THE WINNER

Round 1

Picks 1-16 Picks 17-32 Round 2
17.
Caleb Lomu , OT , Utah
Detroit needs a LT and now that Pittsburgh jumped in front of them for Proctor they take the last 1st round quality one available. A little rich for my blood at #17 but a massive need is filled
18.
Dillon Thieneman , S , Oregon
Minnesota is not leaving round 1 without a new safety. Thieneman will allow them to move on from Harrison Smith.
19.
Jermod McCoy , CB , Tennessee
McCoy drops due to injury concerns but Carolina see's too much value here to pass him up. CB isn't a major need right now but he's worth a roll of the dice here.
20.
Colton Hood , CB , Tennessee
KC is waiting no more for their new CB. Hood might overtake McCoy as the 2nd CB taken tonight, but not here. Dallas gets picks #29 & #74.
21.
Anthony Hill Jr. , LB , Texas
Tampa trades down and takes Hill who I have ranked over CJ Allen. Major need here so trading down and filling the need is smooth.
22.
Vega Ioane , G , Penn State
OL was a major issue last year for the Chargers. They draft the top rated guard here and improve their depth in the process.
23.
Francis Mauigoa , OT , Miami
Another fall due to injury concerns. Philadelphia is a team that always scoops up the falling star. He can just get his back surgery out of the way and the Eagles can transition from Lane Johnson in a year or two.
24.
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren , S , Toledo
No OL for Cleveland in the 1st round! Blasphemy! Coach Monken comes from Baltimore and saw the success that playing 3 safeties can bring.
25.
Keldric Faulk , DE , Auburn
Chicago and Faulk seem like a perfect marriage. He fits their 4-3 scheme nicely.
26.
K.C. Concepcion , WR , Texas A&M
A shifty WR to pair with the newly acquired DJ Moore and Shakir. You're welcome Josh Allen.
27.
Malachi Lawrence , DE , Central Florida
I've had Peter Woods here forever and now I'm changing it at the last minute. Drinking the Kool-aid on Lawrence sneaking into round 1.
28.
Kayden McDonald , DT , Ohio State
Monster run stuffing NT here for Houston. He's young and will slowly be worked into the rotation.
29.
Cashius Howell , DE , Texas A&M
Dallas picks up the edge rushing specialist they need to try and replace Parson's production.
30.
Max Iheanachor , OT , Arizona State
Miami's OL was terrible and Miami is getting their newly acquired QB some more round 1 help.
31.
Gabe Jacas , DE , Illinois
Coach Vrabel will hold my hand tonight if this comes true for him. They need more juice on the edge and Jacas is a high motor man.
32.
Akheem Mesidor , DE , Miami
Miami trades up for Ty Simpson! Or Mesidor is maybe a better a fit. Three 1st round picks for the Dolphins. They give up picks #43 and #90 to Seattle
Picks 1-16 Picks 17-32 Round 2
