Fourteen straight offensive players selected, six quarterbacks in the top twelve, some teams traded up to make a splash - this is the NFL Draft baby! For football lovers, nerds, and true fans; this is what it's all about. A solid first night with tons of talent heading to new teams, and lots of excellent players to still be drafted. I am here to bring you my instant one sentence and honest reactions to each of the teams first round selections.
No 1. Chicago Bears | Caleb Williams (QB - USC)
The most obvious selection, there was no need to take the full ten minutes to select him.
No 2. Washington Commanders|Jayden Daniels (QB - LSU)
My favorite QB prospect of the draft, I hope he doesn't haunt the NFC East for years to come.
No. 3 New England Patriots |Drake Maye (QB - UNC)
A new era in New England, hopefully this isn't a Mac Jones 2.0.
No 4. Arizona Cardinals |Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR - Ohio State)
Kyler gets an elite weapon, they are lucky he fell to four.
No 5. Los Angeles Chargers | Joe Alt (OT - Notre Dame)
No brainer pick and excellent protection for Herbert, but not getting a WR1 may haunt them, I also think they should have traded Herbert and double dipped with top ten first round picks.
No. 6 New York Giants | Malik Nabers (WR - LSU)
Beautiful pick for the Giants who finally get their WR1, but who is going to be throwing him the ball?
No 7. Tennessee Titans | JC Latham (OT - Alabama)
Massive boost and support for Will Levis, excellent addition.
No. 8 Atlanta Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. (QB - Washington)
Damn... I don't hate the pick but why sign Kirk Cousins to this massive contract?
No. 9 Chicago Bears |Rome Odunze (WR - Washington)
A+ Draft from Chicago thus far, Caleb Williams gets his WR1
No. 10 Minnesota Vikings | JJ McCarthy (QB - Michigan)
They played it smart and landed their guy, hopefully it works out for them.
No. 11 New York Jets |Olumuyiwa Fashanu (OT - Penn State)
Trading down and not getting Brock Bowers, damn, but they bolster the protection for Aaron Rodgers and provide insurance with Tyron Smith.
No. 12 Denver Broncos|Bo Nix (QB - Oregon)
Reach pick, but they need a quarterback desperately to keep Sean Payton's reputation afloat.
No. 13 Las Vegas Raiders | Brock Bowers (TE - Georgia)
Best available player at this point that I am surprised fell this far, will be a great addition for Aidan O'Connell and Antonio Pierce.
No. 14 New Orleans Saints | Talise Fuaga (OT - Oregon State)
The Saints love first round O-Lineman, and they fill their tackle need.
No. 15 Indianapolis Colts | Laiatu Latu (EDGE - UCLA)
Kwity Paye, DeForest Buckner, Raekwon Davis, and now Laiatu Latu - now that's a pass rush.
No. 16 Seattle Seahawks | Byron Murphy II (DT - Texas)
Ultra explosive with great skill, nice pick for Seattle to boost their defense.
No. 17 Minnesota Vikings | Dallas Turner (EDGE - Alabama)
Steal of the draft, surprised he fell to 17.
No. 18 Cincinatti Bengals | Amarius Mims (OT - Georgia)
A 6-foot-8 340 pound mammoth, that is exactly what Joe Burrow needed.
No. 19 Los Angeles Rams | Jared Verse (EDGE - Florida State
The Rams FINALLY make a first round selection, and they land their Aaron Donald replacement - tough shoes to fill, but excellent player to do so.
No. 20 Pittsburgh Steelers | Troy Fautanu (OT - Washington)
Excellent blocker who should help create more opportunities for Najee Harris.
No. 21 Miami Dolphins | Chop Robinson (EDGE - Penn State)
Will be a fun project for the Dolphins defense to develop.
No. 22 Philadelphia Eagles | Quinyon Mitchell (CB - Toledo)
The perfect fit for Vic Fangio's defense, has potential to be a CB1.
No. 23 Jacksonville Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. (WR - LSU)
Swapping Calvin Ridley for Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be great for Trevor Lawrence.
No. 24 Detroit Lions | Terrion Arnold (CB - Alabama)
The Lions defense adds another young and athletic playmaker, this was an excellent selection.
No. 25 Green Bay Packers | Jordan Morgan (OT - Arizona)
Smart move investing in Jordan Love's protection.
No. 26 Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Graham Barton (C - Duke)
Ryan Jensen's replacement, I love it.
No. 27 Arizona Cardinals | Darius Robinson (DE - Missouri)
Talented player, but surprise pick.
No. 28 Kansas City Chiefs | Xavier Worthy (WR - Texas)
The rich get richer, and Patrick Mahomes gets another speedy receiver, but I am surprised the Bills traded them this pick.
No. 29 Dallas Cowboys | Tyler Guyton (OT - Oklahoma)
Standard move from Dallas, they bolster the O-Line which is never a bad thing to do.
No. 30 Baltimore Ravens | Nate Wiggins (CB - Clemson)
Perfect pick for Baltimore's defense.
No. 31 San Francisco 49ers | Ricky Pearsall (WR - Florida)
Weird pick, great route runner, but does this mean they are trading Deebo or Aiyuk?
No. 32 Carolina Panthers | Xavier Legette (WR - South Carolina)
They traded up to get Bryce Young some help, I love the move, and still can't believe the Bills traded back again.
