There's a few surprises in here. Particularly with my love of the interior OL prospects in this draft.

I think the Cowboys want to continue "building a bully" so slotted Hernandez to them instead of taking a less talented player at a bigger need like WR. Cowboys will win or lose by their running game and OL.

With that same idea in mind, the Jaguars absolutely share that same approach grabbing Billy Price. Leonard Fournette running behind those goons Norwell and Price?! Ouch :(

I honestly think the Colts are trading down again if they can get away with it. But grabbing best CB in the draft since no trades in this mock.

Bucs go BPA here. Which I think is a huge need that is being undersold by the mainstream draftnicks. That OL was not good last year and they have to give Winston all the tools to succeed just like every other team with a 1st round QB.

Raiders getting Minkah Fitzpatrick is such a Gruden move. He was nicknamed "Nick Saban's son" because he shared such a similar work ethic/passion for winning. Total "Gruden Grinder"!

Went Marcus Davenport over Jaire Alexander for Packers because of scarcity of the position over CB. I think Alexander fits them best because he matches up with the quicker WRs in the division better than any other CB like Golden Tate and Diggs. Just not enough edge rushers to go around which makes me think Davenport or Landry are going to be the surprise "reach" like Corey Davis going #5 to the Titans last year. But I can't figure out who takes that chance so I take him with GB.

Steelers go Guice because the top LBs off the board. Could go CB but I figure that Bell's difficulty in negotiations forces their hand.
