  School: Texas A&M. Best player in the draft. Excellent outside pass rusher. 

  School: LSU. I never bought into Solomon Thomas in this spot. Fournette is the second-best player in this draft. 

  School: LSU. Tough call with Marshon Lattimore still on the board, but 
 [Bears](/teams/chicagobears/profile?team=CHI) can get a cornerback later. 

  (PROJECTED TRADE UP WITH JAGUARS FROM NO. 12) School: North Carolina. 
 [Browns](/teams/clevelandbrowns/profile?team=CLE) can't wait on this trade; Trubisky won't be there at 12. 

  School: Clemson. 
 [Titans](/teams/tennesseetitans/profile?team=TEN) grab their receiver now; too much of a risk to wait until No. 18. 

  School: Ohio State. 
 [Jets](/teams/newyorkjets/profile?team=NYJ) get a No. 1 cornerback to fill a major need. 

  School: Stanford. Inside pass rush is a need for the 
 [Chargers](/teams/losangeleschargers/profile?team=LAC), who can get a safety in Round 2. 

  School: Stanford. The versatile McCaffrey can fill several roles for the 
 [Panthers](/teams/carolinapanthers/profile?team=CAR). 

  School: Alabama. Pass rush takes a priority over safety (Malik Hooker) at this spot for the 
 [Bengals](/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN). 

  School: Ohio State. They lose out on Trubisky. Cornerback is a bigger need than wide receiver. 

  School: Alabama. Taking a pass rusher here is also a possibility for the 
 [Saints](/teams/neworleanssaints/profile?team=NO). 

  (PROJECTED TRADE DOWN WITH BROWNS FROM NO. 4) School: Clemson. 
 [Blake Bortles](/player/blakebortles/2543477/profile) is in the last year of his rookie deal. Tom Coughlin will love Watson's leadership. 

  School: Western Michigan. 
 [Cardinals](/teams/arizonacardinals/profile?team=ARI) take 
 [Larry Fitzgerald](/player/larryfitzgerald/2506106/profile)'s eventual replacement. 

  School: Washington. Does "Trader Howie" use this pick to trade for 
 [Malcolm Butler](/player/malcolmbutler/2550613/profile) instead? 

  School: Tennessee. Pass rush is No. 1 need for the 
 [Colts](/teams/indianapoliscolts/profile?team=IND). They could also consider a pass protector for 
 [Andrew Luck](/player/andrewluck/2533031/profile). 

  School: Alabama. The draft could not fall any better than this for Ozzie Newsome. 

  School: UCLA. The 
 [Redskins](/teams/washingtonredskins/profile?team=WAS) need a bookend for 
 [Ryan Kerrigan](/player/ryankerrigan/2495190/profile). Malik Hooker is a possibility here as well. 

  School: Missouri. After addressing their need at wide receiver earlier, 
 [Titans](/teams/tennesseetitans/profile?team=TEN) get help for their pass rush. 

  School: Florida State. The fall stops here for Cook, who's a top-10 player. 

  School: Wisconsin. Left tackle is a major need for the 
 [Broncos](/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN). 

  School: Alabama. Like Cook, Foster has top-10 talent, but because of off-field issues he drops. 

  School: Ohio State. This is low for Hooker, and someone will likely take him before this spot. 

  School: Utah. Bolles will play left tackle, allowing 
 [Giants](/teams/newyorkgiants/profile?team=NYG) to move 
 [Ereck Flowers](/player/ereckflowers/2552452/profile) to his natural right tackle position. 

  School: Alabama. 
 [Raiders](/teams/oaklandraiders/profile?team=OAK) need to solidify the right tackle position. 

  School: Western Kentucky. Will the 
 [Texans](/teams/houstontexans/profile?team=HOU) trade up to get an OT or stay here? 

  School: LSU. Whether 
 [Richard Sherman](/player/richardsherman/2495507/profile) is in Seattle or not, the 
 [Seahawks](/teams/seattleseahawks/profile?team=SEA) need another corner. 

  School: Florida. 
 [Chiefs](/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC) fill a need with an instinctive and fast player. I could also see QB Patrick Mahomes here. 

  School: Washington. King is a perfect fit for the 
 [Cowboys](/teams/dallascowboys/profile?team=DAL) defense. 

  School: USC. Jackson represents an upgrade at a weak position for the 
 [Packers](/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB). 

  School: Temple. A quarterback is a definite possibility here. Davis Webb? 

  School: Michigan. The pass rush needs to improve in Atlanta. 

  School: Wisconsin. My favorite player in the real draft has to be in my mock draft.
