NFL draft Round 1 review, grades

Written by Teunis Felter

Round 1 is in the books, and it was quite an interesting chapter. Laremy Tunsil, arguably the draft’s top prospect in terms of pro potential, slid to the 13th overall pick after a Twitter post appeared on his account depicting the offensive tackle smoking from a bong while wearing a gas mask. Ole Miss had a rough night overall as Robert Nkemdiche, another uber-talented prospect, slipped all the way to No. 29 and the Arizona Cardinals. Trades reshaped the first round at lightning speed, as the Broncos traded up to select Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch late in the round. Meanwhile the San Francisco 49ers also traded back into the first round to take a guard most did not see as a first-round prospect.
