11. player. 45. . Cornerback. Denver Broncos. Kristian Fulton

The Denver Broncos may actually have found their quarterback, as the team made the move to rookie Drew Lock for their matchup against division rival Los Angeles this past weekend. Lock threw two touchdowns to Courtland Sutton, as a defensive pass interference call late helped the Broncos to a win in his debut.

While the jury is still out on Lock, it was a good sign that he actually showed the ability to move the offense, as we all know John Elway has been looking for his next franchise guy. If Lock is the guy moving forward, the Broncos can turn their attention elsewhere in the first round, selecting some help in the secondary.

Kristian Fulton and Jeffrey Okudah are the two best cornerbacks in this draft class, and if Okudah is off the board,  the Broncos could strike gold with Fulton at No. 11 overall. He has the ability to take away one side of the field, and based on what we have seen with him at LSU, he is not only a great cover corner, but has good hands, and does not get fooled often.

. Wide Receiver. Philadelphia Eagles. CeeDee Lamb. 12. player. 54

The Philadelphia Eagles had a winnable game this past weekend, as they went down to South Beach to take on the Miami Dolphins. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they ended up losing to the lowly Dolphins, and in turn, seriously hurt their chances of catching the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

Recently, there has been some rumblings that maybe Carson Wentz is not the quarterback to get this team back to a Super Bowl, but I still believe in his talent. In order for the team to get the most out of him, they should look to use their first round pick on a wide receiver, giving him a deep weapon to replace the aging DeSean Jackson moving forward.

Originally, I liked the Eagles to take a cornerback in this draft class, but that group has been playing better, so grabbing a player like CeeDee Lamb from Oklahoma makes a lot of sense here. Lamb is one of the more dynamic playmakers in this draft class, and in Philadelphia, he would immediately be a fan favorite with how hard he plays the game.
