4.) *Trade Buffalo Bills- Josh Rosen QB UCLA
This is a tough choice to mock a Browns trade here but the pick could be worth a fortune to a few teams trying to secure the last of the big four QBs. With all QBs going before this the Browns can end up with the top QB and top non-QB if they wished. Buffalo gave up a lot to move up to put themselves in a position to get a QB so I think they will be the one pulling the trigger. In return the Browns end up with number 12, two seconds this year and a first round next year. Cleveland does this not only for the haul but because it is too high to draft a player of their biggest need at LT or CB while the Bills have excess picks to use.
Previous: Saquon Barkley RB Penn State *Cleveland Browns
5.) *Trade New York Giants- Saquon Barkley RB Penn State
Just like that all the QBs are gone in the first four picks and now the real talent starts to go. The Giants should go best player available and that is Barkley. He adds such another dimension to that offense that could give Eli one last playoff push.
Previous: Quentin Nelson OG Notre Dame *Trade Indianapolis Colts
6.) Indianapolis Colts- Bradley Chubb Edge NC State
The Colts have moved done and I kind of like their decision to add three second round picks in doing so. They might have the most needs left to fill for any team and can find capable starters in the second round. Drafting on a best player available mode they can go with a pass rusher who will make an immediate impact.
Previous: Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma *New York Jets
7.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Derwin James S Florida State
Derwin James being the first safety off the board may be a little bit of a shock for people. Tampa would have loved for Chubb to fall one more pick and I contemplated having them flop with the Colts to get him but I left it alone. TJ Ward is a free agent and that leaves a big hole at strong safety. Both Fitzpatrick and James can play throughout the secondary but James would be a better fit for what Tampa needs. Both are top ten talents so it is not like it is a huge mistake to draft talent that better fits a need.
Previous: Bradley Chubb DE NC State
8.) Chicago Bears- Quenton Nelson OG Notre Dame
Chicago took the steps in free agency to give Trubisky some weapons but now they can help solidify the line. Nelson is one of the best guard prospects to ever come out in the draft. Just plug him in and let him do his thing.

Ahh first ever mock draft i take it Personally the Browns would be complete Idiots to trade with Buffalo and not take 12,22 and all three second round picks this year. After the Jets gave up three picks to mobe two spot So the they could at least trade back into the first round two times and pass up on Bradly Chubbs. Buffalo does want a QB thats a premium. I find your draft idiotic
