This is going to be an incredible
first round. Anytime you have a draft with a players that has a range from fifth
overall to the middle of the second round (Myles Jack), you know it’s going to
be entertaining. Another guy, Darron Lee, is a top-10 pick in some mocks. I don’t
have him as a Day 1 pick.
Here’s my last attempt at predicting
what will happen tonight. It will probably go up in flames as soon as the
Titans trade back to the 6-slot when Laremy Tunsil slips, but that’s unavoidable.
1. Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff, QB,
Cal

Wentz, QB, North Dakota State

Other thoughts:
-It wouldn’t shock me if any of
these guys were picked in Round 1 either:
Darron Lee, LB, Ohio State
Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson
Jihad Ward, DE, Illinois
Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Ohlahoma State
Kamalei Correa, DE, Boise State
Shilique Calhoun, DE, Michigan State
-Hopefully this DB from Houston
(Willie Jackson) turns out better than the last one Oakland picked (DJ Hayden).
Or maybe, the two work nicely together and raise each other’s games.
-My favorite players in this draft:
Doctson, Ragland, and Butler. I also have a soft spot for any quality OU receivers which makes me fond of Shephard.
-I will be disappointed if I don't hit at least 8 of 31 exact picks and any less than 28 first rounders.
