Redskins taking an OT at 4? We are set at OT.

 

At 4 we take Barnett and don't think twice

Cleveland Browns: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame

 

Cleveland is still in obvious need of a franchise quarterback. Right now, I think the Browns are going to have four picks in the top-40 of the 2017 NFL Draft, so they should be able to come away with a signal-caller for Hue Jackson.

 

Of the quarterback prospects for the 2017 NFL Draft, Kizer has the best skill set. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder has a strong arm that can make all the throws for the NFL. He also shows superb accuracy and an ability make accurate touch passes downfield to beat good coverage. Additionally, Kizer has the mobility to buy time for his receivers, bail out his offensive line, and pick up yards with his feet.

 

In 2016, Kizer has completed 71 percent of his passes for 371 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception. He has also run for two scores.

 

Against Texas in the 2016 season opener, Kizer completed 15-of-24 passes for 215 yards with five touchdown passes. He ran for 77 yards on 13 carries with a touchdown as well.

 

In 2015, Kizer completed 63 percent of his passes for 2,884 yards with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He picked up 520 yards with 10 scores on the ground.

 

 

Tennessee Titans: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M

 

This is the Rams' pick that Tennessee received in the trade back from No. 1 to No. 15 in the 2016 NFL Draft. The Titans have a quality front seven, but Myles Garrett is too good to pass on. He could be Tennessee's defensive franchise player to build around for a decade. With Andrew Luck, Brock Osweiler, and Blake Bortles, the Titans are going to need a serious pass rush to compete in the AFC South.

 

Garrett has five tackles, 1.5 for a loss and one sack in 2016. Against UCLA in the season opener, Garrett collected three tackles, 1.5 for a loss, and one sack.

 

Immediately after arriving at Texas A&M, Garrett began dominating college football. The 6-foot-5, 260-pounder took the game by storm in 2014 as he was an impact-making defender for the Aggies from Day 1. The fast and athletic Garrett was a force on the edge as a quarterback hunter. He had 11.5 sacks as well with 53 tackles and 14 for a loss. That sack total broke the NCAA freshman record previously set by Jadeveon Clowney.

 

In 2015, Garrett kept it going, racking up 59 tackles with 12.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for a loss, five forced fumbles, two passes batted and an interception. He has blinding speed off the edge and is a natural pass-rusher. Garrett could be the best prospect in college football and could have been in the running for the No. 1-overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft if he had been able to declare.

 

San Francisco 49ers: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

 

 

Obviously, the 49ers need a franchise quarterback. The fact that Blaine Gabbert is their starting quarterback to open the 2016 season is an epic failure of San Francisco's front office. In order to challenge Seattle and Arizona, the 49ers need a difference-maker at quarterback.

 

Watson (6-2, 205) has a nice arm and can make some beautiful passes. On the other hand, he is undersized and doesn't play in a pro-style offense. I'm not convinced that Watson is a top of the draft talent, but quarterbacks rise given the demand for the position. If a flawed prospect like Jared Goff can go first overall, a desperate team could definitely overdraft Watson.

 

In 2016, Watson has completed 53 percent of his passes for 540 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. He has turned in subdued performances to open the season against Auburn and Troy. Something has been off with Watson's accuracy as he has completed only 53 percent of his passes this year, but he has plenty of time and weak opponents to get righted against.

 

Watson played really well in 2015 to lead Clemson to the National Championship game, and in that title tilt, he threw for over 400 yards and four touchdowns against an Alabama defense that featured tons of future NFL talent. In 2015, Watson completed 68 percent of his passes for 4,104 yards with 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. On the ground, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,105 yards with 12 scores.

 

Cleveland Browns: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

 

The Browns take the best available player and land a franchise player for their offense. Whoever Cleveland lands at quarterback, having a stud runner like Fournette will improve the odds of that signal-caller panning out. Duke Johnson hasn't been good enough for the Browns to pass on a player like Fournette.

 

To open the 2016 season, Fournette ran for 138 yards on 23 carries with three receptions for 38 yards. He ran well, but his ankle injury was holding back some of the speed and explosion he had as a sophomore.

 

Fournette was a superstar in 2015, overwhelming nearly every defense he took on. The sophomore averaged 6.5 yards per carry over the year for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also caught 19 passes for 253 yards.

 

Fournette is a downhill physical runner who also is a threat to break off long touchdown runs. While obviously big and powerful, he also has some wiggle to him with an elusive running style.

 

There were a lot of comparisons made of Fournette to Adrian Peterson when the former signed with LSU, and he is validating the hype as his running style is very similar to Peterson's. Fournette didn't disappoint in 2014 as as the freshman set the LSU record for yards from a freshman. He averaged 5.5 yards per carry for 1,034 yards with 10 touchdowns. Fournette (6-1, 230) has a serious burst to go along with his size.

 

Pick change; previously Deshaun Watson, QB

Miami Dolphins: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee

 

The Dolphins need a young defensive end given the ages of Mario Williams and Cameron Wake.

 

In 2016, Barnett has eight tackles with two for a loss. He has put a lot of pressure on the quarterback.

 

Barnett racked up 69 tackles with 12.5 for a loss and 10 sacks last season after putting up an extremely impressive freshman campaign the year before. He notched 10 sacks alongside 72 tackles with 20.5 tackles for a loss that season.

 

Barnett (6-3, 268) set freshman records at Tennessee and clearly has a lot of upside. He is a fast edge defender who is a natural pass-rusher.

 

 

San Diego Chargers: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

 

 

The Chargers passed on Laremy Tunsil and Ronnie Stanley in the 2016 NFL Draft. If King Dunlap disappoints again, San Diego will be looking to replace him next offseason.

 

Robinson had a strong debut to the 2016 season, dominating USC. He opened holes in the ground game and showed improved technique in pass protection. Robinson (6-6, 326) was a freshman sensation for the Crimson Tide in 2014. He was the leader on an offensive line that allowed only 16 sacks on the season. Robinson was extremely good in pass protection and also opened holes on the ground.

 

It didn't go as well in 2015 as Robinson allowed pressure and sacks on the quarterback, especially early in the year. He was better down the stretch however, and it wouldn't be surprising if he takes his play to another level in 2016.

 

Robinson provides an impact as a run blocker and has the potential to be a lock-down pass protector. He was able to skate on an arrest this offseason for possession of pot and an illegal gun.

 

 

Tennessee Titans: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

 

The Titans could still use a No. 1 cornerback for their defense. Humphrey would help improve their pass coverage with a true No. 1.

 

To open 2016, Humphrey had an excellent game against USC as he shut down wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, holding him to one catch for nine yards. Humphrey had an interception returned 18 yards for a touchdown and a tackle for a loss in the contest. For 2016, he has four tackles with one tackle for a loss and one pass broken up.

 

After redshirting in 2014, Humphrey had an excellent debut to help Alabama win the National Championship. He earned a starting job across from Cyrus Jones and was the Crimson Tide's top corner. In 2015, Humphrey totaled 45 tackles with three interceptions and eight passes broken up.

 

The 6-foot-1, 198-pounder has height, length and athleticism. He is an Alabama legacy as the son of Bobby Humphrey, a former first-rounder who played for the Dolphins and Broncos.

 

 

New Orleans Saints: Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri

 

The Saints need to improve their edge rush, and Harris could be a nice fit across from Cam Jordan.

 

Harris had a very underwhelming performance against West Virginia to open 2016. He had two tackles along with a couple of nice pass rushes, but for the most part, he was very quiet. In 2016, Harris has five tackles.

 

Harris is a speedy edge rusher who broke out in 2015 with 56 tackles, 18.5 tackles for a loss, seven sacks and two forced fumbles. He was a backup as a redshirt freshman in 2014 and notched two sacks. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound Harris is a fast edge rusher who puts a lot of heat on the quarterback. He is very similar to Vic Beasley and Shane Ray.

 

 

Chicago Bears: Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame

image:

 

Even though left tackle was a huge need, the Bears passed on Laremy Tunsil in the 2016 NFL Draft. Getting a true left tackle is necessary for Chicago. The Texans' edge rushers pummeled Jay Cutler in the 2016 opener, and that could set the tone for a season of weak of edge protection for the Bears.

 

McGlinchey was very impressive in his debut at left tackle for the Fighting Irish. He looked natural in pass protection, and one wouldn't have thought that he wasn't playing the position last year. McGlinchey showed excellent feet to get depth in his kick slide and cut off speed rushers. As a run blocker, McGlinchey can get movement at the point of attack. He flashes heavy hands to push defenders out of their gaps and open holes for his back.

 

McGlinchey also had a nice ability to bend at the knee and that in combination with his feet kept him from having to reach after edge rushers in the season opener. His performance against Texas gave evidence that he is a future starting left tackle in the NFL and a first-round pick.

 

McGlinchey (6-7, 310) is a tough run blocker and has been part of a good Notre Dame line. In 2015, he showed well as a right tackle and had a more physical style of play than Stanley.

 

Atlanta Falcons: Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama

 

 

The Falcons didn't address their pass rush in the early rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft despite a pathetic sack total in 2015. That weakness was on full display in the season opener against Tampa Bay. Thus, Atlanta will probably need more edge and interior rushers next year, especially if Vic Beasley continues to struggle.

 

After two games this year, Allen has seven tackles, three for a loss, three sacks and two passes batted. Against USC, he dominated at the point of attack. He totaled four tackles, two sacks and two passes batted. Allen was very disruptive, using his speed and strength to put a lot of pressure on the quarterback.

 

Allen played really well in 2015 with 36 tackles with 14.5 for a loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes batted. He totaled 33 tackles with 11.5 for a loss and 5.5 sacks the year before.

 

In a 4-3 scheme, the 6-foot-3, 294-pounder could play end and move inside in passing situations. He has rushed from the inside for Alabama, yet also could serve as a rush linebacker or five-technique defensive end in a 3-4 defense. Allen has some natural pass-rushing skills to him along with quickness and strength.

 

Indianapolis Colts: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State

image:

 

 

Some years of bad moves like Trent Richardson and Bjoern Werner are coming back to bite Indianapolis. The Colts have a ton of needs on their roster, including edge rusher, running back, cornerback, defensive line, and more offensive line talent. The defense is in horrible shape, and a lineman who could improve their pass rush and run defense would make sense.

 

To open the 2016 season, McDowell had three tackles with one for a loss. He was a backup in 2014, but broke out last season. At times during 2015, McDowell was the Spartans' most disruptive defensive lineman. He totaled 41 tackles with 13 for a loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a pick-six on the year. The 6-foot-6, 280-pounder has a lot of upside to develop.

 

 

 

Dallas Cowboys: Jalen Tabor, CB, Florida

 

The Cowboys' pass coverage looks shaky, and it was surprising they passed on Jalen Ramsey for Ezekiel Elliott in the 2016 NFL Draft. Here's an upgrade to Dallas' defensive back corps.

 

Because of off-the-field problems, Tabor was suspended for the 2016 opener but he returned in a big way in Week 2. Tabor had an interception, two tackles and played really well against Kentucky.

 

Tabor recorded 40 tackles, 14 passes broken up and four interceptions - two of them being pick-sixes - in 2015. He was a tremendous cover corner on the other side from Vernon Hargreaves III. Tabor did hurt his draft stock with a suspension during his sophomore season as well.

 

Tabor (6-0, 191) had an excellent freshman season in 2014 and stood out as a dynamic partner for Vernon Hargreaves III. Tabor totaled 31 tackles with an interception and eight passes broken up that year. He has man-cover corner skills for the NFL.

 

Detroit Lions: Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida

image: http://walterfootball.com/college/Florida_logo.gif

 

 

The Lions brought back Haloti Ngata, but could use a long-term disruptor for the inside of their defensive line.

 

To open 2016, Brantley recorded one tackle, but he was very disruptive and constantly busting into the backfield against Massachusetts. The 6-foot-2, 314-pounder is a fast at the point of attack with the ability to fire his gap and routinely achieve penetration into the backfield.

 

Brantley flashed a lot of disruption at the point of attack as a redshirt sophomore in 2015. He totaled 29 tackles with 6.5 tackles for a loss and three sacks last season. While that isn't a huge sack total, it is a quality number for an interior defender, and Brantley showed the potential to be a three-down defender in the NFL.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars: Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC

 

 

Jacksonville signed Prince Amukamara to a 1-year contract. Here's a long-term solution at corner.

 

Jackson had an awesome game against Alabama as he shut down star wide receiver Calvin Ridley. He held Ridley to only two receptions for nine yards on the night. Aside from shutting down one of the best wideouts in college football, Jackson showed his speed twice in the game by chasing down a running back downfield and making touchdown-saving tackles on long runs. Jackson also had a 40-yard kick return. While it was a rough night for USC, Jackson gave the NFL proof that he is a serious cover corner prospect for the 2017 NFL Draft. He has six tackles on the season.

 

Jackson played on offense and defense in 2015. He had 35 tackles with eight passes broken up and one interception at corner. As a wide receiver, Jackson had 27 receptions for 414 yards and two touchdowns. The sophomore also returned punts and kicks.

 

Jackson became a starter in 2014 and was a sensation who also contributed as a wide receiver and returner/coverage defender on special teams. Defensively, the freshman had 49 tackles with 10 passes deflected. He also caught 10 receptions for 138 yards with three touchdowns on offense. On special teams, Jackson returned two kickoffs for touchdowns and averaged 30 yards per kick return. For the NFL, the 5-foot-11, 185-pounder looks more like a cornerback.
