Dorf’s One and Only NFL Mock Draft
Jack Conklin NFL Draft
#74 Jack Conklin, the 11th overall pick in this mock draft.

11. Chicago Bears

Defensive End/Outside Linebacker – University of Georgia – Leonard Floyd

The Chicago Bears cannot rush the passer whatsoever. They will address that issue by drafting diet Von Miller with their first selection. Floyd will by dynamic off the edge but will struggle early in his career to anchor against the run. If the Bears can work him in so he can hone that skill, you have another solid edge rusher for years to come.

12. New Orleans Saints

Offensive Tackle – Michigan State University – Jack Conklin

The Saints have their franchise Left Tackle in Terron Armstead and will have him locked down for some time to come. Right Tackle Zach Streif isn’t getting any younger. They could use Conklin at Right Tackle and slide Streif inside to a guard spot or start Conklin off slow at guard. However it plays out, this pick is a win for the Saints.

13. Miami Dolphins (from Philadelphia Eagles)

Cornerback – University of Houston – William Jackson

The Dolphins cut Brent Grimes because of his bat shit crazy wife and his high cap number. They need to find his replacement. Jackson is big and fast but is a bit raw at the finer points of the game. That is something that can be easily coached up. You can’t coach the kind of speed/size combo that Jackson possesses.

14. Oakland RaidersĀ 

Defensive Tackle – University of Louisville – Sheldon Rankins

The Raiders have an absolute lack of talent on the Defensive Line outside of Khalil Mack. They should probably address that gaping hole as soon as possible.

15. Tennessee Titans (from Los Angeles Rams)

Offensive Tackle – The Ohio State University – Taylor Decker

Another reach necessitated by having a huge need at a keystone position. Decker isn’t likely going to be able to serve as a franchise Left Tackle, but he sertantly has to be better than Taylor Lewan, who’s been an absolute bust. Either way they’ll get an upgrade at a postion of need.

16. Detroit Lions

Defensive End – University of Clemson – Shaq Lawson

The Detroit Lions need help getting to the passer, there is no doubt about that. Shaq Lawson when paired with Ziggy Ansah is going to make Quarterbacks in the NFC North shit their pants. Imagine that, Aaron Rodgers with a Brown stain on his yellow pants. That’d be hilarious. The Lions could also go offensive tackle here if Conklin, Tunsil, or Stanley fall this far.

17. Atlanta Falcons

Linebacker – The Ohio State University – Darron Lee

The Atlanta Falcons are very short staffed at Linebacker. Why not take the best one in the draft? Darron Lee will fit perfectly with what they want to do there in Atlanta. He’s fast as hell and is a hitter. Atlanta will be very happy with Darron Lee.

18. Indianapolis Colts

Offensive Tackle – Indiana University Bloomington – Jason Spriggs

The Colts offensive line consists of Anthony Castanzo and four bums. The Colts will reduce the amount of bums by drafting one out of their home state, Indiana Left Tackle Jason Spriggs. Spriggs will likely start as either a Left Guard or Right Tackle but could have a quality career everywhere but at Center. However the Colts choose to use him, he will be a quality player for them.

19. Buffalo Bills

Linebacker – University of Alabama – Reggie Ragland

The Jets could use a linebacker that is a beast at stopping the run. Currently their linebacking corps is weak and undermanned. They will need to add at least two on draft day why not start the day off by adding the scheme versatile Ragland.

20. New York Jets

Quarterback – University of Memphis – Paxton Lynch

Geno Smith blows and the Jets still haven’t re-signed stop gap Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick, who is older than dirt. They need to take their Quarterback situation seriously and draft the long term answer. Paxton Lynch is the best guy left, so he’ll be their guy right here.
