Wang Mock Draft: Rams take Jared Goff No. 1, leaving Carson Wentz for Browns

1. RAMS

Jared Goff, QB, Califoia

The Rams make a huge trade and grab the quarterback most ready to play immediately. Goff isn’t as physically impressive as Carson Wentz, but he has terrific pocket presence, makes quick decisions, and won’t fold under pressure. In the franchise’s retu to Los Angeles, the Califoia native would make for a solid headliner.

2. BROWNS

Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State

Hue Jackson is getting his second shot as a head coach, and there may be no better way to prove himself worthy than by resurrecting Robert Griffin III. Still, this moribund franchise badly needs a franchise quarterback, and buying two lottery tickets is better than one.

3. CHARGERS

Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss

Once regarded as the consensus No. 1 overall pick, Tunsil slides a bit due to the big shakeup at the top of the draft.

4. COWBOYS

Jalen Ramsey, CB/FS, Florida State

Dallas has its choice of top defenders at No. 4, and Ramsey could end up being the top player in this draft — one who could develop as a coerback or a safety.

5. JAGUARS

Myles Jack, LB, UCLA

Jack’s knee is reportedly causing conce, but the two-way college star moved well at UCLA’s Pro Day, recording a 40-inch vertical while feeling less than 100 percent.

6. RAVENS

DeForest Buckner, DE, Oregon

At 6-foot-7, 291 pounds, Buckner would reinvigorate the Baltimore defense.

7. 49ERS

Joey Bosa, DE, Ohio State

Unless the 49ers want to reach for Paxton Lynch — or figure out a way to for Goff or Wentz — they’d be better off supplementing their lackluster pass rush.

8. EAGLES

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State

Elliott is the consensus No. 1 running back in this draft, and Eagles executive VP Howie Roseman recently sang his praises.

9. BUCCANEERS

Veon Hargreaves, CB, Florida

Hargreaves knows how to play in different types of coverages, and Tampa Bay ranked last in the NFL by allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete 70 percent of their passes.

10. GIANTS

Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame

He might not excel immediately, but Stanley’s pass-blocking could help solidify the Giants’ offensive line for years.

11. BEARS

Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson

Not the most explosive defensive lineman out there, but has impressive strength and instincts.

12. SAINTS

Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville

He may be the most versatile interior defensive lineman in the draft, albeit one that’s a bit undersized.

13. DOLPHINS

William Jackson, CB, Houston

Miami has options if it wants a coerback, but Jackson’s size (6-foot, 189) and speed (4.37) will be enticing.

14. RAIDERS

Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama

A solid tackler, Ragland would complement a defense that already has a productive pass rusher in Khalil Mack.

15. TITANS

Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State

Tennessee needs a tackle after trading down from No. 1, and Conklin is the best one left on the board.

16. LIONS

Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State

Detroit has added receivers through free agency, so grabbing a potential Week 1 starter up front is a viable option.

17. FALCONS

Leonard Floyd, DE/OLB, Georgia

Floyd is raw, but Atlanta could win big down the road by stashing the in-state product.

18. COLTS

Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State

The Colts would love to add an offensive tackle, but if Conklin and Decker are gone, they could settle for this athletic quarterback-tued-linebacker.

19. BILLS

Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama

A run stopper with sound technique, Reed could flourish on Rex Ryan’s defense.

20. JETS

Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis

Ryan Fitzpatrick still hasn’t re-signed, so the Jets opt for this 6-foot-7 quarterback in hopes of a long-term answer.

21. WASHINGTON

Robert Nkemdiche, DT, Ole Miss

Questions abound after bizarre drug possession charge that included him falling out of a hotel window, but he has undeniable upside as an interior rusher.

22. TEXANS

Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss

He ran a disappointing 4.65-second 40-yard dash at his pro day, but he utilizes his size and toughness to make catches and contribute as a blocker.

23. VIKINGS

Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor

He doesn’t have the surest hands, but Coleman is explosive enough to gain separation and make life easier for Teddy Bridgewater.

24. BENGALS

Josh Doctson, WR, TCU

Cincinnati needs to replace more than 1,200 receiving yards after losing Marvin Jones to the Lions and Mohamed Sanu to the Falcons.

25. STEELERS

Noah Spence, DE/OLB, Easte Kentucky

Once a pass-rushing terror at Ohio State, Spence was bounced out of the Big Ten after failing multiple drug tests. Pittsburgh could be willing to take the risk.

26. SEAHAWKS

Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State

Secondary isn’t Seattle’s most pressing need, but Apple represents good value. Size is key for the Legion of Boom, and the former Buckeye is 6-foot-1, 199 pounds.

27. PACKERS

A’Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

Robinson often looked like a man among boys as college star and should plug into Green Bay’s defensive line nicely. And if he improves his pass rush? Watch out.

28. CHIEFS

Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson

Alexander gets dinged for failing to record an interception in two seasons as a starter, but it’s hard to knock his cover skills.

29. CARDINALS

Ryan Kelly, C, Alabama

Hardly a flashy pick, but Kelly is the best center in the draft and fills a major need for Arizona.

30. PANTHERS

Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana

Lest anyone forget, Cam Newton took six sacks in Carolina’s Super Bowl loss two months ago.

31. BRONCOS

Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State

Denver needs a quarterback after letting Brock Osweiler walk in free agency.
