2016 NFL MOCK DRAFT 1.0

Image
My mock is listed on Walter Football's Mock Draft Database along with over 300 mock drafts: http://walterfootball.com/draftdata.php I did my draft order based on Vegas' win odds http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/story.cfm/story/1672706 I did tie breakers based on which teams had the better QB.  For the playoffs I mixed Vegas odds with my own projections (and what I want to see next year)  which is a Rodgers vs. Luck Super Bowl.  Here is my Mock Draft 1.0 ENJOY  First Round 1. OAKLAND RAIDERS (5.5)  JOEY BOSA-DE/EDGE-OHIO ST.   6-6/276 NFL Comparison: JJ Watt/Chris Long   Bosa is a straight up BEAST. The guy just makes play after play and has a non stop motor. It will be interesting to see how he plays with the spotlight on him all year. JJ Watt is his ceiling and Chris Long is probably his floor barring an injury. Bosa looks like the clear cut #1 pick on most draft boards right now. 2014 College Stats: Sacks:  13.5 Tackles For Loss:  21.0 Forced Fumbles
