2016 NFL Mock Draft Version 3.0: Picks #16-1
By jonfox
4. Baltimore Ravens: Emmanuel Ogbah, DL Oklahoma State.
This shouldn’t be a surprise. Ogbah is destroying good offensive linemen for the second season straight and should remind you of Michael Strahan.
He’s the total package in terms of a rusher and allows the Ravens to let Suggs retire. Even if they stick with the 3-4 defense, Ogbah’s size and skill set means he can do what Suggs did: stand up and blitz or be a down lineman who attacks.
3. Tennessee Titans: Laremy Tunsil, OL Ole Miss.
The Titans, Vikings and Browns are competing in the game “Who has the worst offensive line in the NFL.” Right now, the Browns are winning but Mariota’s body would beg to differ.
Tunsil is pro ready. He’s not Luke Joeckel but he’s not Trent Williams either. He’s a potential 7 year starter at left tackle.
2. San Diego Chargers: Joey Bosa, DL Ohio State
A straight “best player available pick.” Bosa doesn’t fill any other need than fixing a talent poor roster in LA….San Diego.
Team Bosa with Liuget and you have yourself the makings of a nice defensive front 7. Now if they could only fix the offensive line and edge rushers as well.
1. Cleveland Browns: Jared Goff, Qb California.
You have to feel for Goff, he’ll be asked to be the savior for a franchise which has crushed hopes and dreams for decades. They’ll need to reinforce the offensive line and Rbs or he’ll just be Tim Couch 2.0.
The Browns might choose Paxton Lynch due to the “California QB” perception. West Coast Qbs are believed not to have the arm strength to thrive in colder environments like Cleveland. Lynch has the bigger arm but Goff has less red flags.
