The sometimes but not always Annual Will Soistman NFL Mock
Draft 2016 Edition
1. LA
Rams – Jared Goff QB
I fully
expect the Rams to do something weird, like take an O lineman or another
running back just so they can go 8-8 with Jeff Fisher
2.
Philadelphia Eagles – Carson Wentz QB
The
Eagles WENT(z) up and traded to get their small time big time guy to go along
with their other big time QBs to form a triple threat to the likes no one has
EVER SEEN.
3. San
Diego Chargers – Jalen Ramsey CB
The
Chargers have had a bunch of shrubs and scrubs on their DLine for a while, but
they shock the world and draft someone for one of the few areas they are
actually competent in. Replacement for Eric Weddle?
4. Dallas
Cowboys – Ezekiel Elliott RB
The
Cowboys could go a lot of ways here but adding another weapon to the offense
should help Tony Romo in the 7 games he plays
5. Jax
Jaguars – Joey Bosa DE
The Jaguars are quietly building a
solid defense to go along with their high scoring offense. With Bosa and last
years pick Fowler on the D line, they could be scary for the AFC South
6.
Baltimore Ravens – DeForest Buckner DE
Just
classic Ravens. Sit and wait and probably get the best player in this draft for
the next 10 years just because of people ahead of them selecting BPA instead of
needs
7. New
York Giants (Trade with 49ers) – Laremy Tunsil OT
The
Giants trade up to get the best offensive lineman in the draft. Eli Manning
will have plenty of time to light up the laramies with this boy standing up
front
8.
Cleveland Browns – Josh Doctson WR
Terrelle
Pryor is the Browns current #1 receiver. I want to joke about that, but I
can’t. It’s too sad.
9. Tampa
Bay Buccaneers – Myles Jack LB/DE
Gerald
McCoy is the only person people can name on this defensive line. Let’s add
another with this edge rusher that can wreak havoc like a true pirate, even if
he may have a peg leg
10. San
Francisco 49ers (from New York Giants) – Corey Coleman WR
The 49ers
got to get some more weapons for… Blaine Gabbert? Coleman is a player that can
make dudes miss which he will have to do plenty of with the 5 yard passes he
will be catching
11.
Chicago Bears – Ronnie Stanley OT
The Bears
offense should be better this year with the return of Kevin White who missed
all of last year with injuries and now a stud tackle to let Jay Cutler have
just enough time to throw a couple more interceptions
12. New
Orleans Saints – Shaq Lawson DE
Shaq
always said he loved the Big Easy and now they get baby Shaq. Him and Cam
Jordan should make quite the pass rush duo down south.
13. Miami
Dolphins – Chris Jones DT
The
Dolphins add another Big Dude (like big) to go along with Suh on the DLine.
Opponents would literally have to run through these mammoths to get any sort of
yards.
14.
Oakland Raiders – Sheldon Rankins DT
The
Raiders continue their draft success with a name that isn’t flashy but will get
the job done. Don’t be surprised to see this team make the playoffs with the
start of a draft like this.
15.
Tennessee Titans – William Jackson CB
The
Titans got a lot of picks from the Rams and the Titans need every single one of
them. They have a ton of holes and corner is one of them. Thankfully one of the
best is there for the taking although the competition Jackson faced wasn’t
necessarily the best.
16.
Detroit Lions – Jack Conklin OT
Michigan
State product Conklin stays in the state and gets the gorgeous landscape of
Motown where the heart of downtown is filled with White Castles and Firestone
tire shops.
17.
Atlanta Falcons – Cody Whitehair OG
Yawn
right? But this is what wins games, the trenches. Good ol trench warfare. The
Falcons don’t need to be flashy as Julio Jones has plenty of flash for the
offense
18.
Indianapolis Colts – Jarran Reed DT
The Colts
taking a defensive player this early in the draft is the biggest upset so far.
They love trying to make Luck better, but what they need are some big bodies to
help on the other side of the ball.
19.
Buffalo Bills – Leonard Floyd OLB/DE
Sexy Rexy
at the helm again and he gets another toy to play with. He needs to replace
Mario Williams with an up and comer and Sugar Ray Leonard Floyd Mayweather has
just the PUNCH they need
20. New
York Jets – Mackenzie Alexander CB
BECAUSE
WHY NOT. ANOTHER CORNER/Defensive player for a team that never thinks they need
to do anything on offense. They can never have another corners apparently
21. The
Washington Professional Football Team – Karl Joseph S
With the
team getting Josh Norman at corner, that solidifies a position of need so now
to keep working on the backend and get younger and more skill players.
Washington has literally had the worst safeties so anything better than
terrible is an upgrade
22.
Houston Texans – LaQuan Treadwell WR
Ive seen
people saying the Texans need a speedy receiver to spread the field out for
Hopkins and other players. But if you can have TWO DeAndre Hopkins, wouldn’t
that be better? Osweiler will be thanking his lucky stars if the Texans grab
this stud
23.
Minnesota Vikings – Sterling Shepard WR
Probably
the most consistent wide receiver in college goes to a team the desperately
needs consistence at the position. Can Sterling be more than Silver for the
Vikings?
24.
Cincinnati Bengals – Leonte Caroo WR
The wide
receivers are disappearing before our eyes! The sure handed Caroo missed games
in his college career but can be a great weapon to the Red Rockets arsenal and
give that offense a little boost that they need
25.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Reggie Ragland LB
Just
another LB to head to the promised land. The Steelers can easily rotate Ragged
Reggie into their sub packages and wreak havoc on unsuspecting quarterbacks
throughout the season.
26.
Seattle Seahawks – Jason Spriggs OT
The
Seahawks don’t have anyone playing their offensive line. Injuries, Retirements,
Free Agents, all they have left are a bunch of bums and French dudes. Spriggs
can the new kid on the block to protect Russell Wilson’s package
27. Green
Bay Packers – Hunter Henry TE
Time to
give A A RON some more toys. Jordy Nelson will return this year and young
Hunter will help be a safety release for Rodgers, although he will never need
one. The Packers are always on the hung and HH will be there for the taking
28.
Kansas City Chiefs – Eli Apple CB
The loss
of Sean Smith is huge for this defense. Itd be great to land a receiver to help
the offense out but the run on receivers earlier left the Chiefs no choice but
to grab the last top CB off their board.
29.
Arizona Cardinals – Ryan Kelly C
Who
doesn’t love R Kelly? A solid staple of an offensive line is built around the
Center position and the Cardinals were lacking in this department last season.
R Kelly hot and fresh out the kitchen for Bruce Arians and this potent offense
30.
Carolina Panthers – Emmanuel Ogbah DE
Charles
Johnson is aging and the Panthers were using Jared Allen as a primary pass
rusher last season. What better name/athlete to team up with Star Lutoulellei
than someone named OGBAH. Great value for the NFC champions
31.
Denver Broncos – Jonathan Bullard DT
The
Broncos try to improve their defense even more by grabbing a big ol boy to clog
the middle of the run lanes. The Brahma Bull returns to lovely Denver Colorado
and tries to help the champs repeat in 2016.
