With the first pick in the draft, the Cleveland Brown select QB Sam Darnold (USC)

The Browns need their QBOTF and get their pick of the litter, Darnold has all the tools and has great character to be the face of the franchise, he needs to work on his decision making and turnovers

the 2nd pick will be josh rosen.

i'm not sure if the giants will still be there but whatever team is there will take rosen.

With the 3rd pick the Jets take QB Josh Allen from Wyoming

Browns are back on the clock

With the 4th Pick the Browns select Saquon Barkley from Penn State..

They've got their QBOTF and could go with a defensive presence like Chubb or Fitzpatrick but there is no way they leave Barkley on the table if he is available.

With the 5th pick the Broncos select Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma

 

[nick87]

With the 6th Pick in the NFL draft, the Colts select:

Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State:

Colts need to improve their defense, they've got a chance to give the DL with the best defensive player in the draft. He will anchor the young Colts with Hooker and will be a key building block

 

[Tom155]

With the 7th Pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame

 

[Haffa]

With the 8th pick the Bears select Minkah Fitzpatrick S Alabama. Safety is not a huge need but Minkah is special and versatile.

With Jackson as well it’s old Bama pair together.

 

[Tom155]

With the 9th pick the San Francisco 49ers select Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State

With the 10th pick Oakland select......

Nah can't do it to Shiznit. All you, bud.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

With the 10th pick Oakland select......

Nah can't do it to Shiznit. All you, bud.

I wanted to draft them James, but then figured Shiz probably would love this pick for himself

With the 10th pick Oakland select......

Nah can't do it to Shiznit. All you, bud.

Sorry guys... I just saw this now...

Shit... I didn’t realise I was holding everyone up...

Give me 10mins....

 

[shiznit]

With the 10th pick THE Oakland Raiders select...

Roquan Smith - LB - Georgia.

I was tossing up Tremaine Edmunds because his size and explosive athleticism is just soooo tempting. That kid has a HUGE upside.

But ultimately I went with Smith who’s probably a tad undersized but imo we can play him as our Mike... he’s athletic enough to cover both sides of the field if needed and also hits really hard.

He’s also got great instincts which allow him to drop easily into coverage. I could imagine him and Karl Joseph in the backfield causing HAVOC in the backfield just crushing dudes.

With the 11th Pick in the Draft, The Miami Dolphins select:

Vita Vea, NT, Washington

Wanted to get them a QB here, Baker Mayfield would have been good but he's off the board and it's too early for Lamar Jackson. With Suh out of town there is a massive void in the middle of that defence, and i think Vea could play NT in a 3-4 OR DT in a 4-3. Strong hands, great power, can rush and stop the run
He's a fantastic player who fills a need and could survive a scheme change should that come in the next 12 months which i think is likely

With the 12th pick the Buffalo Bills select Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech

the skins lost a few dbs in the offseason so may as well draft a good one. this guy supposedly does it all.

Derwin James. FSU

[Tom155]

With the 14th pick the Green Bay Packers select Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

With the 9th pick the San Francisco 49ers select Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State

Ugh. Stay away from my team.
