Thought this could be interesting ... something a bit different.
Some here are students of the draft so if 3 is hard then a few more would be interesting also.

A no brainer might be 3 of the top 10 or top 15 ... but we all know that's not always the case.

have at it ...
 
Rashaan Evans, Bo Scarborough, Calvin ridley, and Da'ron Payne. #ROLLTIDE Minkah will go down as the best CB to ever play the game though

1st rounder-Derwin James
2nd rounder-Mark Andrews
And my super sleeper mid round pick....Antonio Callaway.
 
Leighton Vander Esch and Evans will both be really great LBs. Evans is ready now.
 
Some local analysts are labeling Leighton Vander Esch as a potential bust. I don't watch college ball so.........Calling him Shea McClellin 2.0.

Those same voices in people’s heads made the pats draft butler and brace instead of barwin
 
So much of being a star is landing in the right system.

But based on raw talent:

Quentin Nelson. Best road grading guard since John Hannah, but just an average pass protector. I still see multiple all pro honors for him.

Bradley Chubb. So freaking strong as a pass rusher and run defender.

Fitzpatrick. He is the definition of hybrid s/lb/de. He can cover, play the run and pass rush.
 
Interesting to see that no one has mentioned Saquon Barkley. I think he’s going to be a franchise type of running back.

The Browns may actually luck out and get the QB of their choice at #1 and still be able to get Barkley at #4. This is under the assumption that the first three selections will be QBs, which I think is possible.
 
Talent is a talent but it all depends on the place player lands. Sometimes very talented players do not have opportunity to show their abilities due to many factors like injuries, adjustment to the new schemes etc. On the other hand players with less talent but being in right time and right place can develop and become stars. I am just saying very often a key factor is just luck.
Going back to the point. Chubb,Barkley and Nelson are no brainers. Nevertheless I strongly believe in Fitzpatrick,Alexander and Roquan Smith.
 
Pick #199 ___________ will be a superstar, and in 4 years from now the local sports talk idiots can criticize the Patriots for not picking that "guy", all the while ignoring that 31 other teams did not pick that "guy". Then it will descend into the familiar diatribe of how it was a wasted draft pick, BB is senile or the game has passed him by..

Something to look forward to??.. the draft is crap perpetuated by those who need this part of the NFL season to justify their existence... a billion dollar debacle, complete with draft grades the following week..
 
My only prediction is that no one drafted by the Browns or the Bills will become a long-term superstar, unless perhaps he's traded to another team before his 3rd season (and the infection has become permanent).
 
Vita Vea, Orlando Brown, Tremaine Edmunds

That's a super lazy comparison. The similarities start and end with "sleeper white guy from Boise St."

My superstars in this draft are Derrius Guice, Maurice Hurst and Orlando Brown.
 
Barkley, James, and Fitzpatrick.

Agree on Barkley. I think he’s gonna be a better version of Reggie bush
 
I think Calvin Ridley is one. Great route runner with great hands, good speed, Sony Michel is another, a do it all RB, think of a faster, bigger Deion Lewis, or a faster Matt Forte. I really like WR Courtland Sutton from SMU. I think he’s very underrated, and has a chance to be a star receiver.
