2016 NFL Mock Draft, 3 Full Rounds @JamFed (5.0)
***UPDATED MOCK DRAFT HERE (4/26): https://nationalfanatic.com/
4/16/2016 by James Fedewa
Still shocked by the Rams / Titans trade on Thursday morning?
The trade was quite remarkable and both teams were greatly rewarded. The timing was a little odd, two weeks prior to the draft, as most blockbuster trades like this can happen the day of. Yet, the newly located Los Angeles Rams are looking for publicity and the league couldn’t be happier.
The Rams head coach, Jeff Fisher, was surprisingly smug in interviews, like a kid who stole a candy bar and got away with it. He did not reveal who the Rams coveted with the trade, but that how we can speculate.

This would be a horrible draft for the Packers. For example… ILB R. Ragland is over-rated, and he only benched 13x at the combine, so how does that make him strong? There are WRs that can bench more.
