2-14-16
1       TITANS                  Laremy
Tunsil             OT      Mississippi              Jr
Tennessee
drafted their franchise QB last year, so now they must protect him.
2       BROWNS               Paxton
Lynch               QB      Memphis                  Jr
Cleveland has
many needs, but after the disaster of Johnny Football, QB is the biggest need.
They still have
McCown as a 1-year stop gap, so Lynch can acclimate to the NFL.
3       CHARGERS           Ronnie
Stanley            OT      Notre Dame            Sr
San Diego needs
to protect their aging franchise QB. I also wouldn't be shocked to see them
draft a QB
themselves.
4       COWBOYS             Carson
Wentz              QB      North Dakota State        Sr
Dallas simply
can't depend on Romo anymore. They coached Wentz at the Senior Bowl,
so this a
little tea leave reading.
5       JAGUARS               Jalen
Ramsey               DS      Florida State           Jr
Jacksonville
has a huge need in the secondary, and Ramsey can be an all-pro as a corner or
safety.
6       RAVENS                 Joey
Bosa                       DE      Ohio State                Jr
Ozzie Smith
patiently waits, and the best player on the board falls in their laps at #6.
7       49ERS                     Laquon
Treadwell     WR     Mississippi              Jr
The 49ers need
offensive playmakers for their new Chip Kelly led offense. Treadwell is easily
my top wide
receiver.
8       DOLPHINS            Myles Jack                     OLB   UCLA                          Jr
Miami adds a
defensive dynamo with Jack. He is coming off a knee injury, but should be ok
for camp.
9       BUCCS                     Vernon
Hargreaves, III       CB                                Florida    Jr
Tampa Bay
upgrades their secondary with one of the best pure cover corners. Some will
knock
him because of
his height, but they would be fools to do so.
10    GIANTS                  DeForest
Buckner     DE      Oregon                      Sr
The Giants need
help on the edge, and Buckner is the highest rated player on the board.
11    BEARS                    Noah Spence                DE      Eastern Kentucky           Sr
Spence may be
the best pure pass rusher in the draft. He completely dominated the
Senior Bowl. If
Chicago is comfortable with his off-field stuff, he is the slam dunk pick.
12    SAINTS                  Mackensie
Alexander          CB                                Clemson rSo
Brandon Browner
was one of the worst corners in the league a year ago. With Spence and
Treadwell
off the board,
I think Alexander is the pick.
13    EAGLES                 Jared
Goff                       QB      Cal                                Jr
The Eagles need
a franchise QB, and Goff is the top one left. They could also go with an edge
player
if they aren't
comfortable with Goff.
14    RAIDERS               Jason
Spriggs               OT      Indiana                      Sr
In my first
surprise pick in round one, I think Oakland will love the athleticism of
Spriggs, and take
him over some
higher ranked tackles.
15    RAMS                      Connor
Cook                QB      Michigan State      Sr
I don't know
how the Rams feel about Cook, but I know they need a QB.
16    LIONS                     Sheldon
Rankins        DT      Louisville                 Sr
After
dominating Senior Bowl week, Detroit takes a pass rushing defensive tackle to
fill the hole
they didn't
fill after the departures of Suh and Fairley.
17    FALCONS              Darron
Lee                    OLB   Ohio State                Jr
Atlanta drafts
a plug and play 3-down backer.
18    COLTS                     Jack
Conklin                 OT      Michigan State      Jr
Indianapolis
has to protect the franchise. Their offensive line play last year was abysmal.
19    BILLS                      Robert
Nkemdiche   DT      Mississippi              Jr
Character
concerns pushed Nkemdiche down this far, but Rex Ryan doesn't ever seem to be
bothered by
such things.
20    JETS                         Reggie
Ragland           ILB     Alabama                   Sr
Ragland can
play all four linebacker positions for the Jets defense.
21    REDSKINS            Andrew
Billings         DT      Baylor                        Jr
Terrance
Knighton is an UFA, so Washington replaces him at nose with Billings.
22    TEXANS                 Christian
Hackenberg         QB                                Penn State      Jr
The Texans need
a QB and Bill O' Brien recruited Hackenberg to PSU.
23    VIKINGS                Taylor
Decker             OT      Ohio State                Sr
Minnesota has
to do something about their turnstile-esque tackle position.
24    BENGALS              Jaylon
Smith                 OLB   Notre Dame            Jr
Cincinnati has
to get more athletic at the linebacker position. They have also drafted well
enough
the last couple
of years to be able to "redshirt" players. Smith tore his ACL in the
Irish's bowl game.
25    STEELERS            Kendall Fuller              CB      Virginia
Tech         Jr
Fuller would
have gone higher if not for a knee injury early last season.
26    SEAHAWKS         Michael
Thomas        WR     Ohio State                Jr
Seattle needs
to add more offensive playmakers.
27    PACKERS              Jarran
Reed                   DT      Alabama                   Sr
Reed is an
athletic player for his size. He can set the edge in the run game and offer a
little pass rush.
28    CHIEFS                   Vadal
Alexander         OG      LSU                              Sr
If the Chiefs
let Jeff Allen go in free agency, Alexander can plug in at left guard. He can
also spot start
at OT.
29    CARDINALS         Emmanuel
Ogbah      OLB   Oklahoma State    Jr
Ogbah will
provide Arizona with some help rushing the QB. They could also look at the
O-line here.
30    PANTHERS          Ezekiel
Elliott              RB      Ohio State                Jr
In a surprise
pick, Carolina opts to add a RB. They could save some money by releasing
Johnathan
Stewart, and
add a much younger, well rounded back in Elliot.
31    BRONCOS              Shaq
Lawson               DE      Clemson                    Jr
Malik Jackson
and Derek Wolfe are both UFA, so they will likely need to replace one or both.      Lawson has the frame to add
more weight if necessary to play the position.
**     PATRIOTS FORFEITED THEIR 1ST ROUND PICK
