CBS Sports: WAY TOO EARLY 1st ROUND MOCK

    1024 597 nofriendo

    1. Tennessee Titans: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
    Priority number one for the Titans should be to protect Marcus Mariota, something they have struggled to do consistently in 2015. Tunsil is arguably the most talented player in this year’s draft class and able to contribute from day one, pushing Taylor Lewan over to right tackle.

    2. Cleveland BrownsCarson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
    Hue Jackson has made it clear that the most important task for the Browns this off-season is to find a quarterback. And although Wentz lacks ideal experience coming from the FCS-level, he is the total package in terms of traits. With Josh McCown under contract for the 2016 season, Wentz won’t be pressed onto the field from day one.

    3. San Diego ChargersJoey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
    San Diego ranked near the bottom of the league in pass rush production in 2015 and need to address the position in the draft. Although some will say he belongs in a four-man front, Bosa is scheme versatile with skill-set and instincts to be a disruptive force from different spots on the defensive line.

    4. Dallas CowboysMyles Jack, LB, UCLA
    The Cowboys have been searching for an athletic and versatile linebacker in the draft the past few years and Jack fits the bill. He is outstanding in coverage with the range and instincts to step in and make an impact from day one.

    5. Jacksonville JaguarsJalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State
    The Jaguars have been searching for cornerback help for quite some time, but haven’t drafted the position in the first round since 1999. Ramsey has experience at safety and corner, but is better categorized as a versatile ballhawk.

    6. Baltimore RavensRonnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
    Baltimore inked Eugene Monroe to a lucrative extension, but he hasn’t been able to stay healthy, making it tough for the Ravens to rely on him to start 16 games in 2016. Stanley not only adds instant depth, but gives Baltimore a long-term plan at a position of need.

    7. San Francisco 49ersJared Goff, QB, California
    Many assume Chip Kelly desires a mobile quarterback, but the most important trait to run his offense is quick mental processor, which fits Goff, who also happens to be a native of the Bay area.

    8. Miami DolphinsNoah Spence, DE/OLB, Eastern Kentucky
    With Olivier Vernon set to hit free agency and Cameron Wake turning 34-years old last month, the Dolphins could be in the market for a pass rusher. No one knows how each team will view Spence’s off-field baggage, but on the field, he is worth a top-10 pick.

    9. Tampa Bay BuccaneersVernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida
    Tampa will address the cornerback position next off-season, either in free agency or the draft, possibly both. Hargreaves is a tough-minded, instinctive cover man who is ready to start from day one in the NFL.

    10. New York GiantsEzekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State
    Similar to the Rams last year, who drafted Todd Gurley 10th overall, the running back position isn’t the top need on the Giants’ roster. But it’s tough to pass on dynamic players who will impact the team from day one. And like Gurley this past season, Elliott would do just that in New York.

    11. Chicago BearsDeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
    This is a match that almost makes too much sense as the Bears need defensive end help for defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s 3-4 scheme. And Buckner has an ideal skill-set to be an impact player at the five-technique spot.

    12. New Orleans SaintsA’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama
    The Saints have several holes that need plugging on the defensive side of the ball, including up front on the defensive line. Robinson lacks dynamic production, but his traits fit the mold of a high-end NFL starter.

    13. Philadelphia EaglesPaxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
    With the Eagles begin a new era this off-season and, assuming they move on from Sam Bradford, need a fresh face at quarterback. Lynch is very young in quarterback years, but he checks several boxes to develop into a quality NFL starter.

    14. Oakland RaidersReggie Ragland, MLB, Alabama
    A player who hits anything that moves, Ragland is a tone-setting linebacker who can play all three downs and will give the Raiders another impact player in the front-seven.

    15. Los Angeles Rams Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
    The Rams haven’t had much luck drafting the wide receiver position in the early rounds over the last 15 years, but Treadwell could change that trend.

    16. Detroit LionsTaylor Decker, OT, Ohio State
    Decker is a plug-and-play option on the offensive line, which would address the Lions’ issues at right tackle. With Calvin Johnson possibly retiring, keep an eye on Laquon Treadwell to Detroit if he lasts this far.

    17. Atlanta FalconsShaq Lawson, DE, Clemson
    The Falcons drafted a Clemson pass rusher in the first round last year (Vic Beasley) and could go in that direction again this April. Lawson is an instinctive rusher who can also set the edge vs. the run.

    18. Indianapolis ColtsDarron Lee, LB, Ohio State
    The Colts need more speed on defense and Lee is one of the most athletic linebackers in this draft class. A high school quarterback, he is still developing his technique and discipline, but has high upside due to his natural athleticism and instincts.

    19. Buffalo BillsSheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
    The vaunted Buffalo defense looked mediocre at times this season with many claiming that Rex Ryan’s “scheme” was the issue. Rankins has ability that transcends schemes with his ability to stop the run and rush the passer.

    20. New York JetsLeonard Floyd, DE/OLB, Georgia
    The Jets have plenty of beef up front on defense, but need to add some sizzle on the edges to better put pressure on the pocket. Floyd is a lanky bender with pass rush upside.

    21. Washington RedskinsMackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson
    The Redskins have had good luck drafting cornerbacks out of Clemson (Bashaud Breeland) and if Alexander falls to No. 21, I don’t think he’ll be around at pick No. 22.

    22. Houston TexansConnor Cook, QB, Michigan State
    The Texans won the South Division with below average quarterback play and as Bill O’Brien enters year three as head coach, he needs to find a young passer to groom (and no, Tom Savage doesn’t count). Connor Cook has his issues and might not have a high ceiling, but he’s ready to start in the NFL now.

    23. Minnesota VikingsCody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State
    With glaring needs on the offensive line, is it too early to draft a guard? Not if the pick is Whitehair, who is this year’s version of Zack Martin and ready to start in the NFL today.

    24. Cincinnati BengalsBraxton Miller, WR, Ohio State
    With Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu set to hit free agency, the Bengals could have a need at receiver this off-season. A former quarterback, Miller, who grew up about an hour outside of Cincinnati, is still very raw as a wideout, but his special athleticism was on display at the Senior Bowl.

    25. Pittsburgh SteelersEli Apple, CB, Ohio State
    All 32 teams need cornerback help, but maybe none more than the Steelers. Apple tends to play too hands-on downfield, but for a 20-year old prospect, he has the size and speed to develop into an impact starter.

    26. Seattle SeahawksJack Conklin, OT, Michigan State
    Seattle has several question marks on the offensive line, including the future of Russell Okung who is in a contract year. Conklin isn’t the most athletic player, but he plays with patience and power to win the point of attack and control speed rushers.

    27. Green Bay PackersJarran Reed, DT, Alabama
    Even with Mike Daniels locked up long-term, Reed is worthy of this pick with his versatility that fits Green Bay’s odd front.

    28. Kansas City ChiefsJaylon Smith, LB, Notre Dame
    The Chiefs’ defense was a substantial reason for their playoff run last season, but might be forced to replace several impending free agents in the front-seven like Jaye HowardMike DeVito and Derrick Johnson. Smith’s future is up in the air during his recovery from knee surgery, but he could end up being a steal this late.

    New England Patriotsforfeited selection.

    29. Arizona CardinalsVonn Bell, DS, Ohio State
    The Cardinals need pass rush help, but with Rashad Johnson set to hit free agency and Tyrann Mathieu coming off an injury, Bell would help address a few questions in the secondary.

    30. Carolina PanthersKevin Dodd, DE, Clemson
    The Panthers need to upgrade the pass rush and add more talent on the edges this off-season. Dodd is still raw in areas, but routinely threatened the pocket this past season using athleticism and hustle.

    31. Denver BroncosRobert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss
    With Malik Jackson hitting free agency this off-season, the Broncos will be looking for new beef at the grocery store. Nkemdiche has his red flags, but he is one of the best talents in this draft class.
