2016 TPSG NFL Mock Draft 5.0

The Tennessee Titans have traded the top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft to the Los Angeles Rams.  The Titans got a pretty big haul for that pick, props to them.  It does shake up my my mock draft though, so here's an update:
  1. Los Angeles Rams - Jared Goff - QB - California
  2. Cleveland Browns - Carson Wentz - QB - North Dakota State 
  3. San Diego Chargers - Jalen Ramsey - CB - Florida State 
  4. Dallas Cowboys - Joey Bosa - DE - Ohio State
  5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Myles Jack - OLB - UCLA
  6. Baltimore Ravens - Laremy Tunsil - OT - Mississippi 
  7. San Francisco 49ers - Deforest Buckner - DE - Oregon
  8. Philadelphia Eagles - Ezekiel Elliott - RB - Ohio State
  9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Vernon Hargreaves - CB - Florida
  10. New York Giants - Ronnie Stanley - OT - Notre Dame
  11. Chicago Bears -  Jarran Reed - DT - Alabama 
  12. New Orleans Saints - Sheldon Rankins - DT - Louisville 
  13. Miami Dolphins - Shaq Lawson - DE - Clemson
  14. Oakland Raiders - William Jackson III - CB - Houston 
  15. Tennessee Titans - Jack Conklin - OT - Michigan State
  16. Detroit Lions - Laquon Treadwell - WR - Mississippi 
  17. Atlanta Falcons - Reggie Ragland - LB - Alabama
  18. Indianapolis Colts - Taylor Decker - OT - Ohio State 
  19. Buffalo Bills - Robert Nkemdiche - DT - Mississippi 
  20. New York Jets - Paxton Lynch - QB - Memphis 
  21. Washington Redskins - Eli Apple - CB - Ohio State 
  22. Houston Texans - Will Fuller - WR - Notre Dame 
  23. Minnesota Vikings -  Josh Doctson - WR - TCU 
  24. Cincinnati Bengals - Corey Coleman - WR - Baylor  
  25. Pittsburgh Steelers - Artie Burns - CB - Miami 
  26. Seattle Seahawks - Jason Spriggs - OT - Indiana 
  27. Green Bay Packers - Andrew Billings - DT - Baylor 
  28. Kansas City Chiefs - Mackensie Alexander - CB - Clemson
  29. Arizona Cardinals - Ryan Kelly - C - Alabama 
  30. Carolina Panthers - Kevin Dodd - DE - Clemson  
  31. Denver Broncos - Chris Jones - DT - Mississippi State 
I suspect that there will be QB's taken at both the top spots of this years draft, the only question is if it's the Browns making one of those picks.  I'm thinking they'd like to trade down.  Personally, if I'm them, I keep the pick and take one of the QB's.  Laremy Tunsil looks like the biggest loser of that Titans/Rams trade, a fall from top pick to number 6 pick will cost him considerably.

It still sounds like the Vikings are leaning towards WR and if that's the case a bigger target seems to make the most sense, that means Josh Doctson or Laquon Treadwell in round 1.   If neither is available, I'm guessing they go BPA and I wouldn't be surprised if BPA means defense (i.e. Andrew Billings, Darron Lee, Leonard Floyd?).

I'm hearing a lot of heat around Ryan Kelly to the Arizona Cardinals, they reportedly really like him and he'd be a great fit for them, if he's available at the spot I think they take him.  That is, unless Paxton Lynch falls to them (which is more of a possibility after that Rams/Titans trade).  I wouldn't rule out a CB here either, or a pass rusher like Noah Spence.

For the record, the hardest guys for me to mock (i.e. first round talents, but no good fits) were Darron Lee, Leonard Floyd, Noah Spence & A'Shawn Robinson.  Any team being able to select one of these guys in round 2 will be getting very good value.

Previous Mocks:  1.02.03.0, 4.0
