The Titans needed a quarterback and drafted the top one in the class. Ward is a quality QB prospect with good upside to grow into a franchise player, and the Titans have put together a good enough offensive line where he’ll have a real chance to reach his ceiling. Ward might not be as highly thought of as the quarterback prospects from last year, but he’s worthy of the first pick, and the Titans had a huge hole at quarterback.

The Jaguars have made the first bold move of the draft, with new general manager James Gladstone taking the “F them picks” approach from his former workplace with the Rams. The Jaguars are getting the best player in the draft and will get to decide his fate on offense or defense, but he plans on playing both ways. Obviously, the Jaguars have not spoken much about Hunter prior to the draft, but it’s hard to hate on a team that already believes they have their quarterback going up and getting Hunter.

This pick gives the Giants one of the fiercest pass rushes in the league and puts Carter with star defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns. If the Giants’ cornerback play can improve this year, this could be one of the most improved defenses in the league. The presence of Lawrence, Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux will give Carter some great matchups to wreak havoc as a rookie. Perhaps the Giants could’ve gone offensive line here, but Carter’s upside as a pass rusher, in that front seven, is hard to turn down.

Draft Grade: B-
It’s tough to find starting outside wide receivers in the NFL, even if Harris needs some seasoning from the Chargers’ coaching staff. There’s a good base to build from here, and Harris will benefit from being in a run-heavy offense with Justin Herbert and Ladd McConkey in the ecosystem.

Fair to project Smith as a nickel back for DeMeco Ryans' scheme considering the Texans are set at the top corner spots with Derek Stingley Jr. and Kamari Lassiter.
He's got raw tools and can move well, testing very well as an athlete, which pairs well with his size. He's got upside as a potential starter at tackle down the road.
