1. Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett, DL, Texas A&MCleveland has been on the clock since December 31, when they clinched the number-one pick, and there shouldn’t be too much speculation over their selection. Myles Garrett is the clear-cut top prospect in this draft. He’s a freak athlete and can play any position along the defensive line. Teams will immediately scheme around him for the foreseeable future, and he has a chance to be one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, even as a rookie.

2. San Francisco: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

No one has a clue about which direction the 49ers are heading with their number-two pick. There are so many needs and holes to be filled on this roster that the pick could be wisely used on anything from a QB, to an impact player on defense, or even a running back. To make matters more unpredictable, they hired John Lynch as their General Manager earlier this offseason, who has no previous experience in a front office position. With a young GM and Head Coach, expect them to lean toward what they’re most comfortable with; in this case, the safe choice might be Fournette. Historically, drafting a running back as the second overall pick isn’t wise, but if Kyle Shanahan can replicate the success of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman with Leonard Fournette and Carlos Hyde in the Bay Area, Fournette could be one of the most fruitful picks in the draft.

3. Chicago Bears: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State

The chance of an Ohio State Buckeye being selected by the Bears is very strong. They can walk out with Malik Hooker or Marshon Lattimore to help out their secondary, and neither would be a bad option. Recently-signed Prince Amukamara isn’t necessarily a long-term answer for the position, but in a division that features some of the best quarterbacks in the entire league, bulking up their corps of defensive backs is a must. Hooker has excellent range and top-notch ball skills to be successful early on in the league – he was tied for second in the nation in interceptions last season.

4. Cleveland Browns (TRADE with Jaguars): Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

Predicting the terms of a trade is never easy. With the number of picks the Browns have accumulated over the last few seasons, though, it seems like now would be a great time to trade up if they truly believe someone is “their guy” for the future. The Jets currently have Josh McCown as their starting quarterback, who isn’t a franchise player, so they should be in the market for Trubisky. Here, the Browns jump in front of New York and bring in their quarterback of the future. He’ll compete with Brock Osweiler (sigh) and Cody Kessler for the starting position. Ohio’s Mr. Football heads home after only one season of starting for the Tar Heels.

(Projected trade: Browns send picks 12, 52, 145, 2018 2nd for pick # 4)

5. Tennessee Titans: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State

The future of the Titans is trending in the right direction. This year, they’ll have an offense led by Marcus Mariota, a fearsome running back tandem of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, to go along with their strong offensive line. The pick of Lattimore ensures that they will have a shutdown corner on the other side of the ball. DeAndre Hopkins, Allen Robinson, and T.Y Hilton will have some tough matchups against the former first-team All-Big Ten pick.

6. New York Jets: DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson

I’m not a firm believer in the idea that “QB Wins” is the most airtight metric to determine quarterback success… still, Watson’s contribution in big games speaks for itself. The two-time Heisman finalist rallied Clemson to their first national championship in school history, capping it off with an impressive drive to take out Nick Saban’s tough-nosed Alabama team. Even though he struggles with velocity, he makes up for it with touch, running ability and poise. Poise isn’t an attribute that can be measured numerically, but it’s something this young signal caller possesses more than anyone at the position in this draft. They miss out on Trubisky here, but remain hopeful in the former Tiger.

7. Los Angeles Chargers: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

This is probably the first time you’ve seen McCaffrey mocked to the Chargers, but when you break down how the Chargers like to operate, it makes a ton of sense. Before Danny Woodhead was injured in 2016, there was a noticeable split between Gordon and Woodhead. Having a young corps of Gordon and McCaffrey would take a load off Philip Rivers, who has noticeable dead-arm. Add McCaffrey’s ability to play in the slot, catch passes out of the backfield, and contribute as a kick returner, and the Chargers may have found the spark they need to electrify a city that hasn’t yet warmed up to their grand entrance in 2017.

8. Carolina Panthers: Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford

Thomas is a lock for a top 10 pick. Unfortunately, in this mock, he falls because of the immediate need of a quarterback and defensive backfield help for the other teams. His versatility allows him to contribute as a base defensive end or even a packaged defensive tackle. His productivity is based off his ability to mesh speed and power to rush the passer, as well as his knack for shedding blocks to be a run-stopper.

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin, OL

Departures via free agency put the Bengals in position to make this pick. After losing Andrew Whitworth to the Los Angeles Rams, and guard Kevin Zeitler to a division rival, there’s a glaring hole on the Cincinnati depth chart. The selection of Ramczyk is a start to address the much-needed weak spot in the offense. The Bengals selected at least one offensive lineman per year under Head Coach Marvin Lewis. Developing young lineman will be a key to putting the Bengals back in playoff position.

10. Buffalo Bills: Jamal Adams, S, LSU

Adams will be an electric force on any defense. He’s known for dominating a game with his physical play. He doesn’t have ideal size for either a safety or a linebacker but can do a variety of assignments. He can cover tight ends, play in the slot, or play as an “off” corner. As he progresses, he will need to clean up his tackling, as he is sometimes hindered by his desire to go for the killshot. When he learns how to wisely decide between a big hit and a clean tackle, he’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

11. New Orleans Saints: OJ Howard, TE, Alabama

The Saints are in contention for one of the worst free agency signings of the last few seasons when they gave Coby Fleener a 5-year, $36 million dollar deal in the summer of 2016. Over the last half of the season, he began to split time with Josh Hill. Not ideal. Here, they finally get their replacement for Jimmy Graham, just three seasons later. OJ Howard provides Drew Brees with a tight end who can do damage in the intermediate areas of the field. Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Mark Ingram, Michael Thomas, Willie Snead, and the addition of OJ Howard could make the Saints’ offenses one of the most productive groups in the upcoming season.

12. Jacksonville Jaguars (TRADE with Browns): Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama

The Jaguars may have had a bottom-five record, but they are closing the gap on the way to becoming a threat in the AFC South. The signing of AJ Bouye and Calais Campbell have positioned the Jaguars to be one of the best, if not the best defensive team in the AFC. They are a quarterback away from being deep contenders, but I highly doubt they spend another first round pick on a quarterback. Tom Coughlin and Doug Marrone add Jonathan Allen to their defensive line, while collecting more draft picks in the projected trade, perhaps to add a running back like Joe Mixon on day two of the draft.

13. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Finally, a wide receiver off the board. The Michael Floyd experiment has been officially ruled a complete disaster: he never lived up to expectations, and ended up being released in the middle of the season after an arrest for a DUI. If that doesn’t earn a failing grade, I don’t know what does. Larry Fitzgerald only has a handful of years left, so the demand for a wideout has never been higher for Bruce Arians. The sky’s the limit for Mike Williams, who had a nice breakout season after playing only one game in 2015. Carson Palmer’s clock is ticking as well, and the quarterback position in this draft can be addressed on Day 2 or 3.

14. Philadelphia Eagles: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple

The Senior Bowl is a great environment for prospects such as Hasson Reddick. His athleticism is through the roof, and he can play as an edge rusher or even a base linebacker. As a pass rusher, he can burn an offensive tackle simply by blowing by him with his speed. He does a great job of running on the heel-line as he pursues from the backside. Jim Schwartz can put him in position to do great things for the Eagles’ defense.

15. Indianapolis Colts: Taco Charlton, DL, Michigan

Andrew Luck can’t do it all on his own. The roster is one of the weakest in the league, especially on the defensive side. They have a ton of work to do before they can compete in the AFC again. Selecting Charlton would be a step in the right direction, bring a unique combination of size, length, and athletic features to Indianapolis. He’s sure to be the Taco the town in Indy if he brings production to the defensive side of the ball.

16. Baltimore Ravens: John Ross, WR, Washington

John Ross made national headlines as he broke the NFL Combine record for the fastest 40 yard dash. As impressive as his 40-time is, that accomplishment is only a small piece of what allows Ross to be a projected 1st round pick. Press him? Fine, he can use his hands and release speed to fly by. Play off at 6-10 yards, and he can break in and out of cuts better than anyone in this draft. I’ll be impressed if Joe Flacco can find a way to overthrow him.

17. Washington Redskins: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama

There are very, very few inside linebackers worth a 1st round pick. It’s a position that can be recycled easily, especially in a time where defenses are tasked to keep up with pass-heavy offenses. The traditional NFL offense has evolved to a time where running backs have to be a receiving threat. If it weren’t for a controversy in Indianapolis at the combine, Foster could have potentially been selected higher. Pile on a diluted urine sample, and Foster finds a way to fall to the middle of the round. With this selection, Washington can feel even better about Su’a Cravens transitioning to Safety. According to PFF, Foster led all FBS linebackers in run-stop percentage. If he can improve his coverage, he’s no doubt a three-down linebacker in the NFL.

18. Tennessee Titans: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

Corey Davis is the all-time leading receiver in FBS history. Though he did not attend a power-5 school, he still has the tape and all the intangibles to be successful at the next level. It’s essential to isolate his play, rather than judge him based on the opponents he was facing. The Titans address defense early in the 1st round, and grab a WR here.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dalvin Cook, RB, FSU

There’s no doubt Dalvin Cook and Jameis Winston would love to reunite. The third year QB received additional help this offseason, with the signing of DeSean Jackson. Dalvin’s stock has dropped from some recent combine blunders, but he’s secured himself as a top-three running back in this draft.

20. Denver Broncos: Garett Boles: OT, Utah

The need for a tackle is at the top of the Broncos’ draft board. His journey is truly a remarkable story. In Denver he’ll be tasked with protecting Paxton Lynch or Trevor Siemian; if the Broncos pass on him, I don’t see him falling any further than the Giants, who are also in need of a tackle, considering that Ereck Flowers has been a bust.

21. Detroit Lions: David Njoku, TE, Miami

David Njoku will be everything the Lions wanted in Eric Ebron, and more. Detroit brought in TJ Lang to play right guard, and their offensive line issues are settled. You’ll never be able to replace a guy like Calvin Johnson, but an offense featuring Tate, Jones, Njoku, Riddick, and Abdullah is one way to keep up with the other high scoring teams in the NFC.

22. Miami Dolphins: Forrest Lamp, OL, Western Kentucky

A video of Laremy Tunsil smoking weed out of a gas mask dropped during the NFL Draft was the reason for his tumble down to Miami. The trade of Branden Albert ensures the move on Tunsil kicking to left tackle; Lamp will fill in the hole he leaves at the guard position.

23. New York Giants: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

No need for the Giants to spend a pick on a defensive position here; they’re still a few players away from being a Super Bowl contender. They could potentially be draft their quarterback of the future here, but Eli Manning has never missed a football game in his career. Also, they signed Geno Smith to be the backup, so that reduces the likelihood of taking a QB here from slim to none. Any decent tackle at this point in the draft would be considered an upgrade over Ereck Flowers.

24. Oakland Raiders: Jabrill Peppers, LB/S, Michigan

Assessments of Peppers are all over the place. Is he a safety? A base linebacker? Is he even a defensive player at all? If he ends up in Oakland, he can do a little bit of everything. They have Reggie Nelson and Karl Joseph as their starters, and can platoon Peppers into different positions throughout the defense.

25. Houston Texans: Patrick Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech

The Texans literally sold Brock Osweiler’s contract AND a 2nd round pick to just completely erase his existence on the team. It’s safe to assume they’ll take the best remaining QB once they’re on the clock. They are in a tough position in terms of trading up to grab one. Here, Mahomes stays in Texas and goes to one of the best teams in the league. Mahomes has the traits that could make him great: he looks like Stafford, runs around like Johnny Football, and has a cannon like Rodgers. He’s reckless at times, but he has the best arm in this draft, no doubt about it. He’s can maneuver in the pocket and is incredibly instinctive.

26. Seattle Seahawks: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

The days of the Legion of Boom are long gone. Humphrey is a physical corner who could dominate and benefit from being on the opposite side of Richard Sherman. Sherman was discussed in the offseason about potentially being traded, considering his cap hit. I think they’re better off addressing corner and offensive line in this draft.

27. Kansas City Chiefs: Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida

The Chiefs traded down from the 1st last year. I won’t be shocked if it happens again this year either. Their roster is stacked, but they could benefit from Davis coming into the organization. He has the potential to be the future Derrick Johnson, and fits the mold of a typical Chief defensive player. I could also see Kansas City adding a QB and RB on days 2 and 3.

28. Dallas Cowboys: Charles Harris, EDGE, Missouri

Has the potential to thrive under Rod Marinelli’s system. He can wreak havoc off the edge. The defense lost some key parts over the offseason, and implementing Harris into the rotation will provide a line with extra speed. Demarcus Lawrence would be thrilled to have him on the opposite end.

29. Green Bay Packers: Adoree Jackson, CB, USC

The Packers find their replacement for Sam Shields. Adoree will contribute as a nickelback, off corner, and return specialist. Green Bay does a tremendous job of finding various roles for specific players. Shields was a tremendous corner before the injuries, and his measurements compared to Adoree are almost identical. There’s no need to spend this pick on a running back, either. Their offense is fine, but the defense has some cleaning up to do.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: TJ Watt, LB, Wisconsin

This selection has absolutely nothing to do with the relation between TJ Watt and JJ Watt. Frankly, it’s unfair to both of them, especially because they have two completely different playstyles. We’ve seen people make this mistake before, specifically with Derek Carr and David Carr. TJ Watt is new to the position and is raw as a prospect, but can flourish under Mike Tomlin.

31. Atlanta Falcons: Derek Barnett, DL, Tennessee

The Falcons were fifteen minutes and a 25-point lead away from dethroning the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I still don’t know how they blew that lead, and neither do they. On a positive note, they are only a few missing pieces away from getting to the Super Bowl again. The addition of Dontari Poe and Derek Barnett can help to clean up their issues, along with Vic Beasley becoming an elite pass rusher.

32. New Orleans Saints: Tyus Bowser, LB, Houston

The Saints add two dynamic playmakers, one on each side of the ball. Bowser can play in a 3-4 or contribute as a 4-3 Sam or Will linebacker, and he’s always a threat to rush the passer. He can bend easily off the edge and has excellent agility.
