First Round

Redskins WR Julio Jones (1st overall) - Regardless of how the rest of the offseason plays out or the team's rookie class ratings, the selection of Jones might have taken the Redskins out of the gutter to a possible worst-to-first scenario. Once Randy Moss retired, this team, along with the Broncos, have usually trotted out the saddest group of WRs. Coupled with the trade with the Bills, the once impossible-looking dream of having formidable pass catchers was realized in less than 24 hours when they made their selection at the top of the 2014 NFL Draft. That defense has stayed stout, the starting OL is as good as anybody's, and the aging HB Kevin Jones still gets the job done, so why not the Redskins for NFC East champs, and why not Julio Jones for Offensive Rookie of the Year?

Browns HB Mark Ingram (16th overall) - This franchise has had just one HB that I would say was great for them, Rudi Johnson (recently retired as a Viking). Unfortunately, War decided after the inaugural season that he was going to pass 80% of the time (then Browns QB Aaron Rodgers led the league in passing for what seemed to be three or four seasons straight). More humiliating for Johnson was that the Browns next GM, stuntman, decided to bench Johnson for the younger Carl Stewart, and Johnson was never the full-time starter after S5, which was coincidentally Rodgers' final season as a Brown. Since then, Stewart and former Broncos 1st rounder LenDale White could not get it done, and the Browns offense crumbled without Johnson or Rodgers despite still having Top 5 WR Steve Smith. With the Browns resetting at the HB position (Roberts and Starks have 0 career carries despite being on the Browns for five combined seasons) and the interior OL, I think this fresh start might equate to the Browns having their first true franchise back.

Bengals DT Michael Brockers (27th overall) - After the defense was gutted from retirements in the later yazzy years, the Bengals D had a resurgent year carrying an inconsistent offense to the playoffs and a playoff win. If there's one weak link, it is the severely aging DT corps whose starters are 35 and 36 years old. I don't know if Brockers is going to start, but he's in as ideal of a situation as he could find himself in for both the present and future.

Honorable Mentions:
Packers DE Everson Griffen (7th overall)
Raiders MLB Lavonte David (12th overall)
Buccaneers QB Teddy Bridgewater (17th overall)
