Jeremiah mock draft 5.0: Trubisky, Mahomes go back-to-back
Published:
Editor's note: This mock draft was published prior to the news that police are investigating Ohio State CB Gareon Conley after he was accused of rape by a woman earlier this month.
School: Texas A&M. There's been a lot of buzz about the possibility of the
[Browns](/teams/clevelandbrowns/profile?team=CLE) taking Mitchell Trubisky, but I think Garrett ends up being the pick here.
School: LSU. This pick is anyone's guess. I wouldn't be surprised if they took Leonard Fournette, but Adams is the cleanest player in the draft.
School: Ohio State. The
[Bears](/teams/chicagobears/profile?team=CHI) could go in a number of different directions here, but they are desperate for an impact corner.
School: LSU. This pick just makes too much sense. Fournette would be a tremendous help to
[Blake Bortles](/player/blakebortles/2543477/profile).
School: Stanford. I think the
[Titans](/teams/tennesseetitans/profile?team=TEN) will aggressively shop this pick, but Thomas would be a nice fall-back plan if they can't get out.
School: Alabama. Howard will give the
[Jets](/teams/newyorkjets/profile?team=NYJ) a much-needed weapon in the middle of the field.
School: Ohio State. Gus Bradley's defense was made for Malik Hooker.
School: Stanford. This buzz has been building for a while. McCaffrey will provide some easy completions for
[Cam Newton](/player/camnewton/2495455/profile).
School: Alabama. Foster's diluted drug test doesn't seem to be a big issue with teams. Either that or they are lying to me. I'll guess the former is true.
School: Temple. Several teams are targeting Reddick. I'll be surprised if he gets out of the top 15.
School: Alabama. This is higher than I expected for Humphrey, but his size-speed combination is intriguing.
School: North Carolina. I expect the
[Browns](/teams/clevelandbrowns/profile?team=CLE) to move up to make sure Trubisky doesn't get scooped by another team in the top 10.
School: Texas Tech. This would be a surprising pick, but I'm told the
[Cardinals](/teams/arizonacardinals/profile?team=ARI) love the upside of Mahomes.
School: Tennessee. The
[Eagles](/teams/philadelphiaeagles/profile?team=PHI) need a cornerback, but Barnett might be too tempting to pass up.
School: Missouri. The
[Colts](/teams/indianapoliscolts/profile?team=IND) have a lot of needs on defense, but adding a big-time pass rusher is right at the top of the list.
School: Clemson. The
[Ravens](/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL) haven't had much luck drafting wide receivers, but Williams has a tremendous resume.
School: Alabama. Allen could slide a little bit based on some medical concerns. He would be a steal at this point in the draft.
School: Western Michigan. The
[Titans](/teams/tennesseetitans/profile?team=TEN) need to give
[Marcus Mariota](/player/marcusmariota/2552466/profile) a playmaker; Davis qualifies.
School: Florida State. The Bucs could take an offensive lineman here, but Cook would be dynamic in this offense.
School: Wisconsin. The
[Broncos](/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN) need to upgrade their offensive line; Ramczyk will help them do that.
School: Florida. Davis could go much higher than this, but he would be a good fit in Detroit if he were to be available.
School: Western Kentucky.
[Laremy Tunsil](/player/laremytunsil/2555201/profile) kicks out to left tackle this season, which creates an opening at guard.
School: Miami. Njoku is a unique athlete who would be scary surrounded by the playmakers in New York.
School: Ohio State. We could see a run on cornerbacks around this point of the draft.
School: Alabama. Robinson would be an immediate upgrade at right tackle for the
[Texans](/teams/houstontexans/profile?team=HOU).
School: Utah. The
[Seahawks](/teams/seattleseahawks/profile?team=SEA) could go with a cornerback here, but Bolles' athleticism would fit well in their scheme.
School: Clemson. There has been a lot of chatter about the
[Chiefs](/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC) looking at a quarterback in the first round. I'm not sure if Watson is their top guy, but he fits what they do schematically.
School: USC. Some teams have Jackson as the second-best cornerback in the draft. He might be long gone by this point.
School: Wisconsin. This one just makes too much sense. The
[Packers](/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB) need another rusher and Watt is a stud.
School: Ole Miss. This would be a mild surprise, but Engram is well-regarded around the league.
School: Washington. King has the size to match up with the bigger wide receivers in the division. The
[Falcons](/teams/atlantafalcons/profile?team=ATL) have a good group of cornerbacks, but you can never have enough cover guys.
School: UCLA. McKinley seems to be sliding, but he is a very talented edge rusher.
