I haven't done a mock on Fanspeak for a week, so here's mine, using Walter Football's rankings:
2016 NFL Mock Draft via Fanspeak's On the Clock Mock Draft Simulator
I chose Shepherd & his plug-n-play ability ahead of Braxton Miller & his potential. I would be happy with either one of them however.
No Jason Spriggs, so LeRaven Clark is the next-best LT prospect, and it's not even close.
Shilique Calhoun & Robert Nkemdiche were still available, but our need for a 3rd OT is so great that I chose Clark over the higher-ranked DLmen.
An athletic DT has now become a top-100 priority (thanks, "genius"), and Ridgeway is the best available.
He & Malcolm Brown can wreak havoc in NE like they did at UT.
Devontae Booker has the chance to become a true 3-down RB, moreso than the others remaining who are either mostly runners or mostly receivers.
There should be a lot of good RBs available at the end of the 3rd, so Bill has no excuse to reach for one.
CB is always a need here, so I chose Kalan Reed mostly out of deference to Manx & others who seem to really like him more than others I might have chosen ahead of him.
Jordan Payton in the 6th round could become the next David Givens for us.
OT Caleb Benenoch is raw, but is athletic & coachable, and is the best OT available and I want to double-dip at this position more than at any other position.
SS Jayron Kearse is swing-n-miss, but has the height, length & growth potential to perhaps become a Nickel LB; he really just needs a fire lit under his ass.
I didn't know much about Roy Robertson-Harris or Greg Milhouse before now, but they look like athletic
guys with production at their levels who would be worthy 6th/7th-round depth with upside.
And Beau Sandland is just way too athletic to pass-up here. Finally, our Prisoner replacement?
