Seahawks add beef up front in final 2016 first-round NFL mock draft

1. LOS ANGELES RAMS*

QB Jared Goff, California

Previous pick: WR Corey Coleman, Baylor (at No. 15)



Notes: Los Angeles gave up a bevy of picks to acquire the former Cal star, but the only thing worse than paying a king's ransom for a franchise quarterback is not having one.

With the 2016 NFL draft less than 24 hours from kickoff in Chicago, it's almost the last chance to make our best guesses at where the top prospects will land in Thursday's first round.

Some certainties: The top two selections are likely set, following blockbuster trades to acquire the picks; there are more elite defensive line prospects than perhaps in any draft class in history; and the New England Patriots will be sitting out the first round as part of their "Deflategate" punishment.

Some unknowns: Everything else.

The class of 2016 appears to be a good fit for the Seattle Seahawks, who need help along both their offensive and defensive lines. But which will they address first? And could they possibly trade out of the first round in order to accumulate more picks later on in what GM John Schneider called the deepest draft in his Seahawks tenure?

(The answer to that last question is a resounding yes, which might render this whole exercise moot. But I plow on.)

Check out the gallery above for my best guesses for the draft's first round Thursday night, including Seattle's pick at No. 26 overall.

Note: I didn't include any additional trades in the first round, because, while predicting which players each of the 32 31 teams will fall in love with is a productive use of time, trying to forecast trades is downright crazy.
