PFF'S First Mock for the 2016 Draft

Top 5 only:

1. Tennessee Titans: Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio StateWe don't know what defensive scheme Tennessee will be using next season, due to impending turnover on the Titans' coaching staff, but it doesn't matter with Bosa. He is the draft's most disruptive player after leading the nation in pass-rushing grade each of the last two years (+56.6, +45.2) and leading the way against the run this year as well (+26.0). The Titans got their franchise QB in Marcus Mariota in last year's draft; this year, they get a future cornerstone on defense.

2. Cleveland Browns: Jared Goff, QB, CaliforniaGiven the rocky start Johnny Manziel has had in Cleveland, the Browns may still be in the market for a quarterback this offseason — and in this scenario, they have the opportunity to take one at No. 2 overall. Goff is the best quarterback in a class that is deep but lacking in top-end talent. He made some poor decisions but continues to improve and is an effective downfield passer. He also performed well under pressure (+6.5 grade) and against the blitz (+13.0) — two good signs for his ability to translate to the NFL level.

3. San Diego Chargers: DeForest Buckner, DE, OregonThe Chargers have been weak on the defensive line for some time, and Buckner is a perfect fit as a defensive end in their 3-4 scheme. Like Bosa, he can play the run as well as he rush the passer, and he led all interior defensive linemen with a +38.1 rush grade to go with 11 sacks, 14 hits, and 39 hurries. He's a disruptive fore on a defense that needs one.

4. Baltimore Ravens: Jalen Ramsey, CB, Florida StateIt's rare for the Ravens to be drafting this early, and they're expected to look hard at the defensive backfield. Ramsey brings the versatility that NFL teams will covet. He has played safety, slot and outside corner at FSU, grading at +22.6 last season and +16.6 this year.

5. San Francisco 49ers: Josh Doctson, WR, TCUThis is a depleted 49ers roster that could use help all over the place, and the future at quarterback is still up in the air, making Memphis QB Paxton Lynch a possibility for them in the first round. But we don't have Lynch rated as highly as some do, and Doctson will help whichever signal-caller that eventually wins the job. He has the ability to win down the field while making catches with defenders draped all over him, two big parts of his + 24.5 receiving grade that ranked second in the nation this season (he was No. 1 prior to his season-ending injury).



I'd be pissed if we took a WR at 5

I don't see how San Diego passes up Tunsil and they have 4 WR's in the first round. Not sure that will happen.

After watching San Diego game yesterday - they are terrible.

One of the worst teams I've seen in a long time.

They should start w/Oline since they have a top tier QB.

I fell asleep after the first half and saw the final Oakland touchdown. The bolded sounds like an over exaggeration. I think the Chargers beat us and it's upsetting that they will likely draft before us.

wow if we pass on Jaylon Smith for a WR..

Horrible mock it won't happen

This garbage mock draft has already been posted.

Lol we're talent depleted all over the roster yet we draft a WR yeah that makes all the sense in the world

Horrible mock

Plenty of good mock drafts that adequately identify major team needs and seek to fill them logically. This one is just goofy, when analytics overrules common sense.
