No brainer here. However, if he's going to have any immediate success the Raiders will have to put him in an RPO system like he ran in college.
I really think David Bailey would be the wiser pick here as I believe he will have more success in the NFL. But the Jets never even met with him, so once again the Jets are being the Jets.
3.
I'm back and forth on whether the Cardinals would stay at this spot or trade down with the Cowboys. The main problem I have is I don't have a feel for who they would take at the #12 and #20 spot that they would like more than Bailey, so I think they'll stand pat and take the best pash rusher in the draft.
Pollard and Spears are in the final year of their contracts so it makes sense to take Love here.
This was a tough call between Lemon and Tyson, but the #5 spot is high for an injury prone player. Also, I went with the guy the Giants seemed to have the most interest in at a position of need.
This was an easy pick. Perfect blend of need and best player available.
7.
This was another tough call between Downs and Tyson, but again Tyson is injury-prone and the Commanders need more help on defense than offense. Plus, I think Downs is a once in a decade defensive player.
The Saints desperately need a WR. Despite being injury prone, Tyson has great upside and size, in addition to being very productive and consistent when he is healthy.
The Chiefs have been missing an edge rush presence for a long time but that's all over with this pick. Bain is a perfect fit both in physicality and personality for Spags' defense.
The Giants need more pass protection up the middle. Fano played outside in college but he's a really good pass protector and due to shorter arms will likely have to kick inside in the pros.
A nice, safe pick for the new GM that matches a position of great need. He's also a local talent.
Styles isn't and never will be the elite pass rusher that Parsons was, but he's better against the run and an even better athlete than Parsons.
With D. Adams in the last year of his contract and P. Nacua potentially facing a suspension, the Rams have been looking heavily at WRs. Concepcion is fast and has great hands in traffic.
Ravens could really use another great CB on the outside. Delane is the top CB prospect and the best option for the Ravens.
15.
With the Bucs having a big need for a pass rusher and Mesidor should be able to transfer well to OLB in Bowles' scheme.
The Jets have been looking very closely at the WR's projected to be taken in the 1st round and Cooper is the best remaining of the bunch. He's a TD machine that the Jets can build around.
