Hello Audience, now that the NFL Season is over, here is an updated NFL Mock, with the official draft order.
1-Tampa Bay-Marcus Mariota,QB Oregon. Pretty Much everyone else is putting Jameis Winston here, the latter maybe more talented, but when comes to being smart, Mariota is light years ahead! Call me old school.
2-Tennessee- Randy Gregory,DE Nebraska. This is another pick that a lot of people will disagree with, based on what has happened with Jadeveon Clowney so far. Unlike Clowney, Gregory's draft stock is not based on one good game. I'm pretty sure Gregory won't go here, but the only other realistic option here is Jameis Winston, and I don't like him here.
3-Jax-Leonard Williams,DT USC. The Jaguars D-line still needs improvement, Williams is by far the cream of the crop at the position.
4-Oakland-Amari Cooper,WR Alabama. I strongly believe that with this pick, the Raiders will FINALLY have their go to guy at WR, after striking out on Andre Holmes, Denarius Moore, Darrius Heyward-Bey, etc.
5-Washington-Shane Ray,OLB Mizzou. This could be a possible landing spot for Jameis Winston, but the Redskins need to work on defense first.
6-Jets-Jameis Winston,QB Florida St. I mulled over this one for a long time. As much as I hate Winston, the Jets really have no choice but to hit reset, Geno Smith is not a starting QB.
7-Chicago-Landon Collins,S Alabama. Collins is a no brainer. Safety is the Bears biggest need, with Chris Conte quickly becoming old and battered.
8-Atlanta-Alvin "Bud" Dupree,DE Kentucky. Dupree's stock has really sky rocketed after an impressive showing at the East/West Shrine game, hopefully a solid showing at the Combine will confirm his potential.
9-Giants-Brandon Scherff,OT Iowa. It's quite simple, part of the reason the Giants offense was a complete disaster is because they have a weak O-line, Scherff will have an immediate impact.
10-Rams-Jacoby Glenn,CB Central Florida. If Glenn isn't the pick here, I'll be shocked, he is a tall corner, who can shutdown anyone, which is what the Rams need.
11-Vikings-Andrus Peat,OT Stanford. The Vikings need to get younger at O-line, they could take Brandon Scherff, if he is available.
12-Cleveland-Devante Parker,WR Louisville. The reasoning for this pick is quite simple, Their most talented receiver, Josh Gordon just got suspended for all of the 2015 season. Also, their QB, Johnny Manziel just entered rehab. The Browns offense has a lot of question marks right now...
13-N'awlins-Dante Fowler Jr.,DE Florida, Fowler is exactly what the Saints need to stop Matt Ryan, a supremely talented edge rusher with the speed and strength to beat anyone on the outside. The knock on him is that he does have an injury history.
14-Miami-Shaq Thompson,OLB U of Washington. Thompson is one of the most talented players in this years draft, ANY position. Why is he ranked down here? because he's only been a linebacker for two years [he used to be an RB]. Hopefully a strong showing at the Combine will help his draft stock.
15-San Fran.-Kevin White,WR West Virginia. Wide Receiver is the 49'ers biggest need by far.
16-Houston-Danny Shelton,NT U of Washington. Shelton would fill a big hole for the Texans' defense. The mere thought of him being on the same field as J.J. Watt is exciting!
17-Melvin Gordon,RB Wisconsin. With this pick, the Chargers would strike gold. It's been clear for three years now that Ryan Mathews is not capable of staying healthy for an entire season. Gordon is the kind of player who can make the entire offense look better. I would not be surprised if his stock went up after the Combine.
18-Kansas City-Dorial Green-Beckham,WR Oklahoma. If you read my last mock draft, then you know all about DGB, if you didn't, here is a recap, DGB spent two and half years at three different schools [Mizzou,Eastern Illinois, and Oklahoma] due to shall we say... character issues. In fact, Green-Beckham never actually played for Oklahoma. When he is on the field, he does possess first round skills. This is the kind of player that Andy Reid likes to take a chance on. The Chiefs are really desperate at WR.
19-Seattle [via CLE/BUF]-Vic Beasley,OLB Clemson. Here I have Cleveland and Seattle swapping 1st and 3rd round picks. The players on the Browns' board at this point don't really fit their needs.
20-Philly-P.J. Williams,CB Florida St. It's hard to imagine that after several years, the Secondary is STILL a need for the Eagles, considering all the players they have gone through at the position.
21-Cincy-Eric Kendricks,ILB UCLA. The other option here is Vic Beasley, but he is not available.
22-Pittsburgh-Arik Armstead,DT Oregon. The Steelers could go CB here, but for now, Armstead is a solid pick.
23-Detroit-Malcolm Brown,DT Texas. Brown is an easy pick here. Nick Fairley can't stay healthy,and "Dumb Dumb" Suh is likely to leave via free agency.
24-Arizona-Ereck Flowers,OT U of Miami. The reason the Cardinals went through three QB's this season is because of their porous O-line. Even with Jonathon Cooper back in the mix, [hopefully] much help is still needed.
25-Carolina-Jaelen Strong,WR Arizona St. I have liked Strong ever since his monster year in 2012. Unfortunately, a knee injury de railed his 2013 season, but he bounced back very nicely. He could end up being the best receiver in this years draft.
26-Baltimore-Benardrick McKinney,OLB Mississippi St.
27-Dallas-Trae Waynes,CB Michigan St. When you're in the same division as Eli and.. whoever the Eagles QB is, you have to have a talented secondary, the Cowboys don't have that.
28-Denver-Eddie Goldman,DT Florida St.
29-Indy-Gerrod Holliman,S Louisville
30-Green Bay-Cedric Obughei,OT Texas A&M. If the Packers don't improve their O-line, Aaron Rodgers won't finish 2015,put simply...
31-New England-Devin Funchess,TE/WR U of Michigan. I thought about moving Funchess up a spot. Funchess is a natural Tight End with the ball skills of a receiver, ala Jimmy Graham.
32-Cleveland [via SEA/BUF]-Michael Bennett,DT Ohio St.
