Eagles take Jelen Hurts with Wentz entering his 5th season. Interesting.

No. 53 pick Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts QB, Oklahoma
Quick thoughts: I watched Hurts across his whole career in college ball and he improved every year. This past year at Oklahoma he was a flat out great player. With that said, this pick showed me that the Eagles are concerned with Carson Wentz's injury history and want someone who can come in and play. Hurts will be able to do just that.

No. 55 pick Baltimore Ravens JK Dobbins RB, Ohio State
Quick thoughts: The team that set the NFL single season team rushing record adds a great running back to an already great running back room. I'm surprised that the Ravens picked a RB, but they are a pretty complete team as it is, so picking Dobbins certainly won't hurt them.

No. 59 pick New York Jets Denzel Mims WR, Baylor
Quick thoughts: Mims was one of the best players on the very good Baylor team last year and with the Jets needing a WR, this is a good pick.

No. 72 pick Arizona Cardinals Josh Jones T, Houston
Quick thoughts: He was one of the best offensive lineman in the AAC (and guarded Ed Oliver in practice) and the Cardinals get a FANTABULOUS value pick to protect their franchise QB Kyler Murray.

Surprised that Jake Fromm and/or Jacob Eason haven't been picked yet.

I just saw a note on Sports Illustrated that the father of the Buccaneers' pick at #45, Antoine Winfield Jr. once intercepted Tom Brady. It happened in 2001 when the son was only 3. Now the kid is going to be Brady's teammate. Irony at its best.

Pick No. 86 Zack Moss RB, Utah
Quick thoughts: Moss was a spectacular player at Utah and the Bills will be very happy to have him.

The Raiders have now taken three wide receivers within the first 81 picks of the Draft. Apparently, Gruden's plan is outscore the Chiefs.

Raiders just traded the 91st pick to the Patriots? QB here?

No. 92 pick Baltimore Ravens Devin Duvernay WR, Texas
Quick thoughts: Duvernay was a big time playmaker for the Longhorns and I expect him to see him be a big time playmaker for the Ravens. Great pick by the Ravens.

So far tonight, we've seen our run on RBs. And I think all of them will be good contributors.
