Hello all! It is almost time for the NFL Draft! Here are my picks for the first round! This is the first 10 picks of the draft. The rest will come in the coming days.
- Tennessee Titans – QB Cam Ward
He is one of the most pure passers in the college game. Tennessee needs a QB. He is the most pro-ready QB of this draft. Has a pure arm.
2. Cleveland Browns – OT Will Campbell
This guy is one of the most durable offensive tackles in this draft. Playing in the SEC at LSU, one of the toughest conferences to play in, he played up to the competition. He will fare well against the T.J. Watt’s and the defensive fronts of the AFC and AFC North.
3. New York Giants – WR/CB Travis Hunter
This guy is one of the most electrifying players in this draft. New York could not go wrong with this pick. Whenever his QB at Colorado needed him to make a play, he made the play. He will do wonders for this team this coming fall.
4. New England Patriots – DE/LB Abdul Carter
The New England Patriots have a lot of needs. I think they get one of the best pass rushers in this draft, with this pick. He is exactly a player that Mike Vrabel would want.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – DE Mason Graham
This guy is a home-run for the Jacksonville Jaguars here. You can put him on anywhere on the D-line, and he will create havoc. Especially in rush defense.
6. Las Vegas Raiders – CB Will Johnson
This guy is your definition of a lock-down CB in the draft. He can be put anywhere in the defensive backfield and make plays. Ask Michigan.
7. New York Jets – OT Kelvin Banks
Justin Fields is going to need pass protection. Kelvin Banks from Texas did a superior job on the edge for Texas in the run game and the passing game. At 315 pounds, he will do more than hold his own.
8. Carolina Panthers – DE Jalon Walker
It’s time to beef up the defensive front for Carolina at this pick. They need to find someone who can attack from the outside and scare the opposing QBs in this division, and the NFC for that matter.
9. New Orleans Saints – QB Shedeur Sanders
No one seems to know where this guy is going to land. With new coach Kellen Moore doing the calls, it is time for him to get his guy. Who knows how long Derek Carr is going to play QB at the level he is. The ultimate question is: Is Spencer Rattler the next guy at QB? I’m not sure that the front office of New Orleans believes that, and so they get their guy.
10. Chicago Bears – TE Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland played his whole career in the Big 10, and Michigan for that matter. He was very integral to their successes, especially in the run-blocking for Donovan Edwards and that running game in Michigan. He could play multiple positions in Ben Johnson’s scheme.
