2016 DRAFTHere is how I currently see the top picks going when all is said and done..1 - TENN trades to New Orleans who selects QB JARED GOFF New Orleans is able to swap positioning with Tenn at the expense of their 2nd and 3rd round picks as well as their 1st in 2017. Brees could be traded shortly after, but most likely would stick around and help groom Goff as the eventual successor ala Favre/Rodgers...2 - CLE selects QB CARSON WENTZ The Browns were sweating it when New Orleans traded up into the first pick, but they end up getting Wentz who was their guy all along. Wentz will pair well with Hugh Jackson in Cleveland and maybe, just maybe, lead the Browns out of the basement.3 - SD selects OT LAREMY TUNSIL Philip Rivers deserves a shot at one last super bowl run, but that's never going to happen if he never gets any help from his O Line. The Chargers would have been happy to select Ronnie Stanley out of Notre Dame, but Tunsil falls into their laps and they run to the podium to lock in their future LT.4 - DAL selects LB MYLES JACK Many will expect Joey Bosa to come off the board here, and it makes sense. Greg Hardy didn't work out and isn't coming back to the team, Randy Gregory is looking like the head case most teams thought he would be when they avoided his talent last year. All that said, I think Dallas could really use a playmaking coverage linebacker like Jack and would be smart to make that move. Then again, this is Dallas... they could end up drafting RB Alex Collins at pick number four.. you never really know. I hate to admit it, but my gut instinct says they take Jalen Ramsey, here's to hoping I'm wrong.5 - JAX selects DE JOEY BOSA Jacksonville probably didn't expect Bosa to be available, but they will gladly accept the gift. Ramsey could be in play here, as they certainly need help in the secondary, but Bosa is probably the higher ranking player on their board, and with Dante Fowler in the media in a bad way lately, not to mention the fact that he's never made it through as much as an nfl mini camp... Bosa would have to be the pick6 - BAL selects OLB LEONARD FLOYD Perfect scheme fit and a versatile, playmaking defender. Floyd is somewhat under the radar in the mainstream online draft community, but I have NO doubt that Harbaugh and company are doing their due diligence when it comes the Georgia edge rusher. They would groom him as their Suggs replacement being an outside linebacker who can really get after the quarterback on passing downs. Once more, Jalen Ramsey is in play, but the Ravens take Floyd anticipating several quality options at DB in round 2 and 3.7 - SF selects DL DEFOREST BUCKNER Chip is probably wrecked that he wasn't able to land Goff.. He probably thought he could stay put and land his guy, instead, with so many holes on the team he'll go after BPA and who better than an Oregon Duck? Buckner pairs with his former teammate Erik Armstead to anchor the DL in San Fran for years to come. 8 - MIA selects RB EZEKIEL ELLIOT In what may be a bit of a surprise pick, MIA takes the best running back in the draft. Let's be clear, Miami brought in Gase to be the QB whisperer to their former 1st round pick and 20 million dollar man Ryan Tannehill. Picking up a ground and pound back like Elliott would be the best and fastest way to improve the QB play. Taking pressure off of Tannehill will help, and Elliott brings so much more to the table from his catching to his blocking, he will be a great player for a long time wearing teal and orange.9 - TB selects DB JALEN RAMSEY Jason Licht and Jameis Winston must be doing backflips at One Buc at this point, Ramsey is going to be a Buccaneer and we didn't even have to trade up to get him. Ramsey comes into Tampa as a versatile defensive back capable of locking his man down at corner, ala Richard Sherman, or manning the backfield making plays at safety like Kam Chancellor. Difference maker all the way. Of course Noah Spence was an option as the Bucs need DE help, but with Olivier Vernon in free agency and Shilique Calhoun possibly available in round 2, Ramsey is a no brainer.
