Miesten Mid Tour kausi avattu hyisessä Vuosaaressa

Joukko Kankaisten Golfin mieskilpapelaajia lähti mittaamaan kevätkuntoaan Itä-Suomeen, Helsingin Vuosaari Golfiin.

Perinteisesti erittäin suosittuun Mid Tourin avausosakilpailuun pääsi mukaan hienosti kuusi Kankaisten Golfin aikuiskilpapelaajaa. Vuosaaressa viivalla olivat Mid Tourin puheenjohtaja Petri Ahokas , paluun Kankaisiin tehnyt Mika Brunou , Aurinko Golfista siirtynyt Mikko Forsman , kenttämestari Sami Lahti , seuravalmentaja, PGA Pro Marko Kallinen sekä aktivointitoimikunnastakin tuttu Jarkko Penttinen .

Peliolosuhteet olivat kentän kunnon osalta nähden erittäin oivalliset. Pelaajia kuitenkin haastoi kylmä ilma, räntäsade ja erityisesti sunnuntaina puhallellut erittäin voimakas, puuskainen tuuli.

Upeasti sijoituksen T10, tuloksella 152 (77+75, +8) avauskisassa napanneen Sami Lahden kommentit; Ihan ok peliä, ei yhtään missausta tiiltä, lähipeli hankalaa lauantaina, tänään sunnuntaina puttilinjat löytyivät paremmin. Rautojen lyöminen vielä aika hakusessa varsinkin pitkillä raudoilla. Kentän kunto täyttä timanttia näin huhtikuussa.

Jarkko Penttinen aloitti lauantaina väkevästi, tuloksella 76 mutta sunnuntain kierros meni migreenikohtauksen vuoksi pilalle. Muiden Kankaisten pelaajien osalta kohtalona oli karsiutuminen jatkosta ensimmäinen kierroksen jälkeen.

Miesten Mid Tourin pelit jatkuvat toukokuun 15.-16. Salon seudulla, Halikon Wiurilassa. Naisten kiertue Ladies Mid Tour käynnistyy Ruukki Golfissa samana viikonloppuna.

15 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions & Things to Do in Moscow

Written by Diana Bocco Updated Dec 23, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Moscow is one of Europe's most enigmatic destinations, home to a fascinating history and colorful, awe-inspiring architecture you won't find anywhere else in the world. Moscow might be one of the most populous cities in the world with over 11 million inhabitants, but this hasn't changed its strong cultural and social traditions.

Walk the cobblestone streets of the Red Square or the banks of the Moskva River early in the morning, and it's hard to tell what century you're in.

Tsarist architecture, must-see churches, and glamorous shopping opportunities blend together for a visual experience you won't forget. For ideas on what to see and do while visiting Russia, here's our list of top tourist attractions in Moscow.

1. Marvel at the Size of the Kremlin

2. catch a performance at the bolshoi theatre, 3. shop at the luxurious gum, 4. make your way into lenin's mausoleum, 5. spend an hour (or three) at red square, 6. discover history at the museum of cosmonautics, 7. ride the stunning moscow metro, 8. explore the moscow state integrated museum-reserve, 9. spend a rainy day at the tretyakov gallery, 10. walk up and down arbat street, 11. stop by the vdnkh all-russian exhibition centre, 12. wander around gorky park, where to stay in moscow for sightseeing, map of tourist attractions & things to do in moscow.

Moscow's most recognizable structure is without a doubt the Kremlin, a 15th-century fortified complex that covers an area of 275,000 square meters surrounded by walls built in the 1400s.

The Grand Kremlin Palace -which has over 700 rooms- was once home to the Tsar family and is now the official residence of the president of the Russian Federation, although most heads of state choose to reside elsewhere.

The massive complex also includes many other buildings, some of which are open to the public and can be visited regularly. Aside from three cathedrals (including one where the Tsars were once crowned) and a number of towers, the Kremlin is also home to the Armory building, a museum holding everything from the royal crown and imperial carriages to the ivory throne of Ivan the Terrible and Fabergé eggs.

The Bolshoi Theater is home to the largest and one of the oldest ballet and opera companies in the world . While the theater has undergone several major renovations over the past century-including a recent one in 2011 to restore some of the imperial architectural details-it still retains all of its Neoclassical grandeur.

The Bolshoi Theater you see today opened in 1824, after several older versions burned down. Inside, red velvet, a three-tiered crystal chandelier, and gilt moldings give the place a Byzantine-Renassaince grandiose feel like no other.

Catching a show from the resident ballet and opera troupes is a treat, as the theater often presents a number of classic performances, such as Tchaikovsky's Mazeppa and Rachmaninoff's Francesca da Rimini, both of which originally premiered here.

Moscow's oldest and most upscale shopping center is an architectural marvel. GUM (short for Glávnyj Universálnyj Magazín or "Main Universal Store") was built in the late 1800s in neo-Russian style to showcase a beautiful mix of a steel skeleton and 20,000 panels of glass forming an arched roof.

This was a unique construction at the time, since the glass had to be strong enough to support the snow-heavy Russian winters. The building is just as impressive outside, with all three levels covered in marble and granite.

While GUM is no longer the largest shopping center in Moscow, it's still by far the most beautiful. Home to brands like Gucci and Manolo Blahnik, this might not be the ideal destination for most budget-conscious visitors, but the beauty of the building itself is worth a visit.

On the third floor, there are also great dining options, including a Soviet-style canteen that serves traditional Russian food, and a stand selling ice cream made by hand using an original 1954 recipe originally approved by the Soviet government.

Lenin's Mausoleum, the final resting place of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, occupies a central spot in Red Square. His body has been in the mausoleum since his death in 1924-and although the original plan was for him to be buried after a short period of public display for mourning, the plan quickly changed.

After over 100,000 visited the tomb over a period of six weeks, it was decided that a new sarcophagus and a more permanent display space could actually preserve Lenin's body for much longer than expected-and Lenin's Mausoleum was built.

Over the years, the mausoleum and its marble stairs also became the main spot from where Soviet leaders would watch parades and events happening in Red Square.

Lenin's embalmed body can still be seen today, lying down in a bulletproof glass sarcophagus as if he's sleeping. While a visit to the mausoleum is certainly unusual, it has become a must-do for history buffs looking to understand how Lenin's legacy truly changed the nation. Come ready to wait, though -there are usually lines to get in.

All of Moscow's main streets start at Red Square, so it's easy to see why this is considered the heart of the city. A massive space of 330 meters by 70 meters, the square is flanked by the Kremlin, Lenin's Mausoleum, two cathedrals, and the State Historical Museum.

In 1945, a massive Victory Parade was held here to celebrate the defeat of Nazi Germany by the Soviet Armed Forces.

St. Basil's Cathedral , one of the most recognizable buildings on the square, was built in 1555. The unique cathedral has architectural details inspired by Byzantine and Asian design, as well as details that resemble those found in famous mosques. There are nine individual chapels inside the church, all decorated with colorful mural art.

Both the square itself and the Kremlin are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites . On weekends, there are sometimes stalls selling souvenirs and traditional items here, such as matryoshka (Russian nesting dolls), at the entrance of the square.

At one point, Russia and the US were toe-to-toe when it came to space exploration. While that might no longer be the case, the museum's amazing collection-which includes over 85,000 items-is still awe-inspiring.

Main exhibits include the space capsule used by Yuri Gagarin , the first human to travel into outer space; a USSR flag with moon fragments; a Soviet spacesuit; and a rocket propulsion unit from the 1960s. A special two-story hall showcases sections of the Mir space station interior, and there are also models of the first sputniks and a replica miniature spaceship.

English-language tours are available, and there's also a Cinema Hall showing subtitled short films about the history of space exploration programs and the first manned space flight.

The museum is located inside the base of the monument to the Conquerors of Space, which was built almost 20 years before the museum opened.

Riding the Moscow metro is an experience all in itself, but even just heading underground to walk through the stations is something no visitor should miss. With 223 stations and 12 metro lines crosscutting through Moscow, however, this can be tricky, so visiting at least a few of the most impressive ones is a good start.

Arbatskaya station was designed by a skyscraper architect, so it's no surprise that it features multicolored granite slabs and impressive bronze chandeliers.

Park Kultury station , located next to Gorky Park, is covered in marble and features reliefs of people involved in sports, while Teatralnaya station is decorated with porcelain figures dancing and wearing traditional Russian costumes.

The metro is open between 5:30am and 1:00am but it's very crowded in the early morning and after 4pm, so it's better to visit in the late morning or early afternoon to really appreciate the architecture without the crowds.

The Moscow State Integrated Art and Historical Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve is a cultural open-air museum complex comprised of four different historical sites.

The most important site, the Kolomenskoye Estate, was once the summer residence of Tsars as far back as the 14 th century. The complex, which covers almost 300 hectares, is home to fairy-tale wooden palaces; a tent-roof stone church built in the 1500s; a water tower; fort towers and structures; and the 24-room Museum of Wooden Architecture , which includes the restored dining room of Tsar Alexei I.

Beautiful manicured gardens , riverside picnic areas, and a massive collection of both artifacts and structures make this a great destination to help you see what medieval Russia looked like. English-language tours are available, but you're also free to wander the grounds on your own.

The largest collection of Russian art in the world sits here, with over 180,000 paintings, sculptures, and religious art dating back to over a millennia ago. The gallery, built using beautiful red and white colors from classical Russian architecture, is located near the Kremlin and it was built in the early 20 th century.

Significant art pieces include the Vladimir Mother of God; a Byzantine icon of the Virgin and child dating back to the 1100s; Andrei Rublev's The Trinity icon from the 15 th century; and several works by Ilya Repin, the most famous realist painter in Russia.

On the grounds of the museum, there is also an 86-meter-tall statue of Peter the Great, as well as a number of Socialist Realism sculptures.

Moscow's one-kilometer-long pedestrian street has been around since the 15 th century. Originally a trade route in the outskirts of the city, Arbat Street is now very centrally located, home to posh buildings and lots of places to eat and shop.

Beautiful street lamps and two significant statues-one of Princess Turandot (from Puccini's last opera) and one of Soviet-era poet Bulat Okudzhava-adorn the street, which fills up with both locals and tourists on evenings and weekends.

A great place to pick up souvenirs or sit down at an outdoor café, Arbat Street also offers a chance to visit the former home of poet Alexander Pushkin and the café both Anton Chekhov and Leo Tolstoy used to visit.

Although it was originally designed as a general-purpose trade show venue, this park complex now houses amusement rides , ice rinks , and a number of galleries and other attractions for all ages.

The park's most famous landmarks are the Moskvarium, a marine biology center home to over 8000 species of marine animals, the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, and a shopping center selling traditional products from former Soviet countries.

There's even a film museum showing Soviet cartoons or even a full-length film (for an extra fee) and an education center offering masterclasses on everything from becoming a barista to video montage (call or write in advance to find out which ones are English-friendly).

Soviet-era pavilions, sculptures, and fountains abound here as well, including the famous Friendship of the Peoples Fountain, which features statues of women dressed in costumes from different former Soviet countries.

Named after the famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky (who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times but never won it) and sitting right across the Moskva River, Gorky Park covers 120 hectares of beautiful ponds and green spaces.

Popular with both locals and tourists, the park offers a variety of things to enjoy-from sunbeds, hammocks, and drinking fountains to free yoga classes and children's playgrounds. There's free Wi-Fi and sockets for charging your phone, as well as many food stands and plenty of wild animals, including deer, rabbits, and pheasants.

Visitors can rent paddle boats and bicycles to explore the park-and from May to October, there is also an open-air movie theater, as well as scheduled presentations by street performers, musicians, and artists. Gorky Park attracts the young and old, so don't be surprised to see a mix of people exercising, playing chess, and sunbathing.

When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.

2024 NFL Mock Draft: Albert Breer Predicts the First Round

Our latest intel has at least five quarterbacks coming off the board, along with several receivers and offensive linemen among the 32 picks.

• Author: Albert Breer

Let me start here—I know there will be trades in the 2024 NFL draft.

There might be one for a quarterback early, with perhaps the Minnesota Vikings moving up. The middle of the round could see the Indianapolis Colts or Jacksonville Jaguars getting aggressive for offensive skill players . The back half of the first round will likely feature some jockeying for the top tackles, as the seven who are projected as likely first-rounders come off the board.

But for this exercise, I’m going to stay away from trades. When I looked at my top 11, I saw the likelihood that the Vikings might let the quarterback position come to them, rather than using their second first-round pick to make a big move up. And after that, it became easier just to leave everyone where they’re slotted.

So my apologies for that. Hopefully, I can make up for it with this year’s one-and-only mock from me. As always, come for the picks, but stay for the information in the blurbs, where I think you’ll learn a thing or two as to where each club is at with the season three months away …

1. Chicago Bears | Caleb Williams, QB, USC

Williams has been the presumptive No. 1 pick for a while and the Bears have treated him as such.

Jason Parkhurst-USA TODAY Sports

The Bears were smart about how they attacked this pick, getting way ahead on Williams. They had scouts ask USC, Oklahoma and Washington, D.C., guys about him at all-star games. They siphoned information from ex-USC assistant Kliff Kingsbury during an offensive coordinator interview. They had dinner with Williams’s team at the NFL scouting combine, spent extra time with him at his pro day, and separated him from the pack during his 30 visit. This pick has been determined for a while now.

2. Washington Commanders | Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU

This seems like another wire-to-wire deal. Early signs—the hire of Kingsbury, the signing of Marcus Mariota and the trade of Sam Howell— pointed to Daniels. The 30 visit with Michael Penix Jr., Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy might’ve thrown some folks off, but even at that one, I’ve heard he got a little more facetime than the 22 players who were there for it. With Daniels’s playstyle and experience (55 college starts), Washington should be able to get him up to speed quickly, and give the Commanders the kind of threat at quarterback that keeps defensive coaches like Dan Quinn awake at night. 

3. New England Patriots | Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina

I do think there was some debate about trading this pick, and some disagreement, and the Patriots having to work through that is new because the franchise doesn’t function as an autocracy in player acquisition anymore. In the end, Maye is the pick because New England needs a guy with a high ceiling for the next 10 years, rather than a more palatable answer for the next two. The challenge will be exhibiting patience as Maye develops, but the talent is very clearly there.

4. Arizona Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State 

It’s been a long road here for the NFL and Harrison, similar to Williams, where Harrison first showed the talent to go this high early in the fall of 2022. GM Monti Ossenfort is going to gather offers while he’s on the clock tonight. My guess is the chance to fill another premium position, like he did last year with Harrison’s old Buckeyes teammate Paris Johnson, is too much to pass on.

5. Los Angeles Chargers | JC Latham, OT, Alabama

I struggled big-time with this one. Everything in my gut said L.A. plays it safe and takes Notre Dame’s Joe Alt. But I’ve kept hearing over the past week that the Chargers see Latham at the same level as Alt, and how adding Latham (the superior run blocker) would fit Jim Harbaugh better and be a bit cleaner, in that he’s a right tackle and his selection would allow the team to leave left tackle Rashawn Slater in place. So Latham it is.

6. New York Giants | Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

Call this a hunch. The Giants just went through a tumultuous year. Malik Nabers is a great prospect, but has a reputation for being a little difficult to coach. Odunze, on the other hand, has A-plus character in the same way as his old teammate Trent McDuffie, and projects as a Davante Adams-type of receiver. So do the Giants take a swing on the hard-to-handle LSU receiver (they have some experience with that) or move down? I’m guessing the latter, and it may wind up being as part of a trade down, too.

7. Tennessee Titans | Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame 

Tennessee’s tempted by Nabers, but ultimately chooses the more sensible route, taking the left tackle. The Titans are another team that’s said to be hot on Latham, so if there aren’t trades at Nos. 5 and 7, I’d bet Alt and Latham—in one order or the other—wind up in those two spots.

8. Atlanta Falcons | Dallas Turner, OLB, Alabama 

Turner addresses a need for the Falcons and could be the first defender off the board in an offense-heavy draft.

Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports

This pick has been so out there that I almost don’t believe it’ll happen. But it was that way last year with Bijan Robinson and Atlanta, so I’ll roll with this one. I think Texas’s Byron Murphy II would be a consideration, but Turner fills the more immediate need. That said, I do think Nabers would be a possibility in this scenario.

9. Chicago Bears | Malik Nabers, WR, LSU 

Nabers is 100% the kind of receiver Ryan Poles loves , and Chicago has a receiver room with top-shelf pros in DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, to help absorb a bigger personality. I do think Turner and Murphy would be in play if they're available at 9, as would a couple of the tackles. But the opportunity to build aggressively around Williams such as the Chiefs did with a younger Patrick Mahomes, when Poles was in Kansas City, is too much to pass up.

10. New York Jets | Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State 

I know how many people are all over Brock Bowers in this spot. I’m just not. I think Odunze will tempt GM Joe Douglas here. But having two 33-year-old tackles is walking a tightrope with a quarterback coming off a torn Achilles. And the Penn State All-American gives them a safety net. Taliese Fuaga is enticing, too, in that he could play guard. But Fashanu’s high-end potential to be a long-term left tackle is too tempting, and the need is too great not to address here, especially with the Jets lacking a second-rounder. New York can find a solid skill guy in the third round in this draft.

11. Minnesota Vikings | J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan

Failing to land Maye, the Vikings call everyone’s bluff, and wind up with the draft’s fourth quarterback eight picks after the first run on the position concluded. I wouldn’t rule out a short move up the board just to protect against Denver leapfrogging them. Or even, say, packaging Nos. 11 and 23 to get Nos. 6 and 47 from the Giants. But if this happens? What a huge win it’d be for the Vikings, with the extra first-rounder acquired to engineer a trade up still intact.

12. Denver Broncos: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Denver may be in the market for a quarterback, but Bowers would give Sean Payton a matchup tight end talent right away.

Jake Crandall / USA TODAY NETWORK

I think Denver has flirted with going up for McCarthy or swallowing hard and drafting Bo Nix here. Being without a second-round pick certainly complicates the situation. But Bowers is a good get for Sean Payton, who has always thrived with matchup tight ends such as Jimmy Graham and Jeremy Shockey. I also wouldn’t rule out a tackle here if the right one falls who could take the place of Garett Bolles (whom the Broncos tried to trade him a couple of times last year) at left tackle.

13. Las Vegas Raiders | Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington 

The Raiders can get by for a year with Gardner Minshew, Aidan O’Connell and a solid group of offensive coaches managing the situation. But after what just happened in Las Vegas, it stands to reason that Antonio Pierce might push GM Tom Telesco not to wait and draft their quarterback of the future. And Penix has a lot of fans in the Raiders building.

14. New Orleans Saints | Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon State 

It sounds like the Saints are focused on getting the tackle position right here (with addressing corner as a likely backup plan), and Fuaga’s a clean prospect who can play inside or out. He could slot in as a guard to start if need be, and eventually displace one of the team’s incumbent tackles: Trevor Penning or Ryan Ramczyk.

15. Indianapolis Colts | Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo 

My sense is the Colts will try to trade up for one of the top three receivers or Bowers first, then perhaps settle on a defensive back. To that end, I initially had Alabama’s Terrion Arnold here. But a friend of Chris Ballard’s reminded me of how important traits are to the GM, and Arnold’s testing numbers were just so-so. So slot Mitchell in here, as the team looks to finally take care of a position that’s been unstable for a lot of years.

16. Seattle Seahawks | Jared Verse, DE, Florida State 

Verse is reminiscent of former Ravens star Terrell Suggs, and a clear fit for Mike Macdonald's scheme.

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

This could be Penix—if he slides down past the Raiders—with ex-Washington OC Ryan Grubb now working for Seattle’s big-league team. If that’s not on the table, I’d look for an interior offensive lineman, or a defensive piece fitting Mike Macdonald’s Ravens-style scheme. Iowa’s do-everything DB Cooper DeJean would be one logical pick. Verse, who has a Terrell Suggs-type playing style, would be another.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars | Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama  

The Jags have done all the work on the top skill players, but in this spot, with Bowers and the top three receivers gone, Arnold’s too good to pass on. A Nick Saban favorite, this is a guy picked right in the range he should be, and fills one of Jacksonville’s most pressing needs.

18. Cincinnati Bengals | Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas

Too easy. The need’s there, with D.J. Reader gone, and Sheldon Rankins as a stopgap. And looking at the tackles and receivers available here, landing Murphy stands up as a value play that also fills an existing hole on the roster.

19. Los Angeles Rams | Laiatu Latu, OLB, UCLA 

Nix’s name has come up here, and I like the idea of a succession plan in place at the position. But the needs on defense are stark, so I’d imagine getting a top-end pass rusher will be a priority. With Aaron Donald gone, Illinois 3-technique Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton would be a logical pick, but Latu has the higher ceiling. While his neck issue has him off some draft boards, Latu’s tape, according to most evaluators, is the best of any edge rusher in the class.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers | Graham Barton, C/G, Duke 

The Steelers have done a lot of work on receivers and offensive linemen, and they’ve always been able to find receivers later in the draft. I think their preference would be to find a tackle they really like, but Barton’s a good option if that guy isn’t there. He’s a premier interior guy who offers position flexibility and a mean streak.

21. Miami Dolphins | Troy Fautanu, OT/OG, Washington

I’ve heard Xavier Worthy here, and that’d be exciting. But they need Fautanu (even though he’s been flagged for a knee issue that could be a problem later in his career), who is a natural as a versatile, high-character player who should acclimate quickly to the pros.

22. Philadelphia Eagles | Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia 

Mims checks the box for the Eagles–Georgia connection and would give Philadelphia a steady run blocker.

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

I initially had Tyler Guyton here, but GM Howie Roseman’s Georgia “thing,” plus Mims standing out as a stronger run blocker, prompted me to flip my choice. I actually think the Eagles could get aggressive and move up for a higher-end tackle such as Fuaga. If it’s not a tackle, I’d say corner would be the best position to address in this spot.

23. Minnesota Vikings | Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson 

With quarterback addressed at 11, I’d expect Minnesota to go in hard on defense for the remainder of the draft, and DC Brian Flores covets top-end cover corners. If Wiggins can put on a little weight, and grow up a little, the talent is certainly there.

24. Dallas Cowboys | Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma

A premier pass-protecting talent who’s still ascending and needs to improve in the run game. But Dallas can take him and lean on its ability to develop linemen, and the culture it’s built in that room with Zack Martin, Tyler Smith and Terence Steele to help Guyton get his footing as a pro.

25. Green Bay Packers | Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton, DT, Illinois

If he’s recovered from a foot fracture, Newton will give Packer fans a lot to be excited about as an interior pressure player. Newton would be a nice complement to Rashan Gary along the Packers’ defensive front.

26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Chop Robinson, DE/OLB, Penn State 

The Buccaneers have needs at both edge and at corner, and it just so happens that a super athletic pass rusher is sitting there for them at the end of the first round to throw in the group with Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and Yaya Diaby.

27. Arizona Cardinals | Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama

McKinstry’s extremely talented but is another player who needs to mature and be consistent. Getting to go head-to-head with Harrison in practice every day probably wouldn’t hurt in helping McKinstry to get there in the weeks and months to come.

28. Buffalo Bills | Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU 

Thomas is an incredible athlete, and was off the charts his last year, catching 68 passes for 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns. But I think two things result in a little slide. One, his shoulders have been flagged by team doctors, and he may need surgery on the left one after his rookie year. Two, he’s simply pushed down a bit by the run on the tackles I’m projecting.

29. Detroit Lions | Darius Robinson, DE/DT, Missouri

The Lions have explored trading up, maybe for a corner. And maybe for an edge to play opposite of Aidan Hutchinson. In any case, the tough, rugged Robinson would be a really nice fit for what coach Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes have built in Detroit.

30. Baltimore Ravens | Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa 

DeJean would provide Baltimore with another versatile piece on defense alongside Kyle Hamilton.

George Walker IV / Tennessean.com / USA

As we said earlier, DeJean is a tremendous fit for the Baltimore scheme. Corner is on the radar for the Ravens, too, with McKinstry a consideration, as would a pass rusher (Robinson?) or receiver (one of the Texas guys?). There’s also a bit of a question on whether having DeJean and Kyle Hamilton might be redundant. Personally, I think Baltimore would be dangerous with both.

31. San Francisco 49ers | Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona 

Trent Williams isn’t getting any younger. So getting a young, talented tackle in the pipeline would be nice, with corner and pass rusher other considerations, as would be a receiver if the team could find someone to pay the freight to get Brandon Aiyuk (which probably became a little less likely after Amon-Ra St. Brown broke the bank with a four-year, $120 million extension).

32. Kansas City Chiefs | Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas 

I’m not sure Worthy will be available here. But if he is, and with Rashee Rice facing potential league discipline, I’d imagine it’d be tough for the Chiefs to pass on him, even with a crying need for a tackle (in this scenario, Andy Reid could try and get fellow BYU Cougar Kingsley Suamataia in the second round).
