4.  Buffalo Bills  –  Sammy Watkins, WR – Clemson:  The Bills trade up for the top wide receiver in the draft in Watkins, and they get a good number one receiver.  However, they gave up another first round pick to get him, so that lowers the grade.  Grade:  B+

3.  Jacksonville Jaguars – Blake Bortles, QB – UCF:  The Jaguars needed a quarterback, and they took one in Bortles.  He will need time to develop, but a good pick for the Jags.  Grade:  B+      

2.  St. Louis Rams (from Washington) –  Greg Robinson, OT – Auburn:  The Rams might take the top offensive tackle on the board in Robinson.  Grade: A+      

1.  Houston Texans – Jadeveon Clowney, DE – South Carolina:   The Texans get the best pass rusher in the draft, and Clowney will be good for them for a long time.  Grade: A+
