First Round Mock Draft 1-6

[trevorsteadman]

I think over the past few weeks I have bought into your guys' mock draft hype so I decided to make my own. Let me know what you think.

 

1. Tennessee Titans: Laremy Tunsil OT Ole Miss

The Titans need to protect Mariota after he missed several games last season due to injury. He so happens to also be probably the best player in the draft and that is probably just because he plays a not-so-sexy position.

2. Cleveland Browns: Carson Wentz QB North Dakota State

Even though I do not agree with the Browns to take a quarterback... I see their organization going this route with new coach Hue Jackson. While Goff is more polished and football ready, I see the Browns taking the stronger armed and more durable Wentz. This will be to attempt to imitate what the Ravens and Steelers have in Flacco and Roethlisberger respectively. 

3. San Diego Chargers: DeForest Buckner DE Oregon

While it took me awhile to bite into the DeForest Buckner hype. PFF has him as the highest rated prospect in this draft. His height and hand size combination with be deadly on a Chargers defense that needs a playmaker upfront.

4. Dallas Cowboys: Joey Bosa DE Ohio State

A lot of people are bashing on Bosa saying he will not be able to compete at the next level. I still believe he is a threat and I do not understand how one day people say he is the best player in this draft and the next say he is a bust waiting to happen. Either way the Cowboys losing Hardy and the recent suspension of Randy Gregory sways the Cowboys to get a defensive end to try to help jumpstart a lackluster defense.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Myles Jack LB UCLA

Myles Jack may be the most talented player in this draft class. Jacksonville has come out and said they want to upgrade their front seven before their secondary. Myles Jack and Dante Fowler Jr. are two guys that can get that done. Jacksonville may be swayed to choose Ramsey being the best defensive back in the draft, but I think the talent Myles Jack brings makes it a tough decision for Jacksonville.

6. Baltimore Ravens: Jalen Ramsey DB Florida State

Some may say Ramsey falling to the Ravens is too big of a drop after his combine performance. But rarely defensive backs are taken that high on the draft board. Also other teams ahead of them have other needs to fill. I could see Myles Jack here as well. Ramsey with his freakish athletic ability will give the Ravens a defensive back as talented as they have ever seen since Ed Reed's departure.

Realistically, this is the only way Ramsey makes it to us without a trade lol. Still a long shot, but possible. atrick peterson did go #5 in 2011 in a loaded class so I think that he would br the best case to compare Ramsey's situation to.

Ramsey would have to get past chargers and jags. It's not likely but there's a small chance it could happen!

This is where im at.  I have him going to SD at 3, but if for some reason they pass on him, Jacksonville's biggest need is the secondary and Ramsey would make a huge impact.  If Ramsey is off the board, I could see them going VH3 and we get Bosa or Jack

The Jaguars are apparently on record for saying they want to improve their front seven. They're already pretty good, on the defensive line and Tevin Smith is a good WILL, but if we all love the versatility and coverage of Jack, don't you think the Jaguars will more? They run the 4-3 and that predominately uses the defensive line to rush, leaving the linebackers to cover and stop the run. Jack would be ideal.

And the Chargers could use some real help up front. I'm not sure they pass on Ramsey, but their defensive line, as well as offensive line, needs to be improved, especially since games are win and lost in the trenches.

Yes I agree Jaguars need front seven help, Cowboys need DE help with Hardy gone and Gregory out 10 games or whatever it was. San Diego could even go Stanley if they wanted. Honestly every year Phillip Rivers has no O-line. They can go several ways. I honestly think there is a good chance to get Ramsey. But if not I am good with Buckner, Jack, Ramsey, and Bosa.

Jack makes a lot of sense for JAX IMO. Jacksonville is just an obvious connection, he like was born to play there. I'll stop. 

Anyway, I think Dallas could also go for Ezekiel Elliott as a surprise pick. They could also go for Jack as well. I agree with you on SD as I see OL or DL for them. 

[L.A.Ravens]

Ramsey or Jack at 6 would be awesome. Wish that blocked return for touchdown against the browns didn't happen. Happy we swept the steelers tho.

would be awesome but I doubt it happens like that. What I could imagine would be the second best LT going top5. Maybe to the chargers. The OL is a joke...

Tennessee is basically a lock to get Tunsil. Cleveland is either going quarterback or Bosa. Chargers probably will go with Buckner, Stanley, or Ramsey, but in my opinion their DL and OL need more help. Hardy is not returning to Dallas and Gregory is suspended 10 games.. They have holes everywhere and may go quarterback. Jaguars are on paper saying they would rather go front seven than secondary. That may change if Ramsey is on the board but I think with Jack's versatility on the Jaguars defense may benefit them more. No one really knows until draft day but I do believe it is not farfetched to think that Ramsey can fall to 6. I doubt he falls farther than 6.... But just remember Leonard Williams was almost #1 on everyone's boards last year and he got drafted #6. Also defensive backs usually don't go top 5 very often. 

[PurpleNight12]

who ever knows with the jaguars.  But i think there is a true possibility of Ramsey going to the cowboys.  I have heard reports that ramsey may be on the top of their boards.
