The first round of the NFL draft is now in the book and we have 32 new players in the NFL, ready to make a difference. Two-sport star Kyler Murray went first overall to the Cardinals, who now have a decision to make regarding their current QB Josh Rosen. After Murray went #1, things kind of went as expected, except for the Steelers making a trade. The 49ers took Nick Bosa 2nd overall, which will greatly improve their defense, and the Jets took Quinnen Williams third, who could be the best player in the draft. Take look at the full first round below, as well as some fun awards from night 1.
Awards
- Best Pick: TIE – Nick Bosa, DE (49ers) & Quinnen Williams, DT (Jets)
- Best Name: Montez Sweat, EDGE (Washington)
- Head-scratcher: Daniel Jones, QB (Giants)
- Biggest Shock: The Patriots didn’t trade their pick.
- Funniest Moment: Every time Roger Goodell is booed!
