1. Tennessee Titans: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
We don’t know what defensive scheme Tennessee will be using next season, due to impending turnover on the Titans’ coaching staff, but it doesn’t matter with Bosa. He is the draft’s most disruptive player after leading the nation in pass-rushing grade each of the last two years (+56.6, +45.2) and leading the way against the run this year as well (+26.0). The Titans got their franchise QB in Marcus Mariota in last year’s draft; this year, they get a future cornerstone on defense.
2. Cleveland Browns: Jared Goff, QB, California
Given the rocky start Johnny Manziel has had in Cleveland, the Browns may still be in the market for a quarterback this offseason — and in this scenario, they have the opportunity to take one at No. 2 overall. Goff is the best quarterback in a class that is deep but lacking in top-end talent. He made some poor decisions but continues to improve and is an effective downfield passer. He also performed well under pressure (+6.5 grade) and against the blitz (+13.0) — two good signs for his ability to translate to the NFL level.
3. San Diego Chargers: DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
The Chargers have been weak on the defensive line for some time, and Buckner is a perfect fit as a defensive end in their 3-4 scheme. Like Bosa, he can play the run as well as he rush the passer, and he led all interior defensive linemen with a +38.1 rush grade to go with 11 sacks, 14 hits, and 39 hurries. He’s a disruptive fore on a defense that needs one.
4. Baltimore Ravens: Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State
It’s rare for the Ravens to be drafting this early, and they’re expected to look hard at the defensive backfield. Ramsey brings the versatility that NFL teams will covet. He has played safety, slot and outside corner at FSU, grading at +22.6 last season and +16.6 this year.
5. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Doctson, WR, TCU
This is a depleted 49ers roster that could use help all over the place, and the future at quarterback is still up in the air, making Memphis QB Paxton Lynch a possibility for them in the first round. But we don’t have Lynch rated as highly as some do, and Doctson will help whichever signal-caller that eventually wins the job. He has the ability to win down the field while making catches with defenders draped all over him, two big parts of his + 24.5 receiving grade that ranked second in the nation this season (he was No. 1 prior to his season-ending injury).
