Donovan McNabb compared Mitchell Trubisky to Akili Smith on "Mike & Mike" due to his lack of starts :jbhmm:
Glad someone said it because if it was Watson you best believe they would be harping on his starts and if he's proven. I will give Golic credit he's been saying Watson is better than Mitch.

1. Cleveland Browns


Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina | Watch highlights

How's this for a curveball to begin the night? The thinking is the Browns get antsy about Trubisky being available at No. 12 and don't find any takers to trade up. Could Cleveland ownership get involved and insist on a QB here? Remember, the Browns passed on Carson Wentz last year and really need a franchise-changer at the position. Myles Garrett is my No. 1-ranked prospect.

i

2. San Francisco 49ers
Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M | Watch highlights

The 49ers might run to the podium if Garrett is available here, assuming they can't find any takers who want to trade up to take Garrett. He is a brilliant, natural pass-rusher with elite size and athleticism.

i

3. Chicago Bears
Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford | Watch highlights

Jamal Adams will be in play here, but I'm going with the versatile Thomas. He'd play end in Chicago's 4-3. After snagging Leonard Floyd in last year's first round, the Bears are building a solid front seven.

i

4. Jacksonville Jaguars
Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU | Watch highlights

When new Jaguars executive vice president for football operations Tom Coughlin was Jacksonville's coach, he had Fred Taylor as his workhorse back. I think Coughlin will go get another guy who can pile up carries -- and hopefully touchdowns, for the sake of Jaguars fans -- to help Blake Bortles.

i

5. Tennessee Titans (from Rams)
Jamal Adams, S, LSU | Watch highlights

This is a potential trading spot for teams trying to jump in front of the Jets and take Mitchell Trubisky. General manager Jon Robinson already has shown that he isn't afraid to deal -- he moved out of the No. 1 pick, then moved up to No. 8 last year. Adams is simply the best prospect left on the board and a steal at No. 5 overall. Top cornerback Marshon Lattimore is another possibility if the Titans keep the pick.

i

6. New York Jets
O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama | Watch highlights

With Mitchell Trubisky off the board, the Jets go with the draft's best tight end and one of the safest prospects in the class. Howard is an all-around player who is a great blocker and receiver. This is another potential landing spot for Marshon Lattimore.

i

7. Los Angeles Chargers
Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson | Watch highlights

This could be the shocker on Thursday night. The 35-year-old Philip Rivers has taken a lot of hits over the years, and the Chargers could want a fresh start after moving to L.A. Another name to watch is Malik Hooker, the best center fielder-type safety in this class.

i

8. Carolina Panthers
Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford | Watch highlights

This is a perfect fit. McCaffrey is more than a running back -- he'll also help in the receiving and return games. That's just another weapon for Cam Newton & Co.

i

9. Cincinnati Bengals
Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama | Watch highlights

Allen at No. 9 is all about best player available -- he's my No. 2-ranked prospect. He can play anywhere on the line. The Bengals could be tempted to take a linebacker (Haason Reddikk, maybe?) or pass-rusher (Derek Barnett fits) here.


i

10. Buffalo Bills

Haason Reddikk, LB, Temple | Watch highlights

This came down to Reuben Foster or Reddikk, and the Bills can't go wrong. Buffalo needs speed at linebacker, even with all of the wide receivers still on the board. With last year's second-round pick Reggie Ragland slotted in at middle linebacker, I'm going with Reddikk, who's more versatile than Foster and could move outside.

11. New Orleans Saints

Derek Barnett, DE/OLB, Tennessee | Watch highlights

With Reddikk off the board, New Orleans could move on to the pass-rushers and choose from the next tier. Barnett is a Terrell Suggs-type who was extremely productive in college (33.0 career sacks).

i

12. Cleveland Browns (from Eagles)
Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State | Watch highlights

Lattimore could drop if there are lingering concerns about his hamstrings, which hampered him his first two years as a Buckeye. He's my top corner, though, even with only one season of tape, and he has all the traits of an All-Pro. The Browns also could try to trade up.

i

13. Arizona Cardinals
Mike Williams, WR, Clemson | Watch highlights

This is great value at No. 13, getting the draft's top receiver. Williams could be a younger version of Larry Fitzgerald, who turns 34 this year. Arizona will hope Williams becomes what it thought former first-round pick Michael Floyd was going to be.

i

14. Philadelphia Eagles (from Vikings)
Charles Harris, OLB, Missouri | Watch highlights

If Mike Williams and Christian McCaffrey are off the board, the Eagles could opt to go with a pass-rusher. Harris, who had 16.0 sacks over the past two seasons, is the best in the next tier.

i

15. Indianapolis Colts
Takkarist McKinley, OLB/DE, UCLA | Watch highlights

New general manager Chris Ballard came from the Chiefs, who put a premium on collecting pass-rushers and generating pressure. Robert Mathis has retired, and Indianapolis doesn't have any outside linebackers with double-digit sack potential. The speed rusher McKinley could be that guy in the Colts' 3-4.

i

16. Baltimore Ravens
Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan | Watch highlights

Baltimore is in a good spot to choose from the top offensive linemen, but Davis would be tough to pass up. He's stellar after the catch and would help stretch the field for Joe Flacco. Former first-round pick Breshad Perriman has only 33 catches since being picked in 2015. Davis could play inside or outside.

i

17. Washington Redskins
Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State | Watch highlights

The Redskins are moving Su'a Cravens, last year's second-round pick, to safety, but he's an in-the-box guy. They still need a center fielder, and Hooker is a ball hawk. He had seven interceptions -- three for touchdowns -- in his lone season as a starter.

i

18. Tennessee Titans
John Ross, WR, Washington | Watch highlights

With Corey Davis gone, Ross is the next-best pass-catcher available. His 4.22 40 speed is his greatest asset, but he's a well-rounded receiver. He also could be an elite kick returner.

i

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama | Watch highlights

Tampa Bay could upgrade at right tackle over Demar Dotson. The Bucs have to protect Jameis Winston. Tight end David Njoku is also in play here.

i

20. Denver Broncos
Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin | Watch highlights

The Broncos have to get a left tackle in this draft. I don't trust Donald Stephenson or Ty Sambrailo to get the job done. Ramczyk was great in his one year as starter at Wisconsin. Another connection: Geep Chryst, the brother of Badgers coach Paul Chryst, is Denver's new tight ends coach.

i

21. Detroit Lions
Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida | Watch highlights

The Lions have needs at linebacker, cornerback and end on defense, and Davis would be a great fit. He is a steady, reliable and versatile defender with a nose for the football. And I love his intangibles.
