The NFL draft creeps closer and closer and rumors are swirling up everywhere. Tomorrows mock drafts will change, in fact, in 6 hours the mock will (might) change.
They say an artist’s work is never complete, so neither is a mock draft. Do you FanDuel ?

Round 1 |
Player |
Notes |
| 1 | Los Angeles(7-9) | Jared Goff, QB, California | California kid takes over for the Rams. Day one starter |
| 2 | Philadelphia (7-9) | Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State | Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel and Carson Wentz? Why not! This is a QB driven league and you can’t have too many good things |
| 3 | San Diego (4-12) | Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Mis | San Diego had the worst pass-blocking grade in the league last season. Rivers is a little safer for the remainder of his career. |
| 4 | Dallas (4-12) | Joey Bosa, DE/OLB, Ohio State | Ramsey looks good & is tempting, but Bosa is the pick (and my personal favorite in the whole draft) |
| 5 | Jacksonville (5-11) | Jalen Ramsey, S/CB, Florida State | Tweener by position and experience (FS/CB) Elite track athlete. Will the Jags use him correctly? |
| 6 | Baltimore (5-11) | DeForest Buckner, DE/DT, Oregon | The Ravens need the dominate D again DeForest brings the D back to the Ravens |
| 7 | San Francisco (5-11) | Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis | Chip gets a new toy to play with and Kaepernick wants out. |
| 8 | Cleveland (3-13) | Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss | Top WR prospect and a new weapon for RGIII. Great pick, but they were expecting Paxton Lynch to be available. |
| 9 | Tampa Bay (6-10) | Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida | Best cover corner in the draft |
| 10 | New York Giants (6-10) | Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame | Protecting Eli is probably the smartest choice |
| 11 | Chicago (6-10) | Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State | The Bears do not have a left tackle on the roster, but a 5-tech DE would look great here too. |
| 12 | New Orleans (7-9) | Shaq Lawson, DE. Clemson | Saints need a defensive rebuild. Shaq is a great piece to put pressure on opposing QB’s. |
| 13 | Miami (5-11) | Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State | Blocking, receiving and rushing… he does it all (really really good) |
| 14 | Oakland (7-9) | Myles Jack, LB, UCLA | Knee injury and durabiltiy issues cause a slight slide & the Raiders couldn’t be happier. Will Reggie gamble? Del Rio will… |
| 15 | Tennessee (3-13) | Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia | Pass rush and versatility. Floyd can play ILB and OLB, so he could actually lead the team in sacks and tackles |
| 16 | Detroit (7-9) | Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State | Decker can play both tackle positions and he excels in the run game (something DET needs a lot of help with) |
| 17 | Atlanta (8-8) | Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida | Very strong D-Lineman. Can play inside and outside, the next Michael Bennett (one of my favorite players) |
| 18 | Indianapolis (8-8) | Noah Spence, OLB, Eastern Kentucky | One of the most talented pass rushers in the draft, but comes with some character issues. |
| 19 | Buffalo (8-8) | Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville | Sheldon slides a little bit, but he’s a perfect fit in Buffalo. The Ryan Brothers are both happy. |
| 20 | New York Jets (10-6) | Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State | Cook is better than you think and NYJ moves on from Fitz. |
| 21 | Washington (9-7) | Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama | Savvy and talented interior NT with good movement and eager to improve. Reed could also play 5-tech (so he’s versatile) |
| 22 | Houston (9-7) | Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor | Investing on Brock Lobster? Must supply with weapons |
| 23 | Minnesota (11-5) | Josh Doctson WR, TCU | Can catch anything and is an overachiever |
| 24 | Cincinnati (12-4) | Robert Nkemdiche, DE/DT, Ole Miss | Tons of talent, but a slight risk factor. He has Bengal written all over him. |
| 25 | Pittsburgh (10-6) | William Jackson III, CB Houston | NT is tempting but can be found later. WJIII can be a great CB and a good system fit |
| 26 | Seattle (10-6) | Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M | Filling in the holes that free agency left the Seahawks (o-line help needed). Feels like James Carpenter 2.0. DT could also be a target now that Mebane is gone. |
| 27 | Green Bay (10-6) | Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor | There’s a new bull in town. Billings is massive and takes over for BJ Raji. |
| 28 | Kansas City (11-5) | Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson | A bit of a slide for Alexander (eco maniac), but KC is happy with it. Sean Smith replacement. |
| — | New England* (12-4) | — Pick Forfeited for Deflategate | |
| 29 | Arizona (13-3) | Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama | Instant leader and big tackler, on an already powerful defense |
| 30 | Carolina (15-1) | Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State | Norman leaves, and finding a quick replacement means 1st round CB |
| 31 | Denver (12-4) | Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State | ZBS – Denver lost 4 O-lineman in free agency and Whitehair can start the rebuild process |

Round 2 |
Player |
Notes |
| 32 | Cleveland (3-13) | Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson | A new pass rushing OLB in Cleveland. Dodd has prototypical size for the position, but he’s a 1 year wonder. |
| 33 | Tennessee (3-13) | Vernon Butler, DT, Louisiana Tech | NT aren’t supposed to be this quick. |
| 34 | Dallas (4-12) | Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State | His speed attracts Jerry Jones |
| 35 | San Diego (4-12) | A’Shawn Robinson, DE/DT, Alabama | Big intimidator and run stuffer at DE. Needs to develop pass rushing moves |
| 36 | Baltimore (5-11) | Joshua Garnett, OG, Stanford | Best guard prospect in the draft and helps improve the run game. |
| 37 | San Francisco | Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State | Chip gets a big target and a true #1 WR |
| 38 | Jacksonville (5-11) | Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State | Jax needs many pass rushers as they can get |
| 39 | Tampa Bay (6-10) | Shilique Calhoun, OLB/DE, Michigan State | Good leader, nice game and should develop into a very good pass rusher. |
| 40 | New York Giants (6-10) | Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame | Fast Fuller will make Eli’s stats look amazing. He’ll only need 2 or 3 balls per game, and he’ll get 7 or 8 TD’s year one. |
| 41 | Chicago (6-10) | Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi St | Chicago is looking for key pieces in converting completely to a 34. Great 5 tech DE prospect |
| 42 | Miami (5-11) | Artie Burns, CB, Miami | Doesn’t travel far from campus. |
| 43 | Tennessee (3-13) | Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas | With all the new picks for the TItans, weapons for Marriota is a very good thing |
| 44 | Oakland (7-9) | Karl Joseph, SS, West Virginia | Henry looks like an Al Davis pick |
| 45 | Tennessee (3-13) | Le’Raven Clark, OT, Texas Tech | The new right tackle |
| 46 | Detroit (7-9) | Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama | 3-tech DT in the mold of Aaron Donald |
| 47 | New Orleans (7-9) | Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech | Saints draft heavy on D |
| 48 | Indianapolis (8-8) | Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana | Great left tackle prospect, should go earlier. |
| 49 | Buffalo (8-8) | Kamalei Correa, OLB/DE, Boise State | Continue to find the correct pieces converting to a 34D (The Ryan’s prefer the 34) |
| 50 | Atlanta (8-8) | Deion Jones, OLB, LSU | Linebackers are ATL’s biggest need (Pass rushers too) |
| 51 | New York Jets (10-6) | Kenny Clark, DT, UCLA | Snacks is gone, here’s a nice replacement |
| 52 | Houston (9-7) | TJ Green, FS, Clemson | Tall Fast safety can cover like a CB |
| 53 | Washington (9-7) | Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama | Best Center prospect, unless Whitehair turns Center |
| 54 | Minnesota (11-5) | Vonn Bell, SS, Ohio State | Very impressive cover safety |
| 55 | Cincinnati (12-4) | Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma | Paired up with AJ Green, great combo |
| 56 | Seattle (10-6) | Carl Nassib, DE, Penn State | Mebane’s replacement (and possibly an upgrade) |
| 57 | Green Bay (10-6) | Kentrell Brothers, ILB, Missouri | BJ Raji’s replacement |
| 58 | Pittsburgh (10-6) | Austin Johnson, DT, Penn St. | Stout Nosetackle |
| 59 | Kansas City (11-5) | Adolphus Washington, DT, Ohio State | Big enough to play 5-Tech DE, with some pass rushing ability. |
| 60 | New England (12-4) | Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech | very talented RB. Can do it all |
| 61 | New England (12-4) | Tyler Boyd, WR, Pitt | can play the slot, but might be taller than all the WR in New England |
| 62 | Carolina (15-1) | Shon Coleman, OT, Auburn | New Right tackle |
| 63 | Denver (12-4) | Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State | 5 Tech DE is the target here, but Denver gets their future signal caller here. |

National Fanatic 
I like Cravens to the Browns but Treadwell is a reach and not the best available and Dodd is just a terrible fit.
Yes, Treadwell is a bit of a reach, but he’s the #1 WR. He’s not a blazer, but he’s an aggressive and physical player and I can see Hugh Jackson taking him early. (plus, it’s good to be different). Thank you for the reply!
