First Round Mock

[Caleb3502]

1 - CLE: Sam Darnold, QB, USC
Darnold is the most polished QB prospect in the draft, and Cleveland can't pass up the best QB in the draft again.

2 - NYG: Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
Giants need to start planning for the eventual retirement of Eli Manning. Rosen can sit for a year or two and take over the franchise from Manning.

Allen can sit a year behind either Bridgewater or McCown and fine tune his game.

5 - DEN: Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame
Denver opts to pass up on QB and plan on building a line to protect Keenum

6 - IND: Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State

10 - OAK: Roquan Smith, ILB, Georgia
With Tahir Whitehead and Smith, Oakland has a strong linebacking corps.

11 - MIA: Tremaine Edmunds, OLB, Virginia Tech
Miami will hold off on drafting a QB for now and take a freak defensive talent with tons of potential.

12 - (FROM BUF) CHI: Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB/S, Alabama
Bears get a versatile DB to pair up with Fuller, Amos, and Jackson.

San Francisco needs pass rush after being 26th in sacks in 2017.

16 - BAL: Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
Maclin and Wallace are gone, Crabtree is aging, and Perriman is a huge question mark, Flacco gets a stable #1 WR.

Brees gets another offensive weapon to pair up with Michael Thomas.

28 - PIT: Rashaan Evans, ILB, Alabama
With Shazier possibly never playing again and definitely not playing in 2018, ILB is a pressing need that should be addressed early.
