1st Round Mock 2.0 - Page 4

1. Cleveland Browns - Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
Cleveland will take the stud edge disrupter at #1. QB to come later, maybe.

2. San Francisco 49ers - Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford
Despite bringing in Hoyer (and having the who's who of NFL failures in Barkley, Ponder, and Gabbert), the 49ers need a long-term solution at QB. That said, all indications are that SF is enamored with Thomas and will wait on a QB.

3. Chicago Bears - Jamal Adams, S, LSU
The Bears have some young, developing corners, so they go for a tone-setting playmaker at safety to put next to their other quality starter in Adrian Amos.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars - O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
The Jaguars need to get Bortles more help, preferrably in the ground game, but Howard is a weapon that would add another dimension to their aerial attack while also improving their blocking in the run game.

5. Tennessee Titans (f/LAR) - Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
The Titans secondary was atrocious last season, so they could go anywhere at DB with this pick. I see them nabbing the drafts best CB in Lattimore and going safety later.

6. New York Jets - Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
Josh McCown isn't the long-term solution at QB for the Jets and he's basically all they have, unless you count Hackenberg... J-E-T-S go for Trubisky.

7. Los Angeles Chargers - Malik Hooker, FS, Ohio State
The Chargers spent a truckload on Okung to help their O-line, so I'd guess they'll try to improve the defensive secondary here. They look to replace the major loss they felt in letting Weddle walk with the play-maker, Hooker.

8. Carolina Panthers - Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
The loss of Josh Norman last year was huge. Carolina must add another legit CB on the outside or they'll get torched again.

9. Cincinnati Bengals - Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
The Bengals need to re-tool the front 7 and that starts with getting an edge rusher opposite Dunlap.

10. Buffalo Bills - John Ross, WR, Washington
The Bills absolutely need to add an explosive playmaker on one side of the ball or the other and there isn't anyone as explosive as Ross in this draft.
.
11. New Olreans Saints - Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama
The Saints need a leader and enforcer in the middle of their defense they haven't had since their Super Bowl run. If Foster checks out medically, he's easily the Saints' best option.

12. Cleveland Browns (f/PHI) - Jonathan Allen, DT, Alabama
Continuing the run on Alabama players, the Browns need a disruptive 3-technique to help in the transition to a 4-3 under new DC Gregg Williams. Allen's availability this late may largley depend on how teams view the QBs and his value versus defensive backs in this draft.

13. Arizona Cardinals - Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
With Larry Fitzgerald closing in on retirement and Malcolm Floyd gone to New England, the Cards really need a future #1 target. Davis is a savvy router runner with good speed and great hands.

14. Indianapolis Colts - Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA
The Colts need help protecting Andrew Luck, but that can come on day 2. They desperately need someone to rush the passer in Indy if they have any hopes of fielding a legit defense, and McKinley is exactly the type of player that can bring some heat.

15. Philadelphia Eagles (f/MIN) - Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
The Eagles really need a corner that they can rely on to be a shut-down type. Moreau doesn't generate many turnovers, but he's a lock-down cover corner that is tremendous in run support.

16. Baltimore Ravens - Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
The Ravens lack a sure-fire #1 receiver on offense as Perriman is more of a stretch-the-field #2 type. They have little after that with Mike Wallace being a bust. Joe Flacco would sure be happy to have a dependable target once again.

17. Washington Redskins - Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
The 'Skins could use a true workhorse running back to power their down-hill running game and Fournette provides exactly that. Fournette may be a bit overvalued because of what he lacks, but he does one thing well and that is run the rock straight down your throat. A perfect fit.

18. Tennessee Titans - Jabril Peppers, SS, Michigan
The Titans have established a physical presence offensively and I look for them to do the same on defense. After taking a lock-down press corner in Lattimore, they go for a rangy box defender in Peppers to help complete their secondary overhaul.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida
The Bucs desperately need a guy that can hold the fort next to stud Gerald McCoy and create some identity defensively. Brantley is a high-motor, impact player at the line that will shut down the run and create havok, which should help McCoy and their ends get home on more sacks.

20. Denver Broncos - Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
The Broncos added Menelik Watson to compete for the RT position with Stephenson, but neither can hold down the blind side. Denver gets the highest ranked tackle in the draft, but he comes with some risk.

21. Detroit Lions - Haason Reddick, OLB, Temple
The Lions must get better at OLB and DT in this draft as well as have those guys be able to bring additional heat on the QB. I see Reddick as a perfect fit at SOLB for their attacking 4-3 defensive scheme. Reddick has the athleticism to drop into coverage and could even take passing down snaps at DE.

22. Miami Dolphins - Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
The Dolphins have the potential for a host of needs defensively at LB and DL depending on what happens in free agency. I see the 'Phins targeting a young pass rusher given the age of Cameron Wake and Mario Williams.

23. New York Giants - David Njoku, TE, Miami
Sterling Shepherd had a solid rookie season, but there was little else in the passing game outside of the Odell Beckham universe. The Giants need to upgrade their horrendous TE position and add a threat in the middle. Njoku is young and raw, but he has elite level athleticism to burn the seams.

24. Oakland Raiders - Zach Cunningham, OLB, Vanderbilt
The Raiders boasted one of the league's worst linebacking corps last season, so there is no doubt they look to address it early and often.

25. Houston Texans - DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson
The Texans need a QB sooner than later and Watson is a leader that can step in early and provide a winning attitude.

26. Seattle Seahawks - Garett Bolles, OT, Utah
The Seahawks absolutely must get better at the tackle positions. Bolles isn't ready from a strength perspective, but he has elite movement skills with great size and shows plus technique. Strength won't be as big of an issue on the left side as it would on the right, so there's a solid chance he can be serviceable year one.

27. Kansas City Chiefs - Patrick Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech
The Chiefs don't have any major voids outside of ILB, which they could address on day 2 with the talent remaining at the position. With Alex Smith turning 33, it's time the Chiefs get serious about the future.

28. Dallas Cowboys - Obi Melifonwu, SS, Connecticut
After losing Berry Church in free agency, the Cowboys need to retool on the back end of their defense. Melifonwu is a big but ultra-athletic presence in the deep half.

29. Green Bay Packers - T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin
With Peppers set to retire and Nick Perry a free agent, its highly likely the Packers go for an edge rusher. Who better than a home-grown talent in T.J. Watt? Watt may have little experience, but he proved he could be an impact pass rusher in that time plus he plays well against the run and in space. Watt will certainly develop a pro physique with the help of his brothers, so there is little to worry about in that department.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers - Charles Harris, DE, Missouri
The Steelers need to think of the future behind the ageless wonder, James Harrison. Harris has an insane get-off and can bend the corner to get pressure on the QB. When he's bought into the scheme and allowed to wreak havok, he brings pressure as well as anyone in this draft.

31. Atlanta Falcons - Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
The Falcons need to add a pass rusher and Lawson is built in a similar mould as current Falcon Dwight Freeney.

32. New Orleans Saints (f/NE) - TreDavius White, CB, LSU
The Saints added a playmaker on the interior at #11 with ILB Reuben Foster, and now they look to bolster the outside with a cover corner to help their bad pass defense.

That's certainly possible but I would wager they grab Cooks over Ed junior. Oh. and they pick 8th.
