A huge roar goes up around downtown Detroit as the Lions trade up from 29 to get the Dallas Cowboys' 24th pick.

They spend it on Terrion Arnold, another talented cornerback and another defensive player who could have easily gone in or around the top 10.

Dan Campbell's side were so close to making the Super Bowl last season, can Arnold improve their defence to help them go one better?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson on X: "Welcome Troy Fautanu to the Bergh! @Steelers"

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Brian Thomas Jr on Sky Sports: "Brian Thomas Jr is a very explosive, high-flying, wide receiver. A true vertical weapon."

It's a decent class of wide receivers this year and a vintage year for LSU wideouts as another goes in the first round in the form of Brian Thomas Jr.

He's a tall receiver who manages to get clear of defenders and is able to stretch the field with his pace. He's also got a large wingspan - pretty handy when needing to catch a ball.

Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell after being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles speaking to NFL Network about his college career at Toledo: "It gave me a lot of loyalty, a lot of love. I give my thanks to Toledo and thanks to God.

"I need to be coached hard, harder than ever."

On the inspiration of his mother and grandmother: "Two powerful women, they showed me love, I can't thank them enough. I'm speechless right now."

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Quinyon Mitchell on Sky Sports: "Quinyon Mitchell is a straight-A student when it comes to being an all-round player."

A nice twist to break things up as Philadelphia's Jordan Mailata announces their pick from his native Australia - where the NFL has just announce the opening of a new NFL Academy in September.

Back to Detroit though, where the Eagles have picked cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, who in any other year may well have been a top 10 pick.

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Chop Robinson on Sky Sports: "This is a fastball off the edge in Chop Robinson. He is fast. The Penn State athletes are all explosive. He's a little bit raw as a pass rusher, the destruction wasn't necessarily there but the disruption is. His name is Chop and ironically, he does have a bit of a choppy run."

The Dolphins get a pass rusher to add to the squad - and an explosive rusher at that with again a top defensive talent falling down the pecking order a bit after that QB fire sale earlier tonight.

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Trou Fautanu on Sky Sports: "I think he's got five-position flexibility. The Steelers announce him as a tackle and that is where I think he will be allowed to compete. Outstanding athleticism. They are going to have some fun using his very versatile skillset."

Steelers star Cameron Heyward announces their first selection of this year's draft, as they go for an offensive tackle for the second year running.

Troy Fautanu will slot into Mike Tomlin's squad as protection for Russell Wilson, who you presume will be the starter ahead of Justin Fields.

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Jared Verse on Sky Sports: "This is a physical, rugged, line rusher. He's a bully. He is going to test your brakes, he will test the brakes of offensive tackles for free. He also has the speed. A very rugged, physical football player. I'm a big fan of his game."

The Los Angeles Rams take their time as they're not used to making first-round picks - this is their first since selecting Jared Goff back in 2016.

And the Rams select a defensive player in the first round for the first time since 2014 when they took the recently retired legend Aaron Donald.

Jared Verse has some big shoes to fill but he wears big shoes and he puts his weight around on the field as a bully of an edge rusher.

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah on Amarius Mims on Sky Sports: "He is massive but not fat. He's got amazing speed, and amazing feet. When you talk to those down at Georgia, of all of the offensive talent they've had, he is the standout. He goes weeks and weeks without losing a one-on-one."

They grow them big in Georgia as another massive specimen enters the NFL, this time Amarius Mims is on to Cincinnati to protect Bengals superstar Joe Burrow.

Mims allowed 0 sacks on 377 pass blocks according to PFF so as another man mountain he's hard to shift.

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah on Sky Sports: "We still have three or four intriguing offensive tackles on the board."

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett on X: "Let's go!!!! Congrats Byron Murphy!!!!!"

Linebacker Dallas Turner speaking to NFL Network after being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings: "It means a lot. I really have a good feeling. I'm lost for words, I'm just blessed to be here. I wish my grandfather was here but I feel blessed."

Former Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah talking about Dallas Turner on Sky Sports: "This tells you what sort of night it has been. In my mind, Dallas Turner had already gone. That is a job well done for the Vikings. He's got rare arm length, he's got tremendous lateral range. He's able to hold his ground, take on blocks."

In a draft packed with offensive talent, linebacker Turner was perhaps THE outstanding defensive prospect.

The 21 year old has been a monster for the Alabama defence over the past three seasons with 120 tackles (33.5 for a loss) and 23.5 sacks.

Coming from the same Alabama footballing factory that produced last year’s Defensive Rookie of the Year - the Texans’ Will Anderson - Turner has plenty of the right grounding to be an NFL success.

However, NFL Network draft expert Daniel Jerermiah says Turner and Anderson “are not similar at all. Dallas has a little more juice in terms of his get-off and burst. It's pretty elite”.

The tenacious 6ft 4in pass rusher was a consensus All-American in college - NFL quarterbacks need to watch out.
