If people would post the picks, that'd be great.
1. Houston Texans
Jadeveon Clowney
Jadeveon Clowney - DE - South Carolina
Height: 6'5 | Weight: 266 | Status: Junior
No surprise with the first overall pick as the Texans decided they couldn't pass on the opportunity to pair Clowney with former Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt in the defensive front seven.
2. St. Louis Rams (via Washington Redskins)
Greg Robinson
Greg Robinson - OT - Auburn
Height: 6'5 | Weight: 332 | Status: Redshirt Sophomore
With the Rams protection problems on the offensive line, Robinson was an easy pick once it was determined the team wouldn't trade down.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Blake Bortles
Blake Bortles - QB - UCF
Height: 6'5 | Weight: 232 | Status: Redshirt Junior
First surprise of the draft and it was a big one. Bortles going this high, and before Johnny Manziel, will be a talking point for years.
4. Buffalo Bills (via Browns)
Sammy Watkins
Sammy Watkins - WR - Clemson
Height: 6'1 | Weight: 211 | Status: Junior
The Bills paid a lot to move up from No. 9 to No. 4 but grabbed the premier receiver in the draft. Watkins should be a great help for young QB E.J. Manuel.
5. Oakland Raiders
Khalil Mack
Khalil Mack - OLB - Buffalo
Height: 6'3 | Weight: 251 | Status: Redshirt Senior
Ideal scenario for the Raiders with Mack falling to them at No. 5. The Raiders needed help on the defensive line and got one of the best pass rushers in the draft.
6. Atlanta Falcons
Jake Matthews
Jake Matthews - OT - Texas A&M
Height: 6'6 | Weight: 308 | Status: Senior
With Clowney and Mack off the board, the Falcons land a strong consolation prize and strengthen their offensive line rather than their defensive line.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mike Evans
Mike Evans - WR - Texas A&M
Height: 6'5 | Weight: 231 | Status: Redshirt Sophomore
Another Texas A&M product drafted not named Johnny Manziel. Evans skyrocketed up the draft boards all off-season long and landed where many predicted he would.
8. Cleveland Browns (via Vikings)
Justin Gilbert
Justin Gilbert - CB - Oklahoma
Height: 6'0 | Weight: 202 | Status: Senior
The second surprise of the draft had the Browns trading down to No. 9, then feeling they had to jump one spot to take Gilbert, who many had ranked in the teens.
9. Minnesota Vikings (via Browns, Bills)
Anthony Barr
Anthony Barr - OLB - UCLA
Height: 6'5 | Weight: 255 | Status: Redshirt SophomoreSenior
Barr's predicted fall on team's draft boards wasn't nearly as severe as thought as the UCLA edge rusher remained in the Top 10.
10. Detroit Lions
Eric Ebron
Eric Ebron - TE - North Carolina
Height: 6'4 | Weight: 250 | Status: Junior
A lot of people thought the Lions would select a defensive player but they instead opted to make their offence even more explosive, adding Ebron alongside Calvin Johnson as weapons for QB Matthew Stafford.
11. Tennessee Titans
Taylor Lewan
Taylor Lewan - OT - Michigan
Height: 6'7 | Weight: 309 | Status: Redshirt Senior
The Titans get terrific value at No. 11 with Lewan, who many teams considered just as good as Robinson and Matthews, falling to them. Jake Locker, or a rookie QB the Titans take later in the draft, will benefit greatly from this pick.
12. New York Giants
Odell Beckham
Odell Beckham - WR - LSU
Height: 5'11 | Weight: 198 | Status: Junior
The early run on wide receivers continued with Beckham, who made a late run up draft boards. Many thought the Giants would draft help for Eli Manning on the offensive line but instead they got him help in the receiving corps.
13. St. Louis Rams
Aaron Donald
Aaron Donald
Height: 6'1 | Weight: 285 | Status: Senior
The Rams went with a defensive lineman with their second pick which was a bit of a surprise, but with the top three receivers off the board, St. Louis made a good value pick in Donald.
14. Chicago Bears
Kyle Fuller
Kyle Fuller - CB - Virginia Tech
Height: 6'0 | Weight: 190 | Status: Senior
As expected, the Bears addressed their secondary and grabbed Fuller, who made a late run up the draft boards to jump Darqueze Dennard as the second best rated CB in the draft.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Ryan Shazier
Ryan Shazier - LB - Ohio State
Height: 6'1 | Weight: 237 | Status: Junior
One of Shazier's strengths is his versatility, with draftniks debating whether he projects best as a linebacker or safety at the next level.
16. Dallas Cowboys
Zack Martin
Zack Martin - OL - Notre Dame
Height: 6'4 | Weight: 308 | Status: Redshirt Senior
With everyone wanting Jerry Jones to make the exciting pick and grab Johnny Manziel, the Cowboys instead played it safe and grabbed Martin, the versatile offensive lineman from Notre Dame.
17. Baltimore Ravens
C.J. Mosley
C.J. Mosley - LB - Alabama
Height: 6'2 | Weight: 234 | Status: Senior
Mosley is another versatile linebacker who draftniks considered a "typical" Ravens draft pick. He'll be tasked with joining the great tradition of solid LBs in Baltimore.
18. New York Jets
Calvin Pryor
Calvin Pryor - S - Louisville
Height: 5'11 | Weight: 207 | Status: Junior
Many thought the Jets would go receiver (especially with good talent still available at the position) or cornerback but they opted for different help in the secondary with Pryor, a hard-hitting safety known as the Louisville Slugger.
