The CBS Sports HQ live draft show featured two hours of picks, trades, analysis and even some surprises. One pick that didn't surprise was at No. 1, where the Arizona Cardinals took Kyler Murray (despite Pete Prisco disagreeing with the selection). Among the 32 first-rounders, four quarterbacks in total went off the board, but it was the pass rushers and defensive linemen who led the way; both groups had six players taken. Next up, offensive line and wide receivers (four each), tight ends, linebackers and cornerbacks (two each), and safety (one).Â
There were also several trades: the Lions traded up from No. 8 to No. 3 to grab edge rusher Josh Allen and the Jets moved back to grab right tackle Jawaan Taylor. And the Raiders, flushed with four of the first 35 selections, moved up from No. 24 to No. 11 to get a much-needed pass rusher. In exchange, they sent the Bengals picks No. 27 and 35. Cincinnati, by the way, wasn't done making deals, trading for a new franchise quarterback: Josh Rosen.

NFL Mock Draft
Round 1
Round 1 - Pick 1
Barton Simmons: Kyler Murray is the best player in the draft. Let's not overthink this thing ... He's a perfect fit for that offense.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 2
Jamey Eisenberg: He's the best player in this draft. He's the guy that can be a difference maker on the defensive line ... This player in Bosa makes us that much better.
| |||||||
 Mock Trade from
New York Jets
Round 1 - Pick 3
Will Brinson: I decided to move up and pull the trigger ... I think a team like the Jets would be very willing to move down for ... not a ransom. And that's sort of what Detroit was thinking here when they fell in love with Josh Allen putting him on the edge.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 4
Ryan Wilson: I am not passing on Quinnen Williams ... Quinnen Williams just makes too much sense. You could argue that he's the best player in this draft.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 5
Bryant McFadden: I believe White has a higher ceiling than (Kwon) Alexander ... This guy is a stud. He's an impactful player, Day 1 starter. Book it.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 6
Danny Kanell: We got the safer play at quarterback in Dwayne Haskins ... We need a franchise quarterback of the future so we're taking it in Dwyane Haskins.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 7
Pete Prisco: You get one of the dominant defensive players in this draft. The guy can get up the field as quick as anybody -- I know he's a little light -- but there are comparisons to Aaron Donald.
| |||||||
 Mock Trade from
Detroit Lions
Round 1 - Pick 8
Will Brinson: I think that if you're gonna have that franchise quarterback in Sam Darnold, it's incumbent upon you to get some protection for him.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 9
Jamey Eisenberg: Landing Montez Sweat, while not necessarily a huge need ... It's more of a luxury pick of taking the best player available at this spot, because he's a star.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 10
Danny Kanell: I think this looks like another whiff for John Elway ... Paxton Lynch was a complete bust ... I just feel like this is the perfect example of a player who scouts and GMs have fallen in love with when you just see him in person and he's slinging the ball around.
| |||||||
 Mock Trade from
Cincinnati Bengals
Round 1 - Pick 11
Ryan Wilson: He's a sideline to sideline guy despite that size and that weight, and I think he immediately helps the rush game that was invisible last year once they got rid of Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 12
Pete Prisco: Now I get a sideline to sideline thumper, and a guy who can really play linebacker ... If I can get Devin Bush and add him to that defense, Mike Pettine has a lot of toys to play with when you consider the young corners outside.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 13
Danny Kanell: Let's start working on our offensive line so when we do get a quarterback down the road he'll be protected ... A guy that's gonna step in ready-made to play in the NFL.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 14
Bryant McFadden: In your division you're playing against Cam Newton twice a year, you're playing against Drew Brees twice a year ... And you'd better find ways to put pressure on those elite quarterbacks ... Now you got a guy that can be a three-down lineman.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 15
Will Brinson: These quarterback picks, the Redskins and the Broncos feel like 2011 all over again where teams in need reach instead of grabbing the good defensive talent on the board.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 16
Will Brinson: This is a team that prided itself for so long on a defensive line to get after the passer ... They've done some nice things in terms of bringing some under-the-radar veterans ... They need a pure pass rusher.
| |||||||
 From
Cleveland Browns
Round 1 - Pick 17
Danny Kanell: Outstanding player, Ryan Wilson I saw earlier had him mocked up at No. 4 ... It's worth the risk taking him at this point in the draft.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 18
Ryan Wilson: It's a great thing to happen for Mike Zimmer for sure, and certainly Kirk Cousins as well ... He's the most versatile tight end in this class.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 19
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 20
Bryant McFadden: When you talk about the Steelers defense when they were doing good things, it was attitude. That's the thing that I love about Jonathan Abram: He has the attitude, he has the 'it' factor, he believes in himself.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 21
Jamey Eisenberg: You have to give Russell Wilson weapons if you're going to pay him what you just paid him. Tyler Lockett had a great season, he was the speed guy, that's why we're passing on Marquise Brown, they have that speed already on the field.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 22
Danny Kanell: When he is on the field he is lightning in a bottle. Can pop the top off defenses, but also can make ... these little slip screens.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 23
Barton Simmons: Andre Dillard, all he did was pass protect at Washington State ... He's a guy that can come in right away and play, play well and protect [Deshaun Watson].
| |||||||
 From
Chicago Bears
Round 1 - Pick 24
Ryan Wilson: He's a press corner. He can play zone, he can do everything you want him to do. He still has some things to work on, because this is a relatively new position for him.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 25
Will Brinson: Coming off an ACL tear, understanding that this is not a clean draft pick. This is a 'let's get a guy on a discount' because of when he suffered an injury. This is an explosive playmaker who can get in the backfield, who can be really dangerous in terms of rushing from the interior.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 26
Pete Prisco: When you look at Dexter Lawrence, I've had scouts and personnel compare him to Kris Jenkins ... He has that type of ability to get inside, pressure the quarterback, and he's a massive man.
| |||||||
 Mock Trade from
Oakland Raiders
Round 1 - Pick 27
Ryan Wilson: You have Josh Rosen, who also had no one blocking for him Arizona, and now you add a right tackle in Cody Ford who was absolutely dominant -- played in one of the best offensive lines in football along with Kyler Murray and Hollywood Brown.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 28
Jamey Eisenberg: This is a defensive line that still needs some help ... I like what he brings to the table and I like helping out this Chargers defense that should complement what should be one of the more explosive offenses in the NFL.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 29
Bryant McFadden: The one knock on their team was what? Defense. Especially the pass defense ... When I look at Byron Murphy ... He's very very instinctive, he has that quick-twitch muscle that you love to see from your cornerbacks, I think this is a guy that can be a big-time player.
| |||||||
 From
New Orleans Saints
Round 1 - Pick 30
Pete Prisco: Parris Campbell can fly. I thought he was misused at Ohio State, he can run, he should be used on the outside a little bit more. I think he can inside and play in the slot as well.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 31
Danny Kanell: The biggest knock against him is the competition he played against, but how often do we see players get overlooked because they weren't playing in the SEC? I love this kid, I think he's gonna come in a perfect fit in a talent-rich defense where he's gonna get a lot of good matchups.
| |||||||
Round 1 - Pick 32
Danny Kanell: Tom Brady needs weapons, something they've overlooked for some time in New England because I think they take him for granted sometimes, so I do like it from that standpoint.
