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.

NFL Mock Draft

1 Tennessee Titans Laremy Tunsil OT Ole Miss
2 Cleveland Browns Jalen Ramsey DB Florida State
3 San Diego Chargers DeForest Buckner DE Oregon
4 Dallas Cowboys Joey Bosa DE Ohio State

6 Baltimore Ravens Myles Jack LB UCLA
7 San Francisco 49ers Jared Goff QB California
8 Philadelphia Eagles Ronnie Stanley OT Notre Dame
9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Shaq Lawson DE Clemson
10 New York Giants Darron Lee LB Ohio State
11 Chicago Bears Carson Wentz QB North Dakota State
12 New Orleans Saints Leonard Floyd LB Georgia
13 Miami Dolphins Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio State
14 Oakland Raiders Reggie Ragland LB Alabama
15 Los Angeles Rams Josh Doctson WR TCU
16 Detroit Lions Jack Conklin OT Michigan State
17 Atlanta Falcons Kevin Dodd DE Clemson
18 Indianapolis Colts Taylor Decker OT Ohio State
19 Buffalo Bills Sheldon Rankins DT Louisville
20 New York Jets Noah Spence LB Eastern Kentucky
21 Washington Redskins Eli Apple CB Ohio State
22 Houston Texans Corey Coleman WR Baylor
23 Minnesota Vikings Laquon Treadwell WR Ole Miss
24 Cincinnati Bengals Michael Thomas WR Ohio State
25 Pittsburgh Steelers William Jackson III CB Houston
26 Seattle Seahawks Cody Whitehair OG Kansas State
27 Green Bay Packers A'Shawn Robinson DT Alabama
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.

It only makes sense to everyone except you

So what defines "around draft time?"

I, generally, don't start making draft posts until after the end of the season. To me, "draft time" is the off-season process up through the draft.

At what point does it become practical to post draft related articles in the Lounge versus the Draft forum?

I must know this for future reference sensei.

Yes, because banning me makes oh so much sense because I'm arguing the reasons for posting in a sub-forum. Smart.

There are scant few articles I recall sitting in the Lounge about the draft. They got moved IIRC. Either way, I'll post it all, all year long. Prospect by prospect takes each in their own thread sound like a good plan.

You're threatening to spam the board because you don't agree with how it is moderated. Not smart.

I'm not arguing the moderators, just the method of the posters.

Either way, don't care anymore. I'm done with it. Dropping it. Carry on as normal.

Now dipshit. From after the bowl games, before senior bowl, combine, pro days.

You know when it actually matters.

First off, never said Sauto was being an ass. Don't think either of you are being an ass. (Well, maybe a little, but not the basis for my thoughts anyhow).

I believe that I was being logical.

My thoughts on the Lounge are that its for random shit that just kind of becomes that day's news and moves along. I prefer sub-forums for shit that you want to hang around for a while. Hence, the draft is a 3-4 month process and its nice to go and look at shit people posted without sorting through 45 pages of threads. I, personally, like to add to a post later on if there are new developments related to that post and don't want to have to remember it was in the Lounge and search for it for 10 minutes just to make the post.

Either way, it's pointless to argue it any longer. I've made my decision.

No ill will toward any of you.
