#1

Cleveland Browns

Myles Garrett

DE

Texas A&M

Analysis: The Browns did a good job last April making trades and collecting extra selections. The problem started when they used those picks. The Browns must start collecting great football players and Myles Garrett gets them headed in the right direction.  

 

#2

San Francisco 49ers

Solomon Thomas

DE

Stanford

Analysis: On one hand Thomas doesn’t make sense when you consider the 49ers took defensive linemen in the first round the past two drafts. But like Cleveland, the 49ers must take best player available and start collecting potentially great players. Thomas is loved in many areas of the scouting world and makes sense as BPA.

 

#3

Chicago Bears

Jonathan Allen

DL

Alabama

Analysis: Defensive line is a legitimate need, and despite a poor combine performance Allen is a terrific player on film who will flourish in the Bears system.

 

#4

Jacksonville Jaguars

Leonard Fournette

RB

LSU

Analysis: The Jaguars have drafted for need for years and it has cost them dearly. Fournette is BPA and immediately upgrades the running game.

 

#5

Tennessee Titans (via Los Angeles Rams)

O.J. Howard

TE

Alabama

Analysis: I’d prefer to put a receiver or cornerback here, but Howard rates higher than any player at those positions on my board and tight end is a need for the Titans. He also offers Marcus Mariota a big-time target and will help as a blocker.

 

#6

New York Jets

Malik Hooker

S

Ohio State

Analysis: Jamal Adams may be a better fit for the Jets system but he’s too much like Calvin Pryor -- best up the field and in the box. Hooker is like having a cornerback who stuffs the run in the middle of the field. In the end I believe the Jets will trade out of this spot.

 

#7

Los Angeles Chargers

Jamal Adams

S

LSU

Analysis: Adams is not the true free safety the Chargers would prefer but improves the position the day the team selects him.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
