First 10 picks of the draft according to your draft expert, me.
Jacksonville Jaguars: QB Trevor Lawrence- Clemson
No brainer, the Jets are officially on the clock. Unless they bring in that mercenary Urban Meyer, who then takes power from Shad Khan, relocates the Jaguars to Columbus, Ohio and creates a feeder system with Ohio State. Do you really want your business associated with a man with terrible ethics, a thirst for power and coincidental migraines when things don’t go his way, Mr. Khan? At least you have your quarterback for the next 15 years.
New York Jets: QB Justin Fields-Ohio State
The next few sentences will contradict this point: but I do like Justin Fields. The Sugar Bowl showed his competitiveness and NFL scouts are going to fall in love with his combine/pro day. However, if I were a new coach for the New York Jets, I would really lobby for trading this pick and building the rest of this disastrous roster. I’m still not sure if Sam Darnold is as terrible as he’s looked with the dumpster fire surrounding him. Build the rest of the roster, if he’s not the guy, pick a quarterback a few years later when you can get a guy in his rookie deal and make a playoff run. Not sure if it’s the right decision, but regardless the Jets will definitely make the wrong one.
Miami Dolphins: WR Jaylen Waddle-Alabama
I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Dolphins move out of this spot, but they also need a playmaker opposite of DeVante Parker. If Jaylen Waddle could’ve stayed healthy, we might be talking about him as the Heisman favorite instead of Devonta Smith. Another huge need is interior offensive lineman, so I’d rather them collect some assets from other dumb needy franchcises who want to move up to get their guy…too bad Bill O’Brien isn’t around to gift ya’ll another top 5 draft pick. Classic “let future me figure it out” that guy was…
Atlanta Falcons: Edge Kwity Paye-Michigan
What happens to this pick will depend on the future head coach/GM pairing the ghost of Arthur Blank decides to hire. I believe someone such as Eric Bieniemy will want to stick with Matt Ryan and groom a quarterback of the future, meaning their focus should be on the abysmal defense Dan Quinn, defensive guru, leaves behind. Rahim Moore got the group to play better down the stretch, but there are a ton of holes on that side of the ball. I could also see Gregory Rousseau go here, but no 2020 tape may hurt his draft stock.
Cincinnati Bengals: OT Penei Sewell-Oregon
What the Bengals have done to AJ Green’s career should be illegal and I’ll be damned if they do the same to our sweet prince Joe Burrow. Draft as many offensive linemen as you possibly can, PLEASE. Sewell opted out of 2020, so if you don’t know who he is, don’t worry you’re in the majority. All you need to know is he is a monster who will protect the face of the franchise for the rest of his career, so please don’t mess this up Zach Taylor.
Philadelphia Eagles: CB Patrick Surtain II-Alabama
If you want to stop tanking in the NFL, take away this pick and suspend Doug Pederson (Follow @shane0h on twitter to find a different reason he should be fired everyday). Teams will still covertly tank, but at least we won’t ever see the atrocious acts against our beloved game that bozo coach pulled on the last Sunday Night Football game of the NFL season. If the NFL is spineless, expect the Eagles to take Surtain, a linebacker or wide receiver with this pick. Honestly, the whole team might quit unless they fire Doug Pederson, so trade all of your draft picks for next year and play with practice squad players this year, losers.
Detroit Lions: QB Zach Wilson-BYU
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Wilson drafted before this, potentially the previously mentioned trade spot with the dolphins or to the falcons. For Zach Wilson’s sake, I hope he finds a good situation where he can sit and learn behind someone, but that typically doesn’t happen with a top 10 pick. Hopefully the future head coach will have the patience and wherewithal to develop WIlson. That being said, there’s the acronym SOL for “same old lions” for a reason, and they will find a way to screw it up.
Carolina Panthers: LB Micah Parsons-Penn State
You could flip this pick with the Philadelphia Tankers and it would still make sense. Both teams need a linebacker and Parsons is one of the few guys in the country with first round talent, but it will be interesting to see how teams evaluate guys who missed the 2020 season… I miss Luke Kuechley. I could also see Matt Rhule using this pick on a napkin to clean the drool of his stupid smocks.
Denver Broncos: OT/OG Alijah Vera-Tucker-USC
PRAISE JESUS!!! John Elway put his pride to the side and hired a GM to help build the team. Does this mean he’s keeping his word about Vic Fangio and Drew Lock though? I believe patience is necessary to get this team back into contention and it starts with protecting whoever is behind center. Vera-Tucker stood out at both Tackle and Guard at USC and the cornerback position is extremely deep in this class, so we can address those needs later. Give Drew Lock some time in the pocket so he can do his cringe worthy touchdown dances.
Dallas Cowboys: OT Christian Darrisaw-VT
Mike McCarthy and his garbage brains were 4-10 in games he didn’t smash watermelons, leaving the opaque Gallagher one watermelon game short of the playoffs. The Cowboys’ offensive line desperately needs help and Darrisaw looked great against ACC competition….making it the smart pick; however, we all know this pick 100% depends on how much Johnny Walker Blue Jerry Jones drinks on draft night. I can see him with Mike McCarthy in the war room now, “To hell with it fat boy, let’s go get Ja’Marr Chase from LSU…YEE YEE!”
