| Round | Pick | Team | Note | Player |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Cleveland Browns | Myles Garrett, EDGE | |

| 1 | 3 | Chicago Bears | Marshon Lattimore, CB | |
| 1 | 4 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Leonard Fournette, RB | |

3. Bears select Marshon Lattimore, Cornerback
Lattimore's Speed Score (weight-adjusted 40) and Explosion Score (weight-adjusted jumps) are on par with athletic marvel Byron Jones. He can play a variety of coverages, and fill a plethora of roles.
numberFire Says: Last year, the Bears were just 19th-best in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. Lattimore would step into the top role immediately, bringing the whole average up.
6. Jets select Jamal Adams, Strong Safety
Not only does Adams have the ability to make an immediate impact on whichever team drafts him, his intangibles are off the charts. Adams has a rare blend of skills and instincts that will help him star in the NFL.
numberFire Says: The Jets' pass defense ranked 29th in the NFL in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. Upgrades are needed at both the corner and safety positions.
7. Chargers select Garrett Bolles, Offensive Tackle
I don't care that he's 25; Bolles is the most athletic offensive lineman in the class. His presence will both protect quarterback Philip Rivers in his waning years and help transition away from him. He will have to make some improvements in the NFL on the edge, however.
numberFire Says: San Diego ranked seventh-worst in Rushing Success Rate and 10th-worst in Sack NEP in 2016.
10. Bills select Corey Davis, Wide Receiver
Davis was one of the most productive receivers in college football over his four years, with more than 5,200 receiving yards, an FBS record. An incredibly polished receiver, Davis consistently averaged more than 14.0 yards per catch as a Bronco.
numberFire Says: Among receivers with 30 or more receptions, Robert Woods was the only Bill to rank in the top-50 in Reception NEP per target, and he left in free agency.
