Kyler Murray was already the predicted 1st overall pick. Although it was a pick that everyone believed to be locked in, the Cardinals took their time. One of the concerns for Kyler Murray was his size as he is only 5′ 10″ 207lbs. (Most Quarterbacks that are selected as the first pick stand over 6 feet tall.) Murray’s selection made history as back-to-back first overall picks were Quarterbacks from the same school. Baker Mayfield preceded Murray in the 2018 NFL Draft being drafted to the Cleveland Browns.

Considered the first major surprise of the draft, Ferrell was projected to be a mid-to-late pick in the first round. Concerns surrounding Ferrell are his lack of elite speed and the disappointment of Clemson pass rushers in the past.

Haskins was passed up as the Giants’ 6th overall pick for Duke Quarterback, Daniel Jones. As a Washington Redskin, he will have two opportunities to make them regret their decision.

The Giant’s pick make it the first time in history that three Clemson players are selected in the first round. However, the disappointment surrounding this pick on behalf of the Giants’ fan base comes from Lawrence being the first drafted player from the OBJ trade. The Giants picked up Jabril Peppers and they still have a third round pick to follow.

This big moment for Simmons may be overshadowed by the video ESPN felt was important to share. Very little was said about the pick or how he fits in with the Titans organization. We’ll note that the 19th overall pick had 157 tackles, seven sacks, four forced fumbles and six passes defensed in three seasons.

Fant’s selection makes history as he and teammate, TJ Hockenson make it the first time two Tight Ends from the same school are drafted in the first round.

The Eagles traded up to swipe Dillard right before Houston Texans. Dillard is the first ever Washington State Lineman to come off the board in the first round.

There were several mentions of why the prospect’s stock fell, all of which surrounding his health as he was diagnosed with a heart issue called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy . However, prior to the draft, it began to spread that Sweat was misdiagnosed. There is some excitement within the Redskins fan base as this pick follows their 15th overall pick, QB Dwayne Haskins. Both Redskins’ picks fell lower than expected, but both plan to show everyone how they messed up.
