Rnd. Pick Team Player Pos. School
1 1 Arizona Josh Allen OLB Kentucky
John’s comments: Once the Combine and Pro Days come and go I expect Josh Allen to shine and become the target for the #1 pick, I think that the upside will be too much for teams to ignore
1 2 San Francisco Quinnen Williams DE Alabama
John’s comments: San Francisco will consider Nick Bosa here, but the opportunity to solidify the inside of the defensive line with Quinnen Williams will be too good to pass on
1 3 NY Jets Nick Bosa DE Ohio State
John’s comments: The Jets will be ecstatic that Bosa falls to them here and will sprint to the podium with the pick
1 4 Oakland Clelin Ferrell DE Clemson
John’s comments: A player that can attempt to make Oakland fans forget about Kahlil Mack, Ferrell will be a good pickup, but won’t be Mack
1 5 Tampa Bay Josh Jacobs RB Alabama
John’s comments: Tampa swung and missed on Ronald Jones Jr. last year in the early second round, they will look to improve with Jacobs
1 6 Giants Dwayne Haskins QB Ohio State
John’s comments: Dwayne Haskins will have the opportunity to play with Saquan Barkley and Odell Beckham for several years
1 7 Jacksonville Kyler Murray QB Oklahoma
John’s comments: Jacksonville will find the polar opposite of Blake Bortles here with Heisman winner Kyler Murray.
1 8 Detroit D.K. Metcalf WR Mississippi
John’s comments: Detroit gets a big bodied reciever for Matt Stafford to target.
1 9 Buffalo Ed Oliver DT Houston
John’s comments: Buffalo will love the attitude that Oliver brings to it’s Defensive line
1 10 Denver Drew Lock QB Missouri
John’s comments: Denver needs to upgrade the QB position and will keep swinging until they hit a homerun
1 11 Cincinnati Daniel Jones QB Duke
John’s comments: Cincinnati gives their new coach a new Quarterback, The Red Rifle will continue to lead the Bengals while Daniel Jones is groomed for the future
1 12 Green Bay Devin White ILB LSU
John’s comments: Green Bay goes best Player available rather than reaching for a need position. Devin White and Blake Martinez could become the best Linebacking duo in the NFL
1 13 Miami Rashan Gary DE Michigan
John’s comments: Miami would love to go QB here but with the top guys gone they go BPA with Rashan Gary falling to 13
1 14 Atlanta Jeffrey Simmons DT Mississippi State
John’s comments: Atlanta gets a great value pic here in Simmons the mammoth DT from Mississippi State
1 15 Washington Andraez “Greedy” Williams CB LSU
John’s comments: Greedy Williams is the first Defensive Back taken, if josh Norman leaves, Williams is immediately their top CB if Norman sticks around they will make a tremendous tandem
1 16 Carolina Jonah Williams OT Alabama
John’s comments: Caroline gets the top Offensive line talent in the draft as the QB’s and Defensive linemen push Jonah Williams to them at 16
1 17 Cleveland Devin Bush Jr. ILB Michigan
John’s comments: Cleveland gets a Linebacker to pair with Wisconsin Alum Joe Shobert
1 18 Minnesota Jawaan Taylor OT Florida

John’s comments: Another big time receiver to pair with Cory Davis.
1 20 Pittsburgh A.J. Brown WR Mississippi
John’s comments: The Steelers are likely going to have to replace Antonio Brown, I have them making a Brown for Brown switch.
1 21 Seattle Christian Wilkins DT Clemson
John’s comments: Seattle adds another Defensive lineman
1 22 Baltimore Mack Wilson ILB Alabama
John’s comments: Baltimore will need to add a Linebacker if CJ Mosely leaves in Free Agency
1 23 Houston Jachai Polite DE Florida
John’s comments: Houston may lose Jadaveon Clowney this offseason, and Whitney Mercilus seems like he may be on the decline
1 24 Oakland Deandre Baker CB Georgia
John’s comments: Oakland has so many holes on both sides of the ball, so here they try to take the best player available
1 25 Philadelphia Greg Little OT Mississippi
John’s comments: Nick Foles will not be on the roster next year, which means that the Eagles will need to make sure and protect Carson Wentz
1 26 Indianapolis Marquise Brown WR Oklahoma
John’s comments: Andrew Luck can be unstoppable with a legitimate threat opposite TY Hilton
1 27 Oakland Zach Allen DE Boston College
John’s comments: Three first round selections, three defensive players to try to fix that side of the ball
1 28 LA Chargers Montez Sweat DE Mississippi State
John’s comments: The Chargers don’t have many holes so they get a luxury pick here, Montez Sweat could go much higher than this but win this mock he is the BPA
1 29 Kansas City Deionte Thompson S Alabama
John’s comments: Kansas City needs to fix the Defense, here is the start of that.
1 30 Green Bay Jaylon Ferguson DE Louisiana Tech
John’s comments: Green Bay gets their much needed pass rusher, Ferguson is a sack machine and will play OLB for the Packers, combined with the pressure that Devin White will apply up the middle, teams will need to get rid of the ball going forward.
1 31 LA Rams Dexter Lawrence DT Clemson
John’s comments: The Rams may need to replace Ndamakong Suh, Dexter Lawrence would be a good bet to do that
1 32 New England Noah Fant TE Iowa
John’s comments: Rob Gronkowski is no longer the consistent dominating force that he has been, New England looks to the future at the position
2 33 Arizona Cody Ford OG Oklahoma
John’s comments: Arizona has made their bed with Josh Rosen, they will need to give him time to throw the ball
2 34 Indianapolis Jerry Tillary DT Notre Dame
John’s comments: Indy gets some help from this deep D line draft
2 35 Oakland Damien Harris RB Alabama
John’s comments: I know Oakland wants to load the roster up with washed up running backs, but maybe they will figure out that fresh legs can be a good thing
2 36 San Francisco Byron Murphy CB Washington
John’s comments: San Francisco gets great value with the Washington Cornerback
2 37 NY Giants Dre’Mont Jones DT Ohio State
John’s comments: The Giants replace Snacks Harrison after trading him a year ago
2 38 Jacksonville Irv Smith Jr. TE Alabama
John’s comments: Jacksonville gives Murray a security blanket with maybe the best all around TE in the draft
2 39 Tampa Bay Kelvin Harmon WR NC State
John’s comments: Desean Jackson won’t be back next year, Harmon could be a nice option across from Mike Evans
2 40 Buffalo Parris Campbell WR Ohio State

2 41 Denver Deebo Samuel WR South Carolina
John’s comments: Samuel is raising up draft boards after a strong showing at Senior bowl practices

2 43 Detroit Amani Oruwariye CB Penn State
John’s comments: Detroit has several holes to fill, they should be in BPA mode
2 44 Green Bay Brian Burns DE Florida State
John’s comments: I have GB doubling up on Edge Rusher by once again taking the best player available in Brian Burns, many have him mocked in the first round, but he is a bit under weight for the position which could allow him to fall to the packers here, and the Pack would be thrilled to have him this late.
2 45 Atlanta Chris Lindstrom OG Boston College
John’s comments: Atlanta needs to improve the protection for Matt Ryan
2 46 Washington Darrell Henderson RB Memphis
John’s comments: Darius Guice will return this year, but how will the injury effect him going forward, that coupled with Adrian Peterson’s advanced age makes me thing Henderson could be the pick.
2 47 Carolina Austin Bryant DE Clemson
John’s comments: Some defensive help for the Panthers
2 48 Miami Will Grier QB West Virginia
John’s comments: Miami hopes to find their future signal caller here with Grier
2 49 Cleveland David Edwards OT Wisconsin

2 50 Minnesota Vosean Joseph OLB Florida

2 51 Tennessee Germaine Pratt OLB NC State
John’s comments: Pratt could be a nice fit in Mike Vrabel’s Defense
2 52 Pittsburgh Johnathan Abram S Mississippi State
John’s comments: Pittsburgh always seems to get solid defensive players to fall to them in positions of need. Morgan Burnett has asked for his release, Safety still wouldn’t be a need but Abram is too good to pass on.
2 53 Houston Taylor Rapp S Washington
John’s comments: Houston doesn’t know if they will be able to resign Tyrann Mathieu after this season
2 54 Philadelphia Clayton Thorson QB Northwestern
John’s comments: As stated earlier, Nick Foles will not return next year, here is his replacement.

John’s comments: Are you noticing a trend? The Chiefs need help on defense
2 64 New England David Sills WR West Virginia
