Again, I am no expert, but I think some teams hit the panic button.
1) Cleveland - stayed strong, fought off going Qb for Qbs that were not valued this high and took a real game changer on defense. On a side note, the HC is a offense oriented guy, and even he said he wanted Garrett over any of these Qbs. What does that say about these Qbs?
2) San Fran - God bless the new management of San Fran - they dropped one pick lower and got and extra 3rd and 4th round pick this year and a 3rd next year for a one slot drop. Great move. Chicago then reaches for the Qb of their future in Trubisky. I actually like this, as they can let him learn while Glennon gets beat up. Chicago has a solid Rb, and OL is pretty good. But they need Wr help.
3) Chicago - trades to San fran - again kudos to Lynch for convincing Chicago they were getting calls. Get top flight DL to rebuild horrible defense.
4) Jacksonville - can you say new offense??? I thought you could, the stamp has been placed, they won't lose on Bortles arm anymore, this will be the Fournette show. Just hope he can stay healthy.
5) Tennessee - this pick intrigues me. Tenn. has two first round picks, and has some dire needs. Wr is one of them, the fact they took Davis who I LOVE, vs. Williams will be the judgement here. Still, getting Mariota one more toy to play with is very solid.
6) Jets go solid and safe and take the best S in this draft in Jamal Adams. Love the pick, they need to fix the defense, and this is a great start.
7)L.A. Chargers - don't like this pick, not at all. They have a great offense with TEs and Wrs and Qb already...what they needed was DL, OL and DB help. Granted Williams could be a great Wr, but they gave up a shot at some incredible talent.
8) Carolina - McCaffrey Rb - don't like this pick either. Loved the thought of Fournette here, but not McCaffrey. Carolina does not throw to the Rb, and Cam isn't that accurate. Unless that has changed and they are changing the offense, this was a very bad move IMO.
9) Cincinnati - John Ross Wr - Yikes. Just Yikes. Got speed out the wazoo, but can't stay healthy. Just don't like this at all, when there were Lbs out there and DL out there that would have made this team much, much better. Just Yikes.
10) KC - trades with Buffalo - can you say things have REALLY changed in Buffalo??? What a friggen steal. Seriously, I give this a better grade to Buffalo than San Fran. They move down from 10 to 27 - granted a huge drop but the Def. talent is dropping in this draft, and they score an extra 3rd rounder this year, and KC's first rounder next year. Kudos to the GM in Buffalo who is trying to keep his job. KC takes the Qb of the future and its....MAHOMES!!! At friggen #10?!?!?!?! I get it Andy, you love the gun slinger, you love the Farve esque look. But up to #10?!?!?!? I think you over reached my friend. I hope he is Farve, cause moves like this will get you fired if he is not.
11) Saints - OH NO - Sanity has come back to this draft...and its New Orleans making it sane.......OMG. What a friggen steal to get the most dire need for this team, with the best Cb in this draft and getting it without paying any extra. Saints probably ran folks over to get this pick to the podium. Oh, yeah I am a bit of an Ohio State homer
12) Houston - trade with Cleveland - Yes the analytics guy is working this draft. Cleveland gets Houston's #25 pick in this draft AND their first round pick next year to drop from 12. Not a bad haul at all. Houston then takes Watson as their Qb of the future. My only issue here is, Houston has a Qb to bridge, but he can't stay healthy. Might end up being forced to push Watson. At lease Watson will have tools to work with.
13) Arizona - goes Haason Reddick - LB they need ILB help, and this kid shows some spark, but he is a late comer, so hopefully he works out.
14) Philadelphia - YES! Friggen YES - there are two ways to fix a backfield for a def. First is to draft or acquire top flight Cbs. 2nd is to have a heck of a pass rush where the Qb has no time to find the Wrs. In my opinion, they got one of the best DE in this draft, and he can play OLB as well. They still have to address Cb, but there is depth in this draft for defense, so I am not worried.
15) Indianapolis - Hooker for the Win - great, great FS, and will help that porous defense a ton. Nice pick.
