- Arizona Cardinals – Kyler Murray QB Oklahoma
- Kingsbury gets to start off his tenure with a QB tailor-made to run his offense. Murray brings an unprecedented skill set to the position and will instantly jump-start this lethargic offense.
- San Fransisco 49rs- Nick Bosa EDGE Ohio St;
Despite adding the inconsistent Dee Ford to their end group, the 49rs can’t pass up on a chance to add the best pass rusher in the draft. If this were to come to fruition, San Fransisco would have one of the NFL’s youngest and most talented defensive lines.
- New York Jets- Quinnen Williams; Ideally I think the Jets would prefer to move down with one of the QB hungry teams, that being said, Williams is too good to pass. Pairing him with fellow Williams, Leonard, the two would form a dynamic and imposing interior tandem.
- Okland Raiders- Josh Allen EDGE/LB Kentucky; The Raiders need to add emerging talent almost everywhere. With Allen, they get a versatile piece for new DC Paul Guenther. Allen can help out a weak LB corps or an equally weak EDGE group, with elite talent to boot.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Jonah Williams OT/G Alabama; Despite needing help all over their defense, this team will live and die with Jameis Winston, and protecting him should be priority #1. Williams is worlds better than current starting RT Demar Dotson and can slot in at RG if they wanna keep Doston as a starter.
- New York Giants- Dwayne Haskins QB Ohio State; While it looks like Dave Gettleman are comfortable with Eli Manning going forward, a succession plan needs to be put in place. Dwayne Haskins will benefit from sitting behind Eli Manning and his skill set meshes well with the various RAC options the Giants currently have.
- Jacksonville Jaguars- Jawan Taylor OT Florida; With the acquisition of Nick Foles the Jaguars finally have a competent QB in-house. This whole draft should be dedicated to giving Foles all the tools possible to make this team a super bowl contender. With Taylor, the Jaguars get an immediate upgrade at their RT spot.
- Detroit Lions- Ed Oliver DL Houston; The Lions will have a multitude of options come draft night with multiple needs to fill. In Oliver they get a scheme versatile lineman who I think will dominate in the NFL. Combined with the Trey Flowers signing, the Lions are on their way to building the dominate line they’ve so greatly lacked in the past couple years.
- Buffalo Bills- DK Metcalf WR Ole Miss; The Bills did a nice job of getting John Brown and Cole Beasley last month, two supporting veterans who I like as nice pieces for Josh Allen. With DK Metcalf, the Bills get an alpha WR1 who fits perfectly with this team. His skillset is tailormade with the gunslinging, go get em’ tendencies of Josh Allen.
- Denver Broncos- Devin White LB LSU; Drew Lock wouldn’t surprise me here but I think it’s the wrong move. With Joe Flacco in place for the interim, Denver needs to continue to add playmakers, like they did last year with Bradley Chubb. Devin White can slot right into that MIKE spot with Brandon Marshall gone. Automatically will make an impact with his instincts and elite athletic traits.
- Cincinnati Bengals- Devin Bush Jr. LB Michigan; Despite Andy Dalton’s continued disappointment he deserves a full season under new Coach Zac Taylor. This team is awful at LB and Devin Bush is just what the doctor ordered. High character guy with good tape and traits to match.
- Green Bay Packers- Brian Burns EDGE; You can never have enough pass rush. The Packers did a good job of addressing that need this offseason with the addition of Preston and Zadarius Smith. Adding Brian Burns to that mix gives them an impressive arsenal of pass rushers, something they have sorely lacked throughout the decade.
- Miami Dolphins- Rashan Gary DL Michigan; The Dolphins look to be on track for the bottom of the league. With Gary they meet a glaring need with a high upside player that has all the intangibles to be an elite defender.
- Atlanta Falcons- Christian Wilkins DT Clemson; The Falcons are picking in the top 15 due to a year riddled with injuries, this roster however is still one of the best in the league. With Christian Wilkins they get a leader, winner, and one of the more technically sound lineman in the class.
- Washington Redskins- Cody Ford OL Oklahoma; In my opinion Washington is another team like Miami and Cincinnati that are building for next year without a franchise QB in place. With Ford they get an athletic, versatile behemoth of a man who has a nasty streak. Plug and play 10 year starter.
- Carolina Panthers- Clelin Ferrel EDGE Clemson; Despite signing Bruce Irvin the Panthers still have a hole at EDGE. Ferrel may not have elite “upside” but is a plug and play guy who might have the highest floor in the entire class.
- New York Giants (From Cleveland)- Montez Sweat EDGE Mississippi St; The Giants got rid of their best and really only pass rusher in Olivier Vernon. Sweat is a bit of a project but is an impressive athlete and already has a nice, but improvable skill set.
- Minnesota Vikings- Dalton Risner OL Kansas St; The Vikings had one of the worst lines in the league last year, something they need to improve upon if the Kirk Cousins experiment will have a chance. I may be higher than some on Risner, but I love his versatility and character. He can fill any of the Vikings various weak spots on the line.
- Tennessee Titans- Chris Lindstrom G Boston College; The Titans surprisingly don’t have too many needs. And while they just signed Roger Saffold to a thic contract, pairing him with Lindstrom would give them 4 quality lineman. Lindtrom should thrive in this zone run scheme.
- Pittsburg Steelers- Byron Murphy CB Washington; Pittsburg has swung and missed on many secondary players over the years and it has hampered them. With Byron Murphy, they get my favorite corner in this class. I think his game is incredibly well rounded and he brings an intensity that you want your corners to posses.
- Seattle Seahawks- Nasir Adderly S Delaware; Adderly has been #draftszn’s fastest riser and it’s easy to see why. He dominated D-II competition with his incredible range and surprising physicality. This should help with the loss of franchise cornerstone Earl Thomas.
- Baltimore Ravens- Garret Bradbury C North Carolina St; With Lamar Jackson being the franchise QB going forward their draft philosophy should reflect that. While I thought about going WR or even LB here, a player like Bradbury is too good to pass up. Bradbury is an elite center prospect, the kind that wouldn’t surprise me if he’s a pro bowler out the gate.
- Houston Texans- Andre Dillard OT Washington St; Dillard is another fast riser from this offseason. He’s regarded as the best pass blocking tackle in the class with an impressive athletic arsenal. Houston needs to make offensive line a priority if they want to keep Deshuan Watson around for the foreseeable future.
- Oakland Raiders- Greedy Williams CB LSU; Greedy Williams is too good to pass up here with Oakland’s second pick. Pairing him with Gareon Conely should give the raiders two corners with sky-high potential for the next 10 years. If Williams can make the best of his undeniable physical gifts, he will be an elite CB in this league.
- Philadelphia Eagles- Chauncey Gardner Johnson NB/S Florida; The Eagles’ secondary was hampered by injuries last year and their lack of depth showed. With Gardner Johnson they get a player who can play all over the secondary. Whether thats inside at nickel or at safety, he’s a player with an exciting, versatile skill set.
- Indianapolis Colts- Jerry Tillery DL Notre Dame; Tillery is a fast riser in this years class. He’s an impressive athlete at the defensive tackle spot, with length in spades and nice production as a pass rusher. The defensive line is weak in Indy, Tillery should start right away.
- Oakland Raiders- TJ Hockenson TE Iowa; Hockenson drops to #27 and is the first TE off the board. I would be pretty shocked if he’s here come 4/28 that being said the raiders add the best pure TE in the draft and instantly improve their passing and run game.
- Los Angeles Chargers- Dexter Lawerence NT Clemson; The Chargers have a gaping hole in the middle of their defense. That was all too apparent during Sony Michel 130 yard, 3 TD performance during the divisional round this past January. If the Chargers wanna return to that stage they surely will have to improve upon that. Lawerence is a sublime athlete at 340 lbs and will fit right in-between Bosa and Ingram.
- Kansas City Chiefs- DeAndre Baker CB Georgia; Bakers falls to #29 where he fills a desperate need in KC. While he might not have “elite” athleticism, he has virtually no weaknesses’ and has the highest floor of all the CB’s in this class. Plug and Play boi.
- Green Bay Packers- Noah Fant TE Iowa; Fant is some people’s #1 TE and it’s not shocking. He’s a fluid athlete who checks all the boxes of a modern TE and while he’s not the blocker Hockenson is, he still is a good blocker. Green Bay can line him up in a multitude of ways and he will spark this offense instantly.
- Los Angeles Rams- Jeffrey Simmons DT Mississippi St; I’m with big daddy Klepp here. Simmons would have been a top 10 pick no doubt if it weren’t for his ACL in preparation for the combine. The Rams can afford to effectively redshirt him this year and pair him with Aaron Donald in 2020. Good luck trying to curb that lethal pair.
- New England Patriots- Charles Omenihu DL Texas; The Super Bowl Champs have a good amount of needs and 12 picks to fill them. Let’s start with their depleted defensive line. Omenihu is a lengthy, versatile defensive lineman who wowed at the senior bowl. The 6’6 Omenihu has the type of tools the Patriots will covet and can play all over their line.
