Re: 2016 CBS/NFLdraftscout Big Board
Pick No. 1
TEN Laremy Tunsil OT Mississippi The Titans could really use an impact defensive player, but protecting Marcus Mariota is No. 1 on the to-do list. Pick No.2 CLE Carson Wentz QB North Dakota St. The Browns have no choice but to address the QB position and Wentz is built to play in the AFC North. Pick No.3 SD Jalen Ramsey CB Florida St. The Chargers could look at the DL with this choice, but Ramsey would be an outstanding replacement for Eric Weddle. Pick No.4 DAL Myles Jack OLB UCLA The Cowboys are in a great spot to draft Tony Romo's successor, but they could opt to load up and make a championship run in 2016. Pick No.5 JAC Joey Bosa DE Ohio St. The Jaguars need to address the defense and Bosa could team up with last year's top pick, Dante Fowler Jr., to produce a dynamic pass rush. Pick No.6 BAL DeForest Buckner DE Oregon The Ravens usually stick to their draft board and take the best player available. Buckner has a high ceiling and a high floor. Pick No.7 SF Jared Goff QB California There's a lot of buzz about the 49ers' growing faith in Blaine Gabbert, but it would take considerable courage to bypass a talented signal-caller in your own backyard. Pick No.8 MIA Jaylon Smith OLB Notre Dame Even if Smith has to miss a portion of the the 2016 campaign, he's worthy of a top-10 selection. Pick No.9 TB Vernon Hargreaves CB Florida The Bucs need to add a playmaker to the back end, and Hargreaves has very good ball skills. Pick No.10 NYG Noah Spence DE Eastern Kentucky Spence comes with some baggage, but he's a very gifted edge rusher and he would provide a much-needed lift to the Giants' defensive front. Pick No.11 CHI Darron Lee OLB Ohio St. The Bears need to add some speed and athleticism to the linebacker spot and Lee is supremely explosive. Pick No.12 NO Sheldon Rankins DT Louisville Rankins was dominant at the Senior Bowl and he would provide the Saints with a very disruptive interior presence. Pick No.13 PHI Vernon Butler DT Louisiana Tech The buzz on Butler is building following an outstanding week at the Senior Bowl. Pick No.14 OAK Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio St. Oakland has a solid young running back in Latavius Murray, but Elliot is an elite talent and too good to pass up. Pick No.15 STL Paxton Lynch QB Memphis Lynch would fit nicely alongside a very young offensive nucleus in Los Angeles. Pick No.16 DET Ronnie Stanley OT Notre Dame The Lions have some good young pieces on the offensive line and Stanley would be a nice upgrade at left tackle. Pick No.17 ATL Leonard Floyd OLB Georgia I'd love to see Floyd and Vic Beasley rushing from opposite sides. That would be some serious speed coming off the edge. Pick No.18 IND Jack Conklin OT Michigan St. Conklin isn't flashy, but he's very reliable, tough and instinctive. Pick No.19 BUF Laquon Treadwell WR Mississippi Treadwell would be a perfect complement to Sammy Watkins. Pick No.20 NYJ Reggie Ragland ILB Alabama Ragland would put up monster numbers playing behind the Jets' talented defensive line. Pick No.21 WAS Robert Nkemdiche DT Mississippi The Redskins continue to build through the trenches and secure one of the most talented defenders in the draft. Pick No.22 HOU Taylor Decker OT Ohio St. The Texans could look at a WR here, but Decker is a plug-and-play starter at tackle. Pick No.23 MIN Corey Coleman WR Baylor Coleman would team up with Stefon Diggs to provide Teddy Bridgewater with two young and explosive playmakers. Pick No.24 CIN Vonn Bell FS Ohio St. Bell lacks ideal size, but he's very instinctive and he gets his hands on a lot of footballs. Pick No.25 PIT Mackensie Alexander CB Clemson The Steelers need to add some youth to the back end and Alexander is very polished and physical. Pick No.26 SEA A'Shawn Robinson DT Alabama The Seahawks could take some hits in free agency at the position and Robinson has enormous upside. Pick No.27 GB Kevin Dodd DE Clemson The Packers need to get younger and more athletic off the edge. Dodd is just scratching the surface of his potential. Pick No.28 KC Jarran Reed DT Alabama Reed can dominate against the run and he has some upside as a pass rusher. Pick No.29 ARI Kamalei Correa DE Boise St. Correa has a great get-off, plenty of production and an unrelenting motor. Pick No.30 CAR Eli Apple CB Ohio St. Apple has great size and he would fit well into the scheme in Carolina. Pick No.31 DEN Andrew Billings NT Baylor The Broncos could take a hit at the DT position in free agency and Billings is ready to play right away. |

Lance Zierlein | Mock 2.0
2016 NFL Mock Drafts : Mock draft 2.0: Eagles set sights on future
1. Pick No. 1 Laremy Tunsil OT Mississippi Why not protect the face of the franchise, Marcus Mariota, with a future All-Pro left tackle? 2. Pick No. 2 Jared Goff QB California We all remember that Hue Jackson thought Carson Palmer would solve all of the Raiders' problems back in 2011. One has to wonder if he might believe the same thing with Goff, who might be Palmer-lite. 3. Pick No. 3 DeForest Buckner DE Oregon Finding big men who can rush the passer isn't easy to do, but Buckner has size, length, athleticism and an ability to get after the quarterback. Rare traits get drafted early. 4. Pick No. 4 Jalen Ramsey CB Florida St. Ramsey is viewed as a safety by many NFL teams, but whether he's a cornerback or a safety, he's a premium athlete with range and cover skills, which is something Dallas could use. His name will be red-hot after he smashes it at the combine. 5. Pick No. 5 Myles Jack OLB UCLA I'm sure the Jaguars would love to see Jalen Ramsey slip to them, but Jack wouldn't be a bad consolation prize. Gus Bradley's defense covets hybrid athletes who can be moved around the field. Coach Bradley, meet Myles Jack. 6. Pick No. 6 Joey Bosa DE Ohio St. The Ravens are getting old off the edge and pass rushing is always a valued commodity by Ozzie Newsome. Bosa has the size, athleticism and mindset to be a perfect fit for the Ravens' style. 7. Pick No. 7 Paxton Lynch QB Memphis While I don't believe that most would put Lynch here, Chip Kelly's offense has never been fully realized since he's been in the league and Lynch, with his size and athleticism, would be an ideal trigger-man for the future if Kelly isn't sold on Colin Kaepernick's future value as a starter. 8. Pick No. 8 Ronnie Stanley OT Notre Dame The Dolphins are in desperate need of offensive line help and Stanley could be a plug-and-play starter on the right side. Branden Albert will be a potential cap casualty after 2016, which would allow the team to save money while swinging Stanley to the left side. 9. Pick No. 9 Vernon Hargreaves CB Florida This would be a tough spot for the Bucs because they need pass rush and cornerback help badly. Hargreaves doesn't have the size most teams want, but he's an immediate starter while some of the pass rushers available here might not be. 10. Pick No. 10 Kevin Dodd DE Clemson This isn't a great year for edge rushers, but Dodd has high football character, size and projectable qualities that lead me to believe he can be a quality NFL pass rusher. 11. Pick No. 11 A'Shawn Robinson DT Alabama Vic Fangio benefited from a physical, tone-setting defensive front in San Francisco. Robinson gets Chicago a step closer to that type of defensive line. 12. Pick No. 12 Noah Spence DE Eastern Kentucky Spence is a great redemption story. He overcame drug addiction and a ban from the Big Ten to turn his life around. The Saints absolutely must address their pass rush and while I'm not this high on Spence, I know people around the league who believe he'll become a force. 13. Pick No. 13 Carson Wentz QB North Dakota St. The Eagles are moving on from #TeamChip, but they still need to find a franchise player to lead them to greatness. Wentz wouldn't be ready right away, but his potential is worth the investment for the Eagles. 14. Pick No. 14 Jaylon Smith OLB Notre Dame If Smith comes back from his injury at 100 percent and the Raiders are able throw Smith and Khalil Mack at offenses game in and game out ... then ... I don't even know what to say. Smith would be a "best-talent-available" selection here. 15. Pick No. 15 Laquon Treadwell WR Mississippi I'm expecting a very pedestrian 40-yard dash time by Treadwell that will open up a round of discussions about his draft value. While I'm not in love with taking a wide receiver in this spot, he's ultra-competitive and steps in immediately to help the offense. 16. Pick No. 16 Jack Conklin OT Michigan St. Conklin is a Michigan State grinder who can have an immediate impact with the running game and might be able to play on the left or right. While he's not as athletic as Detroit might like, he brings a toughness to the table that will appeal to the Lions. 17. Pick No. 17 Shaq Lawson DE Clemson While he's not a pure-edge-speed guy, his hustle and power get him sack opportunities. He's a good power player to go along with Vic Beasley's finesse style. 18. Pick No. 18 Leonard Floyd OLB Georgia I'm sure the Colts would love to plug an offensive lineman in here, but would reaching make sense? Floyd, it could be argued, might be a reach, but he has tremendous pass-rush traits and simply needs time to fill out that lanky frame. 19. Pick No. 19 Robert Nkemdiche DT Mississippi While the talent and the traits should dictate an earlier slotting for Nkemdiche, fears about his character could cause him to drop. Rex Ryan won't care. 20. Pick No. 20 Vernon Butler DT Louisiana Tech Surprise! With Mo Wilkerson's contract talks bogged down, franchising him makes sense, but finding a future replacement with pass-rushing ability along the defensive front makes sense as well. 21. Pick No. 21 Mackensie Alexander CB Clemson The Redskins have to find an athletic cover corner to match up against the talented receivers inside the division. While Alexander's height is a little bit of a turnoff to some teams, his confidence and aggressiveness could make him the choice here. 22. Pick No. 22 Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio St. I plugged Elliott in here in my last mock draft and I will do so again now. The argument can and will be made that running backs rarely carry first-round value anymore, but Elliott is a clear exception since he never has to leave the field. 23. Pick No. 23 Cody Whitehair OG Kansas St. The Vikings could go in a number of directions here, but I'll plug them in with quality at a need position. Whitehair is rock-steady and a Day 1, long-time starter for the Vikings. He's a solid core selection in the trenches. 24. Pick No. 24 Reggie Ragland ILB Alabama The Bengals might also consider someone like Jarran Reed or Darron Lee here, but Ragland is a low-maintenance version of Vontaze Burfict who can play inside or outside. Ragland also showed some potential as an edge rusher in sub-packages during Senior Bowl week. 25. Pick No. 25 Hunter Henry TE Arkansas Kevin Colbert believes in targeting the best players available. I don't see a quality cornerback available here and Henry has rare blocking talent to go along with his ability as a pass catcher. Henry could step in tomorrow and take over a starting spot. 26. Pick No. 26 Sheldon Rankins DT Louisville While offensive tackle might be the need pick here, I'm betting on GM John Schneider taking the better talent at another position of need. Rankins isn't the biggest interior defender out there, but you won't find many who have fewer holes. 27. Pick No. 27 Le'Raven Clark OT Texas Tech Clark still has some holes he's working on, but he's athletic and has freakishly long arms. Green Bay understands that they have to improve at the tackle spot and Clark has a very high upside, but a scary floor as well. 28. Pick No. 28 Taylor Decker OT Ohio St. Decker has some holes in his pass-protection game, which should be a significant concern, but he is a dominant run blocker and fits a need the Chiefs are desperate to fill. 29. Pick No. 29 Emmanuel Ogbah DE Oklahoma St. He's not the most dynamic athlete out there as an edge rusher, but he's powerful, productive and can often be too much against finesse tackles trying to protect the edge. 30. Pick No. 30 Will Fuller WR Notre Dame Fuller is going to smoke the 40-yard dash at the combine and we'll all be talking about him after that. On tape, his hands are inconsistent, but he's always getting open, and he's getting open way down the field. Cam Newton has plenty of arm, so why not give him another deep target to score touchdowns with? 31. Pick No. 31 |

Re: 2016 CBS/NFLdraftscout Big Board
For me, either a talented cornerback or a defensive end sounds 'bout right to me. Or, if neither are there, trade down and get more draft picks. I'm always a fan of more draft picks.

Mocks and Mocks and Mocks
https://www.profootballfocus.com/blo...-overall-pick/
1. Tennessee Titans – Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State There is change at the top as Ramsey takes over the No. 1 spot for a number of reasons. While Ohio State’s Joey Bosa is still a favorite of ours, he’s not a perfect fit for Tennessee’s scheme, and when given the opportunity to draft a playmaker like Ramsey it’s difficult to pass that up. He’s an excellent all-around football player as he can cover, tackle and play the run. For the Titans, he will excel as a zone corner where his length and athleticism allow him to compress passing lanes as he develops his skills as a press man coverage cornerback. He has the size and length to become one of the league’s best, and given his domination at the combine, the physical attributes are there as well. 2. Cleveland Browns – Jared Goff, QB, Cal There is plenty of reason to believe that the Browns are hot on the trail of North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz, but Goff’s advantage in essential quarterback traits is difficult to ignore. He reads the field quickly, moves around the pocket like a veteran, and gets the ball out of his hand with a quick release. He’s not a perfect prospect, as velocity can become an issue when forced to reset his base, but Goff’s body of work as PFF’s No. 8 quarterback in 2014 and top-rated signal caller in 2015 makes him the right choice for the Browns. 3. San Diego Chargers – DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon Buckner remains the choice at No. 3 for the Chargers as he’s a great fit for their 3-4 scheme. He reminds of Calais Campbell of the Arizona Cardinals, not only in size, but also in future projection from a production standpoint. Buckner was a workhorse for Oregon, leading all interior defensive linemen with 951 snaps and playing over 100 snaps in two different games. Even with the heavy workload, he used his length to lead the nation with a +42.8 pass rush grade while ranking eighth against the run at +29.1. 4. Dallas Cowboys – Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State Bosa falls from No. 1 to No. 4 and the Cowboys are the beneficiaries as they get the top-graded edge defender in college football over the last two years. Bosa projects as a top-notch run defender on the edge while providing a punch as a pass rusher, whether going up against tackles on the outside or kicking in to rush against guards. His +44.1 pass rush grade ranked second in the nation among edge defenders in 2015 after leading the way at +56.6 in 2014. 5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Myles Jack, LB, UCLA The linebacker position is more valuable than ever in today’s NFL, particularly 3-down options that can cover and play the run. Jack can be just that after he led the nation’s linebackers with a coverage grade of +14.7 in 2014 before coming out in 2015 and attacking blocks in the run game better than ever. While he was limited to only 207 snaps last season, Jack’s coverage ability and potential against the run give him the required versatility of a top NFL linebacker. 6. Baltimore Ravens – Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss Tunsil is an option for a number of teams slotted above, but they made the right choices in going with defensive playmakers. He’ll slot in nicely for Baltimore who is expected to release starting left tackle, Eugene Monroe, shortly. Tunsil was limited to only six games, but he handled a great slate of pass rushers (only five pressures on 235 pass blocking attempts) while showing his explosiveness in the run game at +12.1. 7. San Francisco 49ers – Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State He may be the option at No 2 overall, but Wentz is a wild card in my draft. An ideal scenario has him sitting and learning initially, perhaps with a team that has an established quarterback later in the first round, but the 49ers could also be a good situation under new head coach Chip Kelly. Wentz has the arm to thrive in a vertical passing offense, but he needs to work on his timing and decision making. The risk may be high, but Wentz’s potential is through the roof and too difficult to pass up. 8. Miami Dolphins – Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida We’ve started to warm up to a number of cornerbacks in the class, but Hargreaves remains the pick for the Dolphins in part because of his skillset that should match up well with the shifty receivers of the division rival New England Patriots. Hargreaves’ 2015 was a step back from his 2014 season that saw him post the top coverage grade in the nation, but his movement skills and scheme versatility make him a good fit for the Miami defense. 9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor A different twist on Tampa Bay’s pick as we’ve looked to the defensive side of the ball in previous mocks, but with a lot of question marks surrounding the next best edge rushers behind Bosa, the Bucs grab perhaps the top wide receiver in the draft. QB Jameis Winston already has his big targets in Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson, but Coleman adds another dimension to the passing game with his ability to create quick separation and pick up yards after the catch. 10. New York Giants – Sheldon Rankins, DT, New York Giants It’s a similar situation for the Giants who would like to grab an edge rusher here, but Rankins is a great fit on the inside to pair with nose tackle Johnathan Hankins. Rankins’ two-year production is spectacular as he graded at +55.4 in 2014 to rank second among all interior defensive linemen before a +42.3 effort placed him 16th overall in 2015. He’s just as comfortable lining head up on a blocker as he is shooting gaps, and that versatile disruptive presence will be a much-needed upgrade for the Giants’ defense. 11. Chicago Bears – Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State With RB Matt Forte getting released, need and value match up well for the Bears as they get one of the best all-around players in the draft. Elliott posted the third overall grade among the nation’s running backs, showing well as a runner, receiver, and pass blocker while adding some lead blocking to the mix as well. He can cut on a dime and he maximizes runs by finishing well through contact, so expect Elliott to become an immediate three-down option at the next level. 12. New Orleans Saints – Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson The entire defense needs help and Lawson adds a stout presence against the run that can also get after the passer. His +21.9 run grade finished second to only Bosa while adding a +25.9 pass rush grade that ranked 17th in the nation. His progression is only beginning as he played a productive 329 snaps in 2014 before seeing the field for 760 last fall. 13. Philadelphia Eagles – William Jackson III, CB, Houston The first-round hype will continue for Jackson, who was a PFF favorite well before he ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at 6-feet tall at the combine. His size and movement skills project him as a future No. 1 corner, even though there may be some growing pains along the way. In a division with Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham, a 6-foot corner with speed and the No. 3 coverage grade in college football last season makes for a good fit. 14. Oakland Raiders – Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State Another PFF favorite, Jones may have as much upside as any player in the draft. His +54.2 overall grade ranked fourth among interior defensive linemen last season, including a +36.5 pass rush grade that ranked second. He’s extremely strong at the point of attack, prompting our analysts to bring up New York Jets DE Leonard Williams as a comparable player. Throw in Jones’ 1.70 10-yard split at 310 pounds, and the burst and strength give him a rare combination that could make him one of the better players to come out of the draft. 15. Los Angeles Rams – Josh Doctson, WR, TCU Still in need of a quarterback, there are no other signal callers worth reaching for at this point, so the Rams will add one of the best receivers in the draft. Doctson had the op receiving grade in the nation last year at +28.9 despite playing only 582 snaps. He’s coming of a great all-around combine as he showed the same size and speed combination that allowed him to dominate down the field while regularly hauling in spectacular catches with his long frame. 16. Detroit Lions – Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame The pick remains the same for the Lions as they bring in Stanley who graded at +9.6 as a pass blocker and +9.3 in the run game. He’s better as a pass blocker as he moves well to mirror opposing rushers but he’ll struggle with power in the running game. Stanley surrendered only 13 pressures on 458 attempts last season and he can step right into Detroit’s revolving door at right tackle while potentially pushing LT Riley Reiff out the door in the coming years. 17. Atlanta Falcons – Leonte Carroo, WR, Rutgers Adding a complement to WR Julio Jones is a must for Atlanta this offseason and Carroo is one of the more underrated options in the draft. He dominated in only 363 snaps last season, grading at +15.0 as a receiver and averaging 4.11 yards per route, good for second in the nation. While he can be inconsistent snap to snap, he’s shown good burst and separation skills, while dropping only two of 96 catchable passes the last two years. Carroo adds a valuable piece to the Atlanta offense. 18. Indianapolis Colts – Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky Another wild card in this draft, Spence may be off a number of team boards due to off-field concerns and an underwhelming combine, but a draft devoid of elite edge rushers may push him back into the first round. The Colts are lacking any burst off the edge, but with capable run-stopping outside linebackers on the roster, this may be the perfect spot for Spence to ease in as a situational pass rusher as he develops against the run. He dominated Senior Bowl week while notching eight pressures in two games against FBS competition. 19. Buffalo Bills – Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State One of my favorite scheme matches in the first round, Conklin fits the mauling, run-blocking profile that head coach Rex Ryan is looking for. He’s ranked fourth as a run blocker each of the last two years and he finished 2015 with only 11 pressures surrendered on 416 attempts. Buffalo’s power scheme perfectly matches Conklin’s skillset. 20. New York Jets – Shilique Calhoun, OLB, Michigan State Seemingly forever in the market for an edge rusher, the Jets grab Calhoun who has been as disruptive off the edge as any non-Bosa in the draft. His +46.0 pass rush grade led all edge players in 2015 after ranking fifth in 2014 at +38.5. Though his run defense took a step back last year, Calhoun has the potential to be the top pass rushing edge defender in the draft. 21. Washington Redskins – Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama Boasting a strong all-around game, Ragland was one of a number of standouts in Alabama’s front-7, grading well against the run (+13.2) and in coverage (+9.8) while successfully blitzing and rushing off the edge at times (+7.7). With one of the worst inside linebacker situations in the NFL, Washington will be watching all of the linebacker prospects very closely. 22. Houston Texans – Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss We have Treadwell going lower than most as his separation skills were unimpressive on tape (other than slant routes) and his downfield ball skills are inconsistent. He’s still a very good player, but perhaps not the blue chip that everyone assumed heading into the process. He’ll complement WR DeAndre Hopkins’ well-rounded game, adding a possession and red zone threat as the Texans’ search for their quarterback of the future 23. Minnesota Vikings – Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State The more we’ve watched Thomas, the more we’ve liked, as the former Buckeye separates better than most in the class and he’ll add a necessary intermediate threat to the Minnesota offense. He plays fast, gets on corners quickly, and handles press well, so while Thomas may not be the flashiest pick in the draft, he’s a valuable weapon for Minnesota QB Teddy Bridgewater. 24. Cincinnati Bengals – Jonathan Bullard, DE/DT, Florida Just as we said in the last mock, a nose tackle would be a great fit for the Bengals here, but Bullard’s early down production and position versatility is too much to pass up. He can play base defensive end while sprinkling inside at times, bringing excellent play against the run as he led all interior defensive linemen at +50.5 in 2015. He’s not as productive as you’d like as a pass rusher, but he did improve to +7.7 last season and a strong showing at the combine may bode well for him in this department. 25. Pittsburgh Steelers – Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas Even before longtime tight end Heath Miller announced his retirement, the Steelers were in the market for his replacement so nabbing the best option in the draft makes a lot of sense. The sure-handed Henry has only dropped two of 90 catchable passes the last two years, and he has the size and speed to stretch the middle of the field for an already-loaded Pittsburgh passing attack. 26. Seattle Seahawks – Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss Perhaps a risky and somewhat redundant play for Seattle, but Nkemdiche has the potential to become the best interior pass rusher in the draft. He ranked ninth in the nation in that department last year at +23.4, while improving against the run at +11.7. He can play a similar role as Bullard, albeit with different skillsets, as a base defensive end and interior rusher in the mold of current Seahawk, Michael Bennett. 27. Green Bay Packers – Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia Floyd’s six-five, 244-pound frame will draw plenty of interest around the league, especially after a strong combine that saw him show good lower body explosion and speed. He’s likely a pure edge defender at the next level, though some teams may be intrigued by the versatility he showed last season as a traditional linebacker. For Green Bay, he’ll play on the edge where he can use his developing pass rush skills that ranked fifth in the draft class at +28.9. Floyd also ranked fifth against the run at +18.4, as the frame, athleticism and production all match up into a prospect with a lot of potential at the next level. 28. Kansas City Chiefs – Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson Alexander is best in press man coverage and no team played more man coverage than Kansas City last season. He doesn’t have the coveted six-foot height, but Alexander has strong movement skills to mirror receivers off the line of scrimmage. While he didn’t post a great grade (+2.7 in coverage), he was forced to play a lot of “off” coverage with little underneath help last season in Clemson’s scheme, but his work as a press corner fits what the Chiefs like to do defensively, especially with Sean Smith hitting free agency. 29. Arizona Cardinals – Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State Apple’s situation is similar to Alexander’s as he best fits in a press man coverage scheme, though he does boast the prototypical 6-foot-1 frame. He’s physical in coverage, if not grabby, though he locks onto receivers as well as any cornerback in the class when he plays press. The problem for Apple is finding the ball in the air, something he rarely does, making him susceptible to back shoulder throws. He’s also a sloppy open field tackler and inconsistent “off” coverage cornerback, but Arizona’s scheme that played the fifth-most man coverage in the NFL should be able to play to his strengths. 30. Carolina Panthers – Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State A polarizing player, Ogbah posted the third-best pass rushing grade in the draft class at +41.9, before turning heads at the combine with top-three finishes in the vertical and broad jumps and the 40-yard dash. He was underwhelming as a run defender, but his length figures to give him a chance at the next level. Ogbah’s size, burst, and production make him a valuable option at the back end of the first round. 31. Denver Broncos – Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State Whitehair ranked fourth in the nation among offensive tackles at +35.8 overall in 2014 and followed it up by leading the nation at +40.9 last year. He’ll move to guard at the next level where he won’t be a mauler, but his movement skills and ability to sustain blocks will be a perfect match for Denver’s zone-blocking scheme. |

The "draft boards" are still fluid, with pro-days and such coming up. I think McShay underrates Doctsun and Macs. I can't see Vonn Bell as the top S over either of the WV guys...I wouldn't be surprised if their isn't a 1st round S. I think Mackenzie Alexander and Corey Coleman'r prodays are gonna have a major ripple effect on the draft And I love Peggy Sue, er I mean Emmaniel Ogbah 2016 NFL Draft: Todd McShay's 3rd First-Round Mock Pick Team Selection 1 Tennessee Titans Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss 2 Cleveland Browns Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State 3 San Diego Chargers DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon 4 Dallas Cowboys Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State 5 Jacksonville Jaguars Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State 6 Baltimore Ravens Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame 7 San Francisco 49ers Jared Goff, QB, Cal 8 Miami Dolphins Myles Jack, LB, UCLA 9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida 10 New York Giants Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State 11 Chicago Bears Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson 12 New Orleans Saints A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama 13 Philadelphia Eagles Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State 14 Oakland Raiders Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State 15 Los Angeles Rams Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss 16 Detroit Lions Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State 17 Atlanta Falcons Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State 18 Indianapolis Colts Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia 19 Buffalo Bills Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville 20 New York Jets Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky 21 Washington Redskins Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama 22 Houston Texans Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech 23 Minnesota Vikings Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State 24 Cincinnati Bengals Josh Doctson, WR, TCU 25 Pittsburgh Steelers Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson 26 Seattle Seahawks Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss 27 Green Bay Packers Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama 28 Kansas City Chiefs Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State 29 Arizona Cardinals Kamalei Correa, OLB, Boise State 30 Carolina Panthers Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State 31 Denver Broncos Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana |
