For those not familiar with McGinn, he is basically the new king of the night before mocks, much like how Gosselin was.
Mock draft: Bob McGinn's projections
Bob McGinn , Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 9:08 p.m. CT April 26, 2017 | Updated 17 minutes ago
A quick overview of who Bob McGinn thinks will be available when the Packers pick and who he thinks the selection will be.
Bob McGinn's projections for Thursday's first round of the 2017 NFL draft:
1. CLEVELAND BROWNS: Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
Owner Jimmy Haslam intercedes at the 11th hour, deciding that a future with Cody Kessler and Brock Osweiler is like none at all. He made a comparable move with Johnny Manziel (No. 22) in 2014.
2. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: Myles Garrett, DE,Texas A&M
Neophyte GMs aren’t supposed to have it this easy. Having the scouts’ consensus choice as the best player in the draft fall into your lap isn’t a bad way to start for John Lynch.
3. CHICAGO BEARS: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford
Joins DE Akiem Hicks and NT Eddie Goldman to give the Bears a defensive line rivaling the Vikings’ in the NFC North.
4. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Jonathan Allen, DT, Alabama
New personnel czar Tom Coughlin feasted on first-round D-linemen in New York. His developing O-line isn’t capable of fronting an offense built around Leonard Fournette.
5. TENNESSEE TITANS-a: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
Looking to trade down for additional picks. In conjunction with Delanie Walker, QB Marcus Mariota would have two major weapons at tight end.
6. NEW YORK JETS: Jamal Adams, S, Louisiana State
Former GM John Idzik didn’t get it right in 2014 by taking SS Calvin Pryor at No. 18, two slots ahead of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. Mike Maccagnan, his successor, tries strong safety again with Adams.

7. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
SS Jahleel Addae is the Chargers’ only legitimate safety. Hooker, a free safety, should be an excellent match.
8. CAROLINA PANTHERS: Leonard Fournette, RB, Louisiana State
The Panthers got a lot of mileage from Jonathan Stewart (13th pick, 2008) but he’s 30, entering his 10th year and nearing the end. Fournette gives GM Dave Gettleman all the speed he has been seeking.
9. CINCINNATI BENGALS: Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama
Foster brings risk (medical, character), but the Bengals never have been been bashful in that department. A defense that was 31st overall and against the run just gained an identity.
10. BUFFALO BILLS: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
The Bills lost No. 1 CB Stephon Gilmore to New England in free agency, starter Ronald Darby wasn’t as effective in 2016 as he was in ’15 and Kevon Seymour is untested.
--------
28. DALLAS COWBOYS: Charles Harris, DE, Missouri
Pass-rushing DEs Greg Hardy, DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory all came up short. Benson Mayowa, their leading sacker, led the team with six.
29. GREEN BAY PACKERS: Kevin King, CB, Washington
If the draft breaks like this, Ted Thompson will have to choose between King, Tre’Davious White and OLB T.J. Watt. The Packers love King, and cornerback trumps all their other needs.
30. PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
Martavis Bryant is back on a conditional return from suspension but GM Kevin Colbert can’t count on him.
31. ATLANTA FALCONS: Tre’Davious White, CB, Louisiana State
Like Green Bay, the Falcons have a void at RG. Temple’s Dion Dawkins could factor here. So, too, might DL Malik McDowell, the consummate boom-or-bust prospect.
32. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS-d: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Drew Brees, 38, enters his 17th season. If the Saints don’t draft Watson, it’s possible another team will move up and do it.
