1. Browns: QB Sam Darnold, USC. Best QB in the Draft, fills a major need. 2. Giants: RB Saquon Barkley, PSU. Best player, give Davis Webb the opportunity to show he can be the QB of the future in NY. 3. Colts: DE Bradley Chubb, NC State. Best pure pass rusher in draft. Gives Luck some defensive help. 4. Bills (From HOU through CLE): QB Josh Rosen, UCLA. Bills will look to move on from Tyrod Taylor. Trading up with the Browns gives the Bills their new quarterback. 5. Dolphins (From DEN): QB Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma. I believe Tannehill is a good QB, MIA will try to sell him high (Similar to Alex Smith and the Chiefs). 6. Jets: QB Josh Allen, Wyoming. After striking out on Kirk Cousins, the Jets get the best arm talent in this year's draft (They'll retain Josh McCown to be bridge until Allen is ready). 7. Buccaneers: DB Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama. Best player available, also fits a major need. 8. Bears: WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama. Need to give Trubisky weapons, the Bears will get one of the best route runners in the draft. 9. 49ers: LB Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech. Extremely versatile, can play Mike, Will, or LEO (pass rusher). Could fill in for Reuben Foster if he faces league discipline for two off-season arrests. 10. Raiders: LB Raquon Smith, UGA. Plays sideline to sideline, can ease him into the defense with Bowman playing next to him. 11. Broncos (From MIA): OG Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame. Broncos protect their shiny new quarterback (Kirk Cousins) by pairing Nelson next to last years first rounder, Garrett Bolles. 12. Bengals: OT Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame. Bengals need much better play out of their tackles. 13. Redskins: DB Derwin James, FSU. Versatility to play S or LB, will replace S'ua Cravens who is likely to be traded. 14. Packers: WR James Washington, Oklahoma. Who knows if the Packers release Cobb, Nelson, or both. Washington keeps Rodgers with weapons. 15. Cardinals: QB Lamar Jackson, Louisville. Cardinals need a new quarterback, none on their roster. I expect them to sign a mobile QB like Tyrod Taylor or Teddy Bridgewater. 16. Ravens: WR Christian Kirk, Texas A&M. Need play-makers on the outside. 17. Chargers: DT Maurice Hurst, Michigan. Hurst makes for a scary D-Line with Bosa and Ingram. 18. Browns (From SEA): CB Denzel Ward, Ohio State. Browns trade back up to get the best cornerback in the draft. 19. Cowboys: WR Courtland Sutton, SMU. Need a Dez Bryant replacement. They get the big bodied Sutton here. 20. Lions: DT Vita Vea, Washington. Haloti Ngata 2.0? Could go running back here, but I see them going after a vet (Jeremy Hill perhaps) and a later round back too. 21. Seahawks (From BUF through CLE): CB Josh Jackson, Iowa. Seattle needs a Richard Sherman insurance policy. 22. Browns (From KC through BUF): OL Connor Williams, Texas. Can play guard, but has played tackle mostly at Texas. Allows for a year of learning under Joe Thomas. 23. Rams: C Billy Price, Ohio State. Rams go young to replace John Sullivan. Price will protect Goff and create for Gurley, perfect fit. 24. Panthers: CB Donte Jackson, LSU. Panthers could go other routes here, but I think Jackson will have a phenomenal combine, he could even end up breaking John Ross' 4.22 40 record. 25. Titans: DE Marcus Davenport, UTSA. Orakpo and Morgan are getting old, Davenport may not start immediately, but he will take the burden off of the vets on passing downs. 26. Falcons: DT De'Ron Payne, Alabama. Gives them a young dominant duo with Grady Jarrett. 27. Saints: QB Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State. Brees will resign, but NO needs to be ready for life without the greatest statistical quarterback of all time. 28. Steelers: RB Derrius Guice, LSU. I expect Le'Veon to move on (I have him going to the Jets). They get their new RB. 29. Jaguars: OG Isaiah Wynn, UGA. Wynn will make a great pair with Cam Robinson. Fournette will have running lanes or the next decade. 30. Vikings: OG Will Hernandez, UTEP. Vikings need as much help up front as they can get as a perennial playoff team. 31. Patriots: LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama. As the Superbowl showed, they need defensive help. Could go corner here, but they need linebackers more. 32. Eagles: OT Orlando Brown, Oklahoma. Jason Peters ended the year on IR and could be cut due to a high cap hit, gives Carson Wentz and the Eagles their left tackle of the future.
