I'm standing on the platform looking at the Ramsey train and thinking I should climb aboard. Every draft evaluation has him near the top, generally over the DL. BPA at a position of need is a tough argument to counter. And a quality 5 tech can be had later.McShay's 2016 NFL Mock Draft 4.0: Predicting the first two rounds

The 2016 NFL draft is now just over a month away, making it a good time to release my fourth mock draft. This one, unlike the three prior, goes two rounds deep.

My tape study of nearly all the top prospects is now complete, and the free-agency frenzy is behind us, so we're dealing with a much clearer picture of team needs. There has also been a change to the draft order in this edition, with the Dolphins and Eagles swapping first-rounders as part of the Byron Maxwell/Kiko Alonso trade.
Let's dive into the picks.
1. Tennessee Titans
Laremy Tunsil, OT, Mississippi
The Titans have made it clear they're open to trading the No. 1 overall pick, but general manager Jon Robinson also emphasized last week they would need a substantial offer to do so. If they keep the pick, I could see them going in one of three directions: pass-rusher (Joey Bosa is the most obvious candidate), defensive back (Jalen Ramsey) or left tackle (Tunsil). I'll stick with Tunsil for now. He's the most talented offensive lineman in the draft, and it's a clear need for the Titans, who have to protect the QB better this season after they allowed 54 sacks total in 2015.
2. Cleveland Browns
Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State
Even if the Browns sign Robert Griffin III or trade for Colin Kaepernick, they still should use this pick on a quarterback. Since returning to the NFL in 1999, Cleveland has had 24 different starting quarterbacks, five more than any other team in the league. Wentz and Cal's Jared Goff are extremely close on my board, with the North Dakota State product slightly ahead. Wentz has the height, sturdy frame, natural accuracy and on-field leadership you look for in a QB.
3. San Diego Chargers
Jalen Ramsey, DB, Florida State
Defensive line is another need for the Chargers, but with Eric Weddle gone, San Diego will likely look to upgrade its secondary in the draft. Ramsey's ability to play both corner and safety gives him added value to the Chargers, who aren't set at either position. An All-America track-and-field star at Florida State, Ramsey is an extremely rare athlete and one of the best all-around football players in this draft.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
Let’s win one for Mack.Comment

Theres a few linebackers in this draft i think may end up playing some SS in the NFL. Deion Jones, Cravens and Jack. I really like all 3 of these players.Comment

Would you be disappointed if we took Jack at 3? I think I would. If we dropped down to say 6-7-8, then I'd be pretty stoked.Originally posted by Fleet View PostComment

Only problem is....he likely wouldn't be there at 6,7,8. I'd have no problem with him at 3. Outstanding versatility, whether he plays ILB or SS he fills a need. Behind Teo and Perryman we have nothing.....Originally posted by ArtistFormerlyKnownAsBKR View PostComment

I think Jack is a guy that you can use every week in a way that matches him up perfectly with an opponents strength. Slot one week. Take out a TE the next week. Just a Jack of all trades player that can eliminate a teams bigger threat. He can cover these stud TEs we face. Maybe cover slot WRs. Spy a RB etc. Every week a defense will have a weakness and he can help cover that weakness. But you dont take a player at 3 without knowing where he fits in your base defense. Unless he is used at MLB. Or SS. You take a player at 3 knowing where he is going to fit right away. I dont think hes close to being Luke Kuechly at MLB. But hes more versatile. So he sort of confuses me as to where he fits in our base D. If we are running more of a 43 under/over base then he can play MIKE like Wagner in Seattle. Only hes not as good at shedding blocks yet.Originally posted by ArtistFormerlyKnownAsBKR View Post
The thing with Jack is that he could end up being a Wagner type....a Chancellor type on any given week with his versatility.Comment

Would we keep Jack in the box, or would we move him around?
Would we win with Jack, or would we continue to win jack.
If we get Jack, will we have to convince Roper that Jack is gay?
Is Jack a hammer or a knave?
If the draft has Jack showing, do we double down, split, or take the insurance? If it's insurance, Jack needs to be an ace.
Does Jack have good field vision, or is he more of a one-eyed Jack?
If we get him, I hope Jack is the shit at pass rushing because, for the most part, our pass rushers do jack shit.
I can't get jacked about this season until I hear the Chargers are staying in San Diego.Comment

If we draft him I got a Jack boot for your ass!
Don't be all Jacked up if we draft Jack shit at center or OG.
I hope we don't get Jacked in a trade down on draft picks only to draft him.Go Rivers!Comment

Why you gotta jack with me?Originally posted by Stinky Wizzleteats+ View Post
I wouldn't mind a trade down that results in us getting two early-round interior linemen who will keep Rivers from getting jacked.
But usually I just say pick the best player available mostly because I know jack about the draft.Comment
