Mock Draft 2016!
Order | Team | Player | Analysis |
1 | Rams(T) | Jared Goff (QB) | The Rams made a gigantic move trading all those picks away for the right to select a QB of the future. Goff makes the most sense as he is more pro ready. A California kid stays in California and helps the rams sell the new franchise. |
2 | Eagles(T) | Carson Wentz (QB) | I’m not sure what the eagles front office is thinking with this trade after they just paid Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel. You don’t make this move and select a postion player. They must be comforatbale with whichever QB the Rams don’t pick. |
3 | Chargers | Laremy Tunsil (OL) | San Diego is a big winner of the Rams trade in that they can now take the best non QB player. Tunsil is too good to pass up and a much needed blind side protector for Phillip Rivers. |
4 | Cowboys | Joey Bosa (DE) | Dallas needs pass rush. They are thankfully letting Greg Hardy sign elsewhere but need Bosa to replace his sack production. |
5 | Jaguars | Jalen Ramsey (CB) | Tough decision here between Ramsey and Miles Jack. However, the fact that the ballhawking DB isnt coming off of a knee injury makes him the smarter pick. |
6 | Ravens | Deforest Buckner (DE) | Wheter its playing inside or out Buckner is a big bodied physical defender in a smashmouth division. Could be the next Justin Tuck. |
7 | 49ers | Paxton Lynch (QB) | Huge reach on Lynch but quarterbacks always go higher than we expect and Chip Kelly will want a new QB to groom. |
8 | Browns(T) | Myles Jack (OLB) | Jack could easily have gone in the top 3-5, however worries over his knee cause a small drop. The Browns may easily trade out of this pick. |
9 | Buccaneers | Vernon Hargreaves (CB) | The Buccaneers are getting younger and more athletic in the defensive backfield plus defending a guy named Julio Jones is kind of important. |
10 | Giants | Ezekiel Elliott (RB) | Elliot would fare well not only in the Giants Backfield but in the bright lights of New York. |
11 | Bears | Leonard Floyd (OLB) | Lloyd has a tremendous celing if he puts on some weight. Potential all pro in the right system. |
12 | Saints | Sheldon Rankins (DL) | The Saints defense needs major upgrades at pretty much every level. Starting in the trenches is a good place to start. |
13 | Dolphins | Eli Apple (CB) | Miami needs help in the secondary and Apple is the kind of talent to be an all pro down the road. |
14 | Raiders | Darron Lee (OLB) | Adding Lee to an already imporved defense gives the raiders potentially the fastest linebacking core in the league. |
15 | Titans(T) | Ronnie Stanley (OL) | What a great trade for Tennessee. They trade all the way back to 15 and still end up with a blind side protector for Marcus mariota. |
16 | Lions | Laquon Treadwell (WR) | Losing Megatron wont hurt as bad with the addition of Treadwell. This pick maximizes the productivity of Matt Stafford and Golde Tate. |
17 | Falcons | Will Fuller (WR) | How tough will it be to defend the Falcons aeiral attach with the super speedy Fuller accoss from Julio Jones. |
18 | Colts | Jack Conklin (OL) | As Andrew Luck goes so do the colts. Keeping him upright and well as adding a road grader for the run game is smart business for this franchise. |
19 | Bills | Robert Nkemdiche (DL) | Doesn’t it just seem fitting picturing Nkenmdiche in a bills uniform with Rex Ryan as his coach? |
20 | Jets | William Jackson III (CB) | Potential long term replacement for Darrell Revis and a plug and play guy with great ball skills. |
21 | Redskins | Ryan Kelly (OL) | Somewhat of a reach for the skins but a smart play in Kelly who anchored the Champion Tide this last season. |
22 | Texans | Karl Joseph (S) | The Texans have some other needs but go with a playmaking safety in a interesting move. |
23 | Vikings | Michael Thomas (WR) | Another weapon for Teddy Bridgewater in the hope the offense become less one dementional. |
24 | Bengals | Josh Doctson (WR) | Andy Dalton will feel slightly better after this pick. He now has a another option opposite of A.J. Green. |
25 | Steelers | Reggie Ragland (ILB) | Ragland fits the mold of a steelers defender. Maybe not their top need but the best player available and will be solid additon for years to come. |
26 | Seahawks | Jarran Reed (DT) | When seattle has been great is when the D-line creates a pass rush. This pick helps solves that as well as the loss of Brandon Mebane. Could very easily see the Seahawsk trading back and out of the first round to gather more picks. |
27 | Packers | Taylor Decker (OL) | The health of the Packers O-line has really hurt them the last few season. Quaity depth is hugely important. |
28 | Chiefs | Corey Coleman (WR) | Coleman adds more explosiveness to the Chiefs passing attack. |
29 | Cardinals | Shaq Lawson (DE) | Even after adding Chandler Jones the Cardinals need more consistant pass rush. Lawson has a high ceiling. |
30 | Panthers | Derrick Henry (RB) | What a difficult matchup will this be defending Cam Newton and Derrick Henry down after down. Jonathan Stewart has also had issues staying healthy throughout his career. |
31 | Broncos | A’Shawn Robinson (DT) | The Broncos can pick the best player available. However, losing Malik Jackson will hurt less by adding Robinson to an already sturdy group. |
