Mock Draft Monday: 3-Round Mock Draft 2.0Apr 20, 2015Justin Pawlowski @CommishOnlineHere is The Commish's latest full 3-round mock draft.Here is my updated look at how the first 3 rounds of the draft could wrap up:Tampa Bay Buccaneers1st Round: Jameis Winston - QB - FSU2nd Round: T.J. Clemmings - OT - Pitt3rd Round: Nate Orchard - DE - UtahCommish's Take: It might seem boring that the same names continue to come up for the Buccaneers, but the good news for Bucs fans is that they are the right names. Clemmings can step in at right tackle, while Demar Dotson slides to left tackle. Orchard has received a ton of attention by the Bucs. He could provide a legit edge rush from right defensive end. As for Jameis Winston, I just don't think there has been any legit news to show that the Bucs would go in any other direction.Tennessee Titans1st Round: Marcus Mariota - QB - Oregon2nd Round: Preston Smith - DE - Mississippi State3rd Round: Daryl Williams - OT - OklahomaCommish's Take: I'm not sure if the Titans make the pick of Mariota, but he could very well go 2nd overall. There is the possibility that I'm buying into this over-publicized praise of Mariota as the 2nd pick in the draft. None-the-less, Mariota provides the Titans with a true face of their franchise. Preston Smith helps Dick Lebeau's and Rex Horton's 3-4 defense with his power from the end position. Williams is a massive right tackle and fills a big void for the Titans.Jacksonville Jaguars1st Round: Dante Fowler Jr - EDGE - Florida2nd Round: Cedric Ogbuehi - OT - Texas A&M3rd Round: Jay Ajayi - RB - Boise StateCommish's Take: I'm not buying the recent chatter relating to the many different players the Jaguars could take. Fowler can be an impact pass rusher and big time leader for Gus Bradley's defense. Ogbuehi is extremely talented, but is coming off a torn ACL. Ajayi gives the Jaguars a legit feature back.Oakland Raiders1st Round: Leonard Williams - DE - USC2nd Round: Jaelen Strong - WR - Arizona State3rd Round: Tre Jackson - OG - FSUCommish's Take: This would be another stellar draft by the Raiders. Williams is considered by many as the best player in the draft. On offense, Strong and Jackson immediately help your young quarterback in Derek Carr.Washington Redskins1st Round: Shane Ray - EDGE - Missouri2nd Round: Stephone Anthony - LB - Clemson3rd Round: Rob Havenstein - OT - WisconsinCommish's Take: New defensive coordinator Joe Barry has ties to the 4-3 defense and the 3-4 defense. The advantage Ray gives over Vic Beasley is that Shane Ray brings scheme versatility and the ability to get to the quarterback in any defense. Anthony provides athleticism and leadership to the middle of the Redskins defense. Havenstein battles imemdiately with Morgan Moses to start at right tackle.New York Jets1st Round: Vic Beasley - EDGE - Clemson2nd Round: Laken Tomlinson - OG - Duke3rd Round: Ameer Abdullah - RB - NebraskaCommish's Take: Todd Bowles first draft as head coach of the draft is played well and played safe. Beasley, Tomlinson, and Abdullah all have great talent and tremendous character.Chicago Bears1st Round: Amari Cooper - WR - Alabama2nd Round: Eddie Goldman - DT - FSU3rd Round: Danielle Hunter - EDGE - LSUCommish's Take: If you can't replace Jay Cutler, you might as well get him one of the best weapons in the draft. On defense, the Bears benefit from a slight slip for Goldman to bolster their defensive line. The Bears also take a chance on the very raw, but very talented, Danielle Hunter.Atlanta Falcons1st Round: Bud Dupree - EDGE - Kentucky2nd Round: Eric Kendricks - LB - UCLA3rd Round: TJ Yeldon - RB - AlabamaCommish's Take: The Falcons aren't that far removed from being a playoff contender. They do need help in their secondary, but more than that, they need an identity on defense. Dan Quinn gets his big pass rusher to mold in Dupree and his athletic linebacker to lead in the middle in Kendricks. Yeldon is an excellent fit in Kyle Shanahan's zone run scheme.New York Giants1st Round: Danny Shelton - DT - Washington2nd Round: Owa Odighizuwa - DE - UCLA3rd Round: Ali Marpet - OG - HobartCommish's Take: Steve Spagnolo is back as Giants defensive coordinator. The last time he was there, the Giants had one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. The Giants should not over think their 1st round pick. Danny Shelton is massive and strong. He'll immediately help one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. Odighizuwa is a raw pass rusher who might remind some of a young Jason Pierre-Paul. Ali Marpet is your typical Tom Coughlin offensive lineman.St. Louis Rams1st Round: Kevin White - WR - West Virginia2nd Round: Shaq Thompson - LB/S - Washington3rd Round: Quentin Rollins - CB/S - Miami (OH)Commish's Take: The Raws love taking talented players who have a ton of potential. All three of their picks are players who could end up being much better professional players than they were in college.For the complete first round....link
