PICK 1 CLEVELAND Myles Garrett - DE
School: Texas A&M. There's been a lot of buzz about the possibility of the Browns taking Mitchell Trubisky, but I think Garrett ends up being the pick here.

PICK 2 SAN FRANCISCO Jamal Adams - S
School: LSU. This pick is anyone's guess. I wouldn't be surprised if they took Leonard Fournette, but Adams is the cleanest player in the draft.

PICK 3 CHICAGO Marshon Lattimore - CB
School: Ohio State. The Bears could go in a number of different directions here, but they are desperate for an impact corner.

PICK 4 JACKSONVILLE Leonard Fournette - RB
School: LSU. This pick just makes too much sense. Fournette would be a tremendous help to Blake Bortles.

PICK 5 TENNESSEE Solomon Thomas - DL
School: Stanford. I think the Titans will aggressively shop this pick, but Thomas would be a nice fall-back plan if they can't get out.

PICK 6 New York Jets O.J. Howard - TE
School: Alabama. Howard will give the Jets a much-needed weapon in the middle of the field.

PICK 7 Los Angeles Chargers Malik Hooker - S
School: Ohio State. Gus Bradley's defense was made for Malik Hooker.

PICK 8 Carolina Panthers Christian McCaffrey - RB
School: Stanford. This buzz has been building for a while. McCaffrey will provide some easy completions for Cam Newton.

PICK 9 Cincinnati Bengals Reuben Foster - LB
School: Alabama. Foster's diluted drug test doesn't seem to be a big issue with teams. Either that or they are lying to me. I'll guess the former is true.

PICK 10 Buffalo Bills Haason Reddick - OLB
School: Temple. Several teams are targeting Reddick. I'll be surprised if he gets out of the top 15.

PICK 11 New Orleans Saints Marlon Humphrey - CB
School: Alabama. This is higher than I expected for Humphrey, but his size-speed combination is intriguing.

PICK 12 Cleveland Browns Mitchell Trubisky - QB
School: North Carolina. I expect the Browns to move up to make sure Trubisky doesn't get scooped by another team in the top 10.

PICK 13 Arizona Cardinals Patrick Mahomes - QB
School: Texas Tech. This would be a surprising pick, but I'm told the Cardinals love the upside of Mahomes.

PICK 14 Philadelphia Eagles Derek Barnett - DE
School: Tennessee. The Eagles need a cornerback, but Barnett might be too tempting to pass up.

PICK 15 Indianapolis Colts Charles Harris - DE
School: Missouri. The Colts have a lot of needs on defense, but adding a big-time pass rusher is right at the top of the list.

PICK 16 Baltimore Ravens Mike Williams - WR
School: Clemson. The Ravens haven't had much luck drafting wide receivers, but Williams has a tremendous resume.

PICK 17 Washington Redskins Jonathan Allen - DL
School: Alabama. Allen could slide a little bit based on some medical concerns. He would be a steal at this point in the draft.

PICK 18 Tennessee TitansCorey Davis - WR
School: Western Michigan. The Titans need to give Marcus Mariota a playmaker; Davis qualifies.

PICK 19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Dalvin Cook - RB
School: Florida State. The Bucs could take an offensive lineman here, but Cook would be dynamic in this offense.

PICK 20 Denver Broncos Ryan Ramczyk - OT
School: Wisconsin. The Broncos need to upgrade their offensive line; Ramczyk will help them do that.

PICK 21 Detroit Lions Jarrad Davis - LB
School: Florida. Davis could go much higher than this, but he would be a good fit in Detroit if he were to be available.

PICK22 Miami Dolphins Forrest Lamp - OG
School: Western Kentucky. Laremy Tunsil kicks out to left tackle this season, which creates an opening at guard.

PICK 23 New York Giants David Njoku - TE
School: Miami. Njoku is a unique athlete who would be scary surrounded by the playmakers in New York.

PICK 24 Oakland Raiders Gareon Conley - CB
School: Ohio State. We could see a run on cornerbacks around this point of the draft.

PICK 25 Houston Texans Cam Robinson - OT
School: Alabama. Robinson would be an immediate upgrade at right tackle for the Texans.

PICK 26 Seattle Seahawks Garett Bolles - OT
School: Utah. The Seahawks could go with a cornerback here, but Bolles' athleticism would fit well in their scheme.

PICK 27 Kansas City Chiefs Deshaun Watson - QB
School: Clemson. There has been a lot of chatter about the Chiefs looking at a quarterback in the first round. I'm not sure if Watson is their top guy, but he fits what they do schematically.

PICK28 Dallas Cowboys Adoree' Jackson - CB
School: USC. Some teams have Jackson as the second-best cornerback in the draft. He might be long gone by this point.

PICK29 Green Bay Packers T.J. Watt - OLB
School: Wisconsin. This one just makes too much sense. The Packers need another rusher and Watt is a stud.

PICK30 Pittsburgh Steelers Evan Engram - TE
School: Ole Miss. This would be a mild surprise, but Engram is well-regarded around the league.

PICK31 Atlanta Falcons Kevin King - CB
School: Washington. King has the size to match up with the bigger wide receivers in the division. The Falcons have a good group of cornerbacks, but you can never have enough cover guys.

PICK32 New Orleans Saints Takkarist McKinley - DE
School: UCLA. McKinley seems to be sliding, but he is a very talented edge rusher.

Isn't it the same for just about everyone drafted in the last 6 years, except for maybe Luck and Wentz? Virtually none of them call plays or play in an NFL style system.

This is easily a better QB class than last year. We finally break that cherry fellas..m

I think taking qbs after the 2nd round is a waste of a pick. tyler bray a murray. Theyre never going to do shit so why even draft them? Trade up take a qb in the 1st who has actual potential and see if he can play. if he cant then you move on. and for backups u just sign veteran backup qbs.

There are too many examples of recent success for post 2nd round quarterbacks for your conclusion to have merit.

I just don't see how he thinks the Broncos would pass on Cam Robinson if Cam Robinson is there (he won't be there, he will be the first offensive lineman taken in the draft, before the Broncos 20th pick).

I agree that KC will take a QB early but I don't think this year's class is better than last year's class where two QBs went 1 & 2. I think that if Cleveland takes Trubisky in the first round they will again prove to the world that they are grade A morons when it comes to drafting QBs.

You can't pound this into people's skulls with a baseball bat man, just give up and know you're correct.

Is this the first draft Dorsey/Reid have a second rounder here? Aside from when we traded out of the first..?

2 for the Smith trade and Goodel stole one for tampering right?

Goodell stole a 3rd and a 6th, iirc.

Ohh okay. Thanks.

Either way, I am excited for this draft. 10 picks and an already talented roster. I never could get excited about the draft when pioli was here. Now it feels like we always walk away with a few top notch players.

I think Watson would be good in this offense. Better than Smith, cheaper than Smith.

I'd be good with this, just not if Mahomes is also available.

[ModSocks]

Im trying to like Watson, i really am. But i just don't see it. Maybe i need to watch more "tape".

Because the guy can't call an NFL play to save his life.

He's not my first choice by any means.....but I'd defer to Reid and Dorsey if they drafted him.

Then again....I like Kizer....so what the **** do I know?
