The pick which changes Madden the most is...
Kevin Groves: Philadelphia Eagles select North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz #2 overall. While the Eagles are still devoid of weapons, most notably wide receivers, it's the ripple effect that makes this the pick that most changes Madden. As soon as Wentz was selected, the rumblings from Sam Bradford's camp emerged. Not only did they re-sign Bradford to a two-year deal, but they gave career backup Chase Daniel a large contract for a backup. With three large QB contracts on the books, I'd imagine one of them will be moved before the summer.
Ben Vollmer: Kevin makes a great point. Wentz may be the only pick in the draft that could have an impact on an entire NFL roster. Looking a little deeper, I think Ezekiel Elliot has the size and speed to give the Cowboys the punch they'll need to win a weaker NFC East this year. Losing out on Murray left a running-back sized hole in their roster, and taking a chance on Elliot could make or break their season.
Chris Sanner: In terms of Madden -- very few picks in the first round are going to impact the core game THAT much this year. Assuming Bradford is the starter in Philly, Wentz will be seeing a lot of bench time, and Jared Goff isn't exactly going to change how you approach playing as the Rams. Ezekiel Elliott is a solid addition to Dallas -- and may be the biggest impact player given the Cowboys probably should rebound and be much better than 4-12 this year. I'm going to go a little off the beaten path and raise the possibility that you may find yourself enjoying rushing the passer with DeForest Buckner in San Francisco this year more than any other rookie experience.
Which team had the best draft?
Kevin Groves: The Jacksonville Jaguars are easily the sexy pick among football experts right now. While the offense had a resurgence in 2015 behind Blake Bortles and his young, talented wide receiver corp, it's their defense that needed upgrades across the board. Jalen Ramsey should be an immediate impact player at either corner or safety. As a Noles fan, I was enamored with his measurables despite inconsistent technique. If he can get that cleaned up, he could be mainstay in a defense that will also feature a now-healthy Dante Fowler (last year's third overall pick).
Ben Vollmer: There is little doubt the Jaguars had the best overall draft as they got two of the most respected defenders in the class. For a team that's already stocked with young talent, the Jaguars could be a popular pick for this year's Madden franchise. I also really like the Titans' draft. They traded down from the first overall pick (knowing they already had a future star in Mariota at QB), and got really nice value in both Conklin and Henry.
Chris Sanner: Jacksonville is everyone's pick, but Minnesota and Cincinnati both had good drafts as well with plenty of future starters potentially within the draft. The Vikings, in particular, filled a big need on offense with Laquon Treadwell, and Mackensie Alexander may be an immediate contributor on defense. And then there was the intriguing pick of German WR Moritz Boehringer, who is the first European player who didn't play NCAA Football drafted in the NFL.
Which team had the worst draft?
Kevin Groves: I'd say it's a toss-up right now between the Cowboys and the Jets. I think Ezekiel Elliot is going to be a good running back, but if you look at McFadden's production from last year and prorate it for actual snaps, you'll see he quietly had a solid season despite terrible QB play and a lack of big-play ability at the WR spot due to Dez Bryant's absence. With the #4 pick, I expected them to fill some holes on a defense that forced the lowest number of turnovers in NFL history. I believe the Jets reached in the second round with QB Christian Hackenberg. When the talent around him diminished after his freshman year, he noticeably regressed. Scouts were no doubt enamored with his strong arm, but his accuracy and pass completion percentage were far below average.
Ben Vollmer: Even as an Eagles fan, I really wonder if this was the year to move up and grab your "quarterback of the future." Wentz is going to be a question mark until we see him on the field, and even if he does turn into a stud, the Eagles gave up a LOT to get him. What will be really interesting to see is whether or not they deal Bradford to regain some of the value they lost. Past the Wentz pick, the Eagles are going to be looking for a running back, and Smallwood may be nothing more than a supplementary piece.
Chris Sanner: Philadelphia undoubtedly had the worst draft in my mind. They gave up a ton of future potential to grab Wentz, and they may be rewarded with losing Bradford in the process as well. Wentz has plenty of question marks around him as well. Draft day is about making your team better, and I'm not sure you can't just say Philadelphia is worse-off after the 2016 draft.
The pick we'll look back on in five years and consider it an absolute steal in value will be...
Kevin Groves: Despite major concerns about his knee, I truly believe that Myles Jack will make an instant impact once he takes the field. Equally stout against the run, rushing the pass and in coverage, Jack is the prototypical modern-day linebacker. With offenses utilizing space more now than ever, the need for special athletes on the defensive side of the ball is vital. If healthy, Jack will live up to the pre-injury hype that had him as a "can't miss prospect."
Ben Vollmer: Even with the concerns of past Alabama running backs having issues in the NFL, I don't think we've seen anything akin to the size and power of Derrick Henry in the last decade or so. Stopping him will be an absolute pain for defenses across the NFL.
Chris Sanner: Let me echo what Ben said. I've always been impressed with Derrick Henry's speed, size and strength. More than any other Alabama RB in the last decade, Henry is a physical specimen who presents problems for NFL defenses. Outside of that, Corey Coleman for the Browns and Laquon Treadwell for the Vikings are both huge future targets for their NFL QBs.
