There are a number of notable developments here. First, Jacksonville Jaguars get Kayvon Thibodeaux DE, Oregon, over Aidan Hutchinson, as defensive ends go one and two for the first time, ever, in the NFL Draft. Second, Jameis Winston gets the star Ohio State pass catcher Chris Olave, to complement the returning Michael Thomas, thus forming what promises to be one of the most dangerous passing attacks in the NFL. Then, the Dallas Cowboys take QB from Liberty, Malik Willis, thus giving him time to learn under Dak Prescott, and at the same time, pushing Dak to get better, while giving Kellen Moore a running QB to use in goal line situations. Personally, I think Malik Willis winds up starting in three years, unless Dallas wins a Super Bowl during that time frame. The Kansas City Chiefs get younger and better up front on defense, and answer for the loss of Tyreek Hill by making a first round statement. Hill was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Remember that. Also, note that the Denver Broncos and the Las Vegas Raiders are not present in the NFL Draft 1st Round. In reality, I expect one or both teams to deal back in, in some way.
