1. Los Angeles Rams
primary needs QB, WR, DB
Pick Jared Goff QB California
Reasons
They didn't trade up to grab an OT or a DB that's for sure. I predict they take the higher floor Goff then the higher ceiling Wentz. If any team could afford the loss of all those picks it was the team with the youngest roster in the league 4 seasons running
2. Philadelphia Eagles
primary needs OL S QB Edge rusher
Pick Carson Wentz QB North Dakota State
Reasons
Pederson loves this guy and with Bradford and Daniels already there ,there will be no pressure to start him till 2017
3. San Diego Chargers
primary needs S, OL, DL
Pick Laremy Tunsil OT Mississippi
Reasons
Ramsey is a great DB but no INT's with 66 passes thrown his way. Have a feeling he'll slide a bit. Tunsil fills a huge hole here and both Rivers and Gordon are ecstatic to hear his name called here
4. Dallas Cowboys
primary needs CB, DE RB, Backup QB
Pick Ezekiel Elliot RB Ohio State
Reason
As Tunsil is not in play here I can see a team trying to jump the Jags to get this pick. Jones may be many things and a shrewd trader is one of them. Expect that the teams realize that Stanley and their 2nd rounder is better than Tunsil alone so the Cowboys head to the podium and select Elliot a pick that fits the Cowboys win now attitude. With all the DT depth I expect they will visit that spot day 2. If they pass on Elliot pencil in Jack here
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
primary needs DE, OL, LB
Pick Myles Jack LB UCLA
Reasons
Bradley will love this guys versatility and with Fowler back from his rookie season injury The Jags totally revamp their Backers core
6. Baltimore Ravens
primary needs DE, CB, OLB, OG
Pick Vernon Hargreaves CB Florida
Reason
Could see Buckner or Bosa go here but with AJ Green Antonio Brown and possibly Josh Gordon a lockdown cover corner would be the best choice. Expect a DL day 2
7. San Francisco 49ers
primary needs QB, OL, WR
Pick Payton Lynch QB Memphis
Reason
Niners start the Kelly reboot with a QB bit of a reach but really not. Far more adept at throwing on the run and accuracy is definitely not an issue. Played well against top teams. Could see Stanley Buckner or Bosa go here as well
8. Cleveland Browns
primary needs QB, WR, OL ILB
Pick Ronnie Stanley OT Notre Dame
Reason With 2 1sts next season the rebuild starts .... AGAIN
9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
primary needs CB, OL, DE
Pick Deforest Buckner DT/DE Oregon
Reason
Best player on the board Gives McCoy a teammate that can make O-lines have problems. Winston tries to get Ramsey here but Buckner is the smarter pick
10 New York Giants
primary needs FS, WR, OT
Pick Jalen Ramsey S Florida State
Reason Hopefully Ramsey and Landon Collins become a dynamic duo that Gotham hasn't seen since Batman and Robin
11. Chicago Bears
primary needs OLB, OT, CB
Pick Joey Bosa DE Ohio State
Reason
Fangio needs more playmakers on D that fit his 3-4 hybrid
12. New Orleans Saints
primary needs DE, DT, OG Developmental QB
Pick Leonard Floyd OLB Georgia
Reason
Saints need pressure on the QB. Brees lobbies for Treadwell who's Colston 2.0. D wins out
13. Miami Dolphins
primary needs CB, RB, DE
Pick Kevin Dodd DE, Clemson
Reason
Wake 34 coming off Achilles. Nuff said Too early for Apple or Alexander Likewise Henry or Booker
14. Oakland Raiders
primary needs DB, ILB, RB
Pick Darron Lee LB, Ohio State
Reason
He'll lineup across from Mack for near a decade
15.Tennessee Titans
primary needs pretty well everywhere
Pick Laquon Treadwell WR, Ole Miss
Reasons
Mariota's security blanket is secured maybe he can teach the route tree to Green Beckham while he's at it
6. Detroit Lions
primary needs OT, DT, LB
Pick Jack Conklin OT Michigan State
Reason
Local player with a mean streak at a position of need. Long gone are the days when I used to type in their primary need was a 24 hour bail bondsman
17. Atlanta Falcons
primary needs DE, TE, S
Pick Noah Spence, DE/OLB E Kentucky
Reason
Had Beasley's replacement at Clemson penciled in first but after reflection thought that they need an edge at DE and they get a hybrid type in Spence who'll fit Quinn's multi fronts well
18. Indianapolis Colts
Primary needs OL, OLB, DL
Pick Taylor Decker, OT Ohio State
Reason
Grigson has to protect their investment in Luck and he hasn't been doing a good job at it so far. Expect they will address both lines days 2 and 3
19. Buffalo Bills
Primary needs LB, OL, QB
Pick Jarran Reed, NT Alabama
Reason
Run stuffing tackle as Ryan completes the makeover from a 4-3 to the 3-4 he prefers. This had better work as Schwarz had a top rated D there before Marrone opted out Could see Nkemdiche here as well Suggest he stays off the 3rd floor though
20. New York Jets
Primary needs OT, OLB, ILB QB
Pick Robert Nkemdiche, DT/DE Ole Miss
Reason
Bowles likes multidimensional players on his D. Nkemdiche has to show a better motor though in the NFL. If the Jets are still needing a QB at this point they may be forced to reach for Cook or Prescott here
21. Washington
Primary needs DT, C, CB
Pick Andrew Billings, DT Baylor
Reason
Washington needs to D the run better. McCloughan will load up on the trenches throughout this draft
22. Houston Texans
Primary needs WR, DE, OL
Pick Corey Coleman, WR Baylor
Reason
With Hopkins across the way and Miller in the backfield and a QB whisperer like O'Brien, in place. Brock Osweiler will either flourish or a new regime in 2017
23. Minnesota Vikings
primary needs WR, OL, P
Pick Will Fuller WR, Notre Dame
Reasons
Ginn 2.0 tries to become the deep threat Cordarelle didn't
24. Cincinnati Bengals
primary needs WR, S, LB
Pick Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama
Reason
Physical LB a huge upgrade on Malaluga. Hard to remember how bad the Bengals use to be on draft day
25. Pittsburgh Steelers
primary needs CB, S, LB
Pick Eli Apple, CB Ohio State
Reason great tackling CB could project to a #1 CB. Robinson a possibility here too
26. Seattle Seahawks
primary need OL, DT, CB
Pick Ryan Kelly C, Alabama
Hawks replace the departed Unger and start putting the glue in their line
27. Green Bay Packers
primary needs ILB, NT, speed WR
Pick A'Shawn Robinson, DT Alabama
Reason
Pack get their replacement for Raji
28. Kansas City Chiefs
primary needs CB, WR, LB
Pick Mackensie Alexander CB, Clemson
Reason
Need a replacement for the departed Sean Smith
29. Arizona Cardinals
primary needs OLB, CB, developmental QB
Pick Shaq Lawson OLB, Clemson
Reason
Team with a fairly deep roster takes a player way up their board
30. NY Jets
primary needs OT, OLB, ILB QB
Pick Dak Prescott, QB Mississippi State
Reasons
Jets catch Elway with his pants down and jump in front of the Broncos to steal their QB heir apparent. Bowles remembers how hard it was to deal with Russell Wilson
31. Denver Broncos
primary needs QB, DL, LB
Pick Vernon Butler - DT, Louisiana Tech
Reason
If the Jets, or anyone else, jump the line for Prescott. I expect the Broncos to trade down
primary needs QB, WR, DB
