Best Picks of Rd. 1!

Hi, the first round of this years draft was as exciting as ever with many stunning moves that made people go crazy. I'm here to talk about the best picks of the most important night of the off-season (I'm not including DE Myles Garrett because the no. 1 overall is a no brainer good pick most of the time):

Texans select QB Deshaun Watson 12th overall:
This is going to be a major win for the Texans. Somehow they got in my opinion the best QB in the draft later than 2 other of the QBs and he will be great. He can easily beat out Tom Savage in training camp and become the teams starter for week 1. He looks great and I think the Texans are a good fit for his talents. He will have young receivers to throw to with DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. If this team get some more o-lineman and maybe another tight end in the rest of the draft the Texans could be a real contender with Watson at the helm of the team. GRADE: A-

Panthers select RB Christian McCaffrey 8th overall:
I was so excited when I heard the commish announce the Stanford product was drafted to the Panthers. This is a great fit. He could probably start at RB but maybe not yet because Jonathan Stewart may have some gas left in the tank but there is also a good chance of him starting. He can catch passes very very well like a receiver and he is the best juker I've ever seen. McCaffrey will be one of the best RBs in football with this team. GRADE: A

Jaguars select RB Leonard Fournette 4th overall:
I was excited for this one. Fournette will be a top tier elite RB from day 1 in this league. His rare combination of size and speed gives him an advantage over defenders and I could see him having an insane season maybe even rookie of the year. Fournette will help take pressure off struggling QB Blake Bortles and I think he could challenge Zeke, Le'Veon Bell, and David Johnson for the title of best RB in the league. He will also be a big fantasy player. GRADE: A

Buccaneers select TE O.J. Howard 19th overall:
I feel bad for OJ. He deserved a top 10 selection but somehow fell down. Still he lands in a very powerful young offense that is pass first and I think he will thrive. Jameis Winston has developed into a great passer and I think Howard is the future of this team in pass catching. A big 3 in Tampa will be assembled for years to come: Jameis Winston, WR Mike Evans, and OJ Howard. The Bucs got SOOO lucky that this amazing talent was open at 19. GRADE: A

Saints select CB Marshon Lattimore 11th overall:
This was quite the pick. Lattimore was slated to become a top 5 pick but with a bunch of trades and great players falling, Lattimore was still open at 11 and the Saints did what they had to do and addressed their biggest need. Lattimore is one of the best playmakers in the draft and already is a CB1. He is one of the most exciting CBs coming out of college I have seen. This is a home run pick. GRADE: B+

Redskins select DE Jonathan Allen 17th overall:
This was a STEAL! The top 10 projected player fell to 17 due to bigger talents still there. Allen must have been also as surprised as I was but at 17 he couldn't fall any farther. The Redskins stole a player that has potential to be the defensive rookie of the year. He and Myles Garrett are the best DE's in the draft (also Soloman Thomas), those 2 made it in the top 3 but somehow Allen fell to 17. Whatever Jonathan, shake it off and tear up all the teams that didn't pick you. Starting with the Bengals who shocked the world and took speedster John Ross over Allen. GRADE: B-

Steelers select LB T.J. Watt 30th overall:
This was a great pick. Everyone was on there feet because it was such a fun one. J.J. Watt's younger brother T.J. to the Steelers where he will thrive in a great LB core. Everyone is excited and the Steelers have gotten a STEEL. Even more fun: Christmas Day 2017, Texans Vs. Steelers. Watt v Watt 1.0. This will be a fun rivalry especially because TJ has potential to be as elite as JJ. GRADE: B

Browns select S/LB Jabrill Peppers 25th overall:
This was a heck of a steal for the Browns who had THREE first round picks! I felt like they should have drafted a QB here like DeShone Kizer but when I heard who the pick was I wasn't actually sad for them because Peppers is a great S. This will end up being one of the best steals in the draft with Peppers because he will start and I bet he will become elite in this fast growing young Browns D. GRADE: B+

Bengals select WR John Ross 9th overall:
I was so surprised when I heard my man get drafted this early. I was for sure that the Bengals were gonna take Jonathan Allen and so when I heard John at the start I thought the commish would keep going and say Jon-athan but he said Ross instead. Anyway, this is a great pick here because he and A.J. Green along with Tyler Eifert will be a great pass catching trio for Andy Dalton who has been struggling a bit lately. Ross is the speediest player coming out of college we have seen (he is the 40 yard dash king) and I can't wait to see him expose people in this league. GRADE: A-

49ers select LB Rueben Foster 31st overall:
This was the biggest steal of the night. Just because Rueben Foster failed some drug test everyone got very nervous and he fell from a top 10 pick to 31! Thats crazy! But the 49ers traded back into the first round and got a huge steal because Foster could have been taken by pick 11 (Saints). Foster will be an elite player in the league and all the teams will be sad to realize that they didn't take him while he will be thriving with San Fran. GRADE: A+

Thanks for reading and I will also have a worst picks of the first round post coming up. I may start doing more than 1 post a day due to all the excitement.
