Rough first round for my predictions. I correctly called 23 of the 31 players selected, but only 2 were exactly correct (Bryce Young #1 to Carolina & Tyree Wilson #7 to Las Vegas), I also called Will Anderson correctly to Houston, but not at the right pick.

Some quick winners and losers from round one:

WINNERS

• HOUSTON TEXANS- paid a price but got their franchise QB, and my number one QB, and the face of their defense & my top overall player in CJ Stroud & Will Anderson, respectively.
• PHILADELPHIA EAGLES- Somehow they came out of the first round with Jalen Carter AND Nolan Smith and it only cost them next year’s fourth rounder.
• BIJAN ROBINSON- After much debate about the value of running backs, Robinson became the highest selected RB since Saquon Barkley.
• NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS- Even after trading back a few spots, they landed one of the two best corners and a top ten talent in Christian Gonzalez.

LOSERS

• DETROIT LIONS- Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell are solid players, but neither plays a premier position and they both felt like major reaches.
• NEW YORK JETS- It seemed inconsequential R the time, but the first round pick swap involved in the Aaron Rodgers trade cost them a shot at a premier offensive tackle.
• WILL LEVIS- I had him mocked at #4, nearly everyone had him top fifteen and nobody had him falling out of round one. Yet, he’ll still be waiting for his name to be called on day two.
• TIGHT ENDS- The best TE class in years saw only Dalton Kincaid go in the first round, despite several teams having a clear need.

Now on to my day two mock draft:
