Thursday evening on ESPN, NFL Draft experts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay got together on national television and they made their final predictions before the actual NFL Draft gets kicked off next Thursday.

Both Kiper and McShay played the role of GM for the teams, and they made their picks at timed intervals just like the real deal.

To get things kicked off, McShay put his Rick Smith hat on as GM of the Houston Texans and he did not make any trade, he went right for the jugular with the selection of Jadeveon Clowney.

Next up as the Rams GM, Kiper wasted no time in pointing out that they need wide receiver help and that Sammy Watkins is just too good to pass up to fill that void.

Here’s a look at how their entire first round shaped out.

What’s notable is that there is no Teddy Bridgewater going in round one in the group of quarterbacks that were selected, as well as Johnny Manziel becoming the new face of the Browns franchise.
