Mock draft 2.0

[Verge]

Hopefully I will get pretty close to the actual results here.

 

1. Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, FST: Obvious pick, top five player in the draft and a franchise qb.

 

2. Titans - Marcus Mariota, QB, ORE: Another obvious pick, might go to a different team, but he will not move from the #2 slot.

 

3. Jaguars - Dante Fowler, DE, FLO: Fits perfectly into the defense as a DE and provides great pass rush.

 

4. Raiders - Kevin White, WR, WV: Athletic freak that gives Carr his weapon for the next decade.

 

5. Redskins - Randy Gregory, OLB, NEB: Best pass rusher on the board helps Redskins improve that atrocious D.

 

6. Jets - Vic Beasley, OLB, CLEM: Showed up big at the combine and is rewarded by becoming the centerpiece of an ultra talented defense.

 

7. Bears - Leonard Williams, DT, USC: Bears get him gift wrapped, fills a hole and is the best player left.

 

8. Falcons - Shane Ray, OLB, MISS: Falcons are thankful the Raiders skipped on a pass rusher and land an elite talent here.

 

9. Giants - Amari Cooper, WR, ALA: Giants take the BPA, and the belief around the league is that Cooper fills that role.

 

10. Rams - Brandon Scherff, G, IOW: Kicking Robinson out to tackle and this allows them to have a day one starter at guard. Blue chip prospect.

 

11. Vikings - Trae Waynes, CB, MST: Elite corner to pair with Rhodes and allows them to push Captain to a suited nickel role.

 

12. Browns - Danny Shelton, DT, WAS: Big guy on the d-line to help beef up an already strong D.

 

13. Saints - Bud Dupree, OLB, KEN: Might be the most talented pass rusher in the class, will ease him into the game ala Aldon smith.

 

14. Dolphins - Todd Gurley, RB, GEO: Ryan Tannehill would love a running back to take the pressure off of him, why not give him the best player on the board?

 

15. 49ers - DeVante Parker, WR, LOU: Best player on the board, gives Kap a young weapon, and fills a need.

 

16. Texans - Arik Armstead, DE, ORE: Pair him with Watt and Clowney, and suddenly Andrew Luck is shaking.

 

17. Chargers - Cameron Erving, G, FST: Protect Philip Rivers with the best interior lineman available, very underrated prospect.

 

18. Chiefs - Ereck Flowers, T, MIA: He falls a bit to 18 and the Chiefs run to the podium.

 

19. Browns - La'el Collins, T, LSU: Fills a need a right tackle and gives the Browns a solid line on both sides of the ball.

 

20. Eagles - Marcus Peters, CB, WAS: Hugely talented cover corner that fits the defensive scheme they are trying to go with.

 

21. Bengals - Malcom Brown, DT, TEX: Bengals need an inside presence and Brown gives them that as the best player on the board. 

 

22. Steelers - Landon Collins, S, ALA: Collins falls a bit and the Steelers are happy to take Troy's replacement and potential stud here.

 

23. Lions - Tevin Coleman, RB, IND: Lions need to pair someone with Bell, and keep pressure off Stafford, they take the best running back available and cruise to a top 10 offense.

 

24. Cardinals - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU: Replace Cromartie with a great corner prospect, fits right in with Peterson.

 

25. Panthers - Jaelen Strong, WR, ARST: Land a very solid #2 to pair with Benjamin and give Cam the help he so rightfully deserves.

 

26. Ravens - Eddie Goldman, DT, FST: They lost Ngata and fill his role with Goldman, not on the same level, but certainly fills a need.

 

27. Cowboys - Jordan Philips, DT, OKL: They don't have much going on with the interior line, and Philips gives them a day one starter.

 

28. Broncos - Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA: Needs to improve the middle of that 3-4 defense, fills a need and can start day one.

 

29. Colts - Melvin Gordon, RB, WIS: They were desperate enough to nab Trent Richardson, so why not nab the best runner available and a great value pick here, pair him with Frank Gore and let the good times role.

 

30. Packers - Benardrick McKinney, ILB, MST: Day one starter in the defense, very athletic for an ILB.

 

31. Saints - Maxx Williams, TE, MINN: Trade Jimmy Graham for Maxx Williams and about 100m in cap room. Dangerous threat and the best TE in the draft.

 

32. Patriots - Philip Dorsett, WR, MIA: Patriots need a guy who takes the top off the defense and this guy certainly does that very well.
