Well, make your call based on draft position and value. I'm going with:

Best value pick: Jacksonville Jaguars - Josh Allen

Worst value pick: Oakland Raiders - Clelin Ferrell

Best Value pick is the Redskins drafting Sweat late in the first round

Worst value pick was the Giants taking Jones at 6

Bills pick wasnt bad either. I heard they were thinking of trading up for the guy they got by staying put.

Yeah, Daniel Jones at #6 was both a shocker and a reach.

Best - Harry to NE at 32.

Worst - Murray #1. If he turns out great, then congrats on proving me wrong. But I would not take a tiny QB in the first round. Ever. Russell Wilson is the exception, not the rule.

he was in the 3rd round so he wasnt the exception.

Redskins got the QB they wanted all along and gave up nothing for him .

Giants taking a guy at 6 they could've got at 17 was a real reach .

Non QB wise I think Jax, Buffalo and Denver cleaned up. Oakland taking Ferrell at 4 made no sense

He is the exception for tiny QBs being successful. Still wouldn't have taken him in the 1st round. There was no way to know he would be a SB winner before he was drafted. Same with Murray. If he becomes a SB winner, AZ look like geniuses. But if he busts it will just go to show, don't bank on a tiny QB. I'm betting my opinion on the latter.

I assure you that every Vikings fan above the age of 12 was ecstatic with our pick with how horrendous our O-line has been for nearly a decade now lol

a top center makes the O-line as a whole. better.

Best value pick: Haskins to Washington. They needed a QB and they got the guy they wanted without having to give up any assets to get him. He's arguably the best QB in the draft as well (tbf, its a really weak class but he's still legit).

(Also really like Brian Burns to Carolina. Great pass rusher and they really needed a pass rusher. Great fit)

Worst value pick: Easily Jones to the Giants. They had a pick in the teens and got another one in the 20s. Daniel Jones would have been there at both those picks. They could have taken Ed Oliver, a better DL than Lawrence imo, at 6 and still got Jones at 17. And all that is not even factoring if Jones is going to be any good. Personally I don't think he's anything more than a back up. At best he'll be only a serviceable starter which makes taking him at #6 such a bad move. But let's say he's better than what I think, its still a bad move to take him at #6 knowing that no one else had him rated that highly. And even in the small chance some other team did take him before 17, is he really that much better than Haskins or even Drew Lock? NOPE. Dumb move.

Runner up is Ferrell to the Raiders. But I do think this will look better in the future. Ferrell is a stud. I think he'll be great. But they'd have been better served trading back into the teens, grabbing an extra mid round pick, if they were that locked in on Ferrell. I doubt anyone was taking him in the top 10. Maybe no other team wanted to move up but I doubt it. Raiders were probably asking for too much
