1. Tennessee Titans

Laremy Tunsil . 1. player. 35. <a href=. OT. Ole Miss

2. Cleveland Browns

53. The Browns face a tough decision here as each of the top quarterback prospects in this draft come with their own set of risks. They could play it safe by keeping Joey Bosa in state to bolster their defense, but the NFL is a quarterback-driven league. Teams not set at quarterback, like the Browns, should be desperate to find stability and finding one near the top of the draft is the best way to do that.. QB. North Dakota State. Carson Wentz . 2. player

3. San Diego Chargers

3. player. 13. <a href=. FS. Florida State. Jalen Ramsey

4. Dallas Cowboys

player. 123. Perhaps a dream-scenario for the Cowboys as they get the draft’s premier pass rusher. Bosa could easily be a top three pick but if he’s available for the Cowboys with the fourth pick, they should take little time to get the card to the podium.. DE. Ohio State. Joey Bosa . 4

5. Jacksonville Jaguars

OLB. UCLA. Myles Jack . 5. player. 52. The Jaguars have made nice progress on the offensive side of the ball but that pace hasn’t been matched on the other side of the ball. That’s bad news for head coach Gus Bradley considering he comes from a defensive background. Losing Dante Fowler to injury last year before his rookie season even began was a tough blow and adding Myles Jack gives the Jaguars another young dynamic talent.
