Linebacker - LSU. Philadelphia Eagles. Patrick Queen. 21. player. 54.

The Eagles have a multitude of needs on both sides of the ball. None more prevalent than WR and LB. I don’t think the Eagles have a WR they like at No. 21 since 4 of the top 5 guys are gone. They address arguably a more pressing need at a position with much less depth. 

Trevon Diggs. 22. player. 60. . Defensive Back - Alabama. Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings trade one Diggs brother away only to draft another. The Vikings have several needs as well mostly on the defensive front-7 and OL. They could use another WR here now that they traded Stefon Diggs away, but they take the other Diggs brother and hold off on a WR for later in the draft. Alabama football ties the record for most 1st round picks in one draft.

Quarterback - Utah St.. Los Angeles Chargers. Jordan Love. 23. player. 13.

I know I said the Chargers are going to wait to try to draft Trevor Lawrence next season, but they will still take a chance on a QB this year to give the fans in LA something to come out and cheer for.

Jordan Love has fantastic potential and at best the Chargers don’t have to tank for Trevor next year because Love ends up as a franchise QB. At worst, he is a project QB that they trade next year similar to how the Cardinals traded Josh Rosen and took Kyler Murray last year.

. Linebacker - Oklahoma. New Orleans Saints. Kenneth Murray. 24. player. 15

The Saints are in the final years of Drew Brees and want to get one more Super Bowl before he retires. They also need to keep an eye on the future and a QB is a possibility here. If Jordan Love is still on the board he is a possibility. If not, they will be looking for a LB. Kenneth Murray is the best LB left on the board.

EDGE - Penn St.. Minnesota Vikings. Yetur Gross-Matos. 25. player. 60.

The Vikings use their second of two first round picks to continue addressing the defensive side of the ball. Gross-Matos is the best EDGE rusher left on the board at this point so he heads to Minnesota.
