PFF's 16 best picks of the draft

Pff analyst came up with his 16 best picks of the draft. "A number of elements can lead to a selection being deemed the “best” — team needs, fits, and value of the player at their given selection."

1. Jonathan Bullard, DE, Chicago Bears
2. Cody Whitehair, OG, Chicago Bears
3. Chris Jones, DT, Kansas City Chiefs
4. Joe Thuney, T/G, New England Patriots
5. Mackensie Alexander, CB, Minnesota Vikings
6. DeForest Buckner, DE, San Francisco 49ers
7. Jalen Ramsey, CB, Jacksonville Jaguars
8. Corey Coleman, WR, Cleveland Browns
9. Andrew Billings, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
10. Josh Doctson, WR, Washington Redskins
11. Scooby Wright III, LB, Cleveland Browns
12. Joe Schobert, LB, Cleveland Browns

13. Paul Perkins, RB, New York Giants

After a number of one-dimensional backs came off the board in the mid-rounds, Perkins had to wait all the way until the fifth round to hear his name called. No running back in the class is shiftier than the UCLA product and it bears out in the data. He led the entire country in elusive rating (114.7) and was fifth in tackles broken despite having only the 26th most carries nationally. He may not have the size to pound the rock 20+ times a game, but he’ll be extremely productive in a platoon role.

14. Jerell Adams, TE, New York Giants

Adams is one of two tight ends in this class that we saw as legitimate blocking and receiving threats (Hunter Henry being the other). Among Power-5 tight ends in the draft class, Adams had the highest run blocking grade and the fastest 40-time at the combine. He wasn’t utilized as a receiving threat much at South Carolina, but he when was he was superb. On only 28 catches, Adams broke 10 tackles.

15. Will Parks, S, Denver Broncos
16. Jared Goff, QB, Los Angeles Rams
