We used ESPN's Football Power Index to project what the order will be at the end of the season, with the two traded first-round picks accounted for. You can read more about how FPI projects the order here.

1. Cleveland - Sam Darnold QB USC
2. N.Y. Giants - Josh Rosen QB UCLA
3. Indianapolis - Bradley Chubb DE North Carolina St.
4. San Francisco - Minkah Fitzpatrick S Alabama
5. Denver - Josh Allen QB Wyoming
6. Cleveland (Houston) - Saquon Barkley RB Penn St.
7. Tampa Bay - Clelin Ferrell DE Clemson
8. Chicago - Calvin Ridley WR Alabama
9. N.Y. Jets - Arden Key DE LSU
10. Cincinnati - Connor Williams T Texas
11. Arizona - Mike McGlinchey T Notre Dame
12. Oakland - Denzel Ward CB Ohio St.
13. Washington - Derwin James S Florida St.
14. Miami - Quenton Nelson G Notre Dame
15. Buffalo - Roquan Smith LB Georgia

16. Dallas - Christian Wilkins DT Clemson
The Cowboys have generated good pressure up front, thanks to DeMarcus Lawrence's 13.5 sacks, but he'll be a free agent. Last year's first-round pick, Taco Charlton, should help as well, but the Cowboys need to bolster the interior of that defensive line. Wilkins has experience both inside and outside on an outstanding Clemson D-line, but I believe his best fit is inside as a 3-technique. He has the foot speed and quick hands to slip blocks and is a stout run-defender.

17. Green Bay - Harold Landry OLB Boston College
18. Detroit - Tremaine Edmunds DE/OLB Virginia Tech
19. L.A. Chargers - Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma
20. Tennessee - Josh Jackson CB Iowa
21. Buffalo (Kansas City) - Vita Vea DT Washington
22. Baltimore - Christian Kirk WR Texas A&M
23. Atlanta - Ronnie Harrison S Alabama
24. Seattle - Derrius Guice RB LSU
25. Carolina - Orlando Brown T Oklahoma
26. L.A. Rams - Billy Price G/C Ohio St.
27. Jacksonville - Courtland Sutton WR SMU
28. New Orleans - Maurice Hurst DT Michigan
29. Minnesota - Martinas Rankins T Mississippi St.
30. New England - Ben Banogu DE/OLB TCU
31. Pittsburgh - Dallas Goedert TE South Dakota St.
32. Philadelphia - Rashaan Evans ILB Alabama

 

[KingintheNorth]

I like Wilkins but he's a 3Tech and Maliek Collins is a 3Tech.

I would rather take the edge guy Harold Landry or an actual 1Tech in Vita Vea.

 

[Western]

Tremaine Edmunds or Vita Vea would be useful/valuable selection, in my opinion.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Would love any of the 4 players that were taken just before our pick.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Tremaine Edmunds or Vita Vea would be useful/valuable selection, in my opinion.

I’d love him in round 1. Day 1 starter (Vea)

 

[Sydla]

Screw you Buffalo!

 

[tideh20heel]

Yeah if Roquan is within range i’m Moving up

 

[Risen Star]

Let's say this is how they come off the board. Who would want to take Baker Mayfield?

 

[RandyOh]

lmao yea this is very accurate. The players this board wants the most always goes a pick or 2 before us. I can see the draft day chat raging because of Buffalo.

 

[bodi]

Let's say this is how they come off the board. Who would want to take Baker Mayfield?

Arizona

 

[bodi]

it this how it falls give me

20. Tennessee - Josh Jackson CB Iowa
21. Buffalo (Kansas City) - Vita Vea DT Washington
23. Atlanta - Ronnie Harrison S Alabama
31. Pittsburgh - Dallas Goedert TE South Dakota St.
32. Philadelphia - Rashaan Evans ILB Alabama

 

[erod]

Let's say this is how they come off the board. Who would want to take Baker Mayfield?

Yep.

If Dak doesn't shine bright these next three weeks, I go Baker Mayfield.

Until you KNOW you have your QB of the future, you are going nowhere.

 

[Risen Star]

Yep.

If Dak doesn't shine bright these next three weeks, I go Baker Mayfield.

Until you KNOW you have your QB of the future, you are going nowhere.

Yeah but he scares me. He's a prima donna. He has problem written all over him once he gets paid. He has to overcome his size and his head.

 

[Risen Star]

Arizona

I meant which of us would take Mayfield there.

 

[Direwolf63]

Yep.

If Dak doesn't shine bright these next three weeks, I go Baker Mayfield.

Until you KNOW you have your QB of the future, you are going nowhere.

Mayfield has some Johnny Football in him mentally. He comes across as as arrogant and entitled, at least to me. He is also short like Manziel.

He is talented, but it is a bit a red flag to me.

 

[Direwolf63]

It would be frustrating to see James and Smith go just ahead of us. I agree that I may go with the 1 tech guy, Vea. Wouldn't mind Landry either.

 

[Avery]

I always hate mocks this far out. This strikes me as a pretty pedestrian draft overall, but I do think the LB depth is better than in past years.

 

[erod]

Yeah but he scares me. He's a prima donna. He has problem written all over him once he gets paid. He has to overcome his size and his head.

I know, but I see him, and I think "Drew Brees".

Both Austin kids, too.

[erod]

41 TDs with 5 interceptions

And he goes down the field. Great arm and very accurate.
