1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Quarterback. Florida State. Jameis Winston. 1. player. 48. After seeing Winston and 4 of the top decision makers in the Bucs organization together at Winstion’s Pro Day, this looks to be a surefire selection. Tampa Bay’s #1 need is quarterback, Winston is the #1 rated quarterback in this class, case closed.
2. New York Jets (From Tennessee)
30. The Jets needs a quarterback and with the addition of Brandon Marshall in the offseason, they feel that can afford to give up Evans who missed all of last year after being drafted in the 4th round. I don’t believe new GM Maccagnan is confident their QB of the future is on the current roster and likes what he has seen out of Maroita.. Quarterback. Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 2. player
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. player. 52. The Jags would love to move back here and pick up Cameron Erving. With that not an option, they decide to stay in state and grab Fowler after making a tough choice between he and Williams.. Linebacker. Florida. Dante Fowler Jr.
4. Oakland Raiders
Amari Cooper. 4. player. 28. The Raiders probably should have taken a defensive lineman here. They wouldn’t be the Raiders we all know and love if they didn’t decide to throw caution to the wind and instead grab a playmaker on offense. They decide to add Cooper to Carr’s arsenal in hopes the young QB’s 1st year progress stays on track.. Wide Receiver. Alabama
5. Washington Redskins
