It's been complicated over the last few years with all the trades, so I'm basing this on whether or not people stay pretty close to where they were supposed to pick. It's just too difficult to predict when a team will move up 2 slots to take someone nobody wanted anyway.
- Tampa Bay - Jameis Winston, QB, FSU - I think he's going to be a bust, but he has the athletic ability to be a starter. Immaturity in the NFL isn't going to fly in the age of social media.
- Tennessee Titans - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon - I think Tennessee will make the choice and then listen to offers. If there is a trade it will be a three team deal or to Cleveland for #1's.
- Jacksonville Jaguars - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama - Not giving Bortles a big time target is going to kill his development. They need a pass rusher, but he's too good to pass up.
- Oakland Raiders - Leonard Williams, DT, USC - Rated the #1 player in the draft by almost everyone. Raiders have to pick him. If Jacksonville takes him, Raiders will snatch Cooper.
- Washington - Dante Fowler, DE/OLB, Florida - I will be shocked if Washington doesn't trade down and don't be surprised if it's to SF or Houston.
- New York Jets - Kevin White, WR, WVU - Cue the boo birds. This is an awful pic, because the Jets can pick one of five de/olb who can start right now.
- Chicago Bears - Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford - Might be a reach, but with their two WRs gone, they go for solid protection for Cutler.
- Atlanta Falcons - Arik Armstead, DE/DT, Oregon - Some have this guy going much later, but I think he might be the best DE in the draft and could move inside in Fox 3-4 system.
- New York Giants - Brandon Sherff, OT/G, Iowa - Typical NYG lineman. There are rumors the Giants like one player immensely and will trade down if they don't get him, but I think it's him.
- St. Louis Rams - Cameron Erving, OL, FSU - There are better players and the Rams would love to take a WR, but this guy can play all five OL positions. Too valuable with their holes.
- Minnesota Vikings - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville - I can't name anyone on this offense other than a guy who didn't play most of last year. If he plays, Parker is a great pick. If not???
- Cleveland Browns - DJ Humphries, OT/G, Florida - Most people have him going later, maybe even with Cleveland's second 1st rounder, but they snatch up protection for ???
- New Orleans Saints - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan St. - A true need pick. Saints could try and trade down to pick a CB later, but Waynes is the best in the class.
- Miami Dolphins - Nelson Agholor, WR, USC - Everyone in the world just dropped dead...well everyone in Miami. Gurley is slotted by everyone here. Miami always does this.
- San Francisco - Vic Beasley, DE/OLB, Clemson - I've seen mocks with him taken third and others with him in the 2nd round. Pass rushers are all over the place.
- Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia - I think Houston is one of those teams quietly ready to offer the world for Mariota. If they don't, they get a stud, who will be a starter.
- San Diego Chargers - Erick Flowers, OT, Miami - Trade rumors are swirling, but they are all created by ESPN. SD keeps Rivers and protects him.
- Kansas City Chiefs - Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest - For a team that isn't that bad, the Chiefs sure do need to fix a lot. KJ, will step in nicely, but wow, does he have a tough job.
- Cleveland Browns - Danny Shelton, DT, Northwestern - Cleveland was terrible against the run last year and this guy fills huge holes. Cleveland needs to draft smart.
- Philadelphia Eagles - Landon Collins, S, Alabama - OK, this is a reach as most have him going in the last 2-3 picks, but this guy reminds me of Laron Landry before he went insane.
- Cincinnati Bengals - Bud Dupree, DE/OLB, Kentucky - Some have this guy as a top 5 pick, some have him mid 2nd round all because he goes to a basketball school.
- Pittsburgh Steelers - Bryon Jones, CB, UConn - As always, the Steelers get a guy who on paper should have gone about ten picks sooner. Gregory is the sexy pick, this is the smart one.
- Detroit Lions - Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin - Will split time in backfield and add some offense to an already potent one. Probably a bad pick here, but good player.
- Arizona Cardinals - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington - Best available player who fills a need. Two names with off the field problems are the reason for this pick.
- Carolina Panthers - Dorial Green Beckham, WR, Oklahoma - Top ten talent, I'm actually questioning him still being here. If so, Carolina is more than happy to take him.
- Baltimore Ravens - Shane Ray, DE/OLB, Missouri - Off the field issues are a norm for Ravens players, so why not take a chance on this guy? Bust written all over him.
- Dallas Cowboys - Jordan Phillips, NT, Oklahoma - Mid 2nd round prospect taken early by Boys who avoid going with WR, CB or RB here.
- Denver Broncos - Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA - Malcolm Brown is the sexy pick, but Kendricks is more of a need. Of course, I want Brown.
- Indianapolis Colts - Eric Rowe, CB/S, Utah - Colts are probably going to be in the Super Bowl this year and really just need 2nd stringers, so this is a solid pick.
- Green Bay Packers - Bernardick McKinney, LB, Miss St. - Absolutely nobody has him going first round, but this guy is a beast. Perfect player for GB.
- New Orleans Saints - Philip Dorsett, WR, Miami - Brees needs a new toy and Miami's WR is perfect in this offense. Devin Smith could also be a choice.
- New England Patriots - Devin Smith, WR, Ohio St. - This won't be the pick, because coach will probably trade for the rights to Jerry Rice somehow, but they need another WR or CB.
