With the words "microfracture surgery" being whispered about Myles Jack now, I don't think he will be our pick unless we trade down a good bit.  I believe Ramsey will be the pick if he's there, but he probably won't be.  So I'm saying Bosa or Buckner, depending on who Caldwell likes best.  

 

My guess/prediction is that the Chargers take Ramsey.  Dallas wanted Ramsey, so they go ahead and take RB Elliott, because they know there will be very good DE's still available in the 2nd.  Since Ramsey is gone, and Caldwell knows he can still get Bosa, Buckner or Jack at #8, he accepts a trade from the Browns, who want to move up ahead of the 49ers to get Lynch.

 

"With the 5th pick....wait, what....there has been a trade!"

 

1. L.A. - QB Jared Goff

2. PHI - QB Carson Wentz

3. S.D. - DB Jalen Ramsey

4. DAL - RB Ezekiel Elliott

5. CLE - QB Paxton Lynch 

6. BAL - OT Laremy Tunsil

7. S.F. - OT Ronnie Stanley

8. JAC - DE Joey Bosa (from CLE)

9. TAM - CB Vernon Hargreaves

10. NYG - DE DeForest Buckner

11. CHI - OLB Leonard Floyd

12. N.O. - DT Sheldon Rankins

13. MIA - DE Shaq Lawson

14. OAK - LB Myle Jack

15. TEN - OT Jack Conklin

16. DET - WR Laquon Treadwell

17. ATL - LB Darron Lee

18. IND - OC Ryan Kelly

19. BUF - DT Jarran Reed

20. NYJ - LB Reggie Ragland

21. WAS - DT A'Shawn Robinson

22. HOU - WR Corey Coleman

23. MIN - WR Josh Doctson

24. CIN - DT Andrew Billings

25. PIT - CB William Jackson

26. SEA - OT Taylor Decker

27. G.B. - DT Vernon Butler

28. K.C. - DT Robert Nkemdiche

29. ARI - CB Eli Apple

30. CAR - OT Jason Spriggs

31. DEN - OG Cody Whitehair

 

38. CB Artie Burns - missed out on Ramsey in the 1st, but Burns has starting potential while Colvin is out

 

69. OC Nick Martin - can start at OG or Center, giving Jags more flexibility to find perfect starting line-up

 

77. DT Javon Hargrave - (from Cleveland) very quick big man, back-up NT this year, starter next year

 

103. LB Joe Schobert - (not the fastest, but can play outside or move inside to replace Poz next year)

 

If Burns is gone in Round 2, watch out for OG Josh Garnett (Outland Trophy Winner) as a sleeper pick.  He would give Jags a road-grader to help Chris Ivory score on those goal-line carries and 3rd and shorts.  We would then go CB in the 3rd, maybe D.J. White from Georgia Tech.
