NFL Mock Draft: Rams trade shakes things up

California. Jared Goff . 1. player. 51. The Rams traded up for a QB to help them excite the LA market. Wentz might end up the better player, but it will be much easier to sell the in-state college star.. QB

QB. North Dakota State. Carson Wentz . 2. player. 53. Wentz has a higher ceiling than Goff, but also a lower floor. With LA going the safe route, the Browns get to swing for the fences.

player. 13. Tunsil will be tempting, but the Chargers must get faster on defense. Ramsey will be a major upgrade no matter where the coaching staff decides to play him in the secondary.. CB/FS. Florida State. Jalen Ramsey . 3

This works out very well for Dallas, who need to upgrade the talent level of their front 7.. DE. Ohio State. Joey Bosa . 4. player. 123

DE. Clemson. Shaq Lawson . 5. player. 52. Jacksonville spent big money to upgrade their defense in free agency. Adding a pure explosive pass rusher like Lawson would make that defense quite formidable.

6. player. 26. The Ravens should probably pull the trigger on Zeke here, but Tunsil is too much to pass up. They end up getting the No. 1 player in this draft class all the way down at No. 6. They have to like that.. OT. Ole Miss. Laremy Tunsil

42. San Francisco missed out the top QBs, so instead they continue to try and re-stock a defense that lost a tremendous amount of talent a year ago.. DE. Oregon. DeForest Buckner . 7. player

54. The Eagles spent a lot of money a year ago on veteran RBs, and it didn’t work out. Picking up Zeke here makes all of that mess go away.. RB. Ohio State. Ezekiel Elliott . 8. player

WR. TCU. Josh Doctson . 9. player. 48. The dynamic Doctson is the perfect compliment to Mike Evans, and would give Tampa Bay one of the best young WR duos in the NFL.

31. This pick was a tough one to project. The Giants should be able to get the offensive help they need later in the draft, so I don’t think they pass on the chance to get a top CB.. CB. Florida. Vernon Hargreaves III . 10. player

11. player. 57. Chicago’s defense needs help everywhere, and Rankins is the kind of talent that make everyone around him better.. DT. Louisville. Sheldon Rankins

15. Myles Jack is a top 5 talent, but conerns about his knee will cause him to drop. The Saints’ defense has been historically bad recently, and Jack makes them instantly better.. OLB. UCLA. Myles Jack . 12. player

The Dolphins have spent huge money on their defensive line. Lee gives them the LB they still need to turn that investment into a dominant front 7.. OLB. Ohio State. Darron Lee . 13. player. 59

Ohio State. Eli Apple . 14. player. 28. Oakland has a nice young roster at the moment, but they need help at CB. Eli Apple fits their scheme very well.. CB

OT. Notre Dame. Ronnie Stanley . 15. player. 35. The Titans likely would have taken Tunsil if they’d stay’d at No. 1. Now they get the draft’s second-best OT instead, plus the have all those extra picks from the Rams.

16. player. 50. The Lions won’t be able to replace Calvin Johnson with just one guy. They added a posession receiver already, and Coleman gives them the deep threat.. WR. Baylor. Corey Coleman

player. 44. The Falcons could go in a lot of directions here, but getting a playmaker on the outside to play opposite Julio Jones will makes things extremely tough on their opponents.. WR. Ole Miss. LaQuon Treadwell . 17

OT. Michigan State. Jack Conklin . 18. player. 46. The Colts must do a better job of protecting Andrew Luck if he’s ever going come close to reaching the level they want him to play at.

Georgia. Leonard Floyd . 19. player. 16. Rex Ryan can’t ever seem to stop himself from grabbing another toy for his front 7.. OLB

DT. Alabama. A'Shawn Robinson . 20. player. 30. The Jets have a very talented front 7, but there are plenty of long-term concerns there. Getting Robinson now would provide a nice boost in both the short and long-term outlooks.

22. player. 10. Houston has a great defensive front, but they need some help in the secondary. Jackson upgrades an already-tough defense.. CB. Houston. William Jackson III

60. Patterson has been a major bust. If this offense is going to take the next step, they need to improve at WR.. WR. Notre Dame. Will Fuller . 23. player

56. This is one of the easiest matches in this draft. Cinci needs an upgrade at center, and Kelly is the best one available by a wide margin.. C. Alabama. Ryan Kelly . 24. player

Clemson. Mackensie Alexander . 25. player. 55. Just like the last 3 offseasons, the Steelers MUST improve their secondary. With a player like Alexander, they might actually do so this time.. CB

26. player. 36. Having Billings drop this far is a blessing for Seattle. They need to replace Brondon Mebane, and Billings will do just that.. DT. Baylor. Andrew Billings

27. player. 49. The Packers have been such a mess at ILB the last two seasons that they’ve moved Clay Matthews inside. Ragland’s presence fixes that problem, which upgrades the defense at two positions.. ILB. Alabama. Reggie Ragland

Michael Thomas . 28. player. 124. Kansas City’s offense evolved nicely last year after picking up Maclin. Thomas will allow them to diversify further and really take some pressure off their defense to play perfectly.. WR. Ohio State

32. “You know what Arizona doesn’t need? More pass rushers” -everyone else in the NFC West. DE. Eastern Kentucky. Noah Spence . 29. player

87. The defense is set, but the offense desperately needs more weapons. Boyd is the best WR stll on the board.. WR. Pittsburgh. Tyler Boyd . 30. player

45. This is a dream scenario for Denver. They get to sit back and wait, and they still get the QB in this draft that best fits their offense.. QB. Memphis. Paxton Lynch . 31. player
