Round 1
- Cleveland Browns- Myles Garrett, EDGE, Texas A&M
Garrett is the best player in the draft and can turn the Browns front seven into a dangerous group.
- San Francisco 49ers- Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford
This pick will influence the entire draft. Solomon Thomas gives the 49ers a defensive line to build around by pairing him with DeForest Buckner.
- Chicago Bears- Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
The Bears have one of the worst cornerback groups in the NFL. The only knock on Lattimore is his hamstring issues. He has the athleticism, ball skills, and fluidity to be great.
- Jacksonville Jaguars- Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
The Jaguars defense has been built well, not it’s time for the offense to be put together. Fournette can be their bell cow and give the offense someone to rely on.
- Tennessee Titans (from Los Angeles Rams)- Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
The Titans best option is to trade back; otherwise, they need a playmaker. Williams physicality is reminiscent of Dez Bryant. He gives Marcus Mariota someone who will fight for the ball in the air.
- New York Jets- Jamal Adams, S, LSU
The Jets need a culture changing player and Adams is praised for his leadership ability. He’s a dynamic box safety that can also make plays in coverage.
- Los Angeles Chargers- Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
The Chargers defense is on the verge of being special, they just need a playmaker on the backend. Hooker fits perfectly as the high safety in LA with his elite range and ball skills.
- Carolina Panthers- Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama
The Panthers can’t overdraft an offensive lineman here and can wait to take a running back later. Allen is the best player available and brings versatility and a dominant interior rusher to their defense.
- Cincinnati Bengals- Derek Barnett, EDGE, Tennessee
Derek Barnett isn’t the best athlete on the edge, but he was dominant in the SEC for three years. His abilities to bend the edge and use his hands as a pass rusher are badly needed in Cincinnati.
- Buffalo Bills- OJ Howard, TE, Alabama
Aside from Sammy Watkins, the Bills don’t have any reliable pass catchers. Howard can play on the outside, in the slot, and in-line. He gives Tyrod Taylor a big reliable target.
- New Orleans Saints- Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Defensively New Orleans needs a lot of help. Conley is the best bump and run man cornerback in the draft.
Writers note: Conley has since been accused of rape and will likely go undrafted.
- Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia Eagles)- Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Cleveland hasn’t had a reliable quarterback in decades. Watson isn’t the best QB in the class, but his poise and natural leadership ability can lead a culture change in Cleveland. He’s also ideal for Hue Jackson’s offense.
- Arizona Cardinals- Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Larry Fitzgerald is aging and Arizona needs more playmakers at receiver. Davis gives them a target that can play inside or out while running reliable clean routes.
- Philadelphia Eagles (from Minnesota Vikings)- Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
Philadelphia needs playmakers to help in the development of Carson Wentz. McCaffrey is a perfect fit for this offense with his dynamic running style and playmaking ability as a receiver.
- Indianapolis Colts- Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama
Reuben Foster is a top ten player, but off-field questions will drive his stock down. The Colts can’t afford not to take him. They need his sideline-to-sideline playmaking ability on their defense.
- Baltimore Ravens- John Ross III, WR, Washington
Steve Smith Sr. retired and the Ravens have no trustworthy receivers on their roster. John Ross is a dominant deep threat who runs clean routes and tracks the ball like DeSean Jackson.
- Washington Redskins- Malik McDowell, DL, Michigan State
More than anything Washington needs a defensive lineman. McDowell is a top 20 talent with attitude issues. His perfect fit as a 5-technique in Washington could outweigh the headaches he will cause in the locker room.
- Tennessee Titans- Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU
Tennessee has more questions than answers at cornerback, they need to address the position early. Tre White has fantastic instincts and feet. His lack of size may force him to play nickel, but he is well worth a top 20 pick.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
Doug Martin’s career in Tampa Bay seems to be in doubt. Dalvin Cook is Jamal Charles 2.0 and if not for off-field questions he would be a top 15 pick. Cook can take pressure off Jameis Winston and open up the Bucs offense.
- Denver Broncos- Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
The clear problem in Denver is their offensive line. Cam Robinson may not have the feet to survive in the NFL as a left tackle, but a nice fallback plan is kicking him inside to be a Pro Bowl guard.
- Detroit Lions- Haason Reddick, LB, Temple
Detroit had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season. They need to take a defensive difference maker. Haason Reddick can play weakside linebacker for them. He’s a great athlete with natural coverage ability, he can even blitz off the edge.
- Miami Dolphins- Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky
Miami began their build from the trenches last year by drafting Laremy Tunsil. This year they take the most pro-ready offensive lineman in the draft. Forrest Lamp can be an All-Pro guard, similar to Zack Martin in Dallas.
- New York Giants- David Njoku, TE, Miami
Tight end has been a position of need for the Giants since Jeremy Shockey. Taking the raw, but athletic Njoku can open up the field for Odell Beckham Jr. Njoku has one of the highest ceilings in the draft.
- Oakland Raiders- Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
Oakland has a playoff roster with one major glaring hole, the linebacker position. Cunningham isn’t the biggest name in the draft, but he’s a big and athletic middle linebacker. If he can learn to control his play speed he has the makeup of a great player.
- Houston Texans- Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
It’s hard to believe in a first round quarterback that only started one season, but the Texans desperately need someone under center. Trubisky is very accurate and has impressive mobility. He can be the Alex Smith the Texans need at QB.
- Seattle Seahawks- Obi Melifonwu, DB, UCONN
Seattle loves long and athletic defensive backs. Melifonwu is 6’4” and the most athletic DB to come out since Byron Jones. He is a perfect fit opposite Richard Sherman as a press zone cornerback.
- Kansas City Chiefs- Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
Kansas City is a playoff team with a quarterback that isn’t good enough to win a Super Bowl. Mahomes is a completely different player than Alex Smith. He has a cannon arm and loves to ad lib. Andy Reid can develop him and eventually build an offense for him.
- Dallas Cowboys- Takkarist McKinley, EDGE, UCLA
Dallas has no reliable edge rushers and its time that changed. McKinley has the arm length and athleticism to be a stud pass rusher. He’s extremely raw and needs a lot of coaching to reach his potential, he’s perfect for Rod Marinelli to mold.
- Green Bay Packers- Kevin King, CB, Washington
Green Bay had a blatant problem at cornerback last season. With the depth at the position in this class, they’ll likely address it. King fits what the Packers like in a corner, tall and athletic.
- Pittsburgh Steelers- Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan
Peppers is either positionless or versatile, depending on how a team views him. The Steelers can use him as a box safety and a nickel linebacker. Pairing him with second-year safety Sean Davis adds a ton of versatility and athleticism to their backend.
- Atlanta Falcons- Ryan Ramczyk, OG, Wisconsin
Ramczyk is an all-around solid offensive lineman that can play right tackle or guard right away. For the Falcons he’s the perfect plug and play player at right guard. Continuing to build their offensive line is the right move for the Falcons.
- New Orleans Saints (from New England Patriots)- Charles Harris, EDGE, Missouri
New Orleans defensive line is starting to come together with Cam Jordan, Nick Fairley, and Sheldon Rankins. By adding another pass rusher, it can carry their defense. Harris is the perfect complimentary pass rusher with a tool box of rush moves.

I HATE Jabrill Peppers in the 1st and I think they would (or more should) go with Marlon Humphrey or Quincy Wilson. I absolutely LOVE Jordan Willis in the 2nd with Douglas and Kittle in the 3rd. I think Biegel in the 7th is good value but I am really down on Malichi Dupree. Besides the Steelers, I think the Packers got a steal in Aaron Jones. Dudes going to be a solid change of pace back at the worst.
PS. MAHOMES #1
When your team drafts Zach Cunningham and Chris Wormley in the first two rounds and you get sad but then you get Wayne Gallman and Ryan Switzer in the 4th and 5th and you’re slightly happier…..
