Caleb Williams is Moving Markets
Williams had long been speculated to be the top selection this season, even going back two seasons when he won the Heisman Trophy. The Bears made any doubts of who they would choose to be their new signal caller obsolete when they dealt their former first round pick Justin Fields away this offseason to the Pittsburgh Steelers. So, when draft day was upon us and we saw a -1000000 next to Williams name to be called first, there was little suspense. And yes, that is six zeros.

Vegas Baby, Vegas!
Laube seems like the perfect fit for the Raiders as a pass catching threat out of the backfield, and really he is THE pass catching threat at running back in this draft class. Laube received the 3rd best grade among RBs in this class by Pro Football Focus and that was low according to many scouts. Laube is a low to the ground runner, who has tremendous balance and quick feet. The Raiders are a team that have traditionally used versatile running backs and head coach Antonio Pierce is no exception.

Goncalves Goes in the 3rd
The 6 foot 6, 330 pound tackle out of Pitt seemed to be the Colts target all along. Indianapolis traded up from the 82nd pick to the 79th, giving Arizona a 6th rounder to get their man. Goncalves is likely going to be a swing lineman for the Colts next season. He has experience at both tackle spots, playing 11 games at left tackle and 13 at right tackle, but can also move to the inside in the NFL. The Colts see him as an elite pass protector after he allowed just 3 sacks in 900 pass block attempts in college. And in fact, all 3 of those sacks came as a freshman, he didn't give up one since then.

Grading the First Round for the Giants and Jets
When the Giants were on the clock everyone in the league was on the edge of their seats, because what New York would do would change the course of draft night. Instead of a QB, New York selected Malik Nabers. Nabers is not just a non QB but he is a serious weapon for Jones and you can see the Giants new found commitment to their well paid gunslinger. In almost any other draft Nabers would have been the #1 wide receiver taken off the board. He has all the makings of a true top WR and a #1 option for the #1 pick. His yards after catch ability is as good as anyone in this draft and he's been compared to Tyreek Hill. Nabers is an A pick for the Giants who's offense needed a jolt after losing Bakley in the offseason and he fits that explosive bill perfectly.
