                A year ago, the Redskins added Montez Sweat in the first round at No. 33 overall. It was great value. They give him a running mate a year later. Young is the top prospect overall and a terror for opposing offensive lines.

                Detroit is an interesting team early in the draft. They could trade the pick to a team looking to trade up for a quarterback or could take the best player on their board. Simmons is a defensive chess piece that will elevate everyone’s play.

                The season began with ‘Tank for Tua.’ Miami did not tank and, instead, exceeded expectations. They still land their potential quarterback of the future at No. 5 overall. Teams may be looking to move up in the draft order to secure Tagovailoa.

                Brown does not play offensive tackle or quarterback – both of which are expected to be in high demand early – but a few question that he is one of the five best players available regardless of position. L.A. rides with Tyrod Taylor for a year and snags Brown to enhance the team’s defense.
