2016 NFL Mock Draft - Round 1 (Updated)

There’s been a complete overhaul at the top of this draft after two massive trades. Here’s my (updated) best guess at how things will play out.

1. Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff, QB, Cal

2. Philadelphia Eagles: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State

3. San Diego Chargers: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss

4. Dallas Cowboys: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State

6. Baltimore Ravens: DeForest Buckner, DL, Oregon

7. San Francisco 49ers: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA

8. Cleveland Browns: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame

10. New York Giants: Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State

11. Chicago Bears: Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama

12. New Orleans Saints: Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida

13. Miami Dolphins: William Jackson, CB, Houston

14. Oakland Raiders: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville

15. Tennessee Titans: Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor

16. Detroit Lions: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

17. Atlanta Falcons: Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia

18. Indianapolis Colts: Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State

19. Buffalo Bills: Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis

20. New York Jets: Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson

21. Washington Redskins: Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi State

22. Houston Texans: Josh Doctson, WR, TCU

23. Minnesota Vikings: Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss

24. Cincinnati Bengals: Sterling Shephard, WR, Ohlakoma

25. Pittsburgh Steelers: Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia

26. Seattle Seahawks: Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama

27. Green Bay Packers: Darron Lee, LB, Ohio State

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama

29. Arizona Cardinals: A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

30. Carolina Panthers: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State

31. Denver Broncos: Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech

The defensive line depth in this draft is pretty striking. In any other year, Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd from Clemson would comfortably find themselves as Day One picks. This year, though, I didn’t have a place for them in the top 31. Hopefully one of them falls to pick 51 where the Jets can stop the freefall.
