Sep 27, 2014; East Lansing, MI Michigan State Spartans quarterback Connor Cook (18) gestures from the field prior to the game against the Wyoming Cowboys at Spartan Stadium. Mike Carter-USA TODAY SportsAs the preseason progresses, it’s no different from the regular season in the fact that the fortunes of teams change. Not only based on performance but also injuries. Just one game into 2015 and already feelings have shifted about what could be to come next April when the draft returns to Chicago. This updated 2016 NFL mock draft will reflect those changes and those still unseen in the weeks and months to come.1 New York JetsConnor CookQB, Michigan StateDoubts continue to surface about Geno Smith as both a quarterback and a leader. His broken jaw incident may have been a big indication of that. It’s why the New York Jets take advantage of a down season to get his replacement. Connor Cook has some doubters when it comes to his accuracy, but the kid has size, talent and plays his best in big games (Rose and Fiesta Bowl victories). He should be an accomplished, polished gem by the time he declares.
Dec 7, 2013; Indianapolis, INOhio State Buckeyes defensive lineman Joey Bosa (97) tackles Michigan State Spartans quarterback Connor Cook (18) during the first quarter of the 2013 Big 10 Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports2 San Francisco 49ers Joey BosaDEPatrick Willis, Aldon Smith, and Justin Smith are just a few of the core defenders the San Francisco 49ers have lost in just this off-season. The cupboard that was once overflowing is suddenly almost empty. They need to reload. Joey Bosa may not be an ideal fit for their scheme, but the kid is rare breed of pass rusher who can impact games on his own. He’s physical and nasty, two things the Niners want in their defenders.
Dec 30, 2014; Nashville, TNNotre Dame Fighting Irish offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley (78) celebrates defeating the LSU Tigers 31-28 during the second half at LP Field. Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports 3 Tampa Bay BuccaneersRonnie StanleyOT, Notre DameThere is still a long way to go before Jameis Winston is ready to fulfill his potential as a quarterback. A big responsibility for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is put talent around him, specifically able blockers to keep him protected. Ronnie Stanley is among the most polished in the 2016 class and could start from Day 1. He also brings versatility, able to kick inside to guard if the situation required.
Nov 29, 2014; Tallahassee, FLFlorida State Seminoles defensive back Jalen Ramsey celebrates during the game against the Florida Gators at Doak Campbell Stadium. Melina Vastola-USA TODAY Sports 4 Tennessee TitansJalen RamseyDB, Florida StateThe Tennessee Titans used free agency to try improving what was a bad secondary last season. They may luck out with the moves paying off, but conventional wisdom says they may need help from a high draft choice. Jalen Ramsey would be as good as they could hope to get. The Florida State defensive back is capable of playing corner or safety, displays range and athleticism and the kind of instinct stars possess. A true difference-maker.
Jan 2, 2015; Tempe, AZ Oklahoma State Cowboys defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah (38) against the Washington Huskies in the 2015 Cactus Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium. Oklahoma State defeated Washington 30-22. Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports 5 New York GiantsEmmanuel OgbahDE, Oklahoma StateThat Jason Pierre-Paul injury means something. The New York Giants can’t deny it. They can’t trust he’ll be able to carry the pass rush like he has the past few seasons, meaning they will likely enter the 2016 draft looking for help in that area. Emmanuel Ogbah fits their type of player: big, physical, strong but retains a certain athleticism that sneaks up on blockers. He’s too streaky right now, but after this year he could be one of the prizes of the class.6 Washington RedskinsChristian HackenbergQB, Penn State7 Jacksonville JaguarsVernon Hargreaves IIICB, Florida8 Buffalo BillsJared GoffQB, Cal9 Chicago BearsLaremy TunsilOT, Ole Miss10 New Orleans SaintsJaylon SmithOLB, Notre DameFor every team....link
