2016 Mock Draft Part Two: Electric Boogaloo

[The Raven Effect]

2016 Mock Draft:

 

*Assuming we re-sign Osemele*

 

1. Titans - Laremy Tunsil: Gotta make sure Mariota doesn't become human jello

2. Browns - Carson Wentz: Death, taxes, and another new Browns QB. He has some potential though.

3. Chargers - Joey Bosa

4. Cowboys - Jalen Ramsey: This is gonna be tough to see him go before us and if he falls to us I'd take him in a heartbeat, but he just seems like a Cowboys type of player/personality.

5. Jaguars - Vernon Hargreaves

6. Ravens - Myles Jack: Easily BPA here. Dean Pees will have a field day with him thanks to his athleticism and versatility. A perennial pro-bowler and all pro no matter where he plays, or what team he ends up on. Could have an Adalius Thomas like impact on the defense (not really at DE, but at LB/S/and maybe even some RB).

7. 49ers - Jared Goff

8. Dolphins - Ronnie Stanley

9. Buccaneers - DeForest Buckner

10. Giants - Noah Spence

11. Bears - Reggie Ragland

12. Saints - Sheldon Rankins

13. Eagles - Paxton Lynch

14. Raiders - Mackensie Alexander

15. Rams - Laquon Treadwell: Unnecessary speed concerns will cause him to fall a bit.

16. Lions - A'Shawn Robinson

17. Falcons - Leonard Floyd

18. Colts - Jack Conklin

19. Bills - Robert Nkemdiche: He's falling worse than Alicia Keys, but Rex Ryan is gonna salivate over him.

20. Jets - Emmanuel Ogbah

21. Redskins - Jarran Reed

22. Texans - Ezekiel Elliott

23. Vikings - Jason Spriggs

24. Bengals - Michael Thomas: Sanu/Jones both look like they'll be gone, so another playmaker is needed.

25. Steelers - Eli Apple: Pittsburgh needs DB's like fat kids need cake.

26. Seahawks - Taylor Decker

27. Packers - Darron Lee

28. Chiefs - Shaq Lawson

29. Cardinals - Andrew Billings

30. Panthers - Will Fuller

31. Broncos - Shon Coleman

 

*Patriots forfeit 1st round pick due to deflate-gate* 

 

Notable 2nd Round Picks

 

Cowboys - Derrick Henry

Rams - Connor Cook

Falcons - Sterling Shepard: One of my favorite players in the draft, maybe we could trade up because he's gonna be great.

Packers - Hunter Henry

 

 

Ravens Draft Picks

 

2 - Darian Thompson: Total ball hawk, and the Ravens need someone like that badly.

3 - Pharoh Cooper: I think learning from Steve Smith will help work out the kinks, good speed/hands/character.

4 - Chris Jones: Reminds me of Carl Davis, should've gone higher and will be much better than just a 4th round pick.

4 (comp) - Joe Dahl: T depth, hopefully we can groom him to take over at LT in a year or two.

5 (comp) - Cyrus Jones: Hometown kid, great returner which we need, could be a solid nickel CB.

5 (comp) - Landon Turner: Big road grater, a little under the radar, I think, he'll fit in well in Baltimore.

6 - Vernon Adams: Can compete with Mallett if Joe takes longer to return, Tyrod-esque.

I like it.  I've been all about myles jack since I made my mock awhile back, glad to see others coming around.   I'd be very happy with this draft.  I don't think elliot falls that far though.

Jaguars aren't going to pass on Jack for Hargreves. They need front 7 and pass rushing help more than anything else.

They will get fowler back to help the front, I think they go Hargreaves as well.  They are going to be pretty damn good imo, maybe in another year

[Jaybirds]

I'm having trouble finding it.  But I thought the Jags were on record saying they would go front 7 instead of DB.

They actually are strong up front with a pretty bad secondary, but Gus Bradley has a master plan and he needs more pieces up front for it to work

Darian Thompson has bust written all over him. Why do we want to take a safety who can't run the 40 faster than 4.7? He is garbage, if we take a safety it should be Karl Joseph

Care to elaborate?  Or is calling a player garbage the extent of your opinion?

4.7 forty is all the elaboration needed. The kid is slow. He will get roasted in our division by AJ Green and AB for big plays. I wouldn't touch Thompson til day 3, let someone else make the mistake of drafting him #bustcity

I told people Darian Thompson lacked athleticism. His 3C drill was not very good. Joey Bosa, a DL/OLB with significantly more weight, posted a way better 3 cone drill than Thompson, a safety. Darian Thompson is a true gambler, and I do like him, but he does not have the range to play FS in single-high. He was responsible for quite a few deep completions this year due to making a bad gamble. 

[RavensDieHard21]

Great draft if it happens, but I would not take Thompson in the second if Jackson III is there on the board. I would probably take Boyd over him as well. Safety is a need, but I don't think they're better than certain talent still left on the board

That's a problem. We play against AJ Green, Marvin Jones (if they keep him), Bryant, and Antonio Brown. We need people that can defend deep, not more inbox defenders. I'd rather have someone like Kearse or WJ3.

Possibly Josh Gordon and Travis Benjamin as well

I saw a few of those deep completions on the tape I watched of him, it looked pretty bad. I always thought Thompsons instincts were kinda overrated, I'd rather take a chance on a later round guy, there's quite a few that played deep coverage in college, like Kevin Byard and Justin Simmons.

Yep. I like Byard, Bell, and Deiondre' Hall are the guys who really flashed for me. I really liked what I saw from Hall out there. I think he may be a bit higher now than other guys I liked before, such as Thompson. Keanu Neal also looked really good out there.
