***Official 2016 FFToday Mock NFL Draft***

[worm 36]

After yesterday's big trade what better time to start the board mock NFL draft. We'll use the same format from last year.

• Each pick is up for debate until any one player gets three votes.
• Any person can chime in for any team
• The first player with three votes then becomes the pick and we move on to the next team
• No trades allowed because that would be too difficult to do without certain persons representing each team.

I will update the original post when I can, but once a player has three votes there isn't any need to wait for me to update the pick before moving on.

Rams - QB, Carson Wentz

[Mike FF Today 725]

Ahh yes, it's that time of year again. Thanks for getting this started worm.

 

I think the Goff talk of late is just a smokescreen or a suggestion from the league to not leak the No.1 pick so far in advance of the draft to keep interest up.

 

1.01 Rams - QB Carson Wentz

[Vikings4ever 550]

3 for Wentz.

Browns: QB Jared Goff

For years, the Browns have tried to find a QB, but haven't taken in the top 20 since the initial draft of this iteration of the team, Tim Couch. Time to change that.

[giraldi02 474]

Browns - Goff

[rholio 339]

Browns- Goff

[Vikings4ever 550]

1.03: Chargers take Laremy Tunsil, OT

 

Chargers need major help on the O-line, might as well take one who might be the best player in the draft.

[giraldi02 474]

I'm going to differ from the majority here for San Diego.

I think they take Jalen Ramsey.

He's arguably (is there an argument?) the best defensive player in the draft, and I would rate him as THE best player overall.

[BobSanders_33 127]

Tunsil to SD

[R8RMick 242]

Tunsil to SD.

[R8RMick 242]

Zeke Elliott to Dallas, build on your strength.

[worm 36]

1.04 - Jalen Ramsey

[Vikings4ever 550]

+1 Jalen Ramsey

[giraldi02 474]

1.04 - Jalen Ramsey.

The Cowboys get the best player in the secondary at FSU since Prime Time. Coincidentally, Deion went #5 overall.

[ralphster 274]

1.05 Deforest Buckner

[worm 36]

1.05 - Myles Jack

[Mike FF Today 725]

Interesting spot here for the Jags. They could go in a number of directions....

 

1.05 - Jacksonville Jaguars: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

[R8RMick 242]

Latest news on the med re-check has Jack in a freefall. I've truthfully never heard of stitches being used in cartilage surgery to prevent bone-on-bone conditions.

1.05- Bosa

[Smileseers 54]

1.05 Deforest Buckner

[petekrum 20]

Buckner

[R8RMick 242]

Bosa to Baltimore at 1.06

[ralphster 274]

1.06 - Bosa

[worm 36]

1.06 - Bosa

 

1.07 - Myles Jack

[R8RMick 242]

1.07 Ronnie Stanley

[ralphster 274]

1.07 - Ronnie Stanley

[Vikings4ever 550]

Jack is probably the best player available.

 

But he has health issues. Will that scare away the 9ers, who had multiple players retire early?

 

I'll say Chip goes BPA and takes Jack.

[giraldi02 474]

If Jack is there, I think Chip and/or Baalke will take him. Additionally, Lane Johnson was the only offensive lineman drafted in the three years by Chip. He can't stand the line in the pros

 

1.07 Myles Jack

 

1.08 Ezekiel Elliott.

 

BPA and a need. Mathews is 29, Sproles 33. Kenjon Barner only other RB on roster.

[Vikings4ever 550]

+1 for Elliott

[ralphster 274]

1.08 Elliot

[R8RMick 242]

Hargreaves 1.09

[Mike FF Today 725]

I'll go ahead and cast a second vote for CB Vernon Hargreaves, for the Bucs, although I could see Leonard Floyd being an option as well.

[Vikings4ever 550]

Third vote for Hargeaves.

 

For Giants, Ronnie Stanley

[Cruzer 1,995]

Giants: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson

[Hardcore troubadour 15,429]

Giants -Stanley. That will be 3 first rounders and a second rounder on that line.

[worm 36]

Giants 1.10 - Corey Coleman, WR

 

I've been seeing a lot of critical stuff on Treadwell lately (especially PFF), and Coleman is probably a better fit for their system anyway.

[R8RMick 242]

LaQuon Treadwell 1.10

[Mike FF Today 725]

1.10 - I'll cast a vote for OT Ronnie Stanley, Notre Dame for the Giants. They need some o-line help in a bad way.

 

Da Bears at 1.11 are on the clock!

[R8RMick 242]

Giants -Stanley. That will be 3 first rounders and a second rounder on that line.

 

Wouldn't think you'd want to remind that Erik Flowers was a first rounder, as he was a disaster last season.

 

Shaq Lawson 1.11

[Hardcore troubadour 15,429]

 

Wouldn't think you'd want to remind that Erik Flowers was a first rounder, as he was a disaster last season.

 

Shaq Lawson 1.11

I disagree. He was a rookie left tackle, who had to do that because of injury. The kid came through it fine.

[R8RMick 242]

I disagree. He was a rookie left tackle, who had to do that because of injury. The kid came through it fine.

 

Well if your claim that 'he came through just fine' means he didn't get Eli killed then yeah, I'm smoking what you're rolling. And I respect your support of your team. But #9 overall is a huge pick for a team. That player should step in and be dominant, or at least contribute significantly, from day one. What's got to hurt even more is the possible fact that the Giants would've taken Lael Collins at #9 if that girlfriend stuff didn't break. Ouch. Well, here's what the experts at Pro Football Focus had to say:

 

9. Ereck Flowers, OT, New York Giants

2014 PFF College grade: +22.4 (10th-highest OT in class)

2015 PFF NFL grade: -44.1 (76th-highest OT in NFL)

Flowers wasn’t horrendous in run-blocking as a rookie, though he didn’t play well, either, grading at -4.0. He was completely overwhelmed as a pass-blocker, though, allowing five sacks, 17 hits, and 47 hurries in 2015.

(Sorry to hijack the thread mods, just thought it pertinent.)
