Charley Casserly mock draft 1.0: Trades shake up Round 1

» Other mock drafts: | | |

Myles Garrett - DE, Texas A&M: Cleveland gets the best pass rusher in the draft and a veteran quarterback better than any in this particular draft (see projected trade below).

Jonathan Allen - DE, Alabama: Allen is an excellent 3-4 defensive end who gives you an inside pass rush.

Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State: In the NFC North, you need cornerbacks with terrific cover skills; Lattimore fits the description.

Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU: In my opinion, Fournette does some things better than Adrian Peterson.

Jamal Adams, S, LSU: Adams has excellent cover skills and does not shy away as a run defender.

Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama: Foster reminds me of Luke Kuechly. Tough to pass up for Jets.

Malik Hooker - S, Ohio State: The Chargers take a safety with excellent cover skills.

Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State: A big-play back for a team that loves to run the ball.

Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama: Williams can line up as an outside linebacker or defensive end. In either position, he's an outstanding pass rusher.

Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina: Bills get the draft's top quarterback in a weak group.

Sidney Jones, CB, Washington: The Saints' rebuilding of the defense continues with the selection of Jones.

Derek Barnett, OLB, Tennessee: (Projected trade with Cleveland for QB Jimmy Garoppolo) The Patriots are in need of pass rushers.

Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama: Patrick Peterson needs a partner; Humphrey would be an excellent complement.

Mike Williams, WR, Clemson: The Eagles realize they need to get more help for Carson Wentz.

Teez Tabor, CB, Florida: Colts need to fix their defense. This pick could also be a pass rusher.

John Ross, WR, Washington: Ravens take the highest player remaining on their board. Ross fills a need, too.

Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford: Thomas is a solid run defender who can give you an inside pass rush as well.

Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin: (Projected trade up with Tennessee from No. 23) The Giants trade up to get the left tackle they so desperately need.

Charles Harris, DE, Missouri: Tampa Bay needs a bookend to Noah Spence in order to take improving defense to next level.

Garett Bolles, OT, Utah The offensive line failed the Broncos in 2016; Bolles will help.

Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama: Robinson would replace Riley Reiff at right tackle should Reiff leave in free agency.

Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State: Conley is a fine press corner who has the potential to play off coverage.

Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan: (Projected trade down with New York Giants from No. 18) Marcus Mariota gets much-needed receiving help.

Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU: Raiders need to upgrade their cornerback position; White is a nice start.

Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan: Texans swing for the fences with a wild card in the first round. Peppers is a boom-or-bust pick.

Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford: Thomas Rawls has proven he can't be reliable.

Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt: Derrick Johnson is coming off an injury and is at the tail end of his career. Cunningham is a WILL linebacker who is very athletic and instinctive.

Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida: I could see the Cowboys trading out of this spot to the second round.

Takkarist McKinley, OLB, UCLA: Nick Perry is a free agent and Julius Peppers is nearing retirement. And the Packers know their way around the UCLA campus.

Taco Charlton, OLB, Michigan: The Steelers need a cornerback and pass rusher, but Alabama TE O.J. Howard might be too highly rated to pass up at this spot.

Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC: The is still on their minds; they know they need cornerback help.

O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama: "Trader Bill" might bail out of this spot, but the Patriots could lose Martellus Bennett in free agency and Gronk's health has to be a major concern.
