2016 NFL Mock Draft: Updated Top 10 with Trade Predictions:The 2016 NFL Draft is less than a week away, and considering the first two picks have already been traded, it only seems right that my latest mock draft includes other trades that I think could happen to further shake up the top 10 Thursday night.
Of course, nothing is set and stone with any pick, but it gets a little easier to read between the lines as the pre-draft process goes on longer and longer. With that in mind, here is a complete look at my updated top 10.
- Los Angeles Rams: Jared Goff, QB, California
It seems like Goff to the Rams is becoming the worst-kept secret in the NFL. Even beat writers that initially believed Carson Wentz was the pick have been putting their money on Goff. This seems like a done deal at this point.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
The Eagles made it clear that they felt confident in either Wentz or Jared Goff with this pick, so with Goff off the board, Wentz becomes the pick by default
- San Diego Chargers: Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida State
After spending a decent chunk of money on the offensive line in the offseason, the Chargers seem more likely to upgrade their secondary with Ramsey than add to the O-line with Laremy Tunsil. The loss of safety Eric Weddle and the overall poor state of their defense will factor into the choice, as well.
- Dallas Cowboys: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
You can almost see Jerry Jones pushing for Ezekiel Elliott, and while he would likely shine in the offense, Bosa fits the Cowboys 4-3 base defense and is one of the safest bets to be a productive NFL starter. More importantly, he would be a much-needed addition to a mediocre Dallas front that has little in the way of depth.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA
Teams seem to differ wildly on the seriousness of his knee injury, but the Jaguars’ staff has put Jack through extensive drills and have raved about him throughout the draft process. I think they pull the trigger.
- Baltimore Ravens: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
Tunsil falls into Baltimore’s lap, and the Ravens won’t think twice to fortify their offensive line with one of the best prospects in the entire draft. With Joe Flacco coming off an injury, keeping him upright is as important as ever.
- Tennessee Titans (Trade): Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
The Titans haven’t been shy about their desire to trade back into the top 10 and select an offensive tackle, and with Tunsil off the board, I expect them to jump ahead of Cleveland to make sure they land Stanley to protect Marcus Mariota. The 49ers should be willing partners since they can address their need at receiver with the No. 15 pick and land some extra assets.
- Cleveland Browns: DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
Cleveland has plenty of needs, but Buckner is easily the best player available at this point in the draft, and it’s not like the Browns couldn’t use a dominant pass-rusher off the edge.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Leonard Floyd, LB, Georgia
The front office has made it clear that they want to upgrade the pass rush by any means necessary, and a speedy, explosive edge-rusher like Floyd is exactly what the Buccaneers need.
- Miami Dolphins (Trade): Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State
Miami has gushed over Elliott throughout the pre-draft process, and after letting Lamar Miller go in the offseason, grabbing a workhorse like Elliott will be worth an extra pick or two to move up three spots.
