5. Los Angeles Rams- Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama

Los Angles still doesn’t have a No. 1 receiver on their roster which doesn’t bode well for Jared Goff. The Rams need to add someone like Calvin Ridley if they hope for Goff to every reach his full potential.

6. Buffalo Bills- Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA

The Bills looked heavily at the 2017 quarterback class, but decided to stick with Tyrod Taylor. However that doesn’t mean they won’t pull the trigger in 2018. Josh Rosen is a super talented quarterback with plenty of upside.

7. Washington Redskins- Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State

So much of Washington’s future is tied up in how they handle the Kirk Cousins situations. Betting they keep him in the mix it would be wise to add a playmaker like Saquon Barkley a running back. Barkley is an explosive athlete who is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.

8. Baltimore Ravens- Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M

The Ravens offense lacks firepower especially at the wide receiver position. Texas A&M’s Christian Kirk is an explosive athlete who can produce big plays. Due to his contract, Baltimore is stuck with Joe Flacco which means they must surround him with plenty of talent.
