How y'all feel about Zach Cunningham? He seems to be a wrap up and drag type defender. I only watched one video tho.

I really hope the Texans take a QB early. Mahomes is the best one ive seen so far coming out IMO.
Been hearing a lot about the Breh. I usually dont trust Texas Tech QBs because of the Air Raid they usually run , is he legit though?

That tech system got me kinda worried too. All the qbs coming out need work IMO. I like his skillset above Kizer and Watson. Trubisky overrated AF.

RANK
1
BROWNS
Myles Garrett - DE, Texas A&M: The Browns are in desperate need of a quarterback, but I think Garrett will be too tempting to pass up. He has all-pro talent and will be a perfect fit in Cleveland's new defensive scheme.
RANK
2
49ERS
Mitch Trubisky - QB, North Carolina: The 49ers need to address the quarterback position and Trubisky has a very intriguing skill set. Trading down would also make a lot of sense because of the lack of talent on this roster.
RANK
3
BEARS
Jonathan Allen - DT, Alabama: The Addition of Allen would give the Bears one of the best young defensive lines in the NFL. He can play multiple spots and is one of the most technically sound defensive linemen I've ever evaluated.
RANK
4
JAGUARS
Jamal Adams - S, LSU: Adams is a tone-setter and would team up with Jalen Ramsey to give the Jaguars two superstars in the secondary. Jacksonville needs offensive line help, but Adams is too good to bypass.
RANK
5
TITANS
Marshon Lattimore - CB, Ohio State: The Titans could add Corey Davis -- the draft's best receiver -- in this spot, but Lattimore is a special talent and fills a need on the roster. He has incredible cover skills and will match up well with the elite wideouts in the AFC South.
RANK
6
JETS
DeShone Kizer - QB, Notre Dame: The Jets have a lot of quarterbacks on their roster but none as gifted as Kizer. He will need some time to develop but he has the size, arm talent and athleticism to become a reliable starting quarterback.
RANK
7
CHARGERS
Malik Hooker - S, Ohio State: With the best ball skills of any safety I've ever evaluated, Hooker would benefit from the pass rush led by Joey Bosa. If Jason Verrett comes back healthy, this could quickly become one of the best secondaries in the NFL.
RANK
8
PANTHERS
Leonard Fournette - RB, LSU: The Panthers need to take some pressure off of Cam Newton, and that's exactly what Fournette would do. He wasn't healthy during his final season at LSU, but his tape was still impressive. He is a true workhorse running back.
RANK
9
BENGALS
Reuben Foster - LB, Alabama: The Bengals need to add more playmakers to their defense and Foster is one of the most explosive linebackers to come out in the last few years. He has similar range to Patrick Willis when he was coming out of Ole Miss.
RANK
10
BILLS
Corey Davis - WR, Western Michigan: Davis is a complete receiver who would be an excellent complement to Sammy Watkins. His combination of route running, ball skills and toughness is outstanding.
RANK
11
SAINTS
Tre'Davious White - CB, LSU: White is a one of the most improved players in the country and played at a very high level in 2016. His ball skills and toughness would be a great addition to the Saints' defense.
RANK
12
BROWNS
Dalvin Cook - RB, Florida St.: The Browns could look at Deshaun Watson with this pick, but Cook would be tough to pass up. He would fit beautifully in Hue Jackson's offense.
RANK
13
CARDINALS
Sidney Jones - CB, Washington: Jones is one of the most reliable players in the entire draft class. He doesn't get the same amount of attention as some other cornerbacks, but he is very highly regarded by NFL evaluators.
RANK
14
COLTS
Derek Barnett - DE, Tennessee: The Colts are in desperate need of a young edge rusher. Barnett has some tightness but his production speaks for itself.
RANK
15
EAGLES
Mike Williams - WR, Clemson: Williams would instantly become their top weapon and give Carson Wentz some needed help. He could go much higher than 15, but if he's there, expect the Eagles to run the card up to the table.
RANK
16
RAVENS
Quincy Wilson - CB, Florida: Wilson is a very talented press cornerback with excellent ball skills. He would upgrade the Ravens' secondary, teaming with Jimmy Smith to give Baltimore two of the biggest corners in the league.
RANK
17
REDSKINS
Solomon Thomas - DE, Stanford: Thomas is a very dynamic interior pass rusher who I'd love to see line up next to Ryan Kerrigan in this defense. His motor never stops, and his performance against North Carolina and QB Mitch Trubisky in the Sun Bowl wowed NFL scouts.
RANK
18
TITANS
David Njoku - TE, Miami: The Titans need to give Marcus Mariota some more weapons; Njoku has the highest upside of any tight end in the draft. He would team up with Delanie Walker to terrorize opposing safeties and linebackers.
RANK
19
BUCCANEERS
Charles Harris - DE, Missouri: The Bucs hit a home run with the selection of Noah Spence in the 2016 draft. Harris would give them another fastball coming off the edge, taking their defense to another level.
RANK
20
BRONCOS
Ryan Ramczyk - OT, Wisconsin The Broncos need to overhaul their offensive line. Ramczyk, the best tackle in the draft, would be a good start. Western Kentucky's Forrest Lamp would also be a good option with this selection.
RANK
21
LIONS
Taco Charlton - DE, Michigan: Charlton is a rangy athlete who fits the mold the Lions look for in their edge rushers. He makes plays on all three downs.
RANK
22
DOLPHINS
T.J. Watt - OLB, Wisconsin: Watt isn't as freaky as his older brother, J.J., but he is a very good football player. He is ultra-versatile, athletic and instinctive.
RANK
23
GIANTS
Gerald Everett - TE, South Alabama: Get to know this name. Everett has a lot of similarities to Jordan Reed and he would crush it in the Giants' offensive system, surrounded by Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard.
RANK
24
RAIDERS
Teez Tabor - CB, Florida: The Raiders are set on the offensive side of the ball but they could use some more playmakers in the secondary. Tabor gives up some plays but he also gets his hands on a lot of footballs.
RANK
25
TEXANS
Deshaun Watson - QB, Clemson: The Brock Osweiler experiment hasn't worked. Watson could be long gone by this point in the draft, but if he's there, I'd expect the Texans to scoop him up.
RANK
26
SEAHAWKS
Garett Bolles - OT, Utah: In 2016, the Seahawks used a top pick on an offensive lineman (OT Germain Ifedi), and I'd expect them to do the same thing in this year's draft. Bolles is a very athletic pass protector who shows some nastiness in the running game.
RANK
27
CHIEFS
Jarrad Davis - LB, Florida: Derrick Johnson is 34 and coming off a torn Achilles. Davis is a very instinctive linebacker who has enough size to take on guards in the run game. He also has the speed to match up with tight ends and running backs in the passing game.
RANK
28
COWBOYS
Takkarist McKinley - DE, UCLA: The Cowboys need pass rushers; they can no longer rely on Randy Gregory. McKinley has double-digit sack potential.
RANK
29
PACKERS
Alvin Kamara - RB, Tennessee: Kamara is a name that's generating a lot of buzz in the scouting community. He's also a player that would fill a need for the Packers. He is a major mismatch for linebackers in the passing game.
RANK
30
STEELERS
O.J. Howard - TE, Alabama: Howard is a seam-stretching tight end and he's also very reliable as a blocker in the run game. He would be a nice fit in Todd Haley's offense.
RANK
31
FALCONS
Gareon Conley - CB, Ohio St.: Conley is a gifted athlete with excellent football awareness. The Falcons have quietly built a very good roster, which should allow them to take the best available player in this spot.
RANK
32
PATRIOTS
Christian McCaffrey - RB, Stanford: Some players are perfectly suited to play in the Patriots' offense. McCaffrey's versatility, toughness and intelligence is exactly what Bill Belichick covets in the draft.

Watson's the best QB in the draft. Scouts stay saying some of the most :mjpls: stuff possible for black QB's. What has Trubisky even accomplished?

I don't see Watson available round 2, regardless where he's graded at, QBs are a premium

Someone needs to explain why Watson needs to be in some special situation but some 1 year wondercac at UNC could be drafted to play anywhere.

its still early in the process. i truly believe watson will be drafted in the top 3 - hopefully to the bears.

I don't see it happening, his value was all time high after the game, if anything Kizer and Trubisky will be the guys that rise after combime, workouts, etc IMO

I think he goes round 1, but not top 3

Problem is perception has a way of becoming truth.

This hype machine starts up and teams start believing that Trubisky is legit.

And look, he may very well be a good quarterback.

But wtf is the point of Watson putting up all those big numbers in a good conference and against great teams in bowl games if you're just gonna ignore him?

These brehs need to name ONE white quarterback who put up 400+ yards on a top 5 defense in the national title in back to back years and was told he's not good enough for the 1st round.

Could you fukkin imagine if Wilton Speight did that?
