kccrow 529 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - QB Jameis Winston - Florida StateThey have to worry about winning, and Winston gives them the best chance to do that.2. Tennessee Titans - DL Leonard Williams - Southern CaliforniaI don't think the Titans will be as enamored with Mariota coming in to be a starter as they will be with Williams' insane potential to be a force on their defensive line. The cost for teams to move up to #2 is likely a little steep for Mariota, especially with the RG3 deal fresh in teams' minds.3. New York Jets (trade w/JAX) - QB Marcus Mariota - OregonThe Jets upgraded elsewhere, but they are staring down the barrel of having Geno Smith start and that isn't good. They pull off a small blockbuster to get a QB.4. Oakland Raiders - WR Amari Cooper - AlabamaThe Raiders might not historically be the NFL's best run franchise, but people fail to see just how good Reggie McKenzie drafts personnel. They won't go full stupid with this pick.5. Washington Redskins - EDGE Dante Fowler, Jr. - FloridaThe Redskins lost Brian Orakpo and have no real edge presence. They upgraded the DLine, so they have to get a disruptive presence behind them.6. Jacksonville Jaguars (trade w/NYJ) - EDGE Shane Ray - MissouriThe Jags have been searching for a complete edge player for years, time to get one.7. Chicago Bears - DL Danny Shelton - WashingtonThe Bears new 3-4 defense lacks pieces, so they better get crackin'. They added Pernell McPhee to play on the edge, and they have a disgruntled Jared Allen to presumably man the other, but they have nobody to really man the Nose.8. Atlanta Falcons - EDGE Vic Beasley - ClemsonAre the Falcons really going to rely on Adrian Claiborn and Tyson Jackson as their starting edge rushers? One would hope not.9. San Francisco 49ers (trade w/NYG) - WR Kevin White - West VirginiaThe 49ers need offensive wepaons and the Giants have so many holes on the back end of their defense that they need to trade out of the 9 spot and get more picks.10. St. Louis Rams - OL Brandon Scherff - IowaThe Rams have holes everywhere along their O-Line after cutting Scott Wells, Jake Long, and letting Barksdale walk. They have to start somewhere.11. New Orleans Saints (trade w/MIN) - EDGE Alvin Dupree - KentuckyThe Saints seem committed to fixing a terrible defense from a year ago and they need a reliable edge rusher opposite Galette, recently signed Spencer just won't cut it.12. Cleveland Browns - EDGE Randy Gregory - NebraskaCleveland addressed immediate needs at WR with the signings of Bowe and Hartline, so they can focus on making the team better. Gregory opposite Kruger will be tough for teams to defend.13. Minnesota Vikings (trade w/NO)- CB Trae Waynes - Michigan StateThe Vikings have some interior line holes to address and might want insurance for Matt Kalil, but those are addressable later. Also, they traded for Mike Wallace so WR isn't a must any longer. Meanwhile, they brought in 36 year old Terance Newman to play opposite Xavier Rhodes, which isn't acceptable.14. Miami Dolphins - WR DeVante Parker - LouisvilleThe Dolphins had a fire sale on receivers this year, but at least brought in Kenny Stills from New Orleans via trade. They need to add another weapon though.15. New York Giants (trade w/SF) - SS Landon Collins - AlabamaDo the Giants having a starting safety on the roster? This team is hurting for DBs overall. Getting Collins is a nice consolation prize after trading back.16. Houston Texans - CB Kevin Johnson - Wake ForestThe Texans have to think about the future, which leaves them a bit short at corner after 2015. Johnson is similar to current Texans starter Jonathan Joseph and can man the slot immediately.17. San Diego Chargers - RB Melvin Gordon - WisconsinThe Chargers need a RB, and while this class is deep, they can get the best one of the bunch and bolster a rushing attack that hasn't been the same since LT carried them to playoff victories.18. Carolina Panthers (trade w/KC) - OL Andrus Peat - StanfordThe Panthers absolutely must find protection for Cam Newton in 2015 and they very much have their choice of tackles at this point, but they'll get nervous about them running a gauntlet to 25 and the Chiefs are always a willing trade down partner at the middle section of the draft.19. Cleveland Browns - DT Malcolm Brown - TexasThe Browns run defense was offensive last season and a big reason was the falloff in play of Athyba Rubin with no rotational strength to offset it. They have to find a new nose tackle.20. Philadelphia Eagles - CB Byron Jones - ConnecticutChip Kelly might have went off the deep end this offseason (we'll have to see), but in the wake of it all he left the team with a bunch of holes to fill in the draft. The Eagles need help in the defensive backfield, even after their free agent signings because they cannot rely on Thurmond to be healthy all year.21. Cincinnati Bengals - OL Cameron Erving - Florida StateThe Bengals have a solid offensive line, but the one weak spot is center. This pick also covers for the possibility they want to draft Andrew Whitworth's replacement early.22. Pittsburgh Steelers - CB Marcus Peters - WashingtonDespite his problems, Peters won't be allowed to get away with arguing with coaches in Pittsburgh. He'd be going to a franchise that has taken in problem children in the past.23. Dallas Cowboys (trade w/DET) - RB Todd Gurley - GeorgiaAfter losing their start back to the rival Eagles in the offseason, the Cowboys must get that back to return to playoff form. Gurley would be the top back if not for the questions on when exactly he'll be ready to come back from his ACL rehab.24. Arizona Cardinals - CB Eric Rowe - UtahLosing Antonio Cromartie was a big deal for the Cards and its doubtful they want Jerraud Powers to be anything but a nickel.25. Kansas City Chiefs (trade w/CAR) - WR Phillip Dorsett - MiamiThe Chiefs need to continue to add playmakers at receiver and get a DeSean Jackson-like player here. While Green-Beckham could make some sense, he simply doesn't fit Alex Smith and the quick passing attack.26. Baltimore Ravens - WR Dorial Green-Beckham - MissouriThe Ravens will have to have done thorough homework on Green-Beckham, but there is some talent there. Green-Beckham needs work in life and work on his route running, but he'd go to a good situation with Steve Smith Sr. as a mentor and a chuck-it-up-there type of QB in Joe Flacco.27. Detroit Lions (trade w/DAL) - OL La'El Collins - Louisiana StateThe Lions need a starting left guard in the worst way and Collins can step in and be a high-level player immediately.28. Denver Broncos - OL Ereck Flowers - MiamiThe Broncos need an upgrade at right tackle to keep Peyton Manning upright all year. Flowers looks like a perfect fit for the position.29. Indianapolis Colts - DE Arik Armstead - OregonThe Colts had to sign Kendall Langford just to make sure they had something at the position, but they need a better starter and at least better depth. Armstead can be rotational year one and take over from there.30. Green Bay Packers - ILB Eric Kendricks - UCLAThe Packers absolutely must find a couple of inside linebackers and they have the opportunity to grab the most complete one in this draft in Kendricks. Maybe Clay Matthews can go back to doing what he does best, rush the passer.31. New Orleans Saints (f/ SEA) - TE Maxx Williams - MinnesotaThe Saints traded away Drew Brees' most reliable weapon, which is inexplicable. They need to get that intermediate passing weapon back.32. New England Patriots - DT Eddie Goldman - Florida StateThe Patriots need to add to their defensive line rotation after letting Wilfork go and Goldman has a similar skill set.Summary of trades:New York Jets trade 1(6), 2(37), 2016 2nd to the Jacksonville Jaguars for 1(3)San Francisco 49ers trade 1(15), 2(46), 3(79) to the New York Giants for 1(9), 3(74)New Orleans Saints trade 1(13), 3(78) to the Minnesota Vikings for 1(11), 4(110)Carolina Panthers trade 1(25), 3(89), 2016 5th to the Kansas City Chiefs for 1(18)Dallas Cowboys trade 1(27), 4(127), 2016 4th to the Detroit Lions for 1(23)New Orleans Saints received 1(31) from Seattle Seahawks for TE Jimmy Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Good work, Crow, but if Collins is on the board and the Chiefs take Dorsett, my TV will be in danger of a flying brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOMER 8 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Reggie McKenzie drafted DJ Hayden 12th overall. Just saying. ... we took Fisher at 1 though soooo :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,016 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Raiders are making good moves. Cooper makes them even better. They are going to be very solid. Carr, cooper, Murray. Murray is a freight train. Dude is going to be a force for sometime and a nightmare for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I agree with Jetlord. I don't view Dorsett as a good fit for the Chiefs, nor do I see him going that high. I would take La'El Collins before Dorsett. I would take Kendricks, Flowers, Goldman, and maybe even DGB before Dorsett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll find out next week!!! hahaha If I wasn't "off" I wouldn't ever be "on,." That has to suck man. I'm sorry dude... Good job with the mock. Very interesting ideas there. I like Dorsett better at #25 than #18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The Chiefs do need help at WR, but with what they're paying Maclin, I just don't think they'll spend a first round pick on one. I'm usually wrong. Trading down would be great if they can get the Kendricks/McKinny or even better, Collins or Flowers and have another third.

kccrow 529 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Lance Zierlein moved Dorsett up to pick 20 to the Iggles in his latest mock. No, he's not a phenomenal "scout," but he gets alot of exposure to scouts. Not only do I think he's going round 1, he might not be there in a trade down.

My wife said to mea little while ago, "we can go next week instead." No way, last year I was at Disney during the draft and my wife kept telling me to get off the phone.
