    Trade w/Browns) - Josh Allen - QB – Wyoming – everyone believes that Elway is happy with Keenam and Lynch (to learn behind Keenam) but Allen is a lot like Elway with a big arm, mobile, smart and can learn quickly. Keenam will provide the bridge to Allen and Lynch will be gone before the end of training camp. Broncos give up a lot to move one spot as Miami and Arizona trying to move up. Broncos give up #71 to move up to get Allen.

    5. Cleveland Browns (Trade w/Broncos) - Bradley Chubb - EDGE - NC State – everyone expects Barkley to go at this spot but the pairing of Chubb with last year #1 Myles Garrett gives Browns a dominate DL and they wait to pick up a RB in the 2nd round.

    6. Indianapolis Colts - Saquon Barkley - RB - Penn State – with Chubb off the board, Colts go with help for Luck in the terms of a dominate RB. Barkley will give the Colts a game breaker as well as pressure off of Luck to throw 60 times a game.

    7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Quenton Nelson - G - Notre Dame – Bucs really thought they had a shot at Chubb but didn’t work out so to protect Winston they take the best OL guy in the draft and gives the next RB a good shot at additional yards along with great protection for the QB.

    8. Chicago Bears - Tremaine Edmunds - LB - Virginia Tech – it isn’t often the BPA is also a great need, in this case Bears get a leader for the defense and a guy that can play sideline to sideline.

    9. New York Giants (Trade w/49ers) - Minkah Fitzpatrick - DB – Alabama – the best secondary guy in the draft, can play CB or S and will displace Eli Apple who is already at odds with the coaching staff. Giants obtain this pick from the 49ers for Beckman by agreeing to a trade of #9, #70 and a second in 2019 that could become a 1stdepending on the stats of OBJ in 2018.

    10. Arizona Cardinals (Trade w/Raiders) - Lamar Jackson - QB – Louisville – Cardinals needed to move ahead of Dolphins to secure Jackson. Jackson is a dynamic player and may prove to be the best passer in the draft. Lots of people will not like the pick but Cardinals in no position to care, they need a QB and one that can make plays with his arm and legs.

    11. Miami Dolphins - Vita Vea - DT – Washington – with the loss of Suh and not a QB they really want still on the board, they stand pat and get the best 1tech DL guy in the draft.

    12. New York Giants (Trade with BUF) - Harold Landry – EDGE/OLB - Boston College – Landry will play outside LB for them in the new 3-4 defense they are moving to install and should do well in that roll.

    13. Washington Redskins - Derwin James - S - Florida State – James slipping to this point allows Redskins to solve the secondary problem and keep Dallas from taking him with a move up. Redskins have many needs so taking the BPA helps.

    14. Green Bay Packers - Joshua Jackson - CB – Iowa – the secondary needs an influx of new blood and Jackson provides it, they could trade down for the right price though.

    15. Oakland Raiders (Trade w/Cardinals) - Denzel Ward - CB - Ohio State – they could go LB here but the value of Ward is far greater and something Gruden will like although he is very unpredictable.

    16. Baltimore Ravens - Calvin Ridley - WR – Alabama – could see the first TE here but Ozzie still in charge and he loves those Alabama players and even with the free agents WR added, WR is still a position of need.

    17. Los Angeles Chargers - Mike McGlinchey - OT - Notre Dame – the OL was terrible last year and there are needs all over the OL, MM makes up for a lot of them starting at LT from day one.

    18. New England Patriots (Trade w/Seahawks) - Carlton Davis - CB - Auburn – Patriots never afraid to move around and give up #31, # 63 and 4th in 2019 to move up. Seahawks looking for picks. Davis provide what the Patriots need to help the secondary.

    19. Tennessee Titans (Trade w/Cowboys) - Roquan Smith - LB – Georgia – even with the free agent signings, Titans need a leader on defense, Smith fits the 3-4 much better than a 4-3 and with Titans will to give us #57, Dallas felt it was worth it to move down.

    20. Detroit Lions - Isaiah Wynn - OL - Georgia – could use help at other positions but they invested heavily in the QB and you need to protect him, Wynn could play OT but better suited as a OG and a very good one.

    21. Cincinnati Bengals - Orlando Brown - OT – Oklahoma – probably the most no brainer in the draft, Bengals need a OT desperately and will go OL more than once in this draft. Brown is a good if not great OT despite the combine misques.

    22. New York Giants (Trade w/Bills) - Will Hernandez - G - UTEP – did a good job adding pieces to the OL in free agency but still not done. Hernandez is a great run blocker and will help create holes for a RB to be named later.

    23. Los Angeles Rams - Marcus Davenport - EDGE – UTSA – they could go WR here although Davenport to good to pass up to team with Donald and Suh, look for Rams to make a trade later in the draft for a WR

    24. Carolina Panthers – Mike Hughes – CB – Central Florida – need to shore up the secondary although this could be a spot for Payne at DT also, the value would be Hughes and also a bigger need.

    25. Dallas Cowboys (Trade w/Titans) - Leighton Vander Esch - LB - Boise State – Dallas could go several ways here such as DL or S or WR but with Lee’s injury history and Smith not sure fully back from injury along with the loss of Hitchens, the Vander Esch pick provides a LB that could play the WILL or MIKE positions now although probably starts at the SAM position unless there is an injury but will take Lee’s spot eventually.

    26. Atlanta Falcons - Da'Ron Payne - DT – Alabama – Payne fits what Falcons do on defense and should be able to start or at least rotate in right away, they could trade down though if they want a big WR although they will draft one in the 2nd round.

    27. New Orleans Saints – Mark Andrews – TE – Oklahoma – best catching TE in the draft and should help with Brees on 3rd down plays quite a bit, may be to early for some but not Payton who will give Brees all the help he wants. Andrews will remind Saints of Jimmy Graham.

    28. Pittsburgh Steelers - Rashaan Evans - LB – Alabama – Shazier may be working his way back but Steelers can use Evans inside right now as a walk in starter, Evans knows the 3-4 defense very well as Alabama uses it all the time.

    29. Jacksonville Jaguars - Courtland Sutton - WR – SMU – bit of a debate between Moore and Sutton but coaches want the bigger guy after losing Robinson in free agency, could see a trade out of the first and still get Sutton but only for the right price.

    30. Cleveland Browns (Trade with MIN) - Derrius Guice - RB – LSU – Browns trade up with Minnesota only because they felt that Seattle would take Guice and he was the choice they wanted. Browns give up #35 and #114 to move up and Minnesota believes they can get the Safety they want at #35.

    31. Seattle Seahawks (Trade w/Patriots) - Isaiah Oliver - CB – Colorado – the losses in the secondary have been huge but Oliver should take a bit of the sting out of those losses and provides a day one starter in place of Sherman.

    32. Philadelphia Eagles – Connor Williams – OT – Texas – could see a TE here although protecting Wentz much more important and the value of Williams is much better, they also might look to trade down but probably wouldn’t pass on Williams.
