On Thursday, 29 of the NFL’s 32 teams will get a glimpse at their next generation of stars. The 2018 NFL Draft kicks off at 8 p.m. ET when the Cleveland Browns make the first overall selection, flipping the offseason from “non-stop mock drafts” to “exaggerated reactions to training camp stories.”
The easiest way to appease fans before the season is to nail the draft. Similarly, the fastest way to annoy them is with a series of head-scratching selections in April. Each team in this year’s draft has a path toward the former as well as the latter. And we’re providing a map for each one.
Here’s how each team can set themselves up for success or failure with their first picks — whether those come in the first round or the third.
1 and 4. Cleveland Browns
Best case scenario: Land a franchise quarterback
Worst case scenario: Add another passer to the jersey of sadness
The Browns have a whole bunch of draft capital to work with, but the principal goal of this week is finding the quarterback who will finally live up to the investment after two decades of striking out.
Of course, with five picks in the first two rounds, there’s a lot of roster reshaping that can happen. But if Cleveland whiffs again at quarterback, there’s no way around it: this draft is a failure.
2. New York Giants
Best case scenario: Trade the No. 2 pick for an outrageous haul
Worst case scenario: Sit tight and take a running back
If the Giants don’t do anything out of left field, their options boil down to three likely routes:
- Draft Eli Manning’s eventual replacement
- Draft Penn State running back Saquon Barkley
- Trade the pick to a quarterback-hungry franchise
Taking Barkley, an all-time great prospect, may seem like an idea that would immediately help the Giants. But taking a running back early just isn’t smart.
If New York believes Eli has a few years left in the tank, or if the team is sold on 2017 third-round pick Davis Webb, that No. 2 pick would be worth a whole lot to another team. The Jets gave up three second-round picks to go from No. 6 to No. 3, so imagine how much the Giants could get from the Bills, Dolphins or Cardinals.
3. New York Jets
Best case scenario: Pick the second quarterback off the board and he’s their first choice
Worst case scenario: Pick the third quarterback off the board and he’s their third choice
The only reason the Jets moved up from No. 6 to No. 3 was to secure a quarterback. Any other move would be a level of ridiculous on par with Kevin Costner’s decision-making in Draft Day. The real question is just which passer it’s going to be.
New York can cross its fingers that the draft goes wild and we see the Browns take Bradley Chubb at No. 1 and the Giants take Saquon Barkley at No. 2. But the realistic hope for the Jets is that Barkley goes with one of the top two picks and Josh Allen is the first quarterback off the board — assuming that’s not the passer they want most.
A not-so-lucky scenario would be their top two choices — maybe Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield — going 1-2, leaving the Jets to pick between Allen and Josh Rosen.
5. Denver Broncos
Best case scenario: Pretty much anyone except Josh Allen
Worst case scenario: Josh Allen
That may be a little harsh on the Wyoming quarterback. But if drafting 6’7 Brock Osweiler and 6’7 Paxton Lynch for their physical tools and big arms didn’t work out for the Broncos, maybe John Elway should learn from those mistakes.
Allen has actually been a common pairing with Denver in mock drafts because Case Keenum affords the Broncos the luxury of going after a developmental talent. But Allen is another version of the tall, strong-armed prototype — and like the others — he also didn’t show enough in college to suggest he’s ready for the NFL.
Don’t make the same mistake for a third time, John.
6. Indianapolis Colts
Best case scenario:Bradley Chubb, Saquon Barkley or Quenton Nelson
Worst case scenario: Anyone else at No. 6
When the Colts traded back from No. 3 to No. 6, general manager Chris Ballard said he weighed offers from other teams. The Jets got the deal in part because it meant the Colts would “still be able to acquire a premium player” at No. 6 in the order.
There will probably be an opportunity for the Colts to trade down again, with the Bills, Dolphins and Cardinals among the possible suitors. But the idea at the time of the deal with the Jets was to stay in range of the blue-chip prospects and it’d make the most sense for Indianapolis to just grab one.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Best case scenario: Bradley Chubb or Quenton Nelson
Worst case scenario: Trade up for Saquon Barkley
There’s a strong chance both Chubb and Nelson will be off the board in the top six picks. If that scenario comes to fruition, it’s the “worst-kept secret” that safety Derwin James will be the player that goes to Tampa Bay, according to ESPN’s Todd McShay.
But the Buccaneers also have a hole at running back after cutting ties with Doug Martin in February. With Jacquizz Rodgers currently penciled in as starter, Tampa Bay may be tempted to do whatever necessary to secure the top running back of the class.
It’s already a sketchy choice to take a running back early in the draft, but giving up capital to move up would be even worse. Sitting tight for a player like Sony Michel, Ronald Jones or Nick Chubb in the second round would be prudent.
8. Chicago Bears
Best case scenario: Quenton Nelson slides to No. 8
Worst case scenario: Reach for a receiver too early
Missing out on Nelson, the consensus top offensive lineman in the draft, wouldn’t be a disaster. The Bears have plenty of needs to address and could use linebacker help, so picking Roquan Smith or Tremaine Edmunds would make a big difference.
But adding Nelson, a guard who’s good at absolutely everything, would be a great way to help out second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky after the Bears lost Josh Sitton earlier in the offseason.
The temptation to help Trubiskyin the same way the Eagles helped Carson Wentz and the Rams helped Jared Goff could lead the team to think receiver. But Chicago already added Allen Robinson, Trey Burton and Taylor Gabriel. That’s enough help to keep the Bears from taking a receiver in the top 10 when there isn’t one worthy of such a lofty selection.
9. San Francisco 49ers
Best case scenario: Landing one of the top pass rushers
Worst case scenario: Settling for another fringe interior DL in the first round
The 49ers have invested far too much on the interior of the defensive line in recent years. They’ve tried to add some edge players, including Solomon Thomas a year ago, but even Thomas at times looks like he’s better suited for the inside.
What the 49ers really need is a dominant pass usher. They’d love to get a crack at Bradley Chubb, but with that being extremely unlikely, they could grab someone like Marcus Davenport or Harold Landry — and it’d be a big win for the 49ers if they traded down to get one of them.
10. Oakland Raiders
Best case scenario: Not getting shafted by the 49ers and a run on quarterbacks
Worst case scenario: The 49ers getting the player the Raiders want after the dang coin flip
The Raiders and 49ers have overlapping needs at linebacker and in the defensive backfield. Both teams could also use a pass rusher. The Raiders and 49ers finished with the same record, the same strength of schedule, and are in different conferences, so who picks first in the first round was determined by a coin flip. The Raiders lost it, and they could easily miss out on guys like Tremaine Edmunds, Roquan Smith, Derwin James and other players the 49ers would potentially be interested in.
On the other hand, the Raiders desperately want at least four quarterbacks to go in the top five. That opens up a world of possibilities, and players like the ones mentioned above — Edmunds, Smith and James — could and should fall to 10.
11. Miami Dolphins
Best case scenario: An elite QB falls to No. 11
Worst case scenario: Mortgage the future for a passer
Ryan Tannehill hasn’t played a meaningful NFL game since December 2016, and while his balky knee is certainly a problem, the relationship between the quarterback and the Dolphins has yet to reach a critical mass. That means Miami has the opportunity to jump on a quarterback if the guy it likes falls to No. 11, but shouldn’t feel compelled to ship off extra draft picks to find him.
The Dolphins have plenty of holes to fix and need affordable young talent thanks to the continually confusing and overly expensive contracts the club doles out in free agency. A trade down from the 11th spot would also make sense while allowing the club more opportunities to add rookie talent. Miami’s got a lot of problems, and while shoring up its quarterback position is important, there are several different ways the team can improve this offseason.
12. and 22. Buffalo Bills
Best case scenario: Find a quarterback who can start day one
Worst case scenario: Fail to land one of the top five passers
It’s hard to envision a draft where the Bills sit at No. 12 and watch Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Josh Rosen all go off the board in the first 11 picks. Such a doomsday scenario would likely require two teams — perhaps the Dolphins and Cardinals — to jump ahead of the Bills and get a quarterback. With five picks in the top 65, Buffalo has the resources to trade into the top 10 and make sure that doesn’t happen.
A more realistic disappointment is picking a quarterback who needs time on the sideline. Ideally, the passer selected by the Bills will be able to beat out AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman in training camp and be an immediate starter for the team. Mayfield and Rosen may be the two most capable of stepping in right away.
13. Washington
Best case scenario: A top-five quarterback falls, allowing for a lucrative trade down
Worst case scenario: Quarterbacks and defensive talent fly off the board quick
Washington’s terrible defense could use playmakers at every level. And the team hasn’t made much effort to hide the fact that it’d be interested in scooping up more draft picks to address that problem multiple times.
“Depending on where the quarterbacks start to go in this draft, there will be an opportunity to move around in this draft to make sure we get maybe extra picks,” team president Bruce Allen told NBC Sports Washington.
There’s no easier way to pull off a blockbuster trade in the NFL Draft than to leverage a quarterback. If the top five are all off the board, Washington probably won’t have much luck moving down. That’d be a truly unfortunate scenario if it also coincided with several of the top defensive players going in the top 12.
Who knows how Washington ranks the defensive talent in the draft class, but if Bradley Chubb, Roquan Smith, Tremaine Edmunds, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and another defensive player or two are gone, it’d leave the team with few options.
14. Green Bay Packers
Best case scenario: The pieces for a defensive renaissance fall into place
Worst case scenario: With no elite pass rusher available, the Packers reach for an underwhelming talent
Green Bay’s defense struggled in 2017, and an aging Clay Matthews won’t be able to keep the franchise’s pass rush churning forever. The Packers could use a threat to pair with Muhammad Wilkerson and Kenny Clark up front, but No. 14 is likely too late to grab Bradley Chubb and possibly too early to snag Marcus Davenport or Harold Landry, who could be mid-20s picks.
But! The Packers also have the last pick before the QB-deficient Cardinals draft, and if one of this year’s top passers slides, general manager Brian Gutekunst could ransom off the 14th pick and slide down to a dense second tier of defensive help. Green Bay could use playmakers in all three phases of its defense; adding a player like Davenport, Landry, Josh Jackson, Rashaan Evans, or Sam Hubbard while bringing home some extra picks would be a win.
15. Arizona Cardinals
Best case scenario: They manage to get one of the top quarterbacks in the draft
Worst case scenario: Everybody gets picked in front of them
The Cardinals are paying Sam Bradford $20 million this season. He’s not going to be a long-term option at QB, and this is likely Larry Fitzgerald’s last season. The Cardinals have to start building for the future now, or they won’t have one at all. Assuming Darnold, Allen, and Mayfield are gone, Josh Rosen or Lamar Jackson could be good here.
16. Baltimore Ravens
Best case scenario: A stud WR emerges from a crop of B+ prospects, and he’s the guy Baltimore picks
Worst case scenario: They add another questionable wideout to an overhauled WR corps
The Ravens’ wide receiving depth was a mess last season, but they’ve already signed three free agents this offseason in an effort to rebuild the position. The problem is, none of the three — Michael Crabtree, John Brown, and Willie Snead — are sure-thing contributors at this stage in their careers. The same can be said of 2018’s crop of receiving talent.
There’s no clear-cut No. 1 receiver in this draft, and while D.J. Moore or Calvin Ridley would bring tons of potential to the team, there’s no guarantee they’ll be the balm Joe Flacco needs after walking through a wasteland in 2017. But the 16th pick may give the Ravens their choice of receiving targets, and Ridley or Moore could thrive in a deep group that allows them some extra time to acclimate to the pro game.
17. Los Angeles Chargers
Best case scenario: A run-stuffing defender patches up the league’s worst rushing defense
Worst case scenario: Los Angeles reaches for Philip Rivers’ replacement instead of giving him the tools for one final push
The Chargers faced underwhelming rushing attacks from the Raiders and Broncos for 25 percent of their games last fall, yet still allowed opposing tailbacks to average 4.9 yards per carry — the worst mark in the league. Some run-clogging help up front would not just help in 2018, but also give the team a built-in replacement for when a 34-year-old Brandon Mebane becomes a free agent next spring. A sliding DT like Vita Vea could be a boon for Los Angeles in the middle. Da’Ron Payne or Maurice Hurst wouldn’t hurt either.
18. Seattle Seahawks
Best case scenario: They land a leader for a new Legion of Boom or upper-echelon offensive lineman
Worst case scenario: The Seahawks reach for second-round offensive line talent in the first round
The Seahawks have obvious needs here. Their offensive line is one of the most notorious problems of any team in the NFL. They’re cleaning house on the defensive side of the football. They could go in several directions at No. 18.
But while keeping Russell Wilson upright is paramount to the team’s success, there are only a limited number of high-profile blockers at the top of this year’s draft. If guys like Quenton Nelson (almost certainly) and Mike McGlinchey (maybe) are gone, the highest-rated remaining linemen are a group of centers who wouldn’t offer a much value to the Seahawks, who have a still-developing Justin Britt working well in the middle. Maybe they could shift Britt back outside, where he played in college, but taking an first-round offensive lineman who plays the same position as your best blocker would be square pegs for Pete Carroll’s round holes.
19. Dallas Cowboys
Best case scenario: They draft the next Dez Bryant
Worst case scenario: They draft the next Kenny Britt at the expense of a top-flight linebacker
No. 19 seems like the right place to take the top wideout in a deep class of receivers with no real standout at the top. Players like Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore, and Courtland Sutton have all been mocked to the Cowboys over the past few weeks, and there’s some real volatility with this group. Other, later-round picks like Anthony Miller, who teamed with Riley Ferguson to tear up AAC competition at Memphis, is flying under the radar along with D.J. Chark and Equanimeous St. Brown.
That makes it tough to get tangled up on first round receivers, especially when linebacker is a position of need. If Roquan Smith, Rashaan Evans, or even Leighton Vander Esch is around at No. 19, it could make more sense for Dallas to focus on defense before giving Dak Prescott more weapons.
20. Detroit Lions
Best case scenario: A high-upside pass rusher like Harold Landry or Marcus Davenport
Worst case scenario: Reaching for a late-first running back
New head coach Matt Patricia built his career behind New England’s up-and-down defenses, and he’ll be looking to make a splash in his new role with the Lions. While he’s got Ziggy Ansah for at least one more season thanks to the franchise tag, it would behoove him to add another high-impact pass rusher — not just to bookend Ansah, but to add some insurance if he leaves in 2019.
There’s a tightly grouped cohort of tailbacks that will dot the end of the first round and into the second and third, so 20 may be a bit too proactive when the team has other positions of need to fill. Detroit needs an upgrade from the Ameer Abdullah-Theo Riddick-LeGarrette Blount platoon, but may be equally likely to find him in Round 3 as Round 1.
21. Cincinnati Bengals
Best case scenario: OT Mike McGlinchey falls to address the Bengals blocking issues
Worst case scenario: Reaching for a second- or third-round offensive tackle when several strong interior linemen remain
Andy Dalton got sacked on a greater percentage of his dropbacks in 2017 than he has since his second season in the league. The only year he was less efficient as a quarterback was back in 2011 when he was a rookie. After being sacked 41 times in 2014 and 2015, he’s been sacked 80 the past two years.
The offensive line needs fixing, and the Bengals are in a prime position to get some of the draft’s top blockers. McGlinchey could pair with newly acquired Cordy Glenn to give the line a couple of bookends at tackle. If not McGlinchey, there’s a trio of highly regarded centers — Billy Price, James Daniels, and Frank Ragnow — along with guard Isaiah Wynn who could all beef up the interior of the Cincinnati line.
The consensus is the Bengals will add offensive line help in the first round. As long as it’s not a reach, it’ll be a win. Or possibly a Wynn.
23. and 31. New England Patriots
Best case scenario: Add offensive tackle help and a defensive playmaker
Worst case scenario: Reaching for a third-tier quarterback
If the Pats keep both of their first-round picks, they’ll have the chance to address the personnel losses sustained in free agency. The No. 1 concern should be finding Tom Brady a new blindside protector after Nate Solder signed with the Giants. This year’s draft is top-heavy with left tackles, and if a player like McGlinchey falls to them, it would be hard to pass up on one of the draft’s meanest blockers.
After surrendering 41 points in the Super Bowl, New England could also use more depth up front — and at linebacker — to help stabilize a defense that struggled with injuries. There should be plenty of help available at the end of the first round: Harold Landry, Maurice Hurst, and Josh Sweat could all boost the team’s pass rush, and Rashaan Evans and Leighton Vander Esch could bring flexible help to the second level.
While the Patriots need a developmental passer to serve as Brady’s eventual replacement, but there’s a good chance the draft’s top five QBs will all be gone by the 23rd pick. The club could stretch for a player like Mason Rudolph or Kyle Lauletta, but odds are good one — or both — of those prospects will still be available in the second round, where the Pats have the 43rd and 63rd picks. Taking a third-tier QB when there are other needs to consider would be an uncharacteristic misstep for New England.
24. Carolina Panthers
Best case scenario: Find the next Josh Norman, or some kind of starting cornerback
Worst case scenario: They leave the first round without a playmaking cornerback or wide receiver
Carolina surged back into the playoffs last offseason, but there are still plenty of holes to be filled in the Panthers’ lineup. Priority number one in a division where they face Matt Ryan and Drew Brees four times a year should be to punch up the league’s 24th-ranked passing defense. Daryl Worley is gone, and fellow starter Mike Adams is 37 years old, furthering the team’s need for stronger air defense. Iowa’s Josh Jackson is a good candidate here, with Denzel Ward a pipe dream.
If a run on cornerbacks limits the Panthers’ choices, wide receiver could be another position that gets addressed. There should be a solid supply of wideouts available, though this year’s draft isn’t rife with outstanding prospects at the position. Carolina needs someone to pair with an emerging Devin Funchess, and someone like D.J. Moore, Calvin Ridley, or Courtland Sutton would be a strong consolation prize if the right defensive back isn’t available.
25. Tennessee Titans
Best case scenario: Give Marcus Mariota the weapons he needs to thrive
Worst case scenario: The Titans address their defense — but not at linebacker or pass rusher
Mariota’s development ground to a halt in his third season as a pro thanks in part to a weakened supporting cast in Nashville. Rookies Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor struggled to acclimate to the big leagues, leaving the Titans to rely on Rishard Matthews and Jets castaway Eric Decker as their two top receivers. While Delanie Walker was an important safety valve, that lack of options led Mariota to a disappointing 13-touchdown, 15-interception campaign and the lowest passer rating of his budding career.
There should be plenty of solid options to upgrade the Tennessee offense at No. 25, even if no one’s quite sure which receivers will or won’t be off the board by then. A pass-catching option out of the backfield who can pair with Derrick Henry and replace the released DeMarco Murray would also be helpful. Murray was responsible for 39 of the 50 receptions from the team’s tailbacks last fall.
The Los Angeles Rams turned Jared Goff into a dynamo by surrounding him with talented offensive weapons in 2017. That’s a blueprint the Titans can follow by giving their young quarterback a reliable playmaker at wideout this fall.
26. Atlanta Falcons
Best case scenario: Maurice Hurst, Taven Bryan, or Da’Ron Payne
Worst case scenario: Selecting anything other than a defensive tackle
The Falcons lost Adrian Clayborn and Dontari Poe this offseason, and were ready to add some depth to their defensive line whether or not they stayed. The tail end of the first round should offer a few options to beef that up, as several run-clogging nasties are projected to fall to the borderline between Day 1 and Day 2. Atlanta produced a below-average run defense in 2017, but adding someone like Hurst (5.5 sacks in 2017) or Bryan (four sacks) would also bolster a pass rush that landed in the middle of the league when it came to sack rates.
There aren’t too many other pressing needs for the team to address. A little offensive line help would be useful, and same at safety — but neither of those positions would provide the same kind of value at No. 26 as one of this year’s better defensive lineman prospects.
27. New Orleans Saints
Best case scenario: Bolster the defensive line with an edge rusher. That could be Sam Hubbard, or Josh Sweat
Worst case scenario: Reaching for Drew Brees’ potential replacement
The Saints are a defensive team now, which is kinda tough to get used to but just as fun to watch. Cameron Jordan had an All-Pro year with 13 sacks, but no one else on the roster had more than 4.5. The draft will give New Orleans the opportunity to give him an emerging talent to bring pressure from the other side of the line — albeit a talent with some question marks.
The Saints’ offense is good, and can get better with some young tight end talent. Dallas Goedert or Mike Gesicki could be a good pick, but neither one may be a first-round pick come Thursday. With a solid class of pass-catching blockers around them — Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews come to mind, with Troy Fumagalli as a sleeper — there may be wisdom in waiting.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Best case scenario: Lamar Jackson is still around, and the Steelers get him
Worst case scenario: No QBs or inside linebackers worth taking are available
The Steelers appear to be serious about maybe, actually taking a quarterback in the first round. That’d be an important investment in their post-Ben Roethlisberger future. But if the Steelers don’t have the chance to make what they view as a good value pick in Jackson or Mason Rudolph, they might look for inside linebacker help. Two of the best are Alabama’s Rashaan Evans and Boise State’s Leighton Vander Esch. Evans is the closest thing this draft has to a Ryan Shazier, and Vander Esch is good, but teams have reportedly worried about his medical history. Missing out on those two positions wouldn’t be great.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars
Best case scenario:Stout unit Will Hernandez crushing folks from the interior of the line (or other OL help)
Worst case scenario: Reaching on an insurance pick for Blake Bortles
At this stage of the draft, the available quarterbacks are likely years away from being able to contribute, if at all. That wouldn’t help the Jaguars, who need to cash in on last year’s AFC title game appearance while keeping an eye on the future should Bortles’ revert to classic form. If Jacksonville wants a young passer, there will be options later down the road.
Instead, the club’s first-round pick should be aimed at protecting him while clearing a path for Leonard Fournette. Hernandez is a 327-pound mauler who can elevate the play of the guys behind him. Some receiving help, especially after the departure of Allen Robinson.
30. Minnesota Vikings
Best case scenario: A high-caliber offensive lineman to keep offseason investment Kirk Cousins upright
Worst case scenario: Spending a Day 1 pick to upgrade a defense with limited need for improvement
The Vikings spent $84 million to bring Cousins to town for three seasons, so it makes sense they’d want to keep him as comfortable as possible. As previously mentioned, there should be a crop of solid interior linemen hanging around at the end of the first round. Minnesota has a hole to fill at right guard after Joe Berger’s retirement.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Best case scenario: Add the best player available, potentially along the defensive front or tight end
Worst case scenario: Trading Nick Foles away before some team loses their starting QB to a season-ending injury in August
There isn’t much to complain about in Philadelphia this offseason. The Eagles managed their way around a tricky salary cap situation to keep the bulk of an NFL championship team intact. Losses on the defensive side of the depth chart — most notably Nigel Bradham, Beau Allen, and Vinny Curry — present a need for some additional bulk in the trenches, but that’s more of a depth issue than a need for star power.
That’s good, because the Eagles have the last pick of the draft, which should provide plenty of opportunities to draft capable contributors on the defensive end.
No. 54 Kansas City Chiefs
Best case scenario: Somebody on the defensive front seven.
Worst case scenario: Trading up.
No. 68 Houston Texans
Best case scenario: Borderline first-round offensive line help slides to the early third round
Worst case scenario: A run on offensive talent forces the Texans to reach for a projected Day 3 player
Duane Brown is no longer a Texan, and the rest of Houston’s line teamed up to allow the league’s second-worst sack percentage (9.33%). That’s the kind of performance that will derail your star quarterback’s coming-out party, and if the club wants a full season of Deshaun Watson behind center, it will have to invest heavily in its offensive line.
Bringing in Zach Fulton and Senio Kelemete helps, but Seantrel Henderson is just a stopgap solution at tackle, where 2017’s primary starters Chris Clark and Breno Giacomini are no longer under contract. Julie’n Davenport still has a ways to go before he’s a consistent starter, and having zero picks in the first two rounds means finding a plug-and-play option through the draft is a long shot.
But it’s not hopeless. Guys like Mike McGlinchey and Kolton Miller will be long gone before pick 68, but other high-ceiling blockers like Pitt’s Brian O’Neill and Oklahoma’s Orlando Brown would make sense for the needy Texans if they’re still on the board in Round 3.
No. 87 Los Angeles Rams
Best case scenario: Another high-yield third- or fourth-round pick
Worst case scenario: Selling off more future picks to add second-round talent
The Rams opted out of the first round to add Brandin Cooks, and opted out of the second round for one season of Sammy Watkins — two win-now moves that effectively crushed 2018’s draft haul. That doesn’t mean they can’t still add productive pieces with just one pick before Day 3. In the past three years they’ve pulled three starters (Cooper Kupp, Tyler Higbee, Jamon Brown) and All-Pro returner Pharoh Cooper in the third and fourth rounds.
Another handful of supporting pieces would boost a team that broke through to last year’s NFC West crown. Los Angeles may not get a star from a draft in which it doesn’t have a selection before pick 87, but it’s proven the club can get the most out of that slot.
