1 1 Los Angles Rams from Tennessee Jared Goff  QB 6-4          215     4.82    California     

 

     Case Keenun becomes his mentor.  Over Wentz, because Goff is loaded and ready to roll, he is a now guy. Jeff Fisher, a personal fav, since his days as plucky can do D Back with USC and Bears, is now on the hot seat. Most NFL Coaches are hired to be fired at some point..

      Jared gives the Rams ticket cred in LA, besides quick strike capabilities that set Austin free, loosen up the Defensive’s grip on Gurley.  They can become a “Deer in the headlights” offense. These offenses cause Defense to pause, or take a false step, at that point they are ripe for the taking. The Rams return home to LA, (I still have my 1965 vintage kids football hamlet) with Terrific Defense and a developing “Deer in the headlights “ offense. Jared has that pocket sense of the stars, where can make a small move in pocket and avoid being crushed.

 

 

2 2  Philadelphia from Cleveland Carson Wentz     QB 6-5 ¼           2374.77   North Dakota St

       Doug Pederson the Head Coach once a small college QB, at N Iowa, Trades up gets the guy he understands, building a successful future together.  My concern is the fresh face kid learning, in front of the rabid Eagle fans.  His resolve will tested early,any faults magnified, hopefully he they will hang on to Sam Bradford, he gets hurt (very sad his body slamming him so many times) Carson at least enters a hero. 

 

 

3 3 San Diego  DeForest Buckner DE      6-7 ¼         286   5.05 Oregon

     The Chargers defense was poor, DeForrest is not as highly rated, but demand for his services are high, and he fills a position of need. .  You can’t teach his size, movement skills and flat potential.

 

.

4 4 Dallas Ezekiel Elliott      RB 5-11 ¾     228     4.47    Ohio St

     Zeke gives the Cowboys, an elite RB, Cowboys with a Elite Back, the playoffs without 4th overall pick.   A state of the art offensive line combined with a Elite Back, An aging Mcfadden is a super change of pace.  In an odd twist, Zeke showed some Offensive Coordinator Skills in 15.  Great backs have the numbers, but Zeke has got big heart.

    Jalen Ramsey would give the DB’s some elite talent,  Bosa would fit like a glove.

   A trade up for A great guy Carson Wentz terrific prospect, I'm getting a Later Day Craig Morton Vibe. The Cowboys have a history of getting non- 1st Round QB talent.  In fact, minus a web, ok did Wikipedia, and yes Craig Morton is there only 1st Round QB.  So proud, as my aging brian turns more to mush, by the second, I nailed the Craig being the only 1st Round pick QB. Carson has Craig's size, arm and character, Carson is faster.  And if he is avaible in 2nd Round or a trade to glory later in the 1st round..

 

5 5 JacksonvilleLaremyTunsil  OT 6-5 ½  314   Mississippi                                               

       Bortles has to be experiencing a minor of form of PTSD.  Of course comparing playing QB behind a under-performing offense line, and combat are at best weak.

But just the same there have been numerous QB with great potential, beaten to point of excess happy feet to wincing at the site of Defender.  Usually these are Talented QB’s drafted high by building teams, unable to protect the fledgling QB adequately, thrown into action, to satisfy a shaky fan base’s need for a messianic figure to lead the team out the dark world of losing NFL Teams. 

 

6 6  SanFransciscoRonnie Stanley      OT 6-5 ¾   319   ND
     Actually a Stanley at each O Tackle Spot, unless Anthony Davis returns and

 

               

7 7 Baltimore (with good health of 2015 IR members , an Adequate team,) San Francisco   
Joey Bosa     6-5 ¾             274     DE 4.80         Ohio St

Can work the outside backer, either edge rusher, or  fine run support.  Suggs and Dummervill aging.


8 8 Cleveland from Philadelphia from Miami -

Jalen Ramsey          6-1      209     DB 4.41         Florida St

A steal at this point, Elite DB, can cover Inside or outside. Can play Safety and Corner, a player who can elevate the whole team.


9 9 Tampa Bay Leonard Floyd LB 6-5 ¾   248   4.60  Georgia

An elite talent and Size for a Backer slot. Can drop down be 3rd down rush end.  TB gottalotta young talent.  Myles Jack, maybe, But Leonard in his Georgia career, has made many highlight wow play. The Bucs are one of those teams, that just go out and play, a zen team. The team will be in a year or so, when thought is required, can they still react.  Often young defenses are awesome, when calls are right, but when you tie up the young mind.     An enigma edge Rusher.

10 10 New York Giants Vernon  Hargreaves         CB 5-10 ½ 207   Florida
could be the healthy shutdown cornerthe Giants have needed.

11 11 Chicago  Laquon Treadwell            WR Mississippi

Field fast WR, all the right moves, will supply depth, in his apprentice phase.  White and Treadwell, could allow the release of Jeffries, (when it’s time), continue one the NFL’s most underrated WR crews.

 

12 12 New Orleans Robert Nkemdiche           DT 6-4     296           Mississippi

 

The Saints call everybody else bluff, and draft this freak talent.  Sterotyping beyond belief, being honored to know some Niegerian families, I believe Robert when he says, " he embarrassed his family for the last time .  It takes a great deal of work and pride, to be that talented.  Sean Payton has been a Father Flanigan, getting the most from some head cases. Just have Robert in the same line of Cameron Jordan, should be the wake up call. 

 

13 13 Miami from Philadelphia  Eli Apple               6-1      204     4.40   Ohio St

The interior of Dolphins Offensive line just missed the mark 2015.  Ryan along with a healthy Mike Pouncey, give some legs to it’s inside running game.  Sometimes you just throw resources at problem, works sometimes for the Government.

 

14 14 Oakland   Myles Jack         6-1                  243           LB             UCLA

A Safety/Backer Hybred, just way to talented to pass on. Knee issues, when healthy a difference maker, worth the shot.


15 15 Tennessee from  Los Angeles 
Jack Conklin OT      6-6      310     5.03    Michigan St

Can play inside or out, rock solid guy, lineman. My favorite player in the draft, my favorites usually end up( in my Mocking Drafts) going to Bengals, but.. These guy brings American can do and grit to the table. Former college walk-on, to 1DC.

LaremyTunsil           Great Picks, never happen.  He would have covered Marcus's blind size, gives the QB an extra second to look down field, and improve that league's worst deep pass completion rate,among the 35 most used QB.  Laremy, a name out Wyoming, stays low, moves well, uses hands well, run blocking will come ?, even if it doesn't, he can matadore, till he becomes the bull.



 

16 16 DetroitReggie Ragland        LB 6-1 ¾        248     4.72   

Can always use a Stud Backer from Bama,  Reggie can be the situational apprentice, year one, then step up in 2nd season. Maybe 1st seasonas Tulloch is all but released.

17 17 Atlanta
Andrew Billings DT

 Can never have enough effective Lineman. Super strong, but can move. Horribly enough, these guys tend to underachieve in Atlanta.  These kids, get lost in the shuffle of different coaches, every couple years. 

18 18 Indianapolis
Ryan Kelly OC Alabama
Really rolled thru the centers, the last couple years, Ryan give a solid option, plus the Guards spots could use some help.  Ryan gives the Interior line a boost.

19 19 Buffalo
A'ShawnRobinson  6-4      312     5.20   Alabama
Marcel Dareus and A’shawn give the Bills, Bama on the Erie Defensive Front.

Can you ever have enough QB Prospects

 

21 21 WashingtonCorey Coleman  WR  5-10 ½                 193           4.39                                      

Can you have enough Receivers, especially with Garcon and Jackson, closing in on contracts end

 

22 22 Houston Will Fuller          6-0 ½            192           4.32         Notre Dame                            

          Texan need a speed guy, to take the top of Defense.  You got Hopkins doubled, a flash like Will, can be Ostweiler good friend

 

23 23 Minnesota Emmanuel Ogbeh                 6-4 ½      277  4.63   Oklahoma St                      

        Super Raw talented DE to add to the rotation

 

24 24 Cincinnati Vernon Butler                        6-4            327           Louisiana Tech                    A

               

My Favorite D Tackle to one of my favorite teams, objective ?


25 25 Pittsburgh
Darron Lee           6-1 ¼             236     4.47   Ohio St
       A raw talent off the edge, a Shazier type talent,Either a Pro Bowl missile or an ansawer to trivia question.


26 26 Seattle
Jason Spriggs    6-5 ¾   301      4.94     Indiana

       A Former TE, who has stepped up big against some quality opponents.  A great talent, who still gets taught a lesson now and then, but he has good learning curve. Coach Cable will coach him, the only voice he will hear will be Coach Cable. Another Seahawk steal

 

27 27 Green Bay William Jackson                  6-0 ¼      186           4.37                                      Houston

        The Packer’s Cornerback apprentice program
        The Packs get quality CB young, uses them for 4 years, then they go elsewhere

 

28 28 Kansas City Jarran Reed 6-3 ½            310           5.21          Alabama                            A

 


29 29 Arizona 
GermainIfedi         6-5 ¾ 324     5.27   Texas A&M
DJ Humpries or Ifedi give a terrific competition at the R Tackle spot, also can slide inside to provide depth. 

 

30 30 Carolina   Shaq Lawson   6-2 ¾            273           4.70  Clemson                                               

Another Ace to add to lethal pass rush.

31 31  San Francisco from Denver  (Kaepernick)

Josh Doctson  6-2 ½   204      4.50     TCU

      Patterns, Body Control, maybe best WR in 2016 by far…
