I used the NFL.com player rankings and team needs...no trades,.. the only mild assumption is that Jerry Jones is going to be the first visit Johnny Manziel makes when they throw him out of Cleveland.
1. Titans.
Laremy Tunsil,...OLT, Ole Miss
2. Browns.
Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis........ the Manziel experiment is over so they try again.
3. Chargers.
Joey Bosa, LB, Ohio St.
4. Dallas.
Ezekial Elliot,..RB,..Ohio State....Jurry signs Manziel and looks to strengthen the running game with Elliot
5. Jaguars.
Vernon Hargreaves,..CB,...Florida...the top corner in the draft happens to be a guy they see on the local sports report...immediate help
6. Ravens.
Laquon Treadwell,...WR, Clemson.... treadwells production has jumped every year in college and he can provide an energizing spark to the ravens offense.
7. Niners.
Ronnie Staley,...OT, ND...whoever Kelly is going to have under center,...needs more protection and that is what they get with staley
8. Phins.
Jaylon Smith, ILB, ND
9. Bucs.
Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio St... the bucs have their share of issues, playing against Carolina twice a year, protecting famous jamis is one of them.
10.Giants.
Emmanual Ogbah, DE, OK ST. when JPP gets hurt, they got nuthin....now they got something.
11.Bears.
Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA....Bears, Linebackers...it just is.
12.Saints.
Shaq Lawson, LB/DE, Clemson..... the Saints need help on defense..lots of it,...Lawson will help
13.Eagles.
Jared Goff, QB, Cal... Philly is hoping to stop that QB merry go round
14.Raiders.
Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson....the Raiders front seven is pretty good, time to beef up the secondary
15.Rams.
Josh Doctson, WR, TCU.... Tall and explosive Doctson should make an impact for the Rams right away as they establish their new team identity in los angeles.
16.Lions.
Reggie Ragland, ILB, Bama... detroits defense took a step back last season and they are hoping improved play at line backer will help get them back on track.
17.Falcons.
Robert Nkemdiche, DE/DT, Ole Miss...falcons defense needs help and Nkemdiche was a great value pick
18.Colts.
Jack Conklin, OT, Mich St....when you have your star young QB it makes sense to protect him
19.Bills.
Deforrest Buckner, DE/DT, Oregon... Buffalo feels they struck gold for this pick....Buckner is the BPA and will start immediately for buffalo
20.Jets.
Scooby Wright, OLB, Arizona.... Jets get an active player to fill their biggest need
21.Skins.
Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor... now that Washington is settling in at QB they need to get the signal caller some help...guys that can catch go a long ways towards that.
22.Texans.
Connor Cook, QB, Mich St....... who was passing for Houston again?
23.Vikes.
Darren Lee, OLB,Ohio St...... Vikes strengthen their defense
24.Bengals.
Jalen Ramsey, S, Fl. St. Cincy needs a lot of help on defense, but a good center fielder will make the biggest impact in their division
25.Steelers.
William Jackson, CB, Houston... Pittsburgh does not steal our LBer this year...takes secondary help
26.Hags.
Austin Johnson, DT, Penn St.....makes it even harder to run up the middle on these guys.
27.Packers.
Carl Nassib, DE/OLB, Penn St. Packers need pass rush,...Nassib exploded last season with 15 sacks and 20 tackles for loss...just the type of disruption they need and a steal at this pick
28.Chefs.
Jonathon Bullard, DE, Florida
29.Cards.
Shalique Calhoun, DE/OLB, Mich St. Arizona needs an edge rusher with length and speed, Calhoun fits that bill perfectly....I was thinking they might actually piss off the fans and pick a center here,...but Calhoun being on the board changed all of that...he needs strength and more technique but he should contribute on day one.
30.Broncos.
Shon Coleman, OT, Auburn....a young OT to help protect their young QB who will most likely be starting next season
31.Kitty's.
Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio St.... a possession type WR for intermediate routes takes pressure off of Olsen and limits the need to rely on Ginn, Thomas is a tough runner with good hands who often capitalizes on RAC
1. Titans.
Laremy Tunsil,...OLT, Ole Miss
2. Browns.
Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis........ the Manziel experiment is over so they try again.
3. Chargers.
