Round 1

Picks 17-31
17. Steelers: Brian Branch, S, Alabama

Branch is such a versatile player who will be able to move around the defense as a valuable asset.


18. Lions: Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson

Adding Tyree Wilson and Bresee legitimately makes the Lions a terrifying defensive front. NFC North QB's are quivering.


19. Bills: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

*TRADE UP*
The Bills have to energize this run game. Bijan and James Cook will form a dominant duo.


20. Seahawks: Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU

Geno Smith is going to be given every opportunity to succeed. This pass catching group is going to be hard to stop.


21. Chargers: Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah

This is another receiving weapon for Herbert. Kincaid is an immediate upgrade over Gerald Everett.


22. Ravens: Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh

The Ravens will address receiver later in the draft. Baltimore loves tough football and Kancey can step in to replace Calais Campbell in the trenches.


23. Vikings: Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland

Brian Flores is going to turn this defense around. Banks is ultra-athletic and will be a great replacement for Patrick Peterson.


24. Jaguars: O'Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida

Offensive Line is a big need and they land a massive guard who can move people.


25. Giants: Jordan Addison, WR, USC

The Giants just need a playmaker and Addison fits that bill. Daniel Jones will finally get a weapon to help him.


26. Cowboys: Jack Campbell, LB, Iowa

Jack Campbell comes into the league with all the accolades you would look for in a first rounder. He is physical, smart, and athletic.


27. Buccaneers: Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia

*TRADED DOWN*
Washington has all the potential to be an all time tight end. Tampa has shown in previous years that they are not afraid to draft a tight end high.


28. Texans: Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia

*TRADE UP*
The Texans will be looking to build up that defense. Who better than a physical freak like Nolan Smith. They will gladly trade up into the first round to land this kind of talent.


29. Saints: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

Cam Smith will join Marshon Lattimore to try and improve this Saints defense.


30. Eagles: Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson

The Eagles front 7 rotation is the perfect place for a guy like Myles Murphy to develop.


31. Chiefs: Will McDonald, DE, Iowa State

McDonald's pass rush win rate is so impressive. The Chiefs will give him the opportunities to do just that.
