PICK1
Sam Darnold - QB, USC
Darnold is the best QB in the draft.
PICK 2
Josh Rosen - QB, UCLA
The
Giants land the most pro-ready QB in the draft.
PICK 3
Saquon Barkley - RB, Penn State
Andrew Luck gets a dominant runner.
PICK 4
Minkah Fitzpatrick - DB, Alabama
A versatile talent who can play CB or S.
PICK 5
Marcus Davenport - OLB, UTSA
Davenport is an excellent pass rusher; best as a 3-4 OLB.
PICK 6
Baker Mayfield - QB, Oklahoma
Will Mayfield have the best NFL career of any QB in this class?
PICK 7
Bradley Chubb - DE, N.C. State
Improving the pass rush is a major need for Tampa Bay.
PICK 8
Calvin Ridley - WR, Alabama
The
Bears get
Mitchell Trubisky a weapon with this pick.
PICK 9
Denzel Ward - CB, Ohio State
With Bradley Chubb off the board, the
49ers fill their next biggest need on defense.
PICK 9
Tremaine Edmunds - LB, Virginia Tech
Edmunds is the best all-around LB in the draft.
PICK 11
Roquan Smith - LB, Georgia
Smith's an excellent athlete who excels in coverage.
PICK 12
Quenton Nelson - OG, Notre Dame
The
Bengals land the best player in the draft. They bypass a bigger need at OT to get Nelson.
PICK 13
Vita Vea - DT, Washington
With Vea and
Jonathan Allen, the D-line all of a sudden becomes a strength of the team.
PICK 14
Mike Hughes - CB, UCF
Hughes is a versatile CB who can play both off and press coverage.
PICK 15
Josh Allen - QB, Wyoming
Allen will be the fourth QB off the board. Arizona would do cartwheels if he were still available here. Someone will probably trade up to get him, and maybe Arizona will be the team to do it.
PICK 16
Mike McGlinchey - OT, Notre Dame
This gives the
Ravens a bookend OT with
Ronnie Stanley.
PICK 17
Rashaan Evans - LB, Alabama
A DT is also a possibility here.
PICK 18
Arden Key - DE, LSU
With questions about whether
Michael Bennett and
Cliff Avril will be with the
Seahawks next season, a pass rusher will be needed.
PICK 19
Taven Bryan - DT, Florida
Bryan has excellent upfield quickness. He fits Rod Marinelli's scheme.
PICK 20
Da'Ron Payne - DT, Alabama
Strong player vs. the run, and he has some pass-rush potential.
PICK 21
Billy Price - C, Ohio State
The first priority for Buffalo should be to trade up to get a QB. If that doesn't work out, then Price can replace
Eric Wood at center.
PICK 22
Josh Jackson - CB, Iowa
The
Bills get a bookend CB to pair with
Tre'Davious White.
PICK 23
Isaiah Oliver - CB, Colorado
Trumaine Johnson is due to become a free agent, and CB is already a weakness for the
Rams.
PICK 24
Christian Kirk - WR, Texas A&M
The
Panthers need a speedy WR. Kirk fits the bill.
PICK 25
James Daniels - C/OG, Iowa
Help is needed on the interior of the
Titans' O-line.
PICK 26
Isaiah Wynn - OG, Georgia
He played left tackle in college but fits best as a guard at the next level.
PICK 27
Harold Landry - DE/OLB, Boston College
Landry racked up 16.5 sacks in 2016 before an injury-plagued senior season.
PICK 28
Derrius Guice - RB, LSU
I am not optimistic the
Steelers will get a long-term deal done with
Le'Veon Bell, which is why Guice makes sense here.
PICK 29
Connor Williams - OT, Texas
TE and WR are also a possibility here.
PICK 30
Derwin James - S, FSU
Solidifies the safety position opposite
Harrison Smith.
PICK 31
Harrison Phillips - DT, Stanford
Phillips is a run-stopper. He fills a need for New England.
PICK 32
Donte Jackson - CB, LSU
Philly has worked to improve the CB position, but the
Eagles still need help there.
