1. CLE- Myles Garrett DE - Best overall player
2. SF- Jonathan Allen DL - Good fit in their D and 2nd best player. QBs suck tbh.
3. CHI- Malik Hooker S - This team needs D help
4. JAX- Derek Barnett DE - More pass rush. No idea if he grades out this high but he could. This was the single hardest spot for me to mock TBH.
5. TEN- Corey Davis WR - Best pass catcher in the draft to help their young QB.
6. NYJ - Dalvin Cook RB - Has been mocked a lot. Makes sense. Best RB IMO.
7. SD - Jamal Adams S - SD helps it defense out.
8. CAR- Marshon Lattimore CB - Needs a CB. A few guys could be considered the best.
9. CIN- Reuben Foster LB - Just makes sense to me.
10.BUF- Cam Robinson OT - Bills take a shot on a talented but troubled player.
11. NO- Marlon Humphrey CB - Saints can not pick enough D this draft.
12.CLE- ***Trade for Jimmy G*. After looking at QBs this makes the most sense for them. 1st & 3rd and we send them a 4th next year. Getting a 4th this year from them makes no sense.
Pats pick: Quincy Wilson CB - We may see record CBs go off the board. I was torn on who the Pats pick here and a trade down is possible (maybe likely) but I will keep it simple. Wilson is clearly a first round CB and he has a great mix of size and skill and if Ryan walks is a huge need. I was thinking pass rusher but no one i like quite enough at #12 to do it for.
Alternatives: Fournette - RB, Taco Chartton - DE, Sidney Jones - CB
13.ARI- Ryan Ramczyk OT - Tiny reach but the best option at a need position. Also not many good OTs this draft so now or never.
14.PHI- Leonard Fournette RB - Need a RB and they are glad he fell this far.
15.IND- Sidney Jones - CB - Need D help badly. This fits.
16.BAL- Taco Charlton DE - Taco rises up more before the draft.
17.WAS- Adoree Johnson - CB - Possibly besides Garrett the most talented player in the draft but needs to learn a lot about football. Washington decides to be the one to take the shot just as we enter the 2nd half of the first round.
18.TEN- David Njoku TE - Character concerns push Howard down. Titans need offensive play makers badly. Take a shot on huge upside but still a reach.
19. TB- Zach Cunningham LB - Many good options but Zach is too good to pass up on.
20.DEN- Mitch Trubisky QB - First QB off the board to the team that needs one the most. When all is said and done I think Mitch goes first.
21.DET- Takkarist McKinley EDGE - Lucky he slipped so far.
22.MIA- Jabrill Peppers S - Hybrid guy finds a home here.
23.NYG- Christian McCaffrey RB - NY needs more pass catchers and a RB. Bit of a reach here IMO but fits too well for them as he helps both problems.
24.OAK- Solomon Thomas DE - Needs pass rush help. This guy is a gift at 24. Steal of the draft but honestly I see him as the 16th or so best player so not as big a steal as some think.
25.HOU- Pat Mahomes - QB - Play maker at QB is much needed. Pat will help instantly but his upside IMO is questionable.
26.SEA- Quenton Nelson - G - I think he declares and though G in the first round isn't great it is a good fit of need and talent. Nelson is one of the rare Gs worth a first.
27. KC- Mike Williams WR - KC will talk themselves into this. I think it is a reach. He will be okay but not special.
28.DAL O.J. Howard TE - Replacement for Witten but a risky pick IMO.
29. GB- Chris Wormley - DL - People will talk CB help but the DL needs help too and unlike the CBs wasn't injured to ****
30.PIT- Charles Harris DE - Their coach is the issue but that aside if they plan to do the same scheme over and over they better pass rush at least.
31.ATL- Dawuane Smoot DE - Atlanta needs more pass rushers on the outside. Smooth is a fair option.
32. NE- Jarrad Davis - LB - Tough spot for the Pats. If not for the run on edge guys I think they go that direction but now the talent doesn't work as well for this spot. Walker is good but questions on attitude worry me a bit. Read about them on a tweet and it gave me pause. If not for that I would go with him here. Williams is interesting too but I don't see a great fit. Jarrad is a safer pick at a need position and good value.
Alternatives: Demarcus Walker* - DE, Tim Williams - Edge, Jalen Taylor - CB (off field issues dropped him in a strong CB class), Malik McDowell - DT/DE, Caleb Brantley - DT
Notes: I know the only trade is the Patriots one but I don't want to project non-Patriots trades. Too much to consider. Also I hate my #4 pick but after a while I had to go someone. I know Corey Davis at #5 seems high and it is a bit. But you wait. In a weak top end WR class he is clearly the top talent and it will drive his market up as the best pass catcher in the draft. In the end i mocked the 2 QBs i personally believed in the most. I have to think when said and done other teams will too. Full disclosure i have not closely looked at all these players but i looked at enough to work around that and be pretty fair. For the rest i took notes from mock sites i like and people on this site whose opinions i trust.
