Detroit Lions. Bryce Young. 3. player. 50. . QB

The Detroit Lions currently hold the No. 3 overall pick, but a lot of that has to do with how bad their defense has been. in fact, Jared Goff has not played terribly as their starting quarterback, and some believe he could stick around in the Motor City for a long time.

However, with a chance to get Bryce Young, even if it is to stash him and let Goff play a few more seasons, the Lions cannot afford to pass up on him. Young is going to be a franchise quarterback at the next level, and the Lions still need a long-term solution at the position.

Edge. Houston Texans. Will Anderson. 4. player. 10.

The Houston Texans are one of the worst teams in the NFL once again this season, which is why they are picking at No. 4 overall. The Texans could go several different ways with this pick, but considering they also have the No. 6 pick, they should go with the best player available here.

That player would be Will Anderson, someone who many consider the best overall player in this draft class. Anderson may be the No. 1 overall pick when all is said and done, and to fall into the Texans’ lap at No. 4 would be a big win for a rebuilding franchise.
