Article continues below ... Strengths: Accuracy, competiveness, and command of the offense. Gets the ball out quickly and decisively.
Weaknesses: Undersized. Elusiveness and mobility that was a plus in college might not translate to the NFL.
Fact: The former walk-on is the eighth player to win the Heisman Trophy and then be picked No. 1 in the proceeding draft. First since Cam Newton in 2012.
2. N.Y. Giants (3-13)
x-Saquon Barkley, 6-0, 233, Penn State
Strengths: Quick feet, sharp cuts, top-end speed, powerful lower body, solid pass catcher, willing blocker and, by all accounts, excellent work ethic.
Weaknesses: The one knock: He needs to use that power to run through more tacklers and push piles forward.
Fact: The first Penn State player to reach 3,000 yards rushing and 1 Authentic Randy Johnson Jersey ,000 yards receiving, and the 10th Nittany Lions running back to be selected in the first round of the NFL draft.
3. N.Y. Jets (5-11; from Indianapolis, 4-12)
x-Sam Darnold, 6-3, 220, USC
Strengths: Excellent arm, good size and can make accurate throws – or the occasional positive run – when the pocket breaks down. Works his progressions.
Fact: Darnold is the fifth USC quarterback to be drafted in the first round since 1970, and the second to go in the top five to the Jets. New York took Mark Sanchez No. 5 in 2009.
4. Cleveland (0-16; from Houston, 4-12)
x-Denzel Ward, 5-10, 196, Ohio State
Strengths: Blazing speed, physical for his size, and gets his hands on a lot of passes.
Weaknesses: Any issues stem from size and strength, neither of which is optimal but have hardly held him back.
Fact: Sat out Ohio State’s Cotton Bowl game against USC, a decision he made late into game preparation. Ward is the fourth Ohio State player taken in the top 10 of the draft in the last three seasons.
Strengths: Rushes with a good combination of power and speed, and varied moves. Holds his ground well against the run.
Weaknesses: Not quite the elite athleticism of a player such as Myles Garrett, which could limit his upside.
Fact: Wore No. 9 at N.C. State the last two seasons for former Wolfpack defensive end and No. 1 overall pick Mario Williams.
6. Indianapolis (4-12; from N.Y. Jets, 5-11)
Quenton Nelson, 6-5, 329, Notre Dame
Strengths: Maybe the most likely to succeed of any player in this draft class. Powerful, tenacious and sound.
Weaknesses: Not much to complain about. Could do better at getting off the line and getting to second level.
Fact: Nelson is the second Notre Dame offensive lineman taken in the top six in the past three seasons. Baltimore took tackle Ronnie Stanley at No. 6 in 2016.
7. Buffalo (9-7; from Tampa Bay 5-11)
Josh Allen, 6-5, 233, Wyoming
Strengths: Arm strength, athleticism, size. It’s all ideal.
Weaknesses: Accuracy and ability to change speed on his throws while still being on target.
Fact: Had no major college scholarship offers coming out of high school. Coached in college by the same head coach (Craig Bohl) and offensive coordinator (Brent Vigen) that Carson Wentz had at North Dakota State.
Weaknesses: The nits to pick: He is not an explosive hitter and maybe he could use a few extra pounds.
Fact: Returned four interceptions for touchdowns in his first two seasons at Alabama. The Crimson Tide has had a first-round pick in 10 straight seasons, second longest streak to Miami’s 14 from 1994-2008.
12. Tampa Bay (5-11; from Buffalo via Cincinnati, 7-9)
x-Vita Vea, 6-4, 347, Washington
Strengths: Athleticism and quickness for his size outstanding.
Weaknesses: Production and playmaking inconsistent.
Fact: Played some wildcat quarterback as a 270-pound high schooler in San Jose, California.
13. Washington (7-9)
x-Da’Ron Payne, 6-2, 311, Alabama
Strengths: Massive and powerful with quick hands. Run stuffer.
