I thought it might be interesting to chart the top 10 draft picks from 2014-2018 to see if it can tell us something about which positions are the safest to address.
#1 Picks:
2014—Jadaveon Clowney, DE (HOU); 2015—-Jameis Winston, QB (TB); 2016—-Jared Goff, QB (LAR); 2017—-Myles Garrett, DE (CLE); 2018—-Baker Mayfield, QB (CLE).
Grades to date—-(my opinion):
Clowney: B+; Winston: C; Goff: B; Garrett: B+; Mayfield: C
#2 Picks:
2014—Greg Robinson, T (LAR); 2015—-Marcus Mariota, QB (TEN); 2016—-Carson Wentz (PHI); 2017—-Mitchell Trubisky, QB (CHI); 2018—Saquan Barkley, RB (NYG).
