5. Washington Redskins: G/T Brandon Scherff -This was a surprise pick for sure. With Leonard Williams and Vic Beasley on the board the Redskins took G/T Brandon Scherff. While some might call it a reach (and not really b/c he was likely to go in the top 10), Scheff fills a major need in Washington … More »

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Jameis Winston -No real surprise here as the Bucs land the guy they’ve been talking about for months.

1. Where will Marcus Mariota go? -It’s likely the Oregon signal caller goes 2nd overall (though not guaranteed), but that doesn’t mean he’s a lock to go to the Titans.
