Grades:Round 1 A component with "marker-draft-tracker-nfl" slug not found to render the marker. (Slug not found) 1. Bengals: QB Joe Burrow, LSUGrade: A.He will be a star. This kid has all the tools to be a big-time NFL quarterback. The Bengals will be winners soon. 2. Redskins: EDGE Chase Young, Ohio StateGrade: A.The power, the speed, reminds me of Julius Peppers. He's an exceptional athlete. It's a pa ser and pa s rushers league. Last year they got their pa ser and this year they got the pa s rusher.3. Lions: CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio StateGrade: B.I think they should have taken Derrick Brown. When in doubt, take the big guy. I don't think you can pa s on big people that play like Derrick Brown. 4. Giants: OT Andrew Thomas, GeorgiaGrade:B+. He's the best tackle in this draft cla s. I think he's the cleanest tackle. This kid's going to be a longtime starter on Fredrik Claesson Men Jersey the left side. This year he'll start on the right. 5. Dolphins: QB Tua Tagovailoa, AlabamaGrade:B. I understand why they picked him. The tape is good at times. There's also a lot of bad on that tape. He's not a big guy, he's a little brittle. To dismi s the medicals is ridiculous. 6. Chargers: QB Justin Herbert, OregonGrade:B.This Alex Formenton Jersey kid has all the tools. Give him a little time and he can develop into a big-time quarterback. There's a lot to work with there. Yeah, he's got some mechanical i sues but he can get those fixed.7. Panthers, DT Derrick Brown, AuburnGrade:A+. I love this pick. I love this player. I think Derrick Brown will be a force in the NFL. Plays with such power. Reminds me of the late Jerome Brown. 8. Cardinals, LB Isaiah Simmons, ClemsonGrade:B-. I'm not in love with this kid as a player. The range is phenomenal, but where does he play? Is he a safety? Is he a linebacker? Is he a hybrid? This kid to me is a safety. I don't think he's physical enough to play near the line of scrimmage.9. Jaguars, CB CJ Henderson, FloridaGrade:B+. I love him because he can cover. There are so many guys in the NFL that I talked to leading up to the draft that thought he was better than Okudah.10. Browns, OT Jedrick Wills, AlabamaGrade: B. There's better upside from the other two tackles available. This kid is clearly a right tackle, but has the body of a guard. I think there will be a transition for him moving over to the left side if indeed that's where they play him. 11. Jets, OT Mekhi Becton, LouisvilleGrade:B. Here's the thing on Becton, he's a freak athletically. He has a tendency to get really heavy and that's a concern. If he can keep his weight in check and be dedicated to his craft, he's going to be a good football player. 12. Raiders, WR Henry Ruggs III, AlabamaGrade:A.You can't teach speed. This kid can take the top off. He's tough. He'll be able to handle pre s coverage in the NFL.13. Buccaneers, OT Tristan Wirfs, IowaGrade: B. I think it's a solid pick. I don't think there's much difference between the top four tackles. I had Thomas as my top tackle, but not by much. 14. 49ers, DT Javon Kinlaw, South CarolinaGrade:B-. It's not that I don't like Kinlaw. He has the potential to be a dominant player like Chris Jones of the Chiefs. But is he a better player than DeForest Buckner who Zack Smith Kids Jersey they traded for to get the Colts pick? E sentially they replaced Buckner with Kinlaw. 15. Broncos, WR Jerry Jeudy, AlabamaGrade:B. I like Jeudy a lot. He's the best route runner in this draft. One concern I have with him is he's really thin. Will he be able to hold up to pre s coverage?16. Falcons, CB A.J. Terrell, ClemsonGrade:C+. I don't love this pick. I think desperation forced this pick because they have i sues at corner. They saw the first two corners go off the board and stood pat and went corner. There were pa s rushers available. 17. Cowboys, WR CeeDee Lamb, OklahomaGrade:B+. This is a cla sic case of a team not expecting the player to be there. The didn't nece sarily need a WR, but he was there. I think they would have picked a pa s rusher here had Lamb not fallen to them. If you are true to your board and have a great grade on the guy, you have to take him. 18. Dolphins, OT, Austin Jackson, USCGrade:C-. I would have gone with Ezra Cleveland. Austin Jackson is a project. It might take a year or two for him to become the player people think he can become. I'm concerned about this pick for Miami.19. Raiders, CB Damon Arnette, Ohio StateGrade:B.He was on my Better-Than-Team. I didn't think he would go this high, but I gue s he was on the Raiders Better-Than-Team. He's a little grabby in his technique. I think he's a South Florida kid with an attitude. I don't think there's a significant difference between him and Okudah. 20. Jaguars, EDGE K'Lavon Chai son, LSUGrade: B+. This is a guy that has to stay on the field. When he was on the field he was productive, but he had some injury i sues. He has to show that he can hold up against the run at 254 pounds.21. Eagles, WR Jalen Reagor, TCUGrade:B.I love Reagor. He didn't run a very good 40 at the combine. The night after that run his agent told me he put on some water weight. A couple days before they had him timed much faster. He's got good speed.22. Vikings, WR Justin Jefferson, LSUGrade:A.I love this pick. He's not (Stefon) Diggs, but he's also not going to complain every play like Diggs did. I thought he would go before this. 23. Chargers, LB Kenneth Murray, OklahomaGrade:B.They gave up a bunch to go get him, but he's a big-time playmaker.24. Saints, C Cesar Ruiz, MichiganGrade:A.I love this player. Would go to the Pro Bowl for seven or eight years as a center. But where is he going to play for the Saints? I thought he'd be a great center, but he'll probably play right guard for them. Good player, but strange pick by the Saints.25. 49ers, WR Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona St.Grade:B+. I love this kid. In this offense Tyler Ennis Jersey he's going to be phenomenal. He's only scratching the surface. When he catches the ball, boom he's gone. He will be an effective player in that offense.26. Packers, QB Jordan Love, Utah StateGrade:D. Terrible move by the Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers told me last summer he wants to play until he's 40. They needed a receiver. They needed defensive help. Sitting behind Rodgers will do Love well, but not going to do the Packers well. You're on the cusp of getting to a Super Bowl, get Rodgers some help. 27. Seahawks, LB Jordyn Brooks, Texas TechGrade:C+. I like Brooks. The i sue is this is a pick for the future for a team that should be picking to win right now. They have other i sues like pa s rusher. Yetur Gro s-Matos was sitting there, I would have taken him.28. Ravens, LB Patrick Queen, LSUGrade:B. I love this pick. I think Queen is going to be a star in this defense. I think this kid's range is outstanding. He can go sideline to sideline.29. Titans, OT Isaiah Wilson, GeorgiaGrade:B+. I think this is a good pick. This is a ma sive right tackle on a team that needs a ma sive right tackle. This kid is a mauler in the run game and he's perfect for what the Titans want to do. 30. Dolphins, CB Noah Igbinoghene, AuburnGrade:A+. The captain of my Better-Than-Team. I think this pick is outstanding. He's a great pre s man guy. He tackled 10 times better than I expected from a track guy.31. Vikings, CB Jeff Gladney, TCUGrade: B.It's a need pick, no question about it. I like the player. There are some character concerns, that's something they'll have to addre s. Mike Zimmer loves to draft corners. This pick makes sense.32. Chiefs, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSUGrade:B-. I'm not a big fan of taking running backs in the first round, but when you have Patrick Mahomes it's OK to take a running back like this in the first round. Reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew Cody Ceci Men Jersey .
