Pick 1 — Joe Burrow, QB
I think this one is a no-brainer. The Bengals get their QB of the future.
Pick 2 — Chase Young, Edge
Again, another no brainer here. Young adds to Ron Rivera’s young defense.
Pick 3 — Jeffery Okudah, CB
The best corner in the draft is taken here. They gained Desmond Trufant in the secondary, but now they get a young stud to compliment Trufant.
Pick 4 — Isaiah Simmons, LB
Potentially the best player in the draft. The Giants help their defense big-time here.
Pick 5 — Tua Tagovailoa, QB
Tua is the best quarterback in this draft in my eyes. If he never has that hip injury, the Bengals are choosing him over Burrow, instead the Dolphins get the QB they need.
Pick 6 — Justin Herbert, QB
The Chargers said good-bye to Phillip Rivers and lost out on Tom Brady. They take Herbert, who has a cannon, and they have battle in camp between Tyrod Taylor and the rookie.
Pick 7 — Derrick Brown, IDL
The Panthers can go many ways here, but I think they go with a disruptive pass rusher to help shore up the interior line.
Pick 8 — Andrew Thomas, OT
Kyler Murray gets the protection he needs. The Cardinals have the weapons on offense, they just need protection, and get it here. They grab the first offensive tackle off the board.
Pick 9 — C.J. Henderson, CB
The Jaguars no longer have Ramsey or Buoye. The top 3 quarterbacks are off the board, so they try to replace the two big name corners.
Pick 10 — Mekhi Becton, OT
The Browns have all the offensive weapons needed. If you get Baker protection and time, who knows the possibilities this offense can have.
Pick 11 — Jedrick Wills, OT
The Jets have zero offensive lineman, and it feels like it’s been that way forever. The offense needs a lot of help, and it starts with protection for their young quarterback.
Pick 12 — CeeDee Lamb, WR
Lamb becomes the first draft pick in Las Vegas history. The offense gets an explosive receiver — and potentially the best one in the draft — to help their passing game.
Pick 13 — Jerry Jeudy, WR
The 49ers don’t have much help in the receiving game absent of Deebo Samuel. With the departure of Emmanuel Sanders, it makes sense that the reigning NFC champs add a top receiver here.
Pick 14 — Tristan Wirfs, OT
The Buccaneers are moving on from Jameis Winston and they signed some old guy with the last name Brady. They get him much needed help up front.
Pick 15 — Henry Ruggs III, WR
With the emergence of Drew Lock at the end of last season, the Broncos have offensive hope. Lock gets a nice weapon to compliment Courtland Sutton.
Pick 16 — Javon Kinlaw, DL
The Falcons offense finally woke up towards the end of the season last year and their focus is now defense. They add a big defensive lineman to patch up their defense.
