KCCrow's 2016 7 Round Mock Draft

[kccrow 529]

Round 1

 

01. Tennessee Titans – Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi
The Titans reportedly like Jalen Ramsey a bunch, but taking a safety 1st overall would be a real head scratcher. I say safety because Ramsey struggled more than pundits are willing to admit when he moved out to the boundary in 2015. The long-term health of the franchise involves protecting its greatest asset, franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota, and general manager Jon Robinson has indicated as much. Drafting Tunsil will allow the Titans to slide Taylor Lewan to the right side and Jeremiah Poutasi inside to guard, which should give them one of the better offensive lines in the league with Chance Warmack (OG) and free agent acquisition Ben Jones (OC) filling out the interior.

02. Cleveland Browns – Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
I disagree about Wentz being a better pro prospect than Jared Goff, who I compare favorably to a young Aaron Rodgers. However, you never really know what the brass in Cleveland is thinking, and apparently they like Carson Wentz quite a bit more. There is no doubt in my mind that Wentz is worthy of top-10 consideration and the Browns desperately need to get a quarterback with a stable mindset that can propel their franchise to winning football games going forward.

03. San Diego Chargers – Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
There is no doubt about it, the Chargers desperately need help on the defensive side of the football. That being said, if this team wants to win football games they need to keep the face of their franchise, quarterback Phillip Rivers, off the grass. San Diego’s offensive line last season was atrocious and, due to injuries and horrible play, trotted out some 24 different offensive line combinations last season. They have to stop the bleeding up front if they want Rivers and running back Melvin Gordon, their 2015 first round pick, to have any hope.

04. Dallas Cowboys – Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
The Cowboys have a ton of issues at defensive end at the moment. They let Greg Hardy walk away because he can’t keep his head on straight, then they drafted Randy Gregory last season in the second round and he’s proven to be everything everyone was worried he’d be: unavailable. The good news for Dallas is that DeMarcus Lawrence stepped up with 8 sacks last season and looks like he can hold down one side of line. While Jalen Ramsey would be incredibly enticing here, the game is won and lost in the trenches and Jerry Jones subscribes to that theory. Bosa will bring a lunch-pail type work ethic to their defensive front and is extremely reliable. Bosa can defend the run and rush the passer well. The ‘Boys could actually end up with a formidable edge duo in 2016.

05. Jacksonville Jaguars – Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA
While the defensive front could get consideration here, the Jags already have a pretty stout front line after the addition of Malik Jackson at DT and Dante Fowler coming back at DE. Jalen Ramsey would also be enticing here, but the signing of Prince Amukamara at CB and Tashaun Gibson at FS one of the better safeties in the NFL in my opinion, make it seem unlikely. Jack will give the Jags an insanely athletic combination of linebackers with Telvin Smith on the opposite side. Paul Posluzny is already one of the best ILBs in the business, so Jacksonville’s defense could significantly improve. Jack is a sideline-to-sideline player that can cover anyone with a lunch-pail work ethic to boot.

06. Baltimore Ravens – Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State
There are teams that might jump on Ramsey earlier than I have him slotted here, but the truth is that Ramsey struggled out on the boundary much more than most pundits are willing to admit. I see Ramsey as a much better player with everything in front of him, where he can take advantage of his outstanding closing burst. That said, Baltimore really needs help on the outside and there is no doubt they’ll give Ramsey a look at cornerback first. If Ramsey doesn’t work out on the outside, Baltimore has a chance to get a potential Ed Reed type of player at safety here and there is no doubt that Ozzie will jump at that chance.

07. San Francisco 49ers – Jared Goff, QB, California
Nearly everyone on the planet knows that the 49ers need to move on from Colin Kaepernick and find a franchise signal caller for the future. The only problem is that their head coach might not be in that everyone. I’m going to reserve my opinions and thoughts on Chip Kelly and assume that the front office is smart enough to snag Goff here. That being said, Trent Balke loves him some Blaine Gabbert, so the jury is still out. Goff reminds me of a young Aaron Rodgers, and any other pick here would be foolish.

08. Philadelphia Eagles – Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State
There may not be a bigger hole on the roster in Philadelphia right now than there is at running back. While a quarterback of the future is definitely in line here, the Eagles have the chance to win right now in a mediocre division and already have a relatively solid QB on the roster in Sam Bradford. Elliott brings an elite running back resume with him to Philly with his advanced abilities as a blocker and receiver in addition to his prowess running the football. Elliott could be a 1,500 yard back in his first season.

09. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida
The Bucs could use a more talented and explosive edge rusher, but they also need someone that can cover a receiver. A washed-up Brent Grimes, who just signed with the Bucs, is probably their best cover-man and that speaks volumes. Hargreaves is a guy that would fit well in a zone defense with his closing burst and tenacity on the edge, plus he’s a good tackler from the corner spot. With the depth of talent on the defensive front, the Bucs can afford to wait on a pass rusher.

10. New York Giants – Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State
The Giants got a whole lot better on the defensive front with the signings of Olivier Vernon at DE and Damon Harrison at DT as well as in the backfield with the signing of Janoris Jenkins at CB. This leads me to believe that the G-men will look to add speed and talent up the middle of their defense early and often. No player represents speed-to-size better than Ohio State’s Darron Lee. Lee can play the weak side in New York, using his insane speed to play sideline-to-sideline and cover backs, tight ends, and even receivers underneath to hopefully help the league’s worst ranked passing defense in 2015.

11. Chicago Bears – DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
The Bears move to a 3-4 last season was a borderline disaster. After a fire sale of ho-hum talent this offseason, the Monsters of the Midway are beginning to look even more like the Care Bears on defense. Up first and foremost for Chicago will be not relying on Ego Ferguson and Cornelius Washington to be their starting defensive ends going into the season. Bucker provides the Bears with a solid run stopper and budding pass rusher on the outside, and if he at least lives up to his Calais Campbell comparisons he’ll be a huge addition to their defense.

12. New Orleans Saints – Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
The Saints weren’t very good in 2015 on their front line, boasting the 2nd worst defense against the rush and the 2nd worst against the pass with only the Giants saving them from being the league’s worst overall unit. A couple big reasons are that Kevin Williams is closing in on 40 years old (he’ll be 36 when the season starts) and John Jenkins moves like a sloth. They need a guy that can penetrate up front next to their star pass-rusher, Cameron Jordan. Rankins provides one of the best blends of athletic ability to push the pocket while still being able to hold the fort against the run and compares favorably to Carolina’s Kawaan Short.

13. Miami Dolphins – Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State
The Dolphins weren’t great against the pass last season and a big reason for that was terrible play from the corner position. The Dolphins already acquired Byron Maxwell in part of the trade that slid them from 8 to 13, but I don’t think they are going to be happy starting Jamar Taylor opposite him after their release of Brent Grimes. Apple provides a unique blend of size and athleticism that have NFL decision makers drooling over. Apple gives the Dolphins that longer CB on the outside that they normally covet. Apple defends the run very well and is aggressive with his press. The jury is out on Vance Joseph as a defensive coordinator, but his lineage suggest Apple will be a perfect fit.

14. Oakland Raiders – Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama
The Raiders signing of Curtis Lofton last offseason was an absolutely disaster and play from the inside has to improve. Malcolm Smith proved to be a good signing if he can stay on the weak side and recently signed Bruce Irvin should help on the strong side. Enter Reggie Ragland, who is an old-school, smash-mouth linebacker that should help the Raiders have a more reliable presence on the inside that will improve their overall run defense and leadership.

15. Los Angeles Rams – Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
It’s a quarterback driven league and the Rams are staring dead on at starting Case Keenum or Nick Foles at the position in 2016, neither of which present very satisfying potential, unless they can find a solution in the draft. While gaining a number one receiver here in Laquon Treadwell would be very enticing, they need someone to throw that number one the ball. Paxton Lynch has some flaws and will need a bit of work in his jump to the pros, but he offers first round traits and legitimate franchise potential. Lynch also possesses the type of athletic abilities that Jeff Fisher has went after in the past at the position.

16. Detroit Lions – Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi
The Lions lost Megatron to retirement this offseason, so they are going to need to find a replacement. Signing Marvin Jones away from Cincinnati provides the team with a nice second target, but he isn’t a primary receiver. Golden Tate was insanely productive a year ago, but does his best damage from the slot. If he’s there when Detroit selects, Treadwell will give them that true number one and a very complete passing attack for Matthew Stafford. Granted, the Lions need help in the trenches on both sides of the ball, but I can’t see them passing on Treadwell.

17. Atlanta Falcons – Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson
The Falcons can’t go into the future with Tysyn Jackson starting at defensive end. Atlanta must find a complimentary end piece to Vic Beasley and push Jackson inside to compete with Jonathan Babineaux. Lawson is an excellent run defender and solid pass rusher that should help shore up the Falcons middle-of-the-pack defense. Atlanta can address needs up the middle of their defensive later on in the draft.

18. Indianapolis Colts – Emmanuel Ogbah, DE/OLB, Oklahoma State
The Colts defense is an absolute mess and they could, theoretically, take a player at any position and see a huge improvement. They were 8th and 9th worst respectively against the run and pass last season and lost some of their best talent in free agency. All of that said, you have to start somewhere when building a defense from the ground up and the best place to start is with an edge rusher. Ogbah presents a unique blend of size, length, speed, and power and is beginning to put it all together with at 22.5 sacks in his last 26 games. The Colts will at least have a bookend for the ageless wonder, Robert Mathis.

19. Buffalo Bills – A’Shawn Robinson, DE/DT, Alabama
The Bills have to improve their defensive front over Jarius Wynn and Kyle Williams. Marcell Darius is great, but he can’t do it all by himself. If Rex Ryan has proved anything, he’s going to stack the trenches before he worries about improving the pass rush from the outside linebacker position. Robinson is one of the best all-around defensive lineman in this year’s draft and should provide the Bills with a steady 2-gap space eater and run stopper that can provide the occasional pass rush. Hopefully Robinson, along with Darius, can help fix the league’s 8th worst run defense in yards per carry (4.4), while helping to keep their outside pass rushers a little cleaner.

20. New York Jets – Noah Spence, DE/OLB, Western Kentucky
The Jets were solid both defensively and offensively in 2015, and if they can resign Ryan Fitzpatrick they have very few major holes to fill on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, however, the Jets have some major holes. The top priority for the Jets needs to be finding a dominate pass rusher to compliment a very solid Lorenzo Mauldin on the other side. Spence comes with some obvious baggage after getting booted from Ohio State, so teams will exercise major caution, but he also may be the best overall pass rusher in the draft. It will be difficult for teams to overlook Spence if he’s cleaned up as much as he said he has while at Western Kentucky. It might just be high time for the Jets to take a major chance on what could be a major player.

21. Washington Redskins – Andrew Billings, NT, Baylor
The Redskins are fortunate in that they don’t have too many major holes on the team, but what they do need are quite a few improvements. The one area they do have a need in is at nose tackle, since the team hasn’t re-signed Terrance Knighton to date. Billings has the makings of an All-Pro caliber nose tackle with a stout frame, good size and length for his height, outstanding power and drive, and tremendous closing speed. Billings is a high motor player that will keep offensive lineman busy the entire game.

22. Houston Texans – Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor
The Texans have a few holes along the offensive front, but those needs are on the interior where they can address them later on. The primary need for the Texans at this point is finding another explosive receiver outside of DeAndre Hopkins to keep teams honest. Coleman may be the most complete package when it comes to explosive receivers in this draft, and he can play on the outside or in the slot. If Jaelen Strong can develop into a nice outside threat, then having Coleman play the slot is all that much more of a bonus. Coleman would make newly acquired quarterback Brock Osweiler much more comfortable after leaving a quality stable of wide receivers behind in Denver.

23. Minnesota Vikings – Josh Doctson, WR, Texas Christian
The Vikings probably found a future star in Stefan Diggs last season, but he’s about all Teddy Bridgewater has to throw to right now. Don’t get me wrong, the Vikings have some decent complimentary pieces in tight end Kyle Rudolph and receiver Jairus Wright. However, Wright would be best served staying in the slot where he can maximize his skill set and Rudolph would be better as a complimentary tight end rather than an every down player trying to bust open the seams. All that said, Docston is probably the best receiver in the draft this year, but teams are scared of the offense he played in at TCU. Doctson runs well, he’s insanely quick, he’s got good size, but best of all he catches everything thrown his way. Doctson is, at worst, a prototypical possession receiver in this league and could end up being much more.

24. Cincinnati Bengals – Vonn Bell, SS, Ohio State
The Bengals are in an envious position of not having many glaring needs on the roster, but they haven’t re-signed Reggie Nelson yet so safety could be a big need for them. Bell is an outstanding athlete at safety and has shown outstanding ability as a single-high, man-cover safety that you can bring down one-on-one in the nickel. Bell has shown a knack for being a playmaker from the safety position with 8 interceptions over his last two years as a starter.

25. Pittsburgh Steelers – William Jackson III, CB, Houston
It is absolutely no secret that the Steelers are one of the NFL’s neediest teams when it comes to acquiring talent in their secondary. While acquiring a nose tackle will be high on Pittsburgh’s to-do list, they play many more snaps out of their nickle package. The only reasonable option at this slot outside of Jackson seems to be Louisiana Tech defensive lineman Vernon Butler. That said, Jackson fits everything the Steelers look for in a corner with excellent athleticism, length, and ball skills. I find it hard to believe Pittsburgh will pass on a boundary player once again.

26. Seattle Seahawks – Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State
It was borderline silliness that the Seahawks let Russel Okung go in free agency, further compounding their offensive line woes, so it’s absolutely imperative that Seattle gets a left tackle that can start from day one. The Seahawks did sign J’Marcus Webb and Bradley Sowell, but neither fit on the left side. In the end, the Seahawks get a relative bargain in Jack Conklin. There are legitimate concerns that Conklin can stay on the left side for the long haul, which is why I have him dropping, but he plays with a good base, has outstanding technique, and is always on target. Conklin should be able to keep Russell Wilson relatively clean from the blind side and has shown he’s extremely reliable, which will be a welcome addition over Okung’s injury history.

27. Green Bay Packers – Kevin Dodd, DE/OLB, Clemson
The Packers biggest need likely is at inside linebacker, but Ted Thompson usually isn’t the kind of guy that likes to reach just to fill a void. The defensive front is also a need, so guys like Vernon Butler and Kenny Clark will get consideration here. With Julius Peppers quickly declining, the Packers can’t expect to get much more out of his tank. The Packers have little else on the outside, so getting a pass rusher in now that can learn from Peppers and take some snaps from him is extremely important. Dodd is stout against the run and can bring pressure off the edge. While Dodd needs refinement, including his hand usage, he could turn out to be one of this draft’s more complete edge defenders.

28. Kansas City Chiefs – Vernon Butler, DE/DT, Louisiana Tech
The Chiefs likely hope one of the top cornerbacks fall to them, but it appears extremely unlikely given the number of teams with day one needs at the position. The Chiefs might end up having to wait until day two to address the boundary, and given they have Phillip Gaines returning from his ACL injury, they may just do so anyhow. The Chiefs did re-sign Jaye Howard on a two-year deal, but with Howard not signed for the long-term and Dontari Poe set to become a free agent in 2016, the Chiefs may just want to address their defensive front with an early pick. Butler is everything you look for in a defensive lineman for an odd front, with great mass throughout, great length, a big motor, lateral quickness, and a great closing burst. Many have compared Butler to the Jets’ Muhammad Wilkerson, and that type of player on an already formidable Chiefs’ front line would be a welcome addition.

29. Arizona Cardinals – Jarran Reed, DE/NT, Alabama
The Cardinals boasted one of the league’s best defenses a year ago, but they lack quality players next to Calais Cambell up front and age is a major concern with Frostee Rucker, Cory Redding, and Red Bryant. The Cards could definitely use a major upgrade over Cory Peters at nose tackle. Jarran Reed is an immovable object on the front line and is a prototypical run-stopping, space-eating, nose tackle. While Reed doesn’t offer much value on passing downs, he’s going to be one of those key cogs in a base front that will keep his linebackers clean and able to fill lanes.

30. Carolina Panthers – Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana
For a Super Bowl team the Panthers have some glaring needs on offense, and that starts at the tackle position. Michael Oher belongs at right tackle and Mike Remmers belongs on the bench as a swing reserve. That Panthers need to find a left tackle prospect so that they can make this switch and help keep Cam Newton from facing some of the pressure he saw in the big game. Spriggs may be the most athletic tackle prospect available this year overall and has the look of a franchise blind-side protector once he gains more strength for the pro game. The plus side for the Panthers is that they don’t need to rush Spriggs into action immediately, but I think they’d see a tremendous gain by doing so.

31. Denver Broncos – Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State
It’s no secret that the Broncos need a starting quarterback. The Broncos can’t conceivably come up with an excuse that there is any other position of greater need, or likely value, at the end of round one. Dak Prescott is the perfect type of quarterback for the Broncos because of his mobility and ability to throw on the run, staples of Kubiac’s offense. Prescott is one of the only quarterbacks in this year’s draft that passes the “Parcells Test” and, assuming he got at least a 26 on the Wonderlic, the “26-27-60 Rule.” Prescott could become a very good passer as he learns to read pro-style defenses and make more progressions in the NFL.

Prescott in the 1st?

Prescott in the 1st?

 

 

If Denver doesn't move up for Lynch, I think so. He checks quite a few boxes for Kubiac. He's extremely underrated as a passer in my opinion. Tim Tebow claims are very unwarranted.

[eraser 722]

Daniel Jeremiah had LA Rams taking Goff, and Paxton Lynch falling to the Broncos at 31. Miami CB Artie Burns went to KC three picks earlier. If that happens, I will be ticked off. I doubt the Lambs pass of Lynch, but if the Chiefs have a choice between Artie Burns and Paxton Lynch, I hope they don't go for that corner.

 

I'm not as sold on Vernon Butler as you are, but he wouldn't be horrible. I would be tempted to go with Alexander, in that scenario. Braxton Miller may be a good choice at 59. He is still raw at WR, but he definitely has some interesting characteristics. I like his three cone speed. This relates to quickness, mobility, and change of pace. Miller has great character, so I would not count him out even though his experience at WR is limited.

 

I hope the Chiefs get their 3rd round pick back. It would be a shame for them to lose that this year. I could see them taking a guard at that spot. However, you are right to leave it out.

 

For personal reasons, I would like the Chiefs to take Josh Forrest. His mom says he is being talked about going as high as the third round. That would be too high for me. I think he would be a good pick around 165 down. It is possible for him to fall entirely out of the draft, but after his improved 40 at the pro day, I think that is extremely unlikely. Most have him as a 6th rounder to early 7th round pick. Those were likely overly influenced by his poor performance at the combine, where he was sick with the flu.

Lynch didn't interview well. Teams reported that he struggled at the chalkboard, that his football knowledge sucked. I question whether he can learn an NFL offense, make reads, or adjustments. I am sure Dorsey had those same questions and brought him in to make sure. I would be upset with our first rounder being used on him. We have needs, and with the loss of our 3rd we don't have the luxury of wasting a 1 on a project. If we get the third back, then maybe.

 

Don't agree on Butler. He is Muhammad Wilkerson. Maybe even better. A rotation of Bailey, Butler, Poe, and Howard would be absolutely SICK. And, if Poe is not resigned, Butler takes his spot, or Howard's in a couple of years.

 

Having said all of that, I think it will again be a Corner, if there are any left by the time we pick. Apple, Jackson, Hargreaves, and Alexander could all be gone. Do we roll the dice on Burns? I hope not. I would rather wait until the second and take Baylor's Howard.
