Need more proof of the power of the Draft? All week, the biggest stories were Kobe’s last game, and Golden State’s quest for 73 wins…until Thursday, when the LA Rams (need to get used to that again) mortgaged the future to move from 15 to 1 in a blockbuster trade with the Titans. Suddenly, nothing else matters.
Make no mistake: this trade affects everything. It ensures that qbs go 1 and 2 in this draft (although Roid Rage and I differ on the order – check out his latest mock). Biggest winner from this trade: Paxton Lynch. With qbs going 1 and 2, Lynch now becomes highly valuable, as the drop off in qb talent after him is significant. Will he crack the Top 10? Biggest loser: Laremy Tunsil. Plugged in as the number 1 overall for weeks and weeks, Laremy will most certainly fall from the top perch. The question is how far?
And with that, let’s get right to the action.
| Round 1 | Team | Pick | Position |
| 1 | LA Rams | Jared Goff (Cal) | QB |
| 2 | Cleveland Browns | Carson Wentz (North Dakota St.) | QB |
| 3 | San Diego Chargers | Laremy Tunsil (Ole Miss) | OL |
| 4 | Dallas Cowboys | Jalen Ramsey (FSU) | CB |
| 5 | Jacksonville Jaguars | DeForest Buckner (Oregon) | DE |
