1) Tampa Bay – QB Jameis Winston
2) Tennessee – QB Marcus Mariota
3) Jacksonville – OLB Dante Fowler
4) Oakland – DE Leonard Williams
5) Washington – OLB Vic Beasley
6) New York Jets – OL Brandon Schreff
7) Chicago – WR Kevin White
8) Atlanta – OLB Bud Dupree
9) New York Giants – OL La'El Collins
10) St Louis – WR Amari Cooper
11) Minnesota – CB Trae Waynes
12) Cleveland – DT Danny Shelton -The Browns could go Parker here if they want that Big 3 WR, but I think with NT Danny Shelton on the board, the defensive minded Browns get their Haloti Ngata to solidify the interior of the DL and shore up the league's 32nd ranked run defense.. This is the best possible outcome at 12 for me.
13) New Orleans – OLB Randy Gregory
14) Miami – WR Devante Parker
15) San Francisco – DE Arik Armstead
16) Houston – DL Malcolm Brown
17) San Diego – RB Todd Gurley
18) Kansas City – WR Dorial Green-Beckham
19) Cleveland – WR Breshad Perriman -Perriman has the size, speed combo you look for in a true #1 WR in the NFL. He is a physical freak and respected NFL films analyst Greg Cossel thinks he could be the best WR in this draft.
20) Philadelphia – CB Kevin Johnson
21) Cincinnati – OL Andrus Peat
22) Pittsburgh – CB Marcus Peters
23) Detroit – DL Eddie Goldman
24) Arizona – OL Ereck Flowers

30) Green Bay – CB Jalen Collins
31) New Orleans – WR Nelson Agohlor
32) New England – CB Eric Rowe
12) DL Danny Shelton (Washington) *
The Browns could go with Parker here if they want that big-three wide receiver, but I think with Shelton on the board, the defensive-minded Browns get their Haloti Ngata to solidify the interior of the defensive line and shore up the league's 32nd-ranked run defense. This is the best possible outcome at 12 for me.
*19) WR Breshad Perriman (Central Florida) *
Perriman has the size and speed combination you look for in a true No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL. He is a physical freak and respected NFL films analyst Greg Cosell thinks he could be the best wide receiver in this draft.

- WR Amari Cooper
- OLB Bud Dupree
- RB Todd Gurley
- OT Brandon Scherff
- WR Kevin White
- CB Trae Waynes
- WR DeVante Parker – Browns general manager Ray Farmer sticks to what he said in his pre-draft press conference. Though the Browns added Dwayne Bowe and Brian Hartline in free agency, Farmer's draft board isn't affected "one iota," as he lands one of this year's top playmakers.
- OL La'el Collins
- WR Breshad Perriman
- DL Arik Armstead
- DL Danny Shelton
- RB Melvin Gordon
- WR Jaelen Strong
- OL Cameron Erving – His versatility as an offensive lineman that can play all five positions is just too alluring to pass.

9) New York Giants – RB Todd Gurley
10) St Louis – WR DeVante Parker
11) Minnesota – DL Danny Shelton
12) Cleveland – OLB Vic Beasley – Ray Farmer and company are thrilled when the ferocious pass rusher unexpectedly slips to pick No.12. Beasley will fight for playing time right away and has potential to be a 10-sack player year in and year out.
13) New Orleans – Ol Brandon Scherff
14) Miami – OL La'El Collins
15) San Francisco – DL Arik Armstead
16) Houston – WR Nelson Agholor
17) San Diego – RB Melvin Gordon
18) Kansas City – CB Marcus Peters
19) Cleveland – DL Malcom Brown – Versatility is why Cleveland will ultimately pull the trigger on Brown. The 320-pounder is big enough to play nose tackle in the middle but agile enough to set the edge as a defensive end in the Browns' scheme.
20) Philadelphia – WR Breshad Perriman
21) Cincinnati – OL Andrus Peat
22) Pittsburgh – CB Kevin Johnson

12) OLB Vic Beasley (Clemson)*
Farmer and Co. are thrilled when the ferocious pass rusher unexpectedly slips to pick No. 12. Beasley will fight for playing time right away and has potential to be a 10-sack player year in and year out.
19) DL Malcom Brown (Texas)
Versatility is why Cleveland will ultimately pull the trigger on Brown. The 320-pounder is big enough to play nose tackle in the middle but agile enough to set the edge as a defensive end in the Browns' scheme.
