Mike Kaye and Josh Collacchi combined for a two-round mock draft with trades.
Take a look!
The Eagles pick at 22.
Pick | Team | Selection | Analyst | Comments | Trade Details |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Houston Texans | Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina | Josh | Clowney is the best player in this draft, hands down. | |
2 | Cleveland Browns (via STL from WAS) | Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida | Mike | The Browns have to settle the quarterback position and have an extra 1st round pick to fall back on for another position, so it's time to pull the trigger. | CLE gets: 2nd overall, STL gets: 4th and 35th overall |
3 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville | Josh | Jaguars finally get their quarterback of the future. | |
4 | St. Louis Rams (via CLE) | Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn | Mike | The Rams get who they wanted to begin with and picked up another 2nd round pick, which ain't too shabby. | |
5 | St. Louis Rams (via OAK) | Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo | Josh | The Rams got who they wanted at two with Robinson anyway, then moved up with the 2nd they acquired to solidify the best front seven in the NFL. | STL gets: 5th overall, OAK gets 13th overall 35th overall, 2015 4th |
6 | Atlanta Falcons | Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M | Mike | The Falcons have collected weapons for Matt Ryan, so now it's about time they started protecting him in the pocket. | |
7 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson | Josh | With or without Mike Williams, Watkins is the best player on the board for the Bucs. | |
8 | Minnesota Vikings | CJ Mosley, LB, Alabama | Mike | The Vikings need a new centerpiece for their defense and Mosley can play MIKE or WILL for Mike Zimmer, as well as be a leader in the locker room. | |
9 | Buffalo Bills | Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan | Josh | May be a bit of a reach, but the Bills need to shore up that offensive line. | |
10 | Detroit Lions | Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State | Mike | Since the Lions improved wide receiver in free agency, they solidify the cornerback position in the first round in the draft with few teams willing to trade up. | |
11 | Tennessee Titans | Jason Verrett, CB, TCU | Josh | Why not replace Verner with a better version of him? | |
12 | New York Giants | Zach Martin, OT, Notre Dame | Mike | Martin's versatility will allow the Giants to plug and play him at literally any spot on the offensive line and New York could use competition at all spots. | |
13 | Oakland Raiders (via STL) | Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M | Josh | The Raiders get the playmaker they need, and a big-time red zone threat. | |
14 | Chicago Bears | HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama | Mike | When your defense is giving away play after play, you need an enforcer who can stop the run and excel in coverage. | |
15 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State | Josh | The Steelers need secondary help, bad. Gilbert brings them a terrific athlete who plays cornerback. | |
16 | Dallas Cowboys | Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA | Mike | The Tampa 2 defense needs its Derrick Brooks and Barr could turn into that player for the Cowboys with his athletic presence and versatility. | |
17 | Baltimore Ravens | Morgan Moses, OT, Virginia | Josh | Moses can play either of the tackle positions, and will be an instant starter at right tackle for the Ravens. | |
18 | New York Jets | Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State | Mike | The Jets really could have used a cornerback here but the value just isn't there, so they decided to upgrade their receiver unit with a younger Santonio Holmes. | |
19 | Miami Dolphins | Xavier Su'a-Filo, G, UCLA | Josh | Su'a-Filo gives the Dolphins an instant starter that will be a force for ten years. | |
20 | New England Patriots (via ARZ) | Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh | Josh | Donald is a tad undersized, but Belichick will let him do what he does best, and what a player he can be. | Cardinals get: 29th and 93rd overall picks, Pats get 20th |
21 | Green Bay Packers | Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois | Josh | Ward can do anything a safety needs to do, and he does it well. Packers shore up their secondary here. | |
22 | Philadelphia Eagles | Dee Ford, OLB/DE, Auburn | Mike | The Eagles would like to trade back and get a wide receiver along with some more picks, but they are happy with their new pass rusher, who could develop into a 10-12 sacks per year player. | |
23 | Kansas City Chiefs | Odell Beckham, WR, LSU | Josh | Beckham is a very good route runner, and will get himself open each play for Alex Smith. | |
24 | Cincinnati Bengals | Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri | Mike | The loss of Michael Johnson leaves the Bengals without a talented young defensive end, but they have quickly filled that need with the talented former SEC sack monster. | |
25 | San Diego Chargers | Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech | Josh | The Chargers desperately need cornerback help, and Fuller is the best on the board. | |
26 | Cleveland Browns (via IND) | Marqise Lee. WR, USC | Mike | The Browns have a need opposite of Josh Gordon and Lee would fit in well with the Mike Shanahan offense. | |
27 | New Orleans Saints | Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State | Josh | Benjamin has some flaws, but nothing that Drew Brees will not be able to minimize. The Saints are now unstoppable in the red zone. | |
28 | Carolina Panthers | Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina | Mike | Ebron has fallen through the cracks of this mock draft but he will be a reliable weapon for the next few years for Cam Newton. | |
29 | Arizona Cardinals (via NE) | Jace Amaro, TE, Texas A&M | Mike | After being viciously trolled by the Panthers, the Cardinals go for the next best tight end on the board. | |
30 | San Francisco 49ers | Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State | Mike | The 49ers have shown patience with players coming off injuries and Roby is an exceptional talent when healthy. | |
31 | Denver Broncos | David Yankey, G, Stanford | Josh | Yankey will immediately step in at guard to help protect Peyton Manning. | |
32 | Oakland Raiders (via SEA) | Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State | Josh | After adding Mike Evans in the first, the Raiders trade back in to the first round ahead of the Texans for their franchise quarterback. | Raiders get: 32. Seahawks get: 35, a 4th and a 7th |
33 | Houston Texans | Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M | Josh | Johnny Football stays in Texas, but in the second round. Great value for the Texans to get both him and Clowney. | |
34 | Washington Redskins | Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville | Mike | The Redskins need all the help they can get on defense and the secondary could youth some talented youth...and not Baccari Rambo... | |
35 | Seattle Seahawks (via OAK via STL via CLE) | RaShede Hageman, DE, Minnesota | Mike | This mammoth human being is raw but the talent on the Seattle defensive line gives him a year or so to develop into a dominating force. | |
36 | Oakland Raiders | Kyle Van Noy, LB, BYU | Mike | The Raiders added a quarterback and wide receiver, now it's time to add some talent to the defense. | |
37 | Atlanta Falcons | Troy Niklas, TE, Notre Dame | Josh | The Falcons add Tony Gonzalez' replacement early in the second. Niklas is an incredible blocker as well. | |
38 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State | Mike | Shazier will serve as the WILL in Lovie Smith's new Tampa 2 defense. | |
39 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Lamarcus Joyner, DB, Florida State | Josh | Imagine what Gus Bradley can do with the versatile Joyner. Safety or corner, the guy just makes plays. | |
40 | Minnesota Vikings | Jimmy Garappolo, QB, Eastern Illinois | Mike | Garappolo is a quarterback to develop behind Matt Cassel and the new regime could slowly bring him along with the veteran in place. | |
41 | Buffalo Bills | Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt | Josh | The Bills have other needs, but Matthews is too good of a value to pass up on, especially with WR-needy teams coming up. | |
42 | Tennessee Titans | Tre Mason, RB, Auburn | Mike | Chris Johnson is a goner and the Titans can't depend on Shaun Greene to carry the load, so they nab Mason off the board. | |
43 | New York Giants | Dominique Easley, DT, Florida | Josh | If he's healthy, Easley is a sure top 20 pick. The GMen nab a good player at 43. | |
44 | Pittsburgh Steelers (via STL) | Jack Mewhort, OT, Ohio State | Mike | The Steelers continue to retool their offensive line, which has seemingly become an annual turnstile. | Steelers trade the 46th pick and a 6th rounder to Rams for 44 |
45 | Detroit Lions | Davante Adams, WR, Fresno State | Josh | Adams is a monster one-on-one with anyone, and he'll get that with Megatron on the other side. | |
46 | St. Louis Rams (via PIT) | Terrence Brooks, S, Florida State | Mike | The Rams have avoided improving their safety position in recent drafts, but this year they will attack the need with a very talented player, who comes from a winning program. | |
47 | Dallas Cowboys | Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame | Josh | After nabbing Barr in the first, the Cowboys get another great value with the former Irish star. | |
48 | Baltimore Ravens | Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame | Mike | Arthur Jones has moved to Indianapolis, so the Ravens will look to hammer out his replacement with Tuitt. | |
49 | New York Jets | Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood | Josh | Despite drafting Milliner last year, the Jets still need another corner. Desir is the best available and a great value at 49. | |
50 | Miami Dolphins | Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennesee | Mike | The Dolphins continue to form a solid offensive line this offseason with their first two picks in the draft. | |
51 | Chicago Bears | Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State | Josh | The Bears added Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston, and now with Clinton-Dix and Jernigan the defense gets a lot better in one offseason. | |
52 | Arizona Cardinals | Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State | Mike | The Cardinals pair Andre Ellington with a ground and pound back that Arizona prays is not the second coming of Beanie Wells. | |
53 | Green Bay Packers | Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State | Josh | Robinson has the potential to be a number one, but here he is just another dynamic weapon for Aaron Rodgers. | |
54 | Philadelphia Eagles | Deone Bucannon, S, Washington State | Mike | The Eagles have lessened their need with Malcolm Jenkins and bringing back Nate Allen, but the safety group can be upgraded and Bucannon serves as talented youth to develop. | |
55 | Cincinnati Bengals | Chris Borland, LB, Wisconsin | Josh | Borland is a tad undersized, but can play any LB position and is an animal going sideline to sideline. | |
56 | San Francisco 49ers | Bishop Sankey, RB, Washington | Mike | The rich get richer with another new running back to pair with Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and Marcus Lattimore with LaMichael James likely being shown the door. | |
57 | San Diego Chargers | Seantrel Henderson, OT, Miami | Josh | Henderson can be as good as he wants to be, and could be a day one starter if his head is on straight. Incredible talent. | |
58 | New Orleans Saints | Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss | Mike | The Saints have seen plenty of offensive players come and go this offseason and Moncrief will help add depth to the wide receiver unit. | |
59 | Indianapolos Colts | Jeremiah Attaochu, DE/OLB, Georgia Tech | Josh | Attaochu is a great value for the Colts this late, and can play with his hands in the dirt or standing up. | |
60 | Carolina Panthers | Scott Crichton, DE, Oregon State | Mike | The lack of 4-3 teams and depth of this class have caused Crichton to slip and he will serve as a possible 2015 replacement to franchise player Greg Hardy. | |
61 | New England Patriots | Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington | Josh | ASJ's ceiling is Rob Gronkowski. Think about that for a second. | |
62 | San Francisco 49ers | Jarvis Landry, WR, LSU | Mike | The 49ers looked at a few wide receivers in free agency but chose to trust the depth of the draft and won with Landry. | |
63 | Denver Broncos | Martavis Bryant, WR, Clemson | Josh | Minus Eric Decker, plus Martavis Bryant. Not a bad trade for the Broncos if Bryant even comes close to his potential. | |
64 | Seattle Seahawks | Paul Richardson, WR, Colorado | Mike | This wide receiver run continues with a replacement for Golden Tate. |
