Baker Mayfield. 10. player. 32. (TRADE) <p><strong>Cardinals Trade:</strong> No. 15, 47, 152 overall picks.</p> <p><strong>Raiders Trade:</strong> No. 10, 185 overall picks</p>. Quarterback. Oklahoma

The Cardinals trade in front of the Dolphins to secure their quarterback of the future.

Arizona is a great landing spot for Mayfield. His maturity will not be big issue in Arizona because they have veterans in place to keep him in check. Larry Fitzgerald will be a great mentor that can help him grow into the future face of the Arizona Cardinals.

He will also get time to learn from Sam Bradford. Bradford should start the year as the guy, but don’t be surprised if Mayfield wins the job in training camp. (Justin)

Previous Pick: Unchanged

Louisville. Lamar Jackson. 11. player. 59. . Quarterback

The Dolphins will round out the run on first-round quarterbacks.

I believe Lamar Jackson will fit in well with Adam Gase’s scheme and their recent personnel moves seem to indicate they are moving to a fast-paced offense.

Signing guys like Albert Wilson and Danny Amendola, while already having Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker, likely means they are going to a spread offense.

That type of offense will allow Lamar Jackson to showcase his talents fully. If Tannehill plays poorly, it will be Jackson’s show. (Justin)

Previous Pick: Denzel Ward

player. 46. (TRADE) <p><strong>Bills Trade</strong>: No. 12, 22, 65, 166 overall picks.</p> <p><strong>Colts Trade</strong>: No. 3 overall pick.</p>. Defensive End. Texas-San Antonio. Marcus Davenport. 12

The Colts trade back from No. 3 to help fill several holes on the team, and they start with one of the best athletes in the draft. Marcus Davenport is a freak of nature that is 6-foot-6, 264 pounds, and he ran a 4.58 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.

Indy needs talent everywhere, and since the days of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis they have been barren at pass rusher. Davenport can play with his hand on the ground or stand up and rush from the edge in a 3-4. His immense potential and talent could certainly help a Colts defense that needs it badly. (Steve)

Previous Pick: Bradley Chubb
