NFL Draft 2017: Garrett goes to Browns No1; Bears pick Trubisky No2 – as it happened

Needing defense, the Saints go offensive line.

The first round is over.

Foster’s fall ends. So the 49ers get Solomon Thomas and Foster, two players many scouts ranked as Top 5 or 10 talents. Nice work by John Lynch.

After a long tribute to Dan Rooney by Franco Harris and Jerome Bettis, the Steelers take Watt.

No quarterback for the Browns. They go with a tight end who can jump.

Miami remains a tight end factory.

Vidauntae “Taco” Charlton is the pick for Dallas, who probably can’t hope to do as well as they did in last year’s draft.

The Cowboys need more help at cornerback than on the line, but they could upgrade most everywhere on defense and obviously took the remaining defensive player they had highest on their board.

White has a ton of upside as a cornerback, but he is also a big kick return threat.

The Falcons get the speedy linebacker out of UCLA who can rush the passer. Maybe he can help Atlanta hold 28-3 leads.

Too soon?

Maybe.

Anyway, Atlanta traded up with Seattle to make this pick.

I hate to say it, but ... the Browns are doing pretty well tonight. Myles Garrett and Jabrill Peppers are solid picks and they managed to get Peppers after trading down from No. 12. Watch out for the ... Cleveland Browns?

Conley was accused of raping a woman in a Cleveland hotel on April 9th. Conley has said those allegations are “completely false.”

Oakland apparently believes he’s innocent.

The Giants add another receiver to their arsenal. Engram is listed as a tight end, but he has receiver speed.

Engram went to the same school as Eli Manning. But Engram was a toddler when Eli went there.

Miami bolsters its defense. But the big story here is that Harris had Big Foot at his draft party.

Davis is a tough inside linebacker who can tackle. Not the type of player who will wow anyone, but the kind of solid guy NFL teams need at the position. Most mock drafts had him available later, but the Lions took him now.

Bolles is the first offensive lineman taken in the 2017 NFL Draft. This is the latest an offensive lineman has been picked in the modern history of the draft.

Jameis Winston has the best tight end in the draft. And another Alabama player goes.

The Titans went wide receiver earlier in the 1st Round and now add a cornerback. Look for the Titans, who went 9-7 last year, to be a popular pick to make the playoffs.

Here comes the Alabama run.

Washington gets Allen, from the DC suburb of Leesburg, Virginia. He probably knows the Washington organization well. Not sure if that’s good or bad.

The Ravens pick the first Alabama player of the draft. Usually there’s four or five gone by now. Maybe that’s why they only managed to finish second in college football last year? That must be it. Your team is now just a good NFL roster instead of a great one, Alabama. Fix that.

That’s the second Ohio State defensive back off the board in the first half of the 1st Round.

Hooker is a former high school basketball player who can go up and get the ball in coverage. It’s kind of a surprise no one tried to make him into a tight end.

Barnett broke Reggie White’s career sacks record at Tennessee.

Maybe Barnett will win a championship with the Packers one day. I kid, I kid. Solid pick by the Eagles.

No quarterback for the Cardinals. The pick makes the Philadelphia crowd applaud, though, because Reddick is from Temple University.

From Temple walk-on to the 13th pick in the draft. Not too bad.

Huge get by the Texans when they have a playoff-quality team with only Tom Savage and Brandon Weeden on the roster.

There’s zero way to know if Watson will pan out in the NFL, as with all QBs, but he has a ton of upside and the Texans haven’t had a quarterback like that ... ever.

The Browns have made a trade of their No. 12 pick ... but it’s to the Texans, not Washington. So no Cousins deal. At least for now.

Cleveland gets the 25th overall pick AND Houston’s 2018 1st Round pick. Wow.

The Saints, desperate for defense, get one of the top cornerbacks in the draft. Now we see if Lattimore can get up to speed fast enough while Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson still have something left in the tank.

Alex Smith’s days are numbered in Kansas City.

Ross is the fastest guy in the draft. And, well, every draft ever. He ran a record 4.22 40 at the combine. With Tyler Boyd and Tyler Eifert, he gives Andy Dalton some impressive weapons.

Can Dalton utilize those weapons, though?
