    NFL MOCK DRAFT – 04/05/2016
    ROUND 1
    1. TENNESSEE TITANS

    (3-13)    		Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss: What’s to think this isn’t happening? They have to build the line in front of Marcus Mariota.
    2. CLEVELAND BROWNS

    (3-13)    		Jared Goff, QB, California: Sticking with it, even if most don’t think he will be the guy. I think Goff is the best of the quarterback class.
    3. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

    (4-12)    		DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon: They could look to get Jalen Ramsey in this spot. But I still think they need help on that defensive line.
    4. DALLAS COWBOYS

    (4-12)    		Jalen Ramsey, FS, Florida State: He could play corner for them, but could be a star safety. They need help at both spots.
    5. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

    (5-11)    		Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA: They need a game-changer on defense, and he will be that. He’s a three-down player, which coaches love.
    6. BALTIMORE RAVENS

    (5-11)    		Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State: They could fit him into their scheme like they did with Terrell Suggs back in the day. They need pass-rush help.
    7. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

    (5-11)    		Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State: I just don’t buy the hype about their current passers. This is a player Chip Kelly could build around.
    8. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

    (7-9)    		Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis: Some scouts like him more than Wentz and Goff. He is a big, athletic kid, and the Eagles need a quarterback for the long run.
    9. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

    (6-10)    		Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida: As much as they need edge-rush help, they also need corner help. Hargreaves excels in man coverage.
    10. NEW YORK GIANTS

    (6-10)    		Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State: They lack true speed at linebacker and this kid can fly. Steve Spagnuolo, the coordinator, will love his versatility.
    11. CHICAGO BEARS

    (6-10)    		Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame: When you can get a player of this talent level here at this spot, you take him. They could have a heck of a line next season.
    12. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

    (7-9)    		Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson: This is another team that must improve the pass rush. They have problems impacting the opposing quarterback.
    13. MIAMI DOLPHINS

    (6-10)    		Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State: They keep sniffing around veteran runners. Why not just land the best back in the draft?
    14. OAKLAND RAIDERS

    (7-9)    		Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State: They have to get better in the secondary. Adding Sean Smith will help. But they need more than just him.
    15. LOS ANGELES RAMS

    (7-9)    		Josh Doctson, WR, TCU: At some point, they need to get a playmaker at receiver. I always thought this was the best receiver in this class.
    16. DETROIT LIONS

    (7-9)    		Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State: They have to improve in front of Matt Stafford. Decker was a left tackle, but I think he could play all the line spots except center.
    17. ATLANTA FALCONS

    (8-8)    		Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville: They took Grady Jarrett last year, but they need more help inside. He could be an Aaron Donald-type player.
    18. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

    (8-8)    		Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson: Their pass rush isn’t very good. He really flashed last season and has the tools to play up or down.
    19. BUFFALO BILLS

    (8-8)    		Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky: They lost Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes didn’t play that well last season. Spence is a big-time rusher with off-field concerns.
    20. NEW YORK JETS

    (10-6)    		Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State: They might let D’Brickashaw Ferguson walk. This would make that decision easy to make.
    21. WASHINGTON REDSKINS

    (9-7)    		Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson: Their corner position isn’t very good. Alexander would be a nice man-cover player to add to their defense.
    22. HOUSTON TEXANS

    (9-7)    		A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama: Hey, they could always use help up front to go with J.J. Watt. Robinson is a big-body player who can anchor in against the run.
    23. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

    (11-5)    		Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss: His 40 time of 4.65 will hurt him, but he plays faster than that. Teddy Bridgewater would love this.
    24. CINCINNATI BENGALS

    (12-4)    		Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor: They need help and Coleman is a polished receiver. He would work well with A.J. Green.
    25. PITTSBURGH STEELERS

    (10-6)    		William Jackson III, CB, Houston: They have a huge hole on the corner, and Jackson is a heck of a player. This would buck a trend of not picking corners early.
    26. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

    (10-6)    		Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama: They lost Brandon Mebane, so they could use a good inside player. They say they like their offensive line, so let’s believe them.
    27. GREEN BAY PACKERS

    (10-6)    		Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor: With B.J. Raji retiring, I will stick a big body in this spot. They could also use an inside linebacker.
    28. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

    (11-5)    		*Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia: With Justin Houston coming off knee surgery and Tamba Hali getting up in the years, why not another pass rusher?
    29. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (FORFEITED PICK)

    (12-4)
    30. ARIZONA CARDINALS

    (13-3)    		Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama: They need a physical player in the middle of their line. This pick would complete the offense.
    31. CAROLINA PANTHERS

    (15-1)    		Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana: They have problems at tackle, and this is an athletic player who can move. We saw their tackle issues in the Super Bowl play out.
    32. DENVER BRONCOS

    (12-4)    		Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss: If they land Colin Kaepernick, which is looking like it’s possible, it would take them out of the quarterback market early in the draft. So I will give them a power defender to help offset the loss of Malik Jackson.
