The NFL draft class for 2016 is considered deep with prospects and teams like the Ravens, 49ers, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Giants, Bears, Eagles and Rams have the chance to add some solid talent in the top 15 this year. Names like Paxton Lynch, Carson Wentz, Shaq Lawson, Myles Jack, Reggie Ragland and Robert Nkemdiche could be potential targets for the teams.
The Titans open up the draft with the top selection, while the Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars round out the top five. The Baltimore Ravens pick at number six, while the San Francisco 49ers are next ahead of the Miami Dolphins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants. After the Giants pick it's the Bears, followed by the New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Rams.
The 2016 draft class is considered to be a deep one and that gives all the teams in the top 15 the chance to get a solid prospect. The Ravens pick at number six and draft expert Mel Kiper at ESPN has the team going after an offensive lineman with the selection. The Ravens dealt with a ton of injuries last season and they could look at Ronnie Stanley as an option with the number six pick. Kiper and the latest NFL.com mock draft has Stanley going to the Ravens.
The 49ers are in an interesting spot with the number seven pick and with Chip Kelly coming in, the team could go a number of ways with the selection. NFL.com has the team taking Myles Jack, while Kiper has Laquon Treadwell with the pick. Treadwell could be a great option for the 49ers in Kelly's offense and he immediately would give the team an explosive playmaker on the outside. The team could consider Paxton Lynch or Carson Wentz even if they opt to keep Colin Kaepernick, as the QB is coming off of three major surgeries from the offseason.
The Miami Dolphins pick at number eight and the team also has the chance to look at a number of positions for this pick. The defense struggled last season and that could lead the team to take someone like Myles Jack, Reggie Ragland or Shaq Lawson, who is the pick for Kiper. Lawson reportedly is a target for the Bears, Giants and Eagles, while Jack also could be in that mix if he stays on the board. NFL.com has Vernon Hargreaves as the pick for Miami and that could be a fit if the team cuts Brent Grimes this offseason.
Kiper has the Eagles taking Robert Nkemdiche with their pick, while NFL.com has the team taking Jack Conklin. The Eagles have Doug Pederson coming in as head coach and he could consider going after a QB if the team doesn't keep Sam Bradford. The Rams, Eagles, 49ers and Saints could consider QBs with their picks and names like Paxton Lynch and Carson Wentz could be options. Both Kiper and NFL.com have the Rams taking a QB with their pick.
