I've never done a full first round before, and it's really tough. I only mocked the one 49ers trade, but obviously could have done more.
1 Tampa Bay - Jameis Winston QB
2 Tennessee Titans - Leonard Williams DT - I think The Titans stand by their QB and select the top defensive player.
3 Jacksonville Jaguars - Dante Fowler JR. DE
4 Oakland Raiders - Amari Cooper WR
5 Washington Redskins - Marcus Mariota QB - Not that I think he goes to Washington but I can see the Browns packaging picks to move up for Mariota.
6 New York Jets - Kevin White WR
7 Chicago Bears - Shane Ray DE
8 Atlanta Falcons - Vic Beasley DE
9 New York Giants - Danny Shelton DT
10 St Louis Rams - Brandon Scherff OL
11 Minnesota Vikings - Todd Gurley RB
12 Cleveland Browns - DeVante Parker WR
13 New Orleans Saints - Trae Waynes CB
14 Miami Dolphins - DJ Humphries OT
15 San Francisco 49ers -trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers - Randy Gregory OLB - The Steelers have quite a few needs, but lack pass rushers. Jarvis Jones hasn't done much of anything and even though they just signed Harrison again, they need a long-term solution.
16 Houston Texans - Jaelen Strong WR
17 San Diego Chargers - Arik Armstead DT
18 Kansas City Chiefs - Andrus Peat OT
19 Cleveland Browns - Melvin Gordon RB
20 Philadelphia Eagles - La'el Collins OT/OG
21 Cincinnati Bengals - Bud Dupree DE
22 Pittsburgh Steelers trade with 49ers
49ers - Carl Davis DT - I struggled with wanting to select Peters here, but I don't think you pass on a guy like Davis. Carradine and Dockett are both better pass rushers than run stoppers, so getting a guy like Davis will only help. I like Goldman and Brown here too, but give Davis the edge in potential and leadership.
Alternate picks: Marcus Peters CB, Eddie Goldman DT, Cameron Erving G/C
23 Detroit Lions - Eddie Goldman DT
24 Arizona Cardinals - Cameron Erving OG/C
25 Carolina Panthers - Kevin Johnson CB
26 Baltimore Ravens - Jalen Collins CB
27 Dallas Cowboys - Malcolm Brown DT
28 Denver Broncos - Jordan Phillips DT
29 Indianapolis Colts - Landon Collins SS
30 Green Bay Packers - Ereck Flowers OT
31 New Orleans Saints - Eric Kendricks ILB
32 New England Patriots - Byron Jones CB
49ers trade 15 for 22 and a 3rd
2 Stephone Anthony ILB - Has all the tools, just needs to develop. Agholor was a possibility here, but I like Anthony's potential in a position of more immediate need.
3 Rashad Greene WR - Played really well in big games. The only real knock on him is his size. He can help on special teams as well. Tre McBride is another possibility but I like that Greene can help in the return game.
3 Ifo Ekpre-Olomu CB - He can rehab this year and then possibly take over for Ward if the plan is still to move him to safety.
4 Tyler Kroft TE - Jesse James was my other option but I like Krofts athleticism.
4 Jeremiah Poutasi OL - Great size, and can play tackle or guard.
5 Obum Gwacham OLB - Converted WR with great size, athleticism, and really long arms. He needs time to develop and can do that behind Aldon, Lynch and Brooks. So much potential.
6 Matt Jones RB - Met with Tom Rathman not too long ago. Not a flashy player but is able to fight through small holes and pick up short yards.
7 Tray Walker CB - I really liked Tye Smith until I looked into Walker when Maddog brought him up. He has great size and is a physical player. Good wrap up tackler who can contribute on special teams until he earns play time.
7 Tevin McDonald S - Might as well give him a shot.
FA Targets:
Darius Allen LB
Ricky Collins WR
Keon Willaims RB
Devin Gardner QB
Tory Slater DE

I like it for the most part, but would prefer McBride or Dez Lewis over Greene with that pick. We need a potential air apparent for Anquan.

I think Waynes would go to the Rams in that scenario and then Gregory goes 13 to the Saints. I don't think Scherff is good enough to be a top 10 pick and it looks like he will have to play at guard. We could still pull off a trade with the Panthers if there is an offensive lineman they really like or they could wait and take TJ Clemmings.
Overall, I like your mock draft. The only pick I don't really like is Greene. A 3rd round or later WR isn't likely to play much right away, so I'd rather draft a project with potential (Conley, possibly Waller) or wait a year to draft a WR and see what Ellington and Patton do this year. I would rather go OL there and grab Ogbuehi, Marpet, Kouandijo, or Donavan Smith if one is there.

If Davis is the real deal it's a great draft. If Davis is a stiff it would be a disaster.

I like the trade down...I know the draft value chart isn't the end-all be-all when finding right value, but our 15th pick is worth 1,050 and Pitt's 22nd is worth 780 pts (difference of 270 pts). They have the 87th pick (worth 155) so if they want a player the caliber of Gregory, I think they might be able to squeeze out a 4th as well
I'm not sure the Viking's trade Peterson and I doubt Gurley goes that high. You don't have Peters as a 1st round pick?
I like Davis but I'd would have liked to have seen a little more pass-rush, so we could keep him on the field for 3 downs...seems to be a bit lazy. IF we wait until the 3rd to get a WR (which I would hate) I would prefer Lockette. Also I think ILB in the 2nd is a reach we have are starters in place IMO.
I like you later round picks though

VERY interesting.
On a personal note, Goldman is this year's draft crush but other than that - pretty good.

I'll pass on a 3-4 DE with little pass rush ability or potential in the 1st round.
Rashad Greene isn't a bad player, but I'm sick of our FO drafting these "solid at everything, great at nothing" type of WR's. Green would be a good 3rd WR on a team that is entrenched with 2 quality starters, not that Boldin/Smith aren't quality, but one is old and needs to be replaced next year and the other is, IMO, a 1-trick pony.
Greene doesn't offer anything that Patton or Ellington don't, Ellington is more athletic and Patton I think is a very good and reliable player that has just been buried on the depth chart and dealing with injuries.

Really? I would think it'd be the other way around (potential). It looks to me like Davis the better DL right now, but I don't see the raw power Goldman possesses in Davis even at 2 years younger. Goldman looks like the up-side, long-term value to me.

Corner in the late rounds only? While taking a tackle early... it might just be me, but dockett, dial, dorsey, williams, eddie, and tank.. that looks pretty deep to me. While we have one proven corner?!
