3. Indianapolis Colts- Bradley Chubb DE N.C. State 

The Colts have many issues to address to build around their star quarterback Andrew Luck and go could in many directions with this pic, but they decide add a stud to their defensive lineman in Chubb to help out their defense.

4. Cleveland Browns- Saquon Barkley RB Penn State

The Browns continue to strengthen their offense, adding Barkley to help take some load off rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Barkley may be the most talented player overall in this draft, and paring him with Darnold would instantly make the Browns offense greatly improved.

5. Denver Broncos- Quenton Nelson OG Notre Dame 

Denver clearly has a big need at quarterback, but I see them addressing this through free agency, so the Broncos strengthen their offensive line, adding my best player in this draft Quenton Nelson.

6. New York Jets- Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma

The Jets pull the first shocker of the draft, selecting Baker Mayfield with the 6th pick. Mayfield may be the most polarizing player in the draft, and the Jets take a chance on the undersized quarterback to be their franchise guy.

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Minkah Fitzpatrick S Alabama

The Buccaneers could go a variety of ways at pick 7, but they will be thrilled if Minkah Fitzpatrick is still available, an instant huge upgrade to their secondary.
