17. New York Giants: Devin Bush, LB, Michigan
    
    
    The Giants get a much needed piece for their defense and makes a smart move by passing on this QB class so they're free to draft one early sometime in the next two years. Bush has line to line speed, a knack for making plays, and NFL bloodlines. He'll be the QB of the Giants defense while they figure out the offense later. He is my 21st overall player.
    
    
    
18. Minnesota Vikings: Cody Ford, G, Oklahoma
    
    
    Minnesota for as talented as they are still has a fatal flaw. Their offensive line just isn't good. We saw it last year when a way less talented team in the Bills dominated them because the O line couldn't win at all in the trenches. They should add multiple lineman in this class, cause you can't win a Super Bowl with a line that bad. Ford can come in and start at RT or either guard spot. He is my 22nd overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
19. Tennessee Titans: Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson
    
    
    The Titans add the leader of the best defense in college football last year. Wilkins is another interior pass rusher who will get pushed up boards thanks to the Aaron Donald effect. The Titans will surely consider offensive weapons here too but Wilkins is too good to pass on. He is my 18th overall player.
    
    
    
20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
    
    
    Murphy to the Steelers is a perfect match. Murphy is a player maker at corner who has some Troy Polamalu to his game. He's a guy who in the biggest moments has locked down receivers and has produced multiple turnovers for his team. Haden isn’t getting any younger and there's nothing but question marks playing across from him. Murphy is what the Steelers defense has missed for years. He is my 7th overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
21. Seattle Seahawks: Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
    
    
    I love doing mocks for the Seahawks cause they could literally do anything and it wouldn't be too surprising. Fant can be special with Russell Wilson. He can dominate from the slot and give Wilson another reliable target in the red zone. With Baldwin, Lockett, and Fant. That could be the best receiving trio Wilson has ever had to work with. He is my 20th overall player.
    
    
    
22. Baltimore Ravens: Clellin Ferrell, EDGE, Clemson
    
    
    The Ravens need to restock their defense. The Ravens always seems like a team that gets ravaged in free agency and this year is no different. Clellin Ferrell can be a sack artist in the NFL with his mix of power and speed. W ith the Ravens' rolling with Lamar Jackson and a clock control offense, while the rest of the NFL goes more spread they will need all the good defensive players they can get. He is my 6th overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
23. Houston Texans: Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
    
    
    I’m not as high on Rock Ya-Sin as others. I think he's one of the more overrated players in the class if not the most. Some NFL teams love him and he's received serious first round buzz all throughout the draft process. Houston desperately needs to improve their secondary to get where they wanna go. That offense(minus the line) and front seven are two of the best in the NFL. They just need to shore up some holes to make a real run.
    
    
    
24. Oakland Raiders: Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama
    
    
    Jacobs is another guy like Rock Ya Sin that everyone loves but I don't see it. I don't think there is a first round RB talent in this draft class and concerns over Jacobs size and speed might make that happen. I think Mike Mayock will see an Alvin Kamara type playmaker like many are in Jacobs. But I just think he's an average back. Still the Raiders need to get better and younger at RB and Jacobs would help in both departments. He is my 55th overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
25. Philadelphia Eagles: Jeffrey Simmons, DL, Mississippi State
    
    
    Jeffery Simmons is one of the 15 best players in this class. The only thing keeping him from being drafted there is his torn ACL. When he recovers Simmons is as plug and play of a guy as there is. He comes in and helps keep the Eagles' D line as a strength of theirs for a long time. He is my 10th overall player.
    
    
    
26. Indianapolis Colts: N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State
    
    
    The Colts have done a fantastic job cleaning up Ryan Grigson's mess. The defense is back to respectable and the offensive line is actually a strength. The Colts' need to get Luck some top end weapons now. Harry is a WR with elite athleticism who’s polished enough in route running and making catches and make a difference for a team day one. He is my 9th overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
27. Oakland Raiders: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
    
    
    The Raiders get a weapon across from AB. Brown is a perfect fit for the Raiders, as he can play inside and outside and thrive. Brown is a guy I think can be a number 1 receiver in the NFL and at worst will be a good number 3. He is my 23rd overall player
    
    
    
28. Los Angeles Chargers: Jerry Tillery, DL, Notre Dame
    
    
    The Chargers need to get a dominate DT on their line with Bosa and Ingram. They would be unstoppable at times if they did. Tillery is a guy who at times looks like a top 10 talent and at others looks lazy and doesn't play at all up to his potential. Being on a team with Phillip Rivers should fix that problem. He is my 12th overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
29. Seattle Seahawks: DeAndre Baker, CB, Georgia
    
    
    The Seahawks get a cornerback with Kansas City's pick. Baker is a guy ready to start in the NFL day one. He's very safe from an on field standpoint but rumors of poor interviews at the combine will drop him on boards. I think the Seahawks take a chance here and it will greatly pay off for them and their defense. He is my 14th overall player.
    
    
    
30. Green Bay Packers: Marquis Brown, WR, Oklahoma
    
    
    This is a pick I really hope happens and could help reestablish the Packers as one of the best offenses in the NFL. Rodgers has never had a weapon like Marquis Brown who is a home run threat every play. He'll not only help the pass but stretch defenses to the point the run game could thrive easily. Marquis Brown to the Packers is a perfect pick in my opinion. He is my 15th overall player.
    
    
    
    
    
31. Los Angeles Rams: Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama
    
    
    The Rams are super thin at LB. Mack Wilson can come in and be a quality starter for them at whatever spot they put him. This pick seems like a no brainer to me in terms of need and value. He is my 11th overall player.
    
    
    
32. New England Patriots: Irv Smith Jr., TE, Alabama
    
    
    The Patriots lucked out with this draft class. The year Gronk retires it's as strong a tight end class as ever. Irv Smith Jr. is a love hate prospect. Some people think he’s average at best and not a great athlete. While others see him as a solid tight end with a high ceiling. I think he's someone in between and can be a day one starter in the NFL. Patriots could turn him into a special player. He is my 36th overall player.
