Round 1

1.01 Justin Jefferson – MIN (WR1) 

1.02 Christian McCaffrey – SF (RB 1)

1.03 Austin Ekeler – LAC (RB 2)

1.04 Cooper Kupp – LAR (WR 2)

1.06 Travis Kelce – KC (TE 1)

1.08 Tyreek Hill – MIA (WR 4)

1.09 Jonathan Taylor – IND (RB 4)

1.10 Bijan Robinson – ATL (RB 5)

1.11 Josh Jacobs – LV (RB 6)

1.12 Davante Adams – LV (WR 5)

Analysis: Bijan Robinson landed in an ideal spot with the Falcons, inheriting a run-first offense with a head coach in Arthur Smith who is experienced at using star running backs in his system. Many early mocks have Robinson over former RB1 Jonathan Taylor, but I am not quite prepared to rank him that highly. 

Round 2

2.01 Stefon Diggs – BUF (WR 6) 

2.02 Derrick Henry – TEN (RB 7)

2.03 CeeDee Lamb – DAL (WR 7)

2.04 AJ Brown – PHI (WR 8)

2.05 Tony Pollard – DAL (RB 8)

2.06 Amon-Ra St. Brown – DET (WR 9)

2.07 Rhamondre Stevenson – NE (RB 9)

2.08 Nick Chubb – CLE (RB 10)

2.09 Travis Etienne – JAX (RB 11)

2.10 Jaylen Waddle – MIA (WR 10)

2.11 Najee Harris – PIT (RB 12)

2.12 Garrett Wilson – NYJ (WR 11)

Analysis: Najee Harris gets a bump into the second round. He will be the workhorse behind an improved offensive line with the Steelers selecting Broderick Jones, arguably the best run-blocking tackle in the draft. In addition, Rhamondre Stevenson was a huge winner, as the Patriots did not upgrade at the running back position. The same goes for Tony Pollard, who is finally free of the shadow of Ezekiel Elliot. 

Round 3

3.01 Dameon Pierce – HOU (RB 13)

3.02 Tee Higgins – CIN (WR 12)

3.03 Chris Olave – NO (WR 13)

3.04 DeAndre Hopkins – AZ (WR 14)

3.05 Kenneth Walker III – SEA (RB 14)

3.06 DK Metcalf – SEA (WR 15)

3.07 Devonta Smith – PHI (WR 16)

3.08 Mark Andrews – BAL (TE 2)

3.09: Patrick Mahomes – KC (QB1)

3.10 Jalen Hurts – PHI (QB2)

3.11 Josh Allen – BUF (QB3)

3.12 Isaiah Pacheco – KC (RB 15)

Analysis: Kenneth Walker III took an unfortunate hit on draft night when the Seahawks selected Zach Charbonnet in the third round. It seems they can never get enough of the running back position. From Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, Kenneth Walker, and now Zach Charbonnet, Carroll loves to draft running backs early. Walker could still prove to be more than valuable, but Charbonnet has the all-around talent to turn this backfield into a committee.  

Round 4

4.01 James Conner – AZ (RB 16)

4.02 Deebo Samuel – SF (WR 17)

4.03 Jahmyr Gibbs – DET (RB 17) 

4.04 TJ Hockenson – MIN (TE 3)

4.05 Joe Burrow – CIN (QB 4)

4.06 Joe Mixon – CIN (RB18)

4.07 Javonte Williams – DEN (RB 19)

4.08 Justin Fields – CHI (QB 5)

4.09 Breece Hall – NYJ (RB 20)

4.10 D’Andre Swift – PHI (RB 21)

4.11 Dallas Goedert – PHI (TE 4)

4.12 Miles Sanders – CAR (RB 22)

Analysis: A surprise first-round pick to the Lions, Jahmyr Gibbs undoubtedly made the biggest fantasy football splash on draft night. Gibbs might not have size like Bijan Robinson, but he certainly packs a punch. Clearly, the Lions loved him enough to send D’Andre Swift to the defending NFC champions, offering Gibbs a presumed lead role in their offense. Given the first-round price tag, I would expect Gibbs to earn a similar role to Breece Hall with the Jets. Not to mention Montgomery has a notable injury history.
