1. Cleveland Browns: Joey Bosa, DE, Cleveland Browns
Yes, the Browns have been searching for a playoff-caliber quarterback since 1999, but they’ve also lacked a legitimate pass rush. And if the Browns aren’t sold on a quarterback in this draft class (and it’s too early to say either way whether or not they are), Bosa has the physical gifts and instincts to make an instant impact.

2. Tennessee Titans: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi
The Titans addressed the offensive line two years ago with Taylor Lewan, but still have a need on the other side. Tunsil has the talent to play either left or right tackle and is ready to step in from day one.

3. San Diego Chargers: Ronnie Stanley, OT,Notre Dame
The Chargers offensive line has been an exercise of musical chairs this season, but drafting a talent like Stanley could help fix that. The Notre Dame left tackle needs mechanical refinement, but his athleticism and upside are worthy of top-10 consideration.

4. Baltimore Ravens: Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State
Baltimore cornerbacks Jimmy Smith and Lardarius Webb are locked into long-term contracts, but both have struggled to stay healthy and the Ravens can’t pass up a talent like Ramsey if he’s still available here.

5. Dallas Cowboys: Myles Jack, LB, UCLA
The Cowboys defense needs help at each level, including at linebacker, especially with the futures of Rolando McClain (free agent) and Sean Lee (injuries) in doubt. Although currently sidelined with a knee injury, Jack has top-10 talent if his rehab is on track.

6. Detroit Lions: Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida
With a new front office, the Lions will be a wildcard in the first round, especially if Detroit makes a splash with one of the high-priced contracts (Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, etc.) on the current roster. Hargreaves both fits a need for the Lions and has the talent to warrant this selection.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss
The Jaguars’ coaching staff and front office value versatility on the defensive line and Nkemdiche offers just that with his athletic ability to line up inside as a three technique or outside at end. He isn’t yet a polished product, but his potential is enticing.

8. San Francisco 49ers: Jared Goff, QB,California
Would the 49ers move on from Colin Kaepernick? The way he has played (six touchdowns and five interceptions over eight games), San Francisco might not have a choice. Goff, who grew up right outside San Francisco, is still growing as a passer, but his ceiling has scouts intrigued.

9. Houston Texans: Paxton Lynch, QB, Houston
If Bill O’Brien is still the head coach in Houston next offseason, pencil in a quarterback for the Texans in the first round. Lynch is a very toolsy prospect who will check a lot of boxes for evaluators.

10. New Orleans Saints: Laquon Treadwell, WR, Mississippi
Regardless of who is at quarterback, the Saints need to find the “new” Marques Colston – a large target with athleticism. That description fits Treadwell who is a less dynamic version of Dez Bryant.

I would admittedly be extremely agitated if the Cowboys had their pick of Goff or Lynch and passed them up for Jack. I don't think the Cowboys will end up with a shot at either, but would be complaining loudly and for a long time if they pass on either one.

While Myles Jack is a great prospect when healthy, I would be extremely agitated taking someone coming off a knee injury with the fifth pick in the draft.

You dont pass on a franchise QB for a MLB.

Its not Martin VS Manziel where you pass on a very questionable prospect for a sure thing

You and me both.

I the last 7 games haven't opened the eyes to people to the effect a QB of Romo's calibre on this team then I don't know what will.

Unless you think neither Goff or Lynch are franchise QBs.

There are a lot of questions about both Lynch and Goff. So if the Cowboys don't think either really is a franchise guy, then absolutely, I wouldn't want them wasting the 5th pick on a QB that aren't even sure can be any good.

The flaw that some have in this thread is assuming that if a QB is there with a top pick, the Cowboys would even think that QB has a future.

Whew. I thought you were going to post that it is a waste of time to draft a QB since Romo is going to play another five years and we would be drafting to develop a QB for someone else.

I don't see the team investing the 5th pick on a backup player who they don't anticipate playing for several years.

I agree. Its similar to Manziel/Martin. There was some interest in Manziel within the organization ( Stephan Jones gushed about him pre draft) but they didnt feel good enough about him to take him over an elite LB prospect (Shazier) or a cant miss OL prospect.

I will say this, if we are picking top 5, its more likely they will like the QB prospect then at 22. Manziel had a lot of holes, alot more then Goff or Lynch

Only the Cleveland Browns would draft a player who's already on their roster. :eek:

That's the question.
All anyone has to do is go back nearly every year for the last decade and see QBs being touted as world-beaters in November who later end up either not going in the first round or going in round 1 and failing.

I'm not saying Lynch and Goff are that, but we can be sure the closer look analysis is in its infancy.

If Dallas sees them as clear franchise guys, they won't pass.
Unlike 2 years ago, there's a legit chance that Romo would retire in the middle of their rookie deals. Much better timing for the 2016 draft vs 2014...and even better in 2017.

Neither Goff nor Lynch is a sure thing. It's not like they are Andrew Luck.

I am looking to trade down if Ramsey or Tunsil is off the board.

If Goff and Lynch are stillborn the board I imagine the Cowboys would be getting some pretty sweet trade up offers .

Its not necessarily that to me. We could always invest heavily in a really good b/u. My rationale is you likely need to suck and have a top pick to draft a franchise QB. If they've already done the sucking, then if they have Goff or Lynch highly rated take them. They don't have to trade up, they don't have to tank for another year and they get to sit that QB behind Romo for a couple years.

I totally agree.
