I'm a Vikings fan. I'd like to see them take Treadwell (who they've had going to them in almost every mock i've seen). If he's not there, I'd like to see them go defensive back (since I'm not sold on Coleman or Docton being the kind of receiver we need) - maybe William Jackson or Eli Apple. I also wouldn't hate a trade down if Treadwell is gone, since there's a bunch of solid CBs and WRs in the late 1, early 2 range that are kinda a coin flip between.
Im a Broncos fan and I would love to get P. Lynch but do not think he will be there to get. I do not want Cook.

Major need is OT. Secondary needs are essentially CB, DL, and ILB and a WR.
Ramsey, Tunsil, and Stanley will be off the board for sure. I doubt Conklin will fall to them but I'd draft him if he did. Beyond that, I wouldn't draft an OT at their spot. I'd think about trading back for Spriggs or looking at the next tier of guys in the 2nd round. They should draft an OT in the first two rounds though. They can't wait until round 3 or after and get a projected LT of the future.
DT depth is great in this draft. I know a few that have the guy out of Louisville going to the Lions, but you can pick up high quality DTs in the middle rounds. I like a guy like Collins out of Nebraska around round 4. But you may be able to grab a guy that falls a bit in round three or later (Johnson, Day, Ridgeway, Henry). So I'd wait until round 4 probably for a DT and still get a quality guy that I think can contribute in the rotation immediately.
I wouldn't mind the Lions going for one of the top flight WRs in round 1 if Conklin is off the board and getting a OT in round 2. They need a guy that can stretch the field, but they have the depth right now to let a guy come along as a WR3 or WR4 and learn how to be an NFL WR. So get a guy with high upside but isn't as polished. Fuller, Coleman, Doctson, possibly Treadwell if they trade back at this spot. If not them, grab that OT and get a WR in the next round, where you can still grab a guy like Boyd, Shephard, or Cooper (I like Miller's upside, but is too similar to what the Lions have). The WR group isn't very deep this year though, a lot of possession guys after that group (or in that group in the case of Thomas), so if you don't grab one of those in round 2, you can slide to later rounds and grab a Carroo or Mitchell for depth later.
I really like Hargraves, but I think he has limited upside as an NFL player. He made up for limited athletic ability with great technique in college. You need both in the NFL. I'd wait until round 2-4 for a CB, and look for a Fuller, Howard, Burns, Alexander type to slip. You can still get solid CB prospects in the middle rounds with guys like Murray, etc.

Giants need to draft Zeke Elliott. We can't do the Rashad Jennings/Andre Williams/Orleans Darkwa combo again.

Elliott is damn good, but I would never draft a RB in the first round. Not in today's league. They have such a short shelf life, and you can find great RB pickups in the later rounds for much better value.

Lions: just fuck things up a little less this time. I guess that's all I can ask for at this point.
Stop being greedy. This is the Lions were talking about, okay?
That way he will have to play for a lousy team, with a crappy O-line in Michigan.
Best available OL every pick.
Keep it simple stupid.
