The first round kicks off on Thursday, April 28th at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. Version 1.0 of my mock draft can be found here.
1) Tennessee Titans - Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi
No change here. Titans still need protection for Mariota.
2) Cleveland Browns - Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
Solidified his position at the combine as the draft's top QB.
3) San Diego Chargers - Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State
The Chargers simply can't pass on a talent like this.
4) Dallas Cowboys - Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
No-brainer pick to replace Greg Hardy at defensive end.
5) Jacksonville Jaguars - DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
Huge, athletic and versatile DL for Gus Bradley's defense.
6) Baltimore Ravens - Ronnie Stanley, OL, Notre Dame
Slides in at LT for the soon-to-be released Eugene Monroe.
7) San Francisco 49ers - Jared Goff, QB, California
With Kap likely on his way out, the 49ers go with Goff.
8) Miami Dolphins - Myles Jack, LB, UCLA
Huge upgrade over the departing Kelvin Sheppard.
9) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida
Perfect pick for a team in desperate need of CB talent.
10) New York Giants - Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson
Replenishing the Giants depleted d-line is a priority.
11) Chicago Bears - Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State
Size and athleticism is badly needed in the Bears secondary.
12) New Orleans Saints - A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama
Help is on the way for a historically bad run defense.
13) Philadelphia Eagles - William Jackson, III, Houston
Huge need filled at corner with the fast-rising Jackson.
14) Oakland Raiders - Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida
Bullard and Mack bookends are a scary thought.
15) Los Angeles Rams - Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
A new(ish) home brings a new QB for the LA franchise.
16) Detroit Lions - Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
Talent meets position of need for the Lions.
17) Atlanta Falcons - Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State
Even with Beasley, ATL struggled to get pressure off the edge.
18) Indianapolis Colts - Darron Lee, LB, Ohio State
Speedy playmaking LB for the Colts defense.
19) Buffalo Bills - Leonard Floyd, LB/DE, Georgia
Rush LB to replace the recently released Mario Williams.
20) New York Jets - Noah Spence, DE/OLB, Eastern Kentucky
Spence's slide finally ends in the Big Apple.
21) Washington Redskins - Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA
Replaces "Pot Roast" in the middle of the Redskins defense.
22) Houston Texans - Ezekiel Elliot, RB, Ohio State
Absolute steal to replace the broken down Arian Foster.
23) Minnesota Vikings - Jack Conklin, OL, Michigan State
Immediate starter at RG, potential long-term answer at RT.
24) Cincinnati Bengals - Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State
Should develop in to an excellent #2 receiver behind Green.
25) Pittsburgh Steelers - Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana
Replaces Kelvin Beachum at LT protecting Big Ben's blind side.
26) Seattle Seahawks - Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
So many needs, but Carroll goes DL with this selection.
27) Green Bay Packers - Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama
As usual, the Packers stay true to their board and go BPA.
28) Kansas City Chiefs - Kevin Dodd, DE/LB, Clemson
Powerful and athletic pass rusher for the Chiefs defense.
29) Arizona Cardinals - Shilique Calhoun, DE/LB, Michigan State
Cards get younger on the edge with this fast-rising prospect.
30) Carolina Panthers - Taylor Decker, OL, Ohio State
Decker makes it the sixth Buckeye taken in the 1st round.
31) Denver Broncos - Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss
World champs take a chance on the troubled defensive lineman.
