notes |
1 |
San Francisco 49ers  |
Nick Bosa |
Edge |
Ohio State |
The 49ers are desperate for a difference maker on either side of the ball. They prefer offense but in this draft defense dominates and Nick Bosa will give the 49ers a competitive pass rush instantly. |
2 |
Arizona Cardinals  |
Quinnen Williams |
DT |
Alabama |
Williams gives the Cardinals the defensive push they need, with Chandler Jones and now Williams solidifying the defensive line, the Cardinals can now focus on the offensive side of the ball throughout the draft. |
3 |
Oakland Raiders  |
Ed Oliver |
DT |
Houston |
The Raiders currently have two DT on the last year of their contract. Oliver is a best option to fill that hole for the Raiders Defense. |
4 |
NY Giants  |
Justin Herbert |
QB |
Oregon |
I think Herbert will come out this year, I also think he will go 1 or 2 in this draft because there is always a team willing to trade the farm for a QB and a good chance exists that this team is the Giants. |
5 |
NY Jets  |
Jonah Williams |
OT |
Alabama |
Jonah Williams is a plug and play T or G. This is smart move for the Jets who have been drafting defense early in previous seasons. Look for the Jets to invest in Sam Darnold in a weak offensive draft class. |
6 |
Buffalo Bills  |
Noah Fant |
TE |
Iowa |
The Bills have no choice other than address the offensive side of the ball. With Jonah Williams off the board they reach for a play-maker at TE. Fant can be a match up nightmare with his rare size and speed combination. The focus is the development of Josh Allen and Fant contributes to his development right away. |
7 |
Jacksonville Jaguars  |
Drew Lock |
QB |
Missouri |
The Jaguars are completely stacked with expensive defensive talent, yet they cant win games because of the QB situation. We seen this before and the Jags reach for Lock and sign a veteran QB to become competitive once again. |
8 |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers  |
Greedy Williams |
CB |
LSU |
Back to the best available. With Brett Grimes most likely finished in Tampa the Bucs fill his shoes with a cornerstone CB. In this draft teams will be forced to take defense because the talent is too good to pass. |
9 |
Cleveland Browns  |
N’Keal Harry |
WR |
Arizona st |
Odds are the Browns will bring in an offensive mind and common sense tells us that a weapon like N’keal Harry will help Baker Mayfield reach the next level. Offense is dominating the NFL and it shows in this draft. |
10 |
Detroit Lions  |
Clelin Ferrell |
Edge |
Clemson |
With Ezikeial Ansah being franchised tagged this past year, it will be interesting to see if he gets resigned in Detroit. Even if he does the Lions need help rushing the passer and now help has arrived. |
11 |
Atlanta Falcons  |
Jeffery Simmons |
DT |
Mississippi State |
The Falcons have needs all over the defensive side of the ball and the biggest hole is DT. Simmons will help Bruce Irvin and Vic Beasley get to the QB moving forward. |
12 |
Denver Broncos  |
Rashan Gary |
DT |
Michigan |
The Broncos would love to go offensive line here but there is just not enough value, so they address another need on the defensive front 7. |
13 |
Philadelphia Eagles  |
Devin White |
LB |
LSU |
The Eagles will need help on defense after this season. Luckily for them Devin White falls to them at 13. White will contribute to coverage all over the field. |
14 |
Green Bay Packers  |
Deionte Thompson |
FS |
Alabama |
Packers go best available knowing they have another pick from New Orleans later in round 1. |
15 |
Indianapolis Colts  |
Josh Allen |
Edge |
Kentucky |
The Colts take a pass rusher in a heavy defense draft. Look for them to address the WR position in round 2. |
16 |
Miami Dolphins  |
Jachai Polite |
EDGE |
Florida |
The Dolphins could go a lot of different directions here. I expect them to address the QB position in free agency, and the Oline in later rounds, but right now they fill Cameron Wake’s shoes. |
17 |
Oakland Raiders (via Cowboys)  |
A.J. Brown |
WR |
Mississippi |
It’s a passing league and its time to get with the program. Gruden take AJ Brown who could easily turn out to be the best play-maker in the draft. |
18 |
Tennessee Titans  |
Montez Sweat |
EDGE |
Mississippi State |
The Titans have needs at DT and OLB and this draft is pack full of talent in both positions. Best Available. |
19 |
Seattle Seahawks  |
Byron Murphy |
CB |
Washington |
Good chance this guy goes higher, but for the Seahawks the stars align. Seattle also has many needs on defense. |
20 |
Cincinnati Bengals  |
Mack Wilson |
LB |
Alabama |
With Vey and Brown on the last year of their contract, we will see a changing of the guard at ILB for the Bengals. |
21 |
Baltimore Ravens  |
Brian Burns |
EDGE |
Florida State |
With Suggs likely done in Baltimore, the Ravens will be looking for a pass rusher. |
22 |
Minnesota Vikings  |
Dexter Lawrence |
DT |
Clemson |
This draft is stacked with DT talent. What a great time to have a DT need like the Vikings. There is still a ton of talented DTs on the board. |
23 |
Washington Redskins  |
Kelvin Harmon |
WR |
NC State |
It only takes one GM to fall in love with a guy and I predict many GMs to fall in love with this guy in a weak WR class. |
24 |
Houston Texans  |
Greg Little |
OT |
Mississippi |
The Texans are in a good position to take the best available but why not take the best true Tackle in the draft. |
25 |
Carolina Panthers  |
Zach Allen |
EDGE |
Boston College |
Carolina will need to address the defensive line early to remain competitive in a tough division. |
26 |
Oakland Raiders (via Bears)  |
Deandre Baker |
CB |
Georgia |
Things are starting to form for the Oakland Raiders as they now have play-makers on offense and defense. |
27 |
Los Angeles Chargers  |
Christian Wilkins |
DT |
Clemson |
Believe it or not there is still a lot of DT talent on the board. |
28 |
New England Patriots  |
Marquise Brown |
WR |
Oklahoma |
I don’t know what the Patriots will do and neither does anyone else, but they have an aging offense that cannot be ignored. |
29 |
Pittsburgh Steelers  |
Raekwon Davis |
DT |
Alabama |
Finally Davis comes off the board, the Steelers might go RB here but they simply cant ignore Davis’s abilities. |
30 |
Green Bay Packers (via Saints)  |
Devin Bush |
LB |
Michigan |
The Packers stick to the defensive side of the football as they like their up and coming offense. |
31 |
Kansas City Chiefs  |
Julian Love |
CB |
Notre Dame |
The Chiefs will look to maintain their high flying offense this off-season but they need to address the secondary early. |
32 |
Los Angeles Rams  |
Derrick Brown |
DT |
Auburn |
The Rams have few needs outside of Guard and DT. The guard position will open up later in the draft so take the best available DT like 7 other teams did. |
