Round 1

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

Better get used to mayo in your coffee, buddy. That's how the QB room does it in Nashville


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

Can't wait to see what Hunter can do when focusing primarily on offense for the first time since... middle school? Seriously, I don't think he gets enough credit for going 96/1,258/15 while attending all the defensive and DB position group meetings


3. Giants: Abdul Carter, OLB, Penn State

NASCAR package 2.0 in New Jersey


4. Patriots: Will Campbell, OT, LSU

Protecting the franchise QB trumps everything else with Hunter and Carter off the board


5. Jaguars: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Who knows, Liam Coen may change his mind twice while JAX is still on the clock


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

Tom Brady knows the value of a stout OL, especially in a class short on blue chippers. Brady hated pressure up the middle and sees the value in a sturdy pocket if Banks ends up landing at OG


7. Jets: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

Might be a better QB than Justin Fields based on what we saw in limited snaps at Penn St. Ol' Joe Pa is looking up and smiling watching Warren and Carter go top 7


8. Panthers: Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia

The draft could get really fun at #8 in the Panthers go elsewhere after months of talk about their interest in Walker


9. Saints: Mason Graham, DT, Michigan

Would the Saints double up at DT so soon after taking Breese in R1? I like Graham's value if they're bypassing QB, though I'll kick myself if they go OL as has been their recent trend


10. Bears: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

Protect the franchise QB at all costs. Chicago has invested heavily in its IOL and could use another long-term OT across from Darnell Wright


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

SF is more fun when their DL is humming after Packers quarterbacks in January. Rumor has it that Nolen hasn't received glowing reviews from his college coaches, but I'll gamble on his upside in a flat class


12. Cowboys: Tyler Booker, G, Alabama

Nick Martin left behind a huge hole in Big D


13. Dolphins: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Dolphins swing big on a Terron Armstead replacement to protect Tua and Achane


14. Colts: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan

Loveland's wingspan might be even big enough for Anthony Richardson to hit more than 40% of the time


15. Falcons: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia

Falcons need pass rush and go with the local product


16. Cardinals: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas

Jonathan Gannon would love deploying a versatile piece like Barron across his secondary
