The Perfect Pick
Presented by: Kfox
Chicago Bears
Team Needs: DL, Secondary, C
Pick: 5th overall
Perfect Pick: CB Tyreke Watson, Utah State
When you look at this secondary, one of the biggest weaknesses is the lack of speed. 5th overall might be a little high for a CB, but the Bears have to seriously look into upgrading this area. Watson does not have elite size but makes up for it with his athletic ability.
Cincinnati Bengals
Team Needs: LB, CB, OL
Pick:10th overall
Perfect Pick: LB Dashuan Mobley, Texas
The word on the street is that Coach Moji cannot wait to get to this offseason and gut this defense. I fully expect a complete makeover and a ton of new faces on the defensive side of the ball. Dashaun Mobley offers elite size at 6’1 and 261 lbs. but don’t let that weight fool you, he plays fast for that size.
Buffalo Bills
Team Needs: T, EDGE, SS
Pick:13th overall
Perfect Pick: DL Keenan Gooden, Notre Dame
I honestly believe that this team will pick the best available defensive player on the board no matter the position after their defense gave up an average of 33+ points per game. Play Keenan Gooden inside or outside, it doesn’t matter. He has shown the athleticism to be a major force on all three downs.
Cleveland Browns
Team Needs: QB, G, WR
Pick:1st overall
Perfect Pick: QB Roman Crowder, Alabama
After trading the house this post season to move up to the 1st overall pick, Cleveland now has the chance to fill their biggest need and get Coach Longville his franchise QB. Right now Roman Crowder is the clear-cut top QB in the draft after his dominating performance vs LSU where he threw for 6 TD and 414 YDS.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Team Needs: QB, DL, LT
Pick: 26th overall
Perfect Pick: DL Andrew Brackett, Florida
Unfortunately for the Bucs the top three quarterbacks could be long gone by the 27th overall pick so I look for them to upgrade that position in free agency. Boosting a defensive line that’s likely to lose starters to free agency and retirement is paramount to the Buccaneers reloading this offseason. Plug Brackett into the 3-technique with Vita Vea on the nose and this could quickly become a dangerous line.
Arizona Cardinals
Team Needs: OL, IDL, HB
Pick: 27th overall
Perfect Pick: G Robert Swayne, Utah
Man, this offensive line is along one of the worst in the entire league which aloud Kyler Murray to be sacked 47 times. Robert Swayne is one the top IOL prospects in the draft. He is an athletic, versatile lineman who played has played all four positions up-front, which gives the Cardinals flexibility in how to deploy the five best lineman on the roster.
Los Angeles Chargers
Team Needs: G, T, LB
Pick: 25th overall
Perfect Pick: G Glenn Dodson, Auburn
The Chargers offensive line is expected to lose the starting guards via free agency this offseason. OL has not been a weak spot on this team but the front office would like to keep it that way and find these replacement guards fast. Glenn Dodson has the flexibility to play guard and potentially tackle in the league which is always a plus. He could be slotted in right away in week 1 and flourish.
Kansas City Chiefs
Team Needs: EDGE, CB, TE
Pick: 14th & 22nd overall
Perfect Picks: TE Deionte Leary, Louisville & CB Rudy Clement, Wyoming
With a pair of 1st round picks the Chiefs will look to fill some holes with immediate impact players. QB Pat Mahomes has stated multiple times that he wants the team to address the TE position ever since Travis Kelce left. Leary is a versatile, athletic tight end who I look for Coach Scott to fall in love with when the combine rolls around.
What Rudy Clement lacks in speed he makes up for in size at 6’3 194 lbs. Luckily coach loves his zone coverage which is a perfect fit for Rudy because that’s where he excels at.
Indianapolis Colts
Team Needs: DL, C, G
Pick: 9th overall
Perfect Pick: EDGE Cliff Barwin, Colorado
This defense lacks an elite presence on the EDGE. Kwity Paye & Frank Clark have their moments, but they are not long term answers. Cliff Barwin has exceled as a 4-3 defensive end in Colorado, at 6’6 and 277 lbs. he has the strength, motor, and length to be an impactful player right out of the gate.
Dallas Cowboys
Team Needs: OL, DL, LB
Pick: 74th overall
Perfect Pick: G Bradley Foster, USF
The days of the elite Dallas Cowboys offensive line are long gone. Zack Martin with his HOF career has been stuck with a below-average group for some time. Bradley Foster does not “wow” on tape, but he does have the physical tools and IQ to play guard at the next level with the right coaching.
