Here's the best case scenario:
1. Cleveland: Josh Allen
2. NYG/BUF: Sam Darnold
3. NYJ: Baker Mayfield
4. BUF/MIA: Josh Rosen
5.Denver can pick Barkley, Chubb, or Nelson
Simple answer, all the picks that are picked here work out as 7-12 year contributors who sign hometown discount contract renewals, and the rest of the players drafted just do not pan out for the rest of the league...
I think after a day of pondering this, I'd prefer to trade back a few spots to gain an additional 2nd round pick and either a future or additional pick this year. In this draft, there are 10 names I could live with as potential difference makers. Barkley, Nelson, Chubb, 3 QBs, Raquon Smith, Ward, Vea and a certain Bama DB. If we wanna improve now with a real difference maker, we need 1 of them. Moving to 12 and 22 is too far in my mind. There are some damn good players in round 2 for depth at the positions mentioned and WR.
So I guess...trade to 8. Add a 2nd rounder. Get Nelson, Smith or Vea.

I think there's a drop off from Chubb, Barkley, and Nelson to the other guys you mentioned. Im not even convinced Ward is the best CB prospect. If you're going to take him at 8, you might as well drop down and take Oliver. And I'd rather have a pass rusher far more than an ILB or CB. If the DT can get pressure up the middle on passing plays, that would also be ok. Vea did a lot of two gapping from what I'e seen so it's hard to know. Until I see otherwise, Hurst might be better in this regard.

At this point, I haven't seen many disagree with Ward as the consensus#1 CB. Obviously we won't really know for 3-5 years and perhaps the gap between he and the next guy may be miniscule...but he's expected to be the guy.
That said...Nelson, Smith and Vea are who I'd prefer at 8.
I'd be thrilled with Ward. I like the kid and he balls. Beef needs to update his mock so we draft him.
(after the top 3 talents)
