2016 NFL Mock Draft: Projections for Event's Fastest-Rising Prospects
By Ryan McCrystal , Featured Columnist Mar 30, 2016

We're entering in the final stages of the NFL draft evaluation process, with the main event now less than a month away.

But even in the final weeks, prospects are still jockeying for position on draft boards with some last-minute workouts, medical checks and interviews.

While NFL teams have strong opinions about prospects at this stage of the process, draft boards have yet to be finalized, which gives players a chance to rise or fall slightly in the coming weeks.

Here's a look at an updated mock draft followed by a breakdown of a few prospects who are on the rise.

2 Cleveland Browns Jalen Ramsey DB Florida State
3 San Diego Chargers DeForest Buckner DE Oregon
4 Dallas Cowboys Joey Bosa DE Ohio State

28 Kansas City Chiefs Mackensie Alexander CB Clemson
29 Arizona Cardinals Ryan Kelly C Alabama
30 Carolina Panthers Vonn Bell FS Ohio State
31 Denver Broncos Paxton Lynch QB Memphis

Notable Fast-Rising Prospects

WR Michael Thomas, Ohio State

Michael Thomas didn't put up huge numbers at Ohio State, primarily due to the presence of running back Ezekiel Elliott in the offense. But Keyshawn Johnson's nephew is among the hottest names in the draft and is a candidate to develop into an even better pro than he was a college receiver.

Thomas lacks elite speed and is primarily a possession receiver. To further boost his stock in that role, Thomas has been working to add weight this offseason, recently sharing that he had gained five pounds since the combine.

Based on Thomas' updated weight, Bleacher Report's Matt Miller shared a comparison of the measurables for Thomas and Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell:

Treadwell and Thomas both play similar roles, but the numbers advantage appears to go to Thomas.

According to Bleacher Report's Jason Cole, the Washington Redskins are among the teams that are high on Thomas as a first-round prospect.

CB William Jackson III, Houston

According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, William Jackson visited with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, a potential indication that the team could be interested in him with the 13th selection.

In this mock-draft scenario, the Dolphins land Ezekiel Elliott to fill their running back void, but if Elliott were off the board, Jackson would be a viable option at No. 13.

The rise of Jackson has coincided with the rise of Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves, who solidified himself as a potential top-10 selection with a dominant combine performance.

With Hargreaves and Florida State's Jalen Ramsey likely landing in the top 10, other franchises in the market for a cornerback are doing their homework on Jackson to determine if he's worthy of being the third cornerback off the board.

QB Carson Wentz, North Dakota State

Carson Wentz continues to ace every test thrown his way this offseason.

After wowing scouts at the Senior Bowl and then again at the combine, Wentz has checked off another box by scoring a 40 on his Wonderlic test, according to former NFL scout John Middlekauff:

The top 2 QBs in the draft dominated the Wonderlic

Wentz 40
Goff 36

— John Middlekauff (@JohnMiddlekauff) March 28, 2016
This news doesn't necessarily change Wentz's stock, but it's just another test he's passed with flying colors this offseason.

If teams were looking for reasons to doubt Wentz's ability to transition from the FCS to the NFL, he's hasn't given them any.

I'm saying he has no chance of making it to 28.

But I'd love to hear why you think the Rams, a team desperate for a QB, would pass him up?

Because Wentz and Goff are closer to starting from day 1 than Lynch is...and 1, if not both of them will be there at when they pick.

Lol Wentz? You think Wentz has a shot to make it to 15?

He's going #2.

As for Goff, I'd be shocked if he makes it past the 49ers at 7 and Eagles at 8.

Most people have the Rams taking Lynch? Wait, this can't be true. I was just told "most, if not all, mocks have him going outside the top 15".

That Others kid is really moving up the board.

O.city · 03-30-2016, 10:57 AM

I'd think the Rams would take a qb early, but they're dumb so who knows.

I'd like to see them roll with keenum just for entertainment purposes.

He had a great combine. Notice how he is on everybody's board?

Oh I'd never even try to talk football with someone who watches all the tape you do. We all know how all knowing you are, we've all heard it. I therefore run away afraid.

Lol that's what I thought. No take on the matter, you just wanted to give me shit for having an opinion.

Have a nice day loser.

I was making fun of the thread more than anything. I was mocking Laz because he said to start the mocking. I guess it isn't that funny if you have to explain it.

I don't care that you have an opinion. It's that other people's opinion that you make little of and make out that you're smarter than the rest. Or better yet, that they're stupid. Yeah, that's some quality conversation.

You have a nice day yourself.

I don't treat everybody that way, but if the shoe fits where it. I certainly didn't call Tomahawk any names, even though I disagree with his opinion.
