11. player. 56. . QB. Cincinnati Bengals. Dwayne Haskins

The Bengals finally changed things up this offseason, firing long-time head coach Marvin Lewis and replacing him with Zac Taylor. Taylor, a former quarterbacks coach with the Los Angeles Rams, is going to want to have his own guy to groom for the foreseeable future. With Kyler Murray and Drew Lock off the board, Dwayne Haskins makes a ton of sense here.

Andy Dalton can play the 2019 season while Haskins learns the NFL game both in meeting rooms and on the practice field. Cincinnati is in for a rebuilding year regardless of this selection, and if the Bengals like Haskins, why not jump start the next decade?

12. player. 49. . EDGE. Green Bay Packers. Clelin Ferrell

Green Bay would love for Ed Oliver to be on the board here, but that’s not the way things fell. Instead, General Manager Brian Gutekunst can take his pick of available edge rushers. Clelin Ferrell has one heck of a case, with the two-time national champion racking up 27 sacks over the past three seasons with the Clemson Tigers.

Now that Green Bay has moved on from Clay Matthews, there’s a need for another pass-rusher. The Packers could do much worse than Ferrell, who should start immediately. Green Bay also has the No. 30 pick in the first round, so look for Gutekunst to explore moving up or down.
