The NFL Draft is fast approaching and with just over a week left in the process many teams are starting to finalize their draft boards as workouts and meetings with players subside and decisions are made, with the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles making the first four selections.
There could be a number of trades in the first round since the draft is not considered to be one of the best in recent memory, with SI.com's Peter King writing that the Jaguars and Raiders could be looking to trade out of their spot, but chances are Oakland will be unable to do that. There are a number of players at the top of the draft that could be taken number one, but it appears that the Chiefs have settled on either Eric Fisher or Luke Joeckel on the offensive line, leaving the Jaguars to select Geno Smith if they want to.
The Oakland Raiders are in a tough spot since they may like a player that will get picked ahead of them, but with Dion Jordan, Jarvis Jones and Dee Milliner available, the team should be able to get a high impact player with the third pick. If Geno Smith starts to slip, there is a chance that the Eagles could draft him, but it is more likely that he will go to the Jaguars or to the Cardinals later on despite the fact that they traded for Carson Palmer from the Raiders earlier in the offseason.
The Lions are looking hard at Milliner, while they could also draft one of the top linemen depending on how the picks go ahead of them. The Eagles have brought in a number of quarterbacks and players for visits and one options could be Jordan, who played for coach Chip Kelly at Oregon. The Browns could also look at a quarterback or a lineman, including Lane Johnson, who is considered to be the third prospect at his position.
Buffalo has some intriguing options with Ryan Nassib, but they also could go defense with the pick, just like the Jets, who like Barkevious Mingo from LSU. Sharrif Floyd from Florida is a popular name out there, as is Utah's Star Lotulelei, who went in with the Eagles for a visit earlier in the offseason process.
Chance Warmack could be a top 10 pick as a guard and Ziggy Ansah from BYU could surprise by being taken in the top 10 as well. Geno Smith could slide out of the top 10 and there is a chance that Nassib will go first after rising on draft boards.
