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.

3 - NYJ: Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
Allen can sit a year behind either Bridgewater or McCown and fine tune his game.

4 - CLE: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
The Browns continue to revamp their offense by grabbing the most exciting and prolific playmaker in the draft.

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
Colts were 31st in sacks last year. Chubb is the best pass rusher in the draft.

7 - TB: Derwin James, S, Florida State
James brings a much needed presence in the secondary.

8 - (FROM CHI) BUF: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
Buffalo trades with the Bears to move up to take Mayfield

9 - (FROM SF) ARI: Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
Arizona trades with San Francisco to jump in front of Miami to grab their franchise QB.

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.

13 - WAS: Vita Vea, DT, Washington
Vea will help fix the Redskins' weak run defense.

14 - GB: Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State
Green Bay gets a top corner, something they haven't had in years.

15 - (FROM ARI) SF: Marcus Davenport, DE, UTSA
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.

17 - LAC: Leighton Vander Esch, ILB, Boise State
Chargers continue to build up their defense by getting their QB of the defense.

18 - SEA: Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa
Seattle needs to start a new LOB with Sherman gone.

19 - DAL: Da'Ron Payne, DT, Alabama
Dallas needs to fortify their D-Line.

Even with the addition of Blount, Detroit needs another talented RB since Abdullah didn't work out well.

Bengals fortify their offensive line, especially the interor.

Falcons need a solid presence at DT with the loss of Dontari Poe.

27 - NO: Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
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.

29 - JAX: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
Jaguars need a solid RT to block for Fournette and Bortles.

30 - MIN: Connor Williams, OT, Texas
Minnesota needs help at OT to keep their $30 million QB healthy.

New England strengthens their interior O-Line to help keep Brady untouched in the pocket.

Looks solid. Cowboys haven't drafted interior dlineman high for ages but lot of mocks have them taking one and it could change. However, I don't see NE taking interior offensive lineman in the 1st. They haven't valued those positions so highly in the past and they have very solid trio there already in Thuney-Andrews-Mason. Other than that, no major disagreements with any pick. Especially like the Colts pick!
