NFL Round 1 Winners and Losers

Winners
-Denver gets their QB of the future in Paxton Lynch (Does this mean Mark Sanchez is the starter for the Bronco's this year?)
-Ezekiel Elliott goes to Dallas and as a three down back lands in perhaps the best place. Easy to see Darren McFadden becoming the backup behind Elliott sooner rather than later.
-JAX Defense with Jalen Ramsey
-Brown's got a lot of draft picks with two smart trades to move down and still got a good WR in Corey Coleman


Losers
-NYG with a reach at 10 to take CB Eli Apple. I think they were ambushed when CHI and TEN moved up in the draft and took their favourites.
-Laremy Tunsil dropped in the draft spots due to a picture posted on social media 10 minutes before the draft. Obviously this young man had someone out to sabotage his draft value.
-SF in not getting Paxton Lynch...not once but twice in the first round. Time will tell but looks like Colin Kaepernick is staying and starting in SF for Chip Kelly.
-Myles Jack and Jaylon Smith went undrafted in the first round due to injuries.

NFL Mock Draft 4.0

Here is my mock 4.0 for the 2016 NFK Draft which occurs on 28 April (3 days and counting...). It has been about 2 weeks since my last predictions...and the top 2 picks are now with different teams as LA Rams traded with TEN for the #1 overall and PHI moved into the #2 spot with a trade to CLE.

1     LA Rams    Jared Goff QB

3     SD         Laremy Tunsil    OT (when the best OT falls to you at #3 you take him) 
4     DAL       Joey Bosa             DE (J .Ramsey if SD goes Bosa) (Jerry wants Ezekiel Elliot but calmer heads will prevail)
5     JAX        Myles Jack           LB (good fit here)
6     BAL       DeForest Buckner DE
7     SF           Paxton Lynch            QB

18    IND      Taylor Decker     OT
19    BUF      Kevin Dodd          DE

LA Rams Grab Headlines With Trade For #1 Pick in 2016

The LA Rams traded up with the Tennessee Titans from 15th to secure the #1 pick overall in the 2016 draft.
Few people left on the planet doubt that they will go after a QB-either Carson Wentz or Jared Goff.

 It makes perfect sense to try and get the #1 pick since it creates buzz for the new LA Team (former STL Rams). Plus with a QB choice they are setting to tone for the team for years to come...hopefully a stud. 

 The price was pretty steep in terms of draft picks paid: two second round picks and a third round pick this year and a first round and third round in 2017 and the Rams 15th pick this year. The Rams get a fourth and sixth this year and the #1 pick overall this year.
