1. Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow – QB – LSU
Joe Burrow is going to be the next Carson Palmer. Perfect fit for the Bengals.
2. Washington Redskins – Tua Tagovailoa – QB – Alabama
The Redskins could surprise some people here. Ron Rivera is new in town, Dwayne Haskins may not be who he wants to build a future around.
3. Detroit Lions – Justin Herbert – QB – Oregon
Matthew Stafford is aging. Justin Herbert is going to follow in Joey Harrington’s footsteps.
4. NY Giants – Chase Young – DE – Ohio State
The Giants have the best player in the draft fall into their lap at #4.
5. Miami Dolphins – Derrick Brown – DT – Auburn
Boring pick here at #5 for a defensive minded head coach.
6. LA Chargers – Jordan Love – QB – Utah State
The Chargers sit here at #6 and grab the best QB prospect out of Utah State since Bob Gagliano.
7. Carolina Panthers – Jeff Okudah – CB – Ohio State
This seems like a pick for a team to make at #7.
8. Arizona Cardinals – CeeDee Lamb – WR – Oklahoma
Kyler gets one of his former teammates to pair alongside Larry Fitzgerald.
9. Jacksonville – Isaiah Simmons – LB – Clemson
Sure, why not? The Jags can build a solid defense around Josh Allen and Isaiah Simmons.
10. Cleveland – Mekhi Becton – OT – Louisville
11. NY Jets – Tristan Wirfs – OT – Iowa
12. Las Vegas Raiders – Yetur Gross-Matos – DE – Penn State
Mayock and Gruden try to outsmart everyone with another reach in the first round of the draft. They fall in love with the story from “this guy”.
13. San Francisco f/IND – Henry Ruggs III – WR – Alabama
The 49ers add another weapon to their offense.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – J.K. Dobbins – RB – Ohio State
This seems to be the only piece missing from their skill positions. Dobbins showed that he can be an every down back at Ohio State.
15. Denver Broncos – Andrew Thomas – OT – Georgia
16. Atlanta Falcons – C.J. Henderson – CB – Florida
17. Dallas Cowboys – Jedrick WIlls Jr. – OT – Alabama
The only thing the Cowboys are good at drafting in the first round is offensive lineman. I hope that they play it safe here. (Or trade Dak to the Dolphins for three first round picks and then draft a QB in the first round)
18. Miami Dolphins f/PIT – K’Lavon Chaisson – LB – LSU
19. Las Vegas Raiders f/CHI – Jalen Hurts – QB – Oklahoma
Mayock and Gruden get a QB to build around – they love how “this guy” plays the game.
20. Jacksonville Jaguars f/LAR – Jerry Jeudy – WR – Alabama
The next Justin Blackmon in Jacksonville.
21. Philadelphia Eagles – Justin Jefferson – WR – LSU
The next Jeremy Maclin in Philly.
22. Minnesota Vikings f/BUF – Javon Kinlaw – DT – South Carolina
23. New England Patriots – Jacob Eason – QB – Washington
Woah! The 6th QB taken in the first round of this draft.
24. New Orleans Saints – Xavier McKinney – S – Alabama
25. Minnesota Vikings – Austin Jackson – OT – USC
26. Miami Dolphins f/HOU – Jake Fromm – QB – Georgia
The Dolphins forgot to keep up with the run on QBs. They take Fromm and hope he can return to his QB1 form.
27. Seattle Seahawks – Patrick Queen – LB – LSU
28. Baltimore Ravens – Tee Higgins – WR – Clemson
The next…Derrick Mason.
29. Tennessee Titans – Josh Jones – OT – Houston
30. Green Bay Packers – Jaylon Johnson – CB – Utah
31. San Francisco 49ers – Brandon Aiyuk – WR – Arizona State
The 49ers draft their second WR in the first round and I am running out of ideas.
32. Kansas City – Jonathan Taylor – RB – Wisconsin
Jonathan Taylor is a stud.
