1. Los Angeles Rams
Jared Goff
Quarterback, California, 6-4, 215
Advanced knowledge of passing game with a more than adequate arm. Poised and confident. Slightly built.
2. Philadelphia Eagles
Carson Wentz
Quarterback, North Dakota State, 6-5, 237
Has all the skills. Threw in a clean pocket most of the time, so he doesn’t seem to have the pocket presence Goff does.
3. San Diego Chargers
Joey Bosa
Defensive end, Ohio State, 6-5, 269
Has outstanding hands, allowing him to disengage from blockers. Can he hold up vs. 300-pounders? Not explosive.
4. Dallas Cowboys
Ezekiel Elliott
Running back, Ohio State, 6-0, 225
Instinctive runner with an uncanny ability to hit the hole instantly then break it loose with his speed. Complete back.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Jalen Ramsey
Cornerback, Florida State, 6-1, 209
Physical — hits like a safety, closes on balls like a corner. Shut-down type because of his physicality and athletic ability.
6. Baltimore Ravens
Ronnie Stanley
Offensive tackle, Notre Dame, 6-6, 312
Very athletic tackle who can run, move, block in space. Also has the ability to drop quickly to protect the edge.
7. San Francisco 49ers
DeForest Buckner
Defensive end, Oregon, 6-7, 291
Perfect 3-4 end with ability to stuff the run and rush the passer. Has strength, power. Basically abused single-team blocks.
8. Tennessee Titans
Jack Conklin
Offensive tackle, Michigan State, 6-6, 308
Solid and outstanding against the run and the pass. Strong, can pull and seal. Can take care of edge rushers of all sizes.
9. Chicago Bears
Leonard Floyd
Outside linebacker, Georgia, 6-6, 244
Tall and angular and extremely quick off the edge. Perfect fit in the Bears’ 3-4 scheme. Can he hold up vs. NFL tackles?
10. New York Giants
Eli Apple
Cornerback, Ohio State, 6-1, 199
Solid, steady player with size that NFL teams covet. Dependable in coverage and a sure tackler.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Vernon Hargreaves
Cornerback, Florida, 5-10, 204
Has everything but ideal height. He’s quick, can change directions, break on the ball, highly competitive.
12. New Orleans Saints
Sheldon Rankins
Defensive tackle, Louisville, 6-1, 299
Short, quick, explosive in short areas, uses his hands well to create penetration. Has strength to collapse pocket.
13. Miami Dolphins
Laremy Tunsil
Offensive tackle, Mississippi, 6-5, 310
Very nimble feet, with good strength and movement. Mirrors the edge rushers well without overcommitting his body.
14. Oakland Raiders
Karl Joseph
Safety, West Virginia, 5-10, 205
Packs a wallop. Probably the hardest hitter around. Could be an impact player. Still recovering from injured knee.
15. Cleveland Browns
Corey Coleman
Wide receiver, Baylor, 5-11, 194
Playmaker who can turn a short pass into a game-altering play or a long pass into a touchdown.
16. Detroit Lions
Taylor Decker
Offensive tackle, Ohio State, 6-7, 310
Not as athletic as the other top tackles but a bruiser type. Might have trouble with elite pass rushers.
17. Atlanta Falcons
Keanu Neal
Strong safety, Florida, 6-0, 211
Will come up and knock opponents back with authority. Attacks the ball and the ball-carrier.
18. Indianapolis Colts
Ryan Kelly
Center, Alabama, 6-4, 311
A good technician, good blocker on second level. Doesn’t always get the desired push.
19. Buffalo Bills
Shaq Lawson
Defensive end, Clemson, 6-3, 269
Not explosive, just relentless. Makes a lot of plays in the backfield. Could play DE or OLB in a 3-4.
20. New York Jets
Darron Lee
Outside linebacker, Ohio State, 6-1, 232
Fast, athletic and plays well in space. Very active, will rally to the ball with his closing speed. Explosive off the edge.
21. Houston Texans
Will Fuller
Wide receiver, Notre Dame, 6-0, 186
Best deep threat in the draft with breathtaking speed. Will stress the defense because of his ability.
22. Washington Redskins
Josh Doctson
Wide receiver, TCU, 6-2, 202
Incredible hands and body control and highly competitive for the ball. Elusive after the catch with a smooth stride.
23. Minnesota Vikings
Laquon Treadwell
Wide receiver, Mississippi, 6-2, 221
His size and strong hands make up for his lack of speed. Similar to Anquan Boldin or Jarvis Landry.
24. Cincinnati Bengals
William Jackson III
Cornerback, Houston, 6-0, 189
Terrific coverage skills to go with good ball skills. Led nation in pass breakups. A ball hawk.
25. Pittsburgh Steelers
Artie Burns
Cornerback, Miami (Fla.), 6-0, 193
Closes on balls extremely well and has ability to either come away with the ball or come up with the big hit. Plays physical.
26. Denver Broncos
Paxton Lynch
Quarterback, Memphis, 6-7, 244
Has a Kaepernick-type arm and displays a nice touch when he needs to. Has skills but still a work in progress.
27. Green Bay Packers
Kenny Clark
Defensive tackle, UCLA, 6-3, 314
Can hold the point, disengage and make the tackle. Also has the ability to penetrate and create a surge in the middle.
28. San Francisco 49ers
Joshua Garnett
Offensive guard, Stanford, 6-4, 312
Can pull, block in space, deliver a blow, has some nasty. Seems to have all the qualities and can do it all.
29. Arizona Cardinals
Robert Nkemdiche
Defensive tackle, Mississippi, 6-3, 294
Strong, quick, athletic, gets good penetration. Terrific when motivated but play was inconsistent.
30. Carolina Panthers
Vernon Butler
Defensive tackle, Louisiana Tech, 6-4, 323
Quick, active, athletic for his size, can penetrate, collapse pocket. Plays with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
31. Seattle Seahawks
Germain Ifedi
Offensive guard, Texas A&M, 6-6, 324
Played right tackle but will need to convert. Can get pushed back because he plays high. Doesn’t get much push.
