tackle after Nate Solder left. Mike McGlinchey is one of the top tackles in a weak class and could be a potential starting left tackle on this team. | ||||||
| 24 |  |
Jaire Alexander | CB | Louisville | 5’10” | 196 |
| The Panthers need some star power at the cornerback position opposite of James Bradberry. Jaire is one of the best corners in the draft and also adds return ability for the Panthers. | ||||||
| 25 |  |
Harold Landry | OLB | Boston College | 6’2″ | 252 |
| The Titans need pass rushers on the defense. Having Landry fall all the way to 25 would be a perfect scenario for a defense that needs to improve. | ||||||
| 26 |  |
Maurice Hurst | DT | Michigan | 6’1″ | 292 |
| The Falcons lost Dontari Poe to the Carolina Panthers. Therefore defensive tackle is one of the Falcons biggest needs. Maurice Hurst is an incredibly quick 3 technique that could compete for time early. The Falcons will hope he can have the same kind of success as Grady Jarrett. | ||||||
| 27 |  |
Hayden Hurst | TE | South Carolina | 6’5″ | 250 |
| The Saints lost out on getting Jimmy Graham back and Coby Fleener has not lived up to his free agent contract. Hayden Hurst is an athletic and versatile tight end that could fit the Saints need. | ||||||
| 28 |  |
Mike Hughes | CB | UCF | 5’10” | 189 |
| The secondary for the Steelers is the weakness of the team. Mike Hughes would help out this unit along with possibly the return game as well. | ||||||
| 29 |  |
Isaiah Wynn | OG | Georgia | 6’3″ | 308 |
| The Jags defense is very good. The offense is the thing holding the team back. Wynn gives the Jaguars a plug and play guard that will help bolster the offensive line. | ||||||
| 30 |  |
James Daniels | C | Iowa | 6’3″ | 306 |
| The Vikings got a steal last year in Ohio State Center Pat Elflein. Adding James Daniels could push the Vikings interior line to the next level. Elflein or Daniels could be moved to guard. | ||||||
| 31 | |
Isaiah Oliver | CB | Colorado | 6’0″ | 201 |
| As seen in the Super Bowl, the secondary needs some help. Isaiah Oliver is a highly athletic corner with good ball skills. With Malcolm Butler moving on to the Titans, Isaiah Oliver could start opposite of Stephon Gilmore. | ||||||
| 32 |  |
Ronnie Harrison | S | Alabama | 6’2″ | 207 |
