Brooks' mock draft 3.0: 49ers take Myles Jack at No. 7
Published:
**Laremy Tunsil - OT, Ole Miss:** With ownership demanding better protection of
[Marcus Mariota](/player/marcusmariota/2552466/profile), the
[Titans](/teams/tennesseetitans/profile?team=TEN) could elect to expend their top pick on the best offensive tackle in the draft.
**Jared Goff - QB, Cal:** Hue Jackson could elect to snag the most pro-ready quarterback in the draft to lead his makeover of the
[Browns](/teams/clevelandbrowns/profile?team=CLE).
**Jalen [Rams](/teams/losangelesrams/profile?team=LA)ey - CB, Florida State:** The loss of
[Eric Weddle](/player/ericweddle/2495775/profile) makes it imperative for the
[Chargers](/teams/sandiegochargers/profile?team=SD) to snag a playmaker that can deliver "splash" plays in the middle of the field.
**Joey Bosa - DE, Ohio State:** Rod Marinelli would welcome an energetic pass rusher with terrific hand skills and a knack for disruption.
**Vernon Hargreaves - CB, Florida:** Fixing the secondary is a top priority for Gus Bradley. Hargreaves is a natural CB1 with explosive movement skills and a high football IQ.
**Ronnie Stanley - OT, Notre Dame:** After watching
[Joe Flacco](/player/joeflacco/382/profile) falling victim to an injury, the
[Ravens](/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL) could make fortifying the front line a top priority.
** Myles Jack - LB, UCLA:** After suffering through a mass exodus of playmakers at linebacker, the
[49ers](/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) grab a sideline-to-sideline menace with exceptional speed, quickness and instincts.
**Eli Apple - CB, Ohio State:** The rangy cover corner possesses the length, athleticism and explosiveness to develop into a premier CB1 in Vance Joseph's defense.
**DeForest Buckner - DE, Oregon:** Mike Smith needs to find
[Gerald McCoy](/player/geraldmccoy/496816/profile) a playmate along the defensive front. Buckner is a versatile pass rusher with the athleticism and length to create problems for blockers on the edges.
**Shaq Lawson - DE, Clemson:** Given the
[Giants](/teams/newyorkgiants/profile?team=NYG)' defensive woes in recent years, GM Jerry Reese could view Lawson as a complement or possible successor to
[Jason Pierre-Paul](/player/jasonpierre-paul/496843/profile) on the edge.
** Reggie Ragland - LB, Alabama:** John Fox and Vic Fangio could view the Alabama standout as the ideal traffic cop to run the defense in the Windy City.
**Sheldon Rankins - DT, Louisville:** The
[Saints](/teams/neworleanssaints/profile?team=NO) need to address their defensive line after fielding one of the worst defenses in NFL history. Rankins is a disruptive interior defender with explosive quickness and violent hands.
**Jack Conklin - OT, Michigan State:**
[Jason Peters](/player/jasonpeters/2505827/profile)' age and injury history could prompt the
[Eagles](/teams/philadelphiaeagles/profile?team=PHI) to spend a top pick on a young offensive tackle with the footwork and lateral quickness to snuff out pass rushers on the edges.
**Robert Nkemdiche - DE, Mississippi:** The ultra-athletic defensive tackle is a bit of a risk based on his character issues and underwhelming production, but there's no disputing his talent or potential as a "shop wrecker" on the interior.
**Mackensie Alexander - CB, Clemson:** Cornerback could be a top priority for the
[Rams](/teams/losangelesrams/profile?team=LA) on draft day.
**Laquon Treadwell - WR, Mississippi:** The
[Lions](/teams/detroitlions/profile?team=DET) have a huge void at WR1 after
[Calvin Johnson](/player/calvinjohnson/2495647/profile)'s retirement. Treadwell would be a natural replacement as a big-bodied pass-catcher with exceptional ball skills.
**Darron Lee - LB, Ohio State:** Dan Quinn's quest for speedy playmakers with diverse skills could lead the
[Falcons](/teams/atlantafalcons/profile?team=ATL) to target the Ohio State standout as a potential "three-down" linebacker in the team's "see-ball, get-ball" scheme.
**Taylor Decker - OT, Ohio State:** After watching
[Andrew Luck](/player/andrewluck/2533031/profile) take a beating in the pocket, the
[Colts](/teams/indianapoliscolts/profile?team=IND) could make a concerted effort to upgrade the pass protection on the edges.
**Kevin Dodd - DE, Clemson:** With the recent release of
[Mario Williams](/player/mariowilliams/2495982/profile), the
[Bills](/teams/buffalobills/profile?team=BUF) could target Dodd as an athletic defender to add to the rotation.
**Ezekiel Elliott - RB, Ohio State:** Despite
[Chris Ivory](/player/chrisivory/2507999/profile)'s breakout season, the
[Jets](/teams/newyorkjets/profile?team=NYJ) could view him as expendable. Elliott is a versatile workhorse back capable of delivering explosive plays as a runner or receiver.
**Jarran Reed - DT, Alabama:** The
[Redskins](/teams/washingtonredskins/profile?team=WAS) need to get younger and more athletic along the defensive front. Robinson is a disruptive run stopper at the point of attack with the size and strength to hold his ground against double teams.
**Carson Wentz - QB, North Dakota State:** Bill O'Brien would have a tough time bypassing a big, athletic pocket passer with a rocket arm. Although Wentz will need some time to acclimate to the pro game, the
[Texans](/teams/houstontexans/profile?team=HOU) have a solid supporting cast in place to make a playoff push with a young quarterback at the helm.
**Josh Doctson - WR, TCU** The jump-ball specialist is not only a legitimate red-zone weapon, but he is a crafty WR1 with speed, quickness and route ability. Doctson would give
[Teddy Bridgewater](/player/teddybridgewater/2543465/profile) a big-bodied playmaker to target in key moments.
**Will Fuller - WR, Notre Dame** The
[Bengals](/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN) could use a speedster on the perimeter to clear out space for
[A.J. Green](/player/a.j.green/2495450/profile) over the middle. Fuller is a home-run specialist capable of scoring from anywhere on the field.
**William Jackson III - CB, Houston:** The
[Steelers](/teams/pittsburghsteelers/profile?team=PIT) covet long, rangy corners with ball skills and instincts to thrive in a zone-based system. Jackson is a natural ballhawk with a knack for swiping picks on tips and overthrows.
**A'Shawn Robinson - DT, Alabama:** Pete Carroll adds a big body to the front line to fortify the
[Seahawks](/teams/seattleseahawks/profile?team=SEA)' stellar run defense.
**Andrew Billings - DT, Baylor:** If
[B.J. Raji](/player/b.j.raji/79631/profile) departs as a free agent, GM Ted Thompson could add another big body to the front line to help solidify the
[Packers](/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB)' run defense.
**Kendall Fuller - CB, Virginia Tech:** With
[Sean Smith](/player/seansmith/2507783/profile) set to test the market as a free agent, the
[Chiefs](/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC) could elect to draft another young cover corner with impressive bump-and-run skills to play on the island opposite
[Marcus Peters](/player/marcuspeters/2552488/profile). Despite missing time with an injury, Fuller is an aggressive defender with outstanding movement skills and shadow technique.
**Noah Spence - OLB, Eastern Kentucky:** After a lackluster performance at the NFL
[Scouting Combine](http://www.nfl.com/combine), it's quite possible that Spence falls to the pass-rusher-needy
[Cardinals](/teams/arizonacardinals/profile?team=ARI) at the bottom of the first round.
**Emmanuel Ogbah - DE, Oklahoma State:** The release of
[Charles Johnson](/player/charlesjohnson/2541147/profile) and the retirement of
[Jared Allen](/player/jaredallen/2505940/profile) could prompt the
[Panthers](/teams/carolinapanthers/profile?team=CAR) to pull the trigger on an explosive edge rusher in the first round. Ogbah is far from a finished product as a rusher, but his strength, power and burst would make him a nice complement to
[Kony Ealy](/player/konyealy/2543484/profile) on the edges.
**[Derrick Henry](/player/derrickhenry/2556075/profile) - RB, Alabama:** The
[Broncos](/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN)' shift to a "grind-it-out" approach would go to the another level with a big, athletic runner like Henry in the backfield.
