The two extra weeks of NFL Draft season have led to way too much smoke and speculation. It’s one of the most confusing drafts ever, with beat writers for the same teams often wildly differing in their own projections and information.

Because of that, mock draft accuracy figures to be at an all-time low.

Here’s my best guess at what is going to happen for each and every pick, all 256 of them. I did include some trades, because they do happen and figure to happen a lot this year too. Commentary is limited for time reasons and because the “you’re an idiot” crowd never reads them anyways. Don’t be that guy!

This is a projection of what the teams might do in the draft, and it does not necessarily represent the choices I would make in the same situation.

Round 1

1. Houston Texans: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina. If they don’t take him #1, someone else will. One alternate scenario: The Falcons trade up and select Greg Robinson, Houston falls back to 6. The Rams take Clowney #2, the Texans take Derek Carr at No. 6.

2. *Atlanta Falcons (trade with St. Louis): Greg Robinson, T, Auburn. Atlanta makes the move up, but they surprise by taking a tackle to protect their investment in Matt Ryan instead of upgrading the pass rush. They trade #6 plus 3rd rounders this year and next to make it happen.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo. Mack is the pick if he’s on the board, an instant upgrade at pass rushing and the defense overall. Plan B is Sammy Watkins. 

4. Cleveland Browns: Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M: I was given this info in early March that the Browns had Evans as the top player on their board and that they vastly prefer to wait on the QB front. Many others have come and gone from this take. I’m sticking to it.

5. *Tampa Bay Buccaneers (trade with Oakland): Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M. The Buccaneers make the preemptive jump to squelch any chance that the Rams alleged coveting of Mr. Football is not a smokescreen. They send the 7th pick, QB Mike Glennon and a 5th round pick to the Raiders to make it happen.

6. *St. Louis Rams (trade with Atlanta): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson. In the spirit of doing everything they can to help Sam Bradford, they get him the most dynamic wideout in the draft.

7. *Oakland Raiders (trade with Tampa Bay): Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh. For the second year in a row the Raiders trade back and then still take a player somewhat higher than he’s widely presumed to come off the board. Donald is an outstanding interior disruptor who helps fill one of their gaping roster holes.

8. Minnesota Vikings: Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State. Even though GM Rick Speilman got burned reaching for Christian Ponder, he still knows his team cannot progress further until they upgrade the QB position. I strongly believe Carr is a top 10 pick, and this is the last team in the top 10 that will take a QB.

9. Buffalo Bills: Jake Matthews, T, Texas A&M. My Buffalo Bills Draft colleague Joe Marino (@TheJoeMarino) has steadfastly maintained that this draft is all about helping E.J. Manuel achieve his full potential. Taking the best tackle remaining on their board accomplishes that. Plan B is Zack Martin.

10. *New York Jets (trade with Detroit): Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU. The Lions would not mind trading down at all, and the Jets gets take advantage, climbing up from #18 to get the dynamic, sticky-handed wideout. They part with #49 and their 2015 3rd round pick to make it happen. If the Lions stick here in this situation, they take Anthony Barr. I think.

11. Tennessee Titans: Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA. Too many semi-informed people I sort of trust tell me this is the pick. Who am I to argue? Can also see Taylor Lewan here.

12. New York Giants: Zack Martin, T, Notre Dame. This is another pick that I’ve held onto since very early versions of mock drafts this year. Nothing I’ve seen or heard leads me to change it. Sleeper pick: RaShede Hageman. Seriously.

13. St. Louis Rams: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State. Never forget that Jeff Fisher is, at his core, a defensive back guru. Gilbert has such tantalizing athleticism and just enough skill that I have a hard time seeing Fisher pass him over. Lewan makes sense here too especially if they didn’t get a tackle earlier.

14. Chicago Bears: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama. This pick took the least amount of thought and deliberation in the entire mock. I know an NFL player who quit the game because he wasn’t better than the Bears' safeties of the last few years. Of course my narrow focus here is likely to bite my butt, and they wind up taking RaShede Hageman or Kyle Fuller.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers: RaShede Hageman, DL, Minnesota. There are whispers that this is one of those surprise picks, and at face value it makes a lot of sense. Hageman’s potential is viewed very highly by NFL folks I’ve talked with, and his best position is 3-4 end. I do not buy the Eric Ebron talk, but the Kelvin Benjamin talk makes me raise an eyebrow a la The Rock.

16. *San Francisco 49ers (trade with Dallas): Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State. This is based on nothing more than a wild stab at the unpredictable. The Niners, for some reason, package together picks #30, 56 and #77 to move up and get the giant but inconsistent wideout. If the Cowboys stay here in this situation, say hello to Calvin Pryor.

17. Baltimore Ravens: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina. While many people see this as Ebron’s draft floor, I think this is as high as he goes. Lots of speculation abounds that the Ravens have interest, and he’s the kind of person GM Ozzie Newsome tends to favor.

18. *Detroit Lions (trade with NY Jets): Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State. After moving back, the Lions wind up adding the outside linebacker they sorely need. Shazier can blitz, and playing behind Suh and Ansah will keep him free from blockers, overcoming his biggest weakness.

19. Miami Dolphins: Xavier Su’a-Filo, OL, UCLA. He’s the best guard in this draft, but many believe he can also play right tackle. Miami happens to need both, so he offers them flexibility as they rebuild the black hole of an offensive line. If Ryan Shazier is on the board, he’s the pick.

20. Arizona Cardinals: Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech. He’s nothing more than a situational pass rusher in his first couple of seasons, but that’s exactly what the Cardinals need. He’s got potential to make this seeming reach look real smart. Calvin Pryor has to be a possibility too.

21. Green Bay Packers: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville. I’ll freely admit this here: I don’t think this will end up being the pick. Yet I keep Pryor penciled in here because none of the other options (Marqise Lee, C.J. Mosley, Kyle Fuller, Bradley Roby, Taylor Lewan) seem any more likely. Trade back here for a team chasing a QB could very well happen, perhaps Cleveland coming to get Blake Bortles.

Okay, longer note here. My gut feeling here is that the Packers do trade out and some team comes up and picks Teddy Bridgewater. Call it Jacksonville. Green Bay falls back and takes a wide receiver, say Davante Adams.

22. Philadelphia Eagles: Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana. One of the things I’ve consistently heard from people around the Eagles is that coach Chip Kelly doesn’t believe in smoke without fire. They’ve spent a lot of time working out Latimer, and even though he seems like a desperate reach here, he does fit what Kelly likes at the position.

23. Kansas City Chiefs: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State. Andy Reid has to love what Cooks offers, a dynamic runner after the catch with elite quickness and mental toughness. If Cooks is not the pick and they take Bradley Roby or Darqueze Dennard, he should be.

24. Cincinnati Bengals: Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State. I strongly suspect this pick would be a cornerback in this situation. In a tiebreaker between otherwise equal players, Roby’s Buckeye ties prevail with owner Mike Brown. Teddy Bridgewater wouldn’t surprise me though.

25. *Houston Texans (trade with San Diego): Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida. Houston jumps QB-needy Cleveland and trades picks 33 and 65 to San Diego to move up and get a player long linked to them with the 1st overall pick. The Chargers would go corner here, Kyle Fuller or Darqueze Dennard I suspect.

26. Cleveland Browns: Teddy Bridgewater, QB Louisville. When all is said and done, I strongly believe Bridgewater is a first-round pick. Cleveland makes as much sense as anyplace else. If they’ve already taken a QB before here, Kyle Fuller fits the bill.

27. New Orleans Saints: Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame. Playing 3-4 end in a Ryan Brother defense is probably the best case for the enigmatic Tuitt, who looked like a top 20 pick in 2012 but largely undraftable in ’13. He could go here, he could a full round later. Kony Ealy and Dee Ford also make sense. I don’t think they go after a wideout. Sleeper pick: Marcus Martin.

28. Carolina Panthers: Taylor Lewan, T, Michigan. This is Lewan’s floor, and I’m sticking to my guns here that he’s not going nearly as high as most people expect. Great fit between skills and need.

29. New England Patriots: Marqise Lee, WR, USC. The Patriots are unpredictable, so I opted with the player with the highest upside at a relative position of need here. Could be Marcus Martin, could be C.J. Mosley, could be Cyrus Kouandjio. It also could be Tom Savage, in conjunction with a Ryan Mallett trade.

30. *Dallas Cowboys (trade with SF): Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri. Ealy is in play for Dallas if they stay at 16, so getting him at 30 seems like a no-brainer. They’ve got to add at least one safety in the first two rounds, but it’s not the best value here.

31. *Jacksonville Jaguars (trade with Denver): Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern Illinois. The Jaguars move up to snag their QB of the future. The deal is made as much about securing that 5-year option by having it a first-round pick as it is targeting Garoppolo. They part with picks 39 and 114 to move up. If Denver sits here, they take Kyle Fuller.

32. Seattle Seahawks: JaWuan James, T, Tennessee. I’ll freely admit it: this is me trying to look smart by having James as a first rounder. He probably belongs here anyways.
