On draft day, print this list and compare it to the highly celebrated Mike Mayock’s.
CRR DRAFT 3.0
We here at CRR are simply Better! We know your team and we know their needs. Check out the 1-10 projected picks below.
#1. Los Angeles Rams – Positions of need: QB, WR, CB, OL – Pick – QB Jared Goff – Cal
Method behind the madness: The Rams missed big last year on QBs. Nick Foles was a terrible pickup and additionally the Rams selected Sean Mannion in the third round last year. They desperately need help at the position. Jared Goff makes big throws, and has great pocket awareness. He has potential to be one of the great QBs and will be thankful he does not have to start his career in Cleveland.
#2. Philadelphia Eagles – Positions of need: RB, T, OL, WR – Pick – T Laremy Tunsil – Ole Miss
Method behind the madness: Yes, they are dumb for giving up everything for the pick but the team needs to lower the 37 sacks from 2015. Laremy meets a need and is the best overall player in this draft in my opinion. Sam Bradford can rest easy knowing they aren’t going after Carson Wentz. Three QBs taking up 1/3 of the cap space makes no sense anyway.
#3. San Diego Chargers – Positions of need: WR, OG, QB, DE, S C – Pick – DT DeForest Buckner – Oregon
Method behind the madness: Sheer dominance is the reason behind this pick. Sure he’s no DE but he can be on some downs. This guy has the size and the maneuverability to make a QB’s life hell. SD would be foolish to let this one slide.
#4. Dallas Cowboys – Positions of Need: WR, DE, RB – Pick –DE Joey Bosa – Ohio State
Method behind the madness: I was so close to saying Laquon Treadwell here because Jerry Jones loves the flashy player. However, he has been making smart picks as of late. Bosa fills the need and is a top-5 player in this draft.
#5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Positions of need: CB, DE, OL, OLB – Pick – CB Jalen Ramsey – Florida State
Method behind the madness: This team gave up “the cookies” (TDs) 29 times via the air in 2015. Ramsey staying in Florida will sure that up.
#6. Baltimore Ravens – Positions of need: CB, WR, OL, FS, OLB, – Pick – OLB Myles Jack – UCLA
Method behind the madness: Suggs is getting old. Jack can bring the beast back into the Ravens front 7. Ravens Nation may still have a problem with this pick but I believe he is the best player at that spot for this pick. Ozzie may trade back given his history and collect picks.
#7. San Francisco 49ers – Positions of need: WR, DL, DB, QB, OL – Pick – QB Carson Wentz – Memphis
Method behind the madness: The Colin Kaepernick era is a thing of the past. He will be gone on draft day to another team for the right price. Wentz has been rated by Pro Football Focus as the top QB. Lets hope he plays like one in 2016. Good luck with that receiving corps or lack thereof.
#8. Cleveland Browns – Positions of need: OL, CB, LB, S, DL – Pick – CB Vernon Hargreaves – Florida
Method behind the madness: Donte Whitner is out of the picture and they could use another piece to this secondary. Watch out as the Browns play this smart and pick up the Florida boy who helped shut down Laquon Treadwell.
#9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Positions of need: WR, OL, S, DE, LB – Pick – WR Laquon Treadwell – Ole Miss
Method behind the madness: This is a desperation move, due to having no talent at the WR position. Don’t give me the Mike Evans spill. He and Ted Ginn Jr. led the league in drops in 2015. Treadwell is still a bust in my opinion. But yall drink that Kool-Aid if you want to.
#10. New York Giants – Positions of Need: DB, DL, OL, RB, LB – Pick – LB Reggie Ragland – Alabama
Method behind the madness: NYG needs a defensive identity and no better place to start than with a talented LB, formed in the Nick Saban football factory.
