Day 1 Analysis
Penei Sewell— No. 7, Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions selected Oregon’s star offensive tackle Penei Sewell with the No. 7 overall pick. Sewell is an elite presence on the field and will be used to protect the Lions new quarterback, former Cal star Jared Goff. Hard as it is to believe, Sewell gave up just one sack over 1,376 snaps in two seasons at Oregon. This marks the second straight year that Oregon football has seen a player taken in the top-10, with quarterback Justin Herbert going to the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 6 overall last year.
Congrats to OT1 Penei Sewell on being selected by the @Lions with the No. 7 overall pick. #GoDucks x #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/roY9T63YEb

Alijah Vera-Tucker — No. 14, New York Jets
The New York Jets traded up to take USC's Alijah Vera-Tucker with the No. 14 overall selection. Vera-Tucker is a force on the offensive line and will be tasked with protecting the Jets new quarterback, No. 2 overall selection Zach Wilson. This is the 2nd straight year a Trojans offensive lineman has gone in the 1st round, with the Miami Dolphins took Austin Jackson with the No. 18 pick last year.
THE PICK IS IN! @ALIJAHVT is drafted by the @nyjets as the 14th overall pick. #TrojanMade⚔️ #NFLDraft

Joe Tryon — No. 32, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Washington's Joe Tryon with the final pick of the first round. Tryon will be tasked with helping the Bucs defend their title. He should be up to the task. The outside linebacker recorded eight sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss in 2019, his last full season as a Husky.
Saved the best for last.
