Do not expect these players to last long on draft day. What makes that so shocking is that the team traded the third-round pick it acquired from Chicago on Thursday to pick up even more draft capital.
Which teams could be entering the new season with a franchise-changing rookie class?
The Bears traded the no. 3 pick, a third-round pick (no. 67), a fourth-round pick (no. 111), and a 2018 third-round pick to the 49ers to move up one spot to grab Trubisky?
The Kansas City Chiefs gave up next year's first-round pick and a third-round choice to swap first-round picks with the Buffalo Bills, allowing them to draft Mahomes, the Texas Tech gunslinger.
Houston Texans - Astronauts at the International Space Station and Space Center will announce picks for the first time from outer space.
Sam Allardyce has proved many wrong at in-form Crystal Palace
Dele Alli should have put Spurs ahead when he met Kyle Walker's cross three yards out, only to side-foot his effort wide. But with time running down Eriksen collected Harry Kane's pass and lashed a powerful drive inside the far post.
He should go early in the second round Friday night, and the belief here is that Cook will become a star who comes fairly close to matching what Ezekiel Elliott gave to the Dallas Cowboys previous year. In 2016, Howard was a first-team All-American Athletic Conference and led Houston with five interceptions.
Not that it's a defining predictive measure necessarily: He wasn't drafted No. 2 overall, he wasn't a quarterback and his team didn't deplete their draft larder trading to get him, but Kyle Long had switched from defense to offense and had all of six starts coming out of OR and has been to the Pro Bowl three times. The Titans and Chargers went with wide receivers Corey Davis of Western Michigan and Mike Williams of Clemson, respectively. I know some of y'all will know them, but there will be a lot of "huh?" moments for me today.
Before the first round was halfway done, two other teams mortgaged picks in trading for the opportunity to select the quarterbacks of the future.
Upside is what it's all about on Day 1 of the draft.
- A pair of running backs were selected in the top 10 as LSU's Leonard Fournette went to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 4 and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey was chosen at No. 8 by the Carolina Panthers. Although he needs to clean up reckless tendencies in both run support and coverage, Wilson is always ball searching and flashes down-the-road starting traits.
