Published:
Note: Click through the tabs above to see other mock drafts.
Garrett confirmed at the combine what everyone knew: He's a fantastic athlete.
Kyle Shanahan is playing the waiting game for
[Kirk Cousins](/player/kirkcousins/2532820/profile), so the
[49ers](/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) look to instead add a leader in the secondary.
Thomas is an outstanding player with position versatility the
[Bears](/teams/chicagobears/profile?team=CHI) will appreciate.
Jacksonville gets an elite back to pair with
[T.J. Yeldon](/player/t.j.yeldon/2552471/profile), with
[Chris Ivory](/player/chrisivory/2507999/profile) possibly a cap casualty.
[Marcus Mariota](/player/marcusmariota/2552466/profile) could use some receivers. Now.
The
[Jets](/teams/newyorkjets/profile?team=NYJ) are lacking talent at cornerback, so one of the Buckeyes' talented corners should find a home in NYC.
Hooker's range and ball skills are worthy of a top-10 pick.
Finding speed at the receiver position should be a priority for the
[Panthers](/teams/carolinapanthers/profile?team=CAR).
The
[Bengals](/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN) might see a younger version of
[Geno Atkins](/player/genoatkins/496762/profile) in Allen.
[Tyrod Taylor](/player/tyrodtaylor/2495240/profile)'s back in the fold, so finding him dependable targets becomes a high priority.
Barnett pairs well with
[Cameron Jordan](/player/cameronjordan/2495184/profile) in bringing pressure into the opponents' backfield.
If
[Jimmy Garoppolo](/player/jimmygaroppolo/2543801/profile) doesn't come to Cleveland, I won't be surprised if Hue Jackson pushes to use some of the team's extra picks to get Watson.
[Carson Palmer](/player/carsonpalmer/2505245/profile) is nearing the end of his career, and Kizer's a good fit to learn and emulate the former No. 1 pick's game.
Philly finds a new starting corner.
Foster has some red flags for teams, but his talent won't allow him to leave the top 15.
This feels like a Michael Oher-type bargain for Ozzie Newsome, getting a new right tackle to replace
[Ricky Wagner](/player/rickywagner/2539340/profile).
Now that Peppers showed he's perfectly capable of handling deep-half responsibility, the
[Redskins](/teams/washingtonredskins/profile?team=WAS) will grab him.
Free-agent signings allow the
[Titans](/teams/tennesseetitans/profile?team=TEN) to bolster their offense with two first-round receiving threats.
Cook's shoulder surgeries might drive down his value, but it is interesting to think about him joining former college teammate
[Jameis Winston](/player/jameiswinston/2552033/profile).
John Elway needs a reliable pass protector to keep
[Paxton Lynch](/player/paxtonlynch/2555316/profile) (or
[Tony Romo](/player/tonyromo/2505354/profile)?) upright.
Charlton stays in-state to help Ziggy Ansah bully passers in the NFC North.
Reddick's climb up draft boards during the postseason lands him in Miami.
Power, length, and athleticism? Sounds like a Giant to me.
Jack Del Rio gets his quick and strong pass rusher inside.
Trubisky will need time to develop, but has the skills to be a good QB.
Signing
[Luke Joeckel](/player/lukejoeckel/2540139/profile) was nice and all, but Ramczyk will be a very good starter once his hip has healed.
The release of
[Jamaal Charles](/player/jamaalcharles/925/profile) makes finding a speedy and elusive back a necessity; enter McCaffrey.
Humphrey's physicality and speed will endear him to Jerry Jones.
[T.J. Lang](/player/t.j.lang/89746/profile) signed with the
[Lions](/teams/detroitlions/profile?team=DET), so the
[Packers](/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB) plug in Lamp.
[James Harrison](/player/jamesharrison/2504844/profile) can't play forever, and
[Jarvis Jones](/player/jarvisjones/2540137/profile) is a free agent.
Willis really impressed with his athleticism at the combine, so now it's unclear if he'll even be available at this spot.
New Orleans uses the
[Brandin Cooks](/player/brandincooks/2543498/profile) trade to add a talented cover man.
