Draft Review - My Favourite pick per Team - AFC North
By Daren Roberts
Special to sfl-football.com

My favourite part of the calendar is the draft. I, like many others, will pore over the draft class, pore over my roster, who is a free agent, who is nearing regression.

I thought it would be fun to review each team's draft class and my favourite selection.


3.30 CB Quincy Wilson, Florida | My Big Board: 2nd round

Attributes:
Age: 21
Height: 6-0
Weight: 209lbs

Overall: 79
Speed: 93
Strength: 56
Awareness: 62
Agility: 93
Acceleration: 98
Catch: 62
Jump: 96
Tackle: 58


Analysis - Wilson had a great skew but he already looked promising. Just 21 years old, he is an absolute steal at the end of the 3rd round. A legit starter out of the gate, will be an excellent corner for years to come.

1.24 QB Brad Kaaya, Miami | My Big Board: 2nd round

Attributes:
Age: 21
Height: 6-4
Weight: 215lbs

Overall: 75
Speed: 60
Strength: 52
Awareness: 57
Throw Power: 99
Throw Accuracy: 82


Analysis - Kaaya's most promising attributes are his age and arm. He can be mentored and sent to training camp and its not a recipe I haven't studiously followed. The Browns need to be patient with this investment.

1.16 LE Johnathan Allen, Alabama | My Big Board: Top 10

Attributes:
Age: 22
Height: 6-3
Weight: 291lbs

Overall: 90
Speed: 80
Strength: 73
Awareness: 70
Agility: 81
Acceleration: 87
Jump: 64
Tackle: 80


Analysis - I loved this pick - I scouted Allen and he was a consideration for me at 12, originally. He and Myles Garrett are the most polished defensive ends to come out ever and I envisage double digit sacks for both for seasons to come.

2.9 CB Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State | My Big Board: 2nd round

Attributes:
Age: 21
Height: 6-0
Weight: 195lbs

Overall: 80
Speed: 92
Strength: 50
Awareness: 63
Agility: 89
Acceleration: 95
Catch: 70
Jump: 88
Tackle: 64


Analysis - It was between Lattimore and Malone but I went with Lattimore. He doesnt have top end agility but with some investment and progression, he will be an excellent corner back. Again, being 21 adds value.
