Round 1

Picks 1-16
1. Titans: Cam Ward, QB, Miami

The only pick in Guitar Town


2. Browns: Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Question - why select Hunter at #2 if he's only going to play WR? As a player, Hunter's value lies in his two-way ability. Otherwise he's being overdrafted. Let him cook!


3. Giants: Abdul Carter, OLB, Penn State

Hello, value


4. Patriots: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Vrabel gets his guy


5. Jaguars: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Staying Graham here


6. Raiders: Kelvin Banks, OT/G, Texas

Everyone knows that Jeanty should NOT be the pick. Adding Jeanty to the Raiders is just repeating the Saquon or CMC experience again. Vegas will be staring at a franchise tackle in Banks. I think wisdom prevails


7. Jets: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

It's Warren/Banks for the Jets/Bears. I think NYJ will veer away from OL in rd1 having selected Fashanu last year


8. Panthers: Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia

Only pick - Panthers must address front 7


9. Broncos: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

trade (Saints)

Sean Payton gets his guy


10. Bears: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

This pick will be a tell for Chicago. Take OL and build for success or blow the pick on a TE or something


11. 49ers: Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss

For the past few years Kyle and Lynch have poured resources along the perimeter (CMC trade, Aiyuk, Pearsall). BBNG trenches are looking thin these days


12. Cowboys: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas

Pick is between OL/DL and WR. Dallas has run so hot in the 1st rd that it leads me to believe they will shoot high


13. Dolphins: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Phins need OL talent to keep the carnival rides a-spinnin'


14. Colts: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Like this a lot for Indy. Adding value above replacement


15. Falcons: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia

Falcons #1 need: help in the front 7


16. Cardinals: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Pick must be on defense. Selected MH2 and Paris Johnson past few drafts
