32nd overall, Ravens: Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville // Grade: A

Best Picks:
Sam Darnold to Jets at 3 overall-The Jets lucked out that the best, least bust like QB was still there for them at 3. AMAZING PICK!
Quenton Nelson to Colts at 6-The Colts traded down only to get an amazing o-lineman. I would have taken Nelson over a ton of people in this draft.
Lamar Jackson to Ravens at 32-The Ravens traded up for Jackson and he will be their QB of the future. Learning behind Flacco for a year or 2 before deploying Jackson will be amazing for the young QB.

Best Players Left:
Derrius Guice, RB, LSU // Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU // Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State // Dante Pettis, WR, Washington // Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M // DJ Chark, WR, LSU // Equaniemous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame // Shaquem Griffin, LB, UCF // Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP // Connor Williams, OG, Texas // Josh Jackson, CB, Iowa // Donte Jackson, CB, LSU // Arden Key, DE, LSU // Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College // Ronald Jones, RB, USC // Orlando Brown, OT, Oklahoma // Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama

Thanks for reading and I will have more draft things coming up soon!
