I think I am giving up on this site.  You consistently have the Niners picking a CB in the 1st 2 rounds for I don't know how long.  Their CBs are fine and they don't put a premium on the position.  Their philosophy has always been, put pressure with the DL and the CB looks better.  Any CBs would look terrible last year with the DL they had.  You have them drafting a DL/DT in the 1st round when they drafted 2 last year and already traded for one this offseason, not a position of need at this point.  They glaring holes at Edge, OL and need youth at WR.  They may draft a CB/Safety in round 4, but not before that.  Unless a top 10 talent that is not an Edge, OT or WR is there at #27, they will select one of those 3 positions.  You don't have them addressing any of their glaring needs with their 1st two picks.

I'm liking MIA/McCoy more and more every day. Desperate need...the RAS aspect...it all makes sense. Assuming Fano is off the board, it feels like a layup. (There's talk that CLE may like Fano as a LT at 1.06.) 

Excellent, waterproof mock as usual. Out of curiosity, do you think there are any prime trade spots in the top 10? I'm thinking CLE at 1.06. If Sonny Styles falls out of the top-5, I could see DAL moving up for him. I also think TB wants to come out of this draft with an elite EDGE. Could be a trade for Maxx Crosby, a trade up for Bailey or Bain...who knows. All I know is that my mocks always have TB landing Mesidor or Faulk, and neither feel right. Bowles is on the hot seat and the Bucs are in danger of losing NFC South dominance to CAR unless they make a bold move for a difference-making EDGE opposite Diaby.

Tony Pauline stated that Lemon "won't get past the Rams" at 1.13. Still, I wonder if we're falling into a trap. (I've had Lemon to the Rams in my mock so far, too.) The Rams led the NFL in 2 and 3 TE looks last season, and I think it was only partly for the lack of a quality WR3 - I think it's what they want to do on offense. If that's the case, I could see them moving down a bit for one of the RT prospects (not sold on McClendon as the long-term answer) or maybe even plug Ioane in at LG and move Avila back to C. The ultimate move would be a move up for Mauiga.

Watch out for the Bucs to move up for Bailey or Bain. My mocks always have TB plugging their EDGE hole opposite Diaby with Mesidor or Faulk, but both feel forced. The Bucs usually go for highly productive prospects that fit the scheme.

I like the Cowboys to move up, too - but not for Bailey. My hunch is they want Sonny Styles. If Styles is available at 1.06, I can see the Browns trading down with DAL.

Why would the Browns draft a QB?  They have the un-cuttable albatross that is Watson and 2 developmental QBs on the roster already.  And a Day 3 QB would be more of the same.

Just two weeks to go, and this is my latest mock, with free agency pretty much wrapped and with most players already having completed their athletic testing at the Combine and/or their Pro Days. We're into the season of Top 30 visits, and more trusted mock draft insiders are dropping nuggets of info. Just one round for this one, at least for now. Will likely add Round 2 soon.
