I did part one on a phone, and my not too slender fingers hacked and stumbled slowly through the thing to the tune of 3 clumsy picks. To Recap:
(1) Cardinals : Nick Bosa
(2) 49rs: Ed Oliver
(3) New York Jets: Noah Fant
And now the rest:
(4) Raiders: Quinnin Williams, Defensive Tackle
Gruden is an old school guy who believes that pressure starts right up the middle. Williams is a solid 3 technique guy who will shore up the defensive interior for the next decade.
(5) Tampa Bay: Montez Sweat, Edge
You cannot go wrong with Sweat. While some teams are a bit worried about heart issues, there is no questioning his athleticism. He set modern records for speed and agility at the position and will have the NYG feeling very upset they missed out on their next LT.
(6) New York Giants: Kyler Murray
The Giants have a plan at QB and it would have manifested later in the draft had this kid not been available. I think they really wanted to go with the kid from Duke, but Gettleman knows the power of a ‘move’ QB and will not be willing to skip a chance to let him develop his pocket and IQ game behind Manning.
(7) Jaguars: Jawaan Taylor, OT
Dwayne Haskins would be a good pick here, if you could let a #1 sit behind the starter for 3 years. You cannot and the 4 year $88 million dollar contract they gave Foles suggests that they are set at the QB spot for now. Offensive lineman are always useful. Still, Foles coulda used a better TE.
(8) Lions: Rashaan Gary, Edge
Best available Edge comes off the board here.
(9) Bills: Jonah Williams, OT
Gotta protect your QB. I think they are going to try to get an OT here unless a team is willing to trade up for the still rich QB market. No trades in this one, because I clearly cannot think that far ahead.
(10) Broncos: Dwayne Haskins, QB
Best available QB comes off the board here. He is a project guy, but a guy everyone is high on and can get the job done with training.
(11) Bengals: Devin White, LB
Best available LB comes off the board here
(12) Green Bay: Marquise Brown, WR
Keep your QB fed and happy. While they could go TE here, the stretch WR is a better look to match the run game. They need defensive help, but the dearth of scoring from 2018 predicates an offensive spending spree.
(13) Dolphins: Drew Lock, QB
Best available comes off the board here, though I think Gardner Minshew is going to be a legit talent and a value in later rounds.
(14) Falcons: D.K. Metcalf, WR
Another big strong receiver to bolster a very physical Falcons passing attack
(15) Redskins: Taylor Rapp, S
Adding riches to the pot, they pair Rapp with former Giants pro-bowler Landon Collins and kill all passing games against them.
More tomorrow…
