Mock Draft 2.0

With the NFL Draft under 24 hours away, the last mock drafts are coming in. There have been movers and shakers in the first round; whether it’s prospects that have draft stocks that are rising or falling, there are changes being made. Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is the projected number one pick but after that, picks 2-224, are anyone’s guess. If Winston doesn’t go number one could it be Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota? Maybe USC defensive tackle Leonard Williams? There are plenty of questions to be answered starting tomorrow night in Chicago, for now we look at just a few more mock drafts.

There are definitely some names that are up in the air; Missouri defensive end Shane Ray and Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory have off the field issues that are a red flag for teams. Gregory, a potential top 10 pick, who failed a drug test at the NFL Combine, admitted to teams that he had smoked while in college. Ray, another potential top 10 pick, was pulled over by police in Missouri and charged with marijuana possession. It remains to be seen if these players' issues will cost them money but don't be surprised if they do slip. 

Another name to watch is Georgia running back Todd Gurley. A former Heisman candidate and what many to considered a lock for the top 5, tore his ACL last November and has been rehabbing since. While he hasn't done any workouts with teams or at the Combine, Gurley's name has beeb creeping up the draft boards. Don't be surprised if his name is called before the end of the first round. 

Former Oklahoma and Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham hasn't played football in nearly two years because of his own off the field issues. Green-Beckham has the size (6'5" 235) and the ability to be a first round pick but those off the field issues can hold him back to the second round. If a team in the first round is in need a wide receiver and he is the next available, it's likely his name will be called.
