What player or players is your team targeting or most likely to draft in round 1, and who do you want your team to draft in round 1?

Not sure which players Steelers are targeting but they do need LB & DB'S but as has been in some mock drafts it would not surprise me if they take 1 of the top running backs.Some have the Steelers taking Sony Michel if they make this pick it could spell the end of Le'Veon Bell.

This is shaping up to be 1 of the more interesting drafts. We've had 2 trades already a full month before the draft. Will there be more trading & if so how many are willing to move up or down in the order to get their player.
They've had plenty of busts & have passed on quite a few QB's in the last couple drafts. Will Cleveland's new GM finally get the QB Cleveland has been needing for a long time? Cleveland's draft could be good to great depending on who they pick.
What will the Giants do at the #2 position? Will they trade down if they find a deal they can't refuse? Their new GM wants a pick who will be a future HOF player if so S.Barkley should be the pick at 2 (but I could see them taking B.Chubb here also). I think the only way they would pass on one of those two would be if they draft a QB.
What will some of the other teams who are QB needy do? Do they trade away a lot of picks to move up & grab a QB or will cooler heads prevail and stay where they are and hope/see if a QB falls to them?

I really want Barkley. Chubb would be my second choice. If not one of those 2 Id like to see them trade the pick.

Some have the Steelers taking Sony Michel if they make this pick it could spell the end of Le'Veon Bell. Will be interesting to see how that plays out that. I agree though, if they pick up a talented RB early in the draft, and the kid looks good at all in his rookie season, I think they're gonna tell Bell and his hefty contract demands to kick rocks next season. PIT already seems pretty transparent, imo, about not wanting to extend Bell a new contract, to what they likely know he'll be asking for. If they draft a RB in the first/second/ or third round, and the kid looks anything like Alvin Kamara(3rd rd pick) or Kareem Hunt(3rd pick), you can kiss Bell's ass goodbye for the 2019 season. That's what I think.

I don't watch college, and haven't saw many of his highlights, but I heard one commentator compare him to Barry Sanders earlier today when they were flashing a few highlights. However, when is the last time a RB, outside of Zeke, drafted that early... lived up to the hype? I'm honestly not sure myself. Too lazy to look it up right now, lol.

Def the most confusing or infinite # of possibilities in the top 5 in my memory. No clue what could happen. For the Eaglers at 32, couldn't begin to guess, they will fulfill a need, Maybe RB Guice? Broncos, that's a diff story at #5. Not really. Wow. They could trade down, and with whom (Bills? Fins? AZ?) will decide what the Broncos do. Id they picked at #5, if Barkley is there (doubtful), that's it, the only answer that makes sense. Chubb, fine. Don't wanna see them go for a QB. It's it's Rosen, I wouldn't be too pissed. They will likely trade down though, especially if the Browns don't with their 4th pick.

I think Barkley will be a phenom. His only issue may be the giants OL

It’s a need basis I suppose but are any of them really top 10 guys? I agree top5 is crazy right now

This is why it makes sense for the Browns to draft Barkley at #1, and wait for the next best QB that might be NFL ready. That's Darnold, Mayfield, or Rosen. But no one else, at least not the 'experts' seem to agree. Unless they are looking to trade the #4.

Both would be better than a QB at 1. The only way a QB makes sense at 1 is if they trade the #4

You're right though, that NYG O-Line could make him look bad. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Sounds like the Browns are gonna take QB-BAKER MAYFIELD at #1.
Again, I don't watch college ball, but this dude reminds me of Manziel quite a bit.
Undersized, not too strong an arm, and quite the personality?
