This is a reverse mock meaning the draft order is going to be flipped so the Broncos will be picking first and the Titans will be picking last. I am going to just give the Patriots their first round pick because I don't feel like doing 2 rounds.
1) Denver Broncos (12-4) – Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
This would be a no brainer for the Broncos, Peyton retired, Brock took his sandy vagina and left so they need a new QB. It's Wentz or Goff, whoever they like more.
2) Carolina Panthers (15-1) - Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss
Their OL was exposed by the Broncos so a franchise LT like Tunsil would be a wet dream for the Panthers.
3) Arizona Cardinals (13-3) - Jared Goff, QB, California
This is a tough one for me. Throw Ramsey or Hargreaves into a secondary that already has a ton of talent, put Jack into that LB corps or add another pass rusher in Bosa. But I think the Cardinals would opt for the QB option. You can get secondary guys throughout this entire draft and there's a ton of DL and LB talent but potential franchise Qbs aren't everywhere.
4) New England Patriots (12-4) - Ezekiel Elliot, RB, Ohio State
This was another difficult pick but here me out. Brady won't be around forever and as of now, they don't have any real running back, just some solid pass catchers out of the backfield. I know they have the sex god Jommy Garoppogod ready to come in and make people say Brady who? But it would be so much easier for everyone if they were able to have a solid, established ground game with a workhorse running back already in place for the day Brady retires. Zeke will be that guy.
5) Kansas City Chiefs (11-5) - Jalen Ramsey, FS, Florida State
They were able to keep Berry with the franchise tag, Cardinals stole Branch and Abdullah is on the rapid decline, getting another stud safety like Ramsey to pair with Berry would be ideal for the Chiefs.
6) Green Bay Packers (10-6) - Myles Jack, ILB, UCLA
Be careful not to wet yourselves Packer buzzins.
7) Seattle Seahawks (10-6) - Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame
Another tough one but that OL is the #1 priority for the Seahawks and the difference between Stanley and Tunsil is very minimal. Losing Okung hurts, they didn't sign anyone really worthwhile so getting a new franchise LT is a must.
8) Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6) - Vernon Hargreaves III, CB, Florida
This is another no brainer. One of the worst secondaries getting the “top” corner in the draft.
9) Cincinnati Bengals (12-4) - Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State
Bengals could go in a few different ways but going BPA is the smart move plus it still fills a need.
10) Minnesota Vikings (11-5) - Leonard Floyd, OLB, Georgia
Pairing Floyd up with Kendricks and Barr would be dirty.
11) Houston Texans (9-7) - DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon
Houston would be the best situation all around for Buckner imo. Buckner can be very good but if he's counted on to be “the guy” then he will likely fail. But you throw him onto a defense with the single best player in the NFL, he'll be able to play off of JJ and perform much better than most expect.
12) Washington Redskins (9-7) - Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama
I mean it's their #1 need so.....
13) New York Jets (10-6) - Shaq Lawson, DE/OLB, Clemson
Any LB, doesn't matter which one, just the top LB is all lol.
14) Buffalo Bills (8-8) - Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State
Proper replacement for Mario. These middle picks kind of suck for this because things aren't really too different. Name's might flip around but positions are kind of the same for the most part for a lot of these teams.
15) Indianapolis Colts (8-8) - William Jackson, CB, Houston
Jackson is imo the #1 corner in this draft class so difficult to pass for the Colts.
16) Atlanta Falcons (8-8) - Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
Treadwell and Julio would remind me a lot of Fitz and Q, the perfect compliments to each other.
17) Detroit Lions (7-9) - A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama
This is ridiculous value for Detroit. Robinson is a top 5-10 talent so getting him here and properly replacing Suh would be perfect.
18) Los Angeles Rams (7-9) - Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
Difficult to be successful without a franchise QB.
19) Oakland Raiders (7-9) - Darron Lee, LB, Ohio State
Lee is a very versatile LB so he can pretty much be plugged in at nearly any LB position on any team.
20) Miami Dolphins via Philadelphia (7-9) – Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State
The Dolphins absolutely have to improve their interior line.
21) New Orleans Saints (7-9) - Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
New Orleans should be happy to take Rankins at their regular draft spot (pick #12) so getting him at #21 should be a no brainer.
22) Chicago Bears (6-10) - Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson
They need a pair of DEs to put around Goldman and like the Saints, Dodd could be a realistic pick for the Bears at their real pick.
23) New York Giants (6-10) - Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State
Drafting Conklin would allow them to move Flowers to RT where he will likely be better suited and really help Eli out a lot with better protection.
24) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-10) - Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
They made a few signings this off season but they still need help at corner. Fuller is arguably the BPA at this point so it's a solid selection.
25) Philadelphia Eagles via Miami (6-10) - Germain Ifedi, OT/G, Texas A&M
Ifedi can play RT or either guard position so he can play guard now and then RT when Johnson moves to LT when Peters is gone or just stay at guard. Gives them versatility for the future.
26) San Francisco 49ers (5-11) - Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame
It doesn't matter who's playing QB if they have no one to throw the ball too. Plus there's no QB worth selecting here.
27) Baltimore Ravens (5-11) - Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State
Even with the Wright signing they still need help at corner.
28) Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) - Jonathan Bullard, DE, Florida
Going to get Fowler back so pair him up with his old teammate.
29) Dallas Cowboys (4-12) - Robert Nkemdiche, DE/DT, Ole Miss
Character concerns don't bother the Cowboys much so I think they'll happily take Nkemdiche if he's available (in the real draft at their second round pick).
30) San Diego Chargers (4-12) - Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State
He's not Tunsil or Stanley but he's an upgrade for their OL and they need tons of OL help.
31) Cleveland Browns (3-13) - Noah Spence, DE/OLB, Eastern Kentucky
Cleveland simply has to load up on as much talent as possible so taking a chance on a guy like Spence would be ideal for them.
32) Tennessee Titans (3-13) - Keanu Neal, FS, Florida
They're likely going to take Ramsey at #1 overall so taking Neal at #32 overall isn't a bad trade off. I think there is a fairly small gap between Neal and Ramsey.
