QB Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
2. San Francisco 49ers
S Derwin James, Florida State
After trading for QB Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers may be able to grab the best non-quarterback at the top of the draft, and from a pure value standpoint, James is the guy. His versatility is tailor-made for the NFL, as he can make an impact at all levels of the defense, from deep safety to playing at the line of scrimmage, and he gives the 49ers a playmaker in the secondary after leading the nation with a 91.2 grade as a true freshman in 2015 and currently ranking sixth at 87.4 overall.

Andrew Luck as the Colts look to rebuild both sides of the ball with impact players.
4. New York Giants
QB Sam Darnold, USC5. New York Jets
QB Lamar Jackson, Louisville6. Arizona Cardinals
QB Josh Rosen, UCLA
With QB Carson Palmer7. Baltimore Ravens
WR James Washington, Oklahoma State
The quarterback run slows down for a bit as the Ravens look to add some juice to their offense with Washington who leads the nation with 464 yards on deep (20-plus yard) passes this season. He has the speed to get behind the defense and improved ball skills have allowed him to make plays in contested situations, a good fit for getting QB career back on track.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
DI Maurice Hurst, MichiganGerald McCoy9. Chicago Bears
OT Connor Williams, Texas10. Cincinnati Bengals
OT Orlando Brown, Oklahoma
11. Miami Dolphins
G Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame12. Green Bay Packers
Edge Arden Key, LSU
The outside pass-rush has been inconsistent in Green Bay in recent years but Key adds an explosive threat to the mix. His production is down a tick this season as LSU has moved him around the defense, but when unleashed off the edge, Key brings an explosive threat with his 177 career pressures (21 sacks, 31 hits, 78 hurries).
13. Los Angeles Chargers
QB Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
While QB Philip Rivers14. Buffalo Bills
WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama15. Detroit Lions
RB Derrius Guice, LSU
Detroit needs a running game that can take pressure off QB Matthew Stafford and Guice brings that and more as a dynamic, three-down option. He has big-play ability both as a runner and as a receiver and his 111.7 elusive rating (52 missed tackles forced on 192 touches) in 2016 showed his capabilities.
