The Detroit Lions have had horrible luck for 50 years. This year, that changes with Chase Young falling to them at the No. 3 overall pick.

QB. LSU. Joe Burrow. player. 56. Scouting Report. 1. Pick Analysis

The easiest pick of the whole deal.

2. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Alabama. Tua Tagovailoa. player. 59

The Dolphins trade up to get their guy.

3. player. 50. Pick Analysis. EDGE. Ohio State. Chase Young. Scouting Report

Detroit lucks into the draft’s best-overall player.

Alabama. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. OT. Jedrick Wills Jr.. 4. player. 31

Daniel Jones needs some blindside protection.

5. Ohio State. Jeffrey Okudah. CB. player. 58. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Washington gets an extra first and the draft’s best corner.

Pick Analysis. Justin Herbert. 13. 6. player. Scouting Report. QB. Oregon

The replacement for Tom Brady

player. Pick Analysis. Clemson. Isaiah Simmons. 7. 87. Scouting Report. LB

Carolina needs help on the second level, and Simmons fits the bell.

OL. Louisville. Mekhi Becton. 8. player. 32. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Time to invest in protecting Kyler Murray.

9. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Oklahoma. CeeDee Lamb. WR. player. 52

Gardner Minshew needs a top target. Lamb provides that.

Georgia. Andrew Thomas. 10. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. OT. player. 53

Thomas should be a stalwart left tackle, keeping Baker Mayfield clean.

Pick Analysis. OT. Iowa. player. Scouting Report. Tristan Wirfs. 11. 30

The Jets need help on the offensive line, and Wirfs is certainly that.

Pick Analysis. WR. Alabama. Henry Ruggs. Scouting Report. 12. player. 28

Outside of Tyrell Williams, the receiver roomie barren for the Raiders. Not anymore.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Auburn. 13. player. DT. Derrick Brown. 46

Brown provides a presence not seen recently in Indianapolis.

Javon Kinlaw. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. DL. South Carolina. 14. player. 48

The Bucs are turning their defense around. Kinlaw would be a huge boost.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 15. Jerry Jeudy. player. 45. WR. Alabama

Put Jeudy across from Courtland Sutton, and the Broncos’ offense is in business.

44. EDGE. A.J. Epenesa. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Iowa. 16. player

Vic Beasley’s replacement.

CB. C.J. Henderson. 123. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Florida. 17. player

Dallas has to find someone to replace Byron Jones, and Henderson is a good choice.

Scouting Report. Grant Delpit. player. 50. Pick Analysis. S. LSU. 18

Delpit is the best safety in the draft and makes the secondary much stronger in Detroit.

Pick Analysis. EDGE. 19. Scouting Report. LSU. K'Lavon Chaisson. player. 28

Las Vegas fixed the receivers with its first pick, and now gives the defense help.

CB. Alabama. 20. player. 52. Pick Analysis. Trevon Diggs. Scouting Report

With Jalen Ramsey gone, the Jaguars need a new shutdown corner.

Tee Higgins. 54. Clemson. Pick Analysis. WR. 21. player. Scouting Report

Higgins is an immediate upgrade for the Eagles on the outside.

Colorado. 22. player. 16. Scouting Report. WR. Laviska Shenault Jr.. Pick Analysis

Keep putting playmakers around Josh Allen and hope for the best.

QB. Utah St.. Jordan Love. 23. 47. Pick Analysis. player. Scouting Report

Tom Brady can’t play forever, right?

Patrick Queen. 24. 15. Scouting Report. LB. LSU. player. Pick Analysis

If A.J. Klein leaves, the Saints have to replace the talent lost on the second level.

player. Scouting Report. CB. LSU. 25. Pick Analysis. Kristian Fulton. 60

Xavier Rhodes is gone, so Fulton steps into his role.

Pick Analysis. OL. 26. player. 59. Scouting Report. Houston. Josh Jones

The Dolphins are simply taking best player available here.

36. Scouting Report. Alabama. Xavier McKinney. player. Pick Analysis. S. 27

McKinney and Quandre Diggs are a nice tandem on the back end for Seattle.

Penn State. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. EDGE. 28. player. 26. Yetur Gross-Matos

The Ravens need help off the edge, allowing Wink Martindale to blitz less.

Scouting Report. LB. Wisconsin. Zack Baun. 29. player. 35. Pick Analysis

Baun fits Tennessee and would be a nice addition to an already good defense.

49. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Brandon Aiyuk. 30. WR. Arizona State. player

Time for another weapon alongside Davante Adams.

Bryce Hall. 31. player. 42. Scouting Report. CB. Pick Analysis. Virginia

The 49ers need cornerback help, and Hall provides that.

player. Jeff Gladney. TCU. 32. 124. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB

The Super Bowl champs can use depth a corner, and Gladney is the best corner on the board.
