Breaking down every pick from the first round of last night’s NFL draft taking place in Las Vegas.
1. Jacksonville
Travon Walker, DE, Georgia
The Jaguars are getting an elite athlete that can develop into a real stud on the defensive line.
2. Detroit
Aidan Hutchinson, DE, Michigan
Raced their card up to the podium as soon as the Jaguars passed on the Michigan stud.
3. Houston
Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU
Our first big surprise of the night comes early, but the Texans obviously have no concerns about his injury history.
4. New York Jets
Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati
Arguably the best corner in college football, Sauce immediately improves Robert Saleh’s defence.
5. New York Giants
Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon
Talent-wise, there’s no doubting him. The Giants may have stolen the draft’s best edge rusher.
6. Carolina
Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina St.
The Panthers smartly pass on a quarterback to grab the draft’s top offensive lineman.
7. New York Giants
Evan Neal, OT, Alabama
Once tabbed as the top pick this year, this versatile behemoth should be a rock on the Giants’ line.
8. Atlanta
Drake London, WR, USC
In dire need of a receiver the Falcons get an awesome athlete that excels in grabbing 50/50 balls.
9. Seattle
Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
With the pick they got from Denver for Russell Wilson, the Seahawks start their rebuild on the O-line.
10. New York Jets
Garrett Wilson, WR, Ohio State
Reportedly offered this pick as part of a package for Niners star Deebo Samuel, but take a WR instead.
11. New Orleans
Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
Saints move up five spots to take a WR to either compliment Michael Thomas or be his heir.
12. Detroit
Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama
Coming off a torn ACL, the Lions snag a player who could have been a top five pick in this draft.
13. Philadelphia
Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia
An absolute menace in the middle of the line, the Eagles jumped over the Ravens to take him.
14. Baltimore
Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame
The Ravens love to take the best player available and Hamilton sure fits the bill despite average testing.
15. Houston
Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M
Perhaps our biggest reach so far, Green was rated by some as a second-round talent.
16. Washington
After sliding back a few spots the Commanders grab a solid running mate for Terry McLaurin.
17. L.A. Chargers
Zion Johnson, OL, Boston College
The Chargers grab a lineman to potentially fill their RT spot or slide in at a variety of other positions.
18. Tennessee
Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
The Titans shockingly trade away stud WR A.J. Brown to the Eagles and grab his immediate replacement.
19. New Orleans
Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa
He will need some coaching to start at LT in the NFL, but is a solid prospect that plays tough.
20. Pittsburgh
Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh
Steelers must have been certain he’ll be able to carry the franchise in his incredibly small hands.
21. Kansas City
Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
After a big run on offensive players, the Chiefs move up to take our third-ranked corner.
22. Green Bay
Quay Walker, LB, Georgia
A player that rose late in the pre-draft process, it’s still a surprise he was the first LB taken.
23. Buffalo
Kaiir Elam, CB, Florida
Stepped up two spots to take a corner that should be able to play a decent role on this contender.
24. Dallas
Tyler Smith, OT, Tulsa
The Cowboys needed to address some departures on their offensive line and did just that.
25. Baltimore
Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
Another example of grabbing the best player, Linderbaum is unquestionably the draft’s top centre.
26. New York Jets
Jermaine Johnson II, DE, Florida State
Trade with Tennessee to take their third first-rounder – a guy we thought they could take fourth overall.
27. Jacksonville
Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
Fast, instinctive linebacker should step into a starting role right away with Myles Jack gone.
28. Green Bay
Devonte Wyatt, DT, Georgia
The Packers double up on defence in the first, no doubt to Aaron Rodgers’ chagrin – again.
29. New England
Cole Strange, OG, Chattanooga
Who? The Patriots (of course) throw a huge curveball, taking a guard on very few people have heard of.
30. Kansas City
George Karlaftis, DE, Purdue
Fell down draft boards after some mediocre testing, should still make an impact at the NFL level.
31. Cincinnati
Daxton Hill, S, Michigan
Their secondary needed the most help in the draft and this versatile piece will fit right in.
32. Minnesota
Lewis Cine, S, Georgia
With the final pick of the first round, the Vikes grab a safety with the selection they got from Detroit.
