13. Cleveland Browns: Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss
The Cleveland Browns have played very well in the early goings of this season. There has been no bigger surprise at the quarterback position in the NFL this year (in a positive way, at least) than Deshaun Watson.
We’ll see how the rest of the season goes for Watson, and what that could mean after the year is done, but for now, it’s clear that the QB position is still the biggest issue facing this Browns team for the long haul.
Trinidad Chambliss is shorter than ideal for the position, but he’s also proven he can make big-time throws under pressure.
14. Atlanta Falcons: Jordan Seaton, OT, LSU
The surprise retirement of Kaleb McGary at the right tackle position as well as the “ageless” Jake Matthews now 34 going on 35 has put offensive tackle near the top of the priority list for the Falcons this coming offseason.
Luckily for them, this is a very good class at the position, and getting Jordan Seaton this far down the board would be a steal.
Seaton has been one of the most coveted prospects in the country since his high school days, and you can see why. At 6-foot-5, 307 pounds, he’s extremely light on his feet, athletic, and is only going to keep getting better.
15. Seattle Seahawks: Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana
As always, these mock draft exercises are very individual scenarios. Charlie Becker is a player I’m usually trying to find a way to place somewhere within the top 10 overall picks, but teams had other areas to be addressed prior to this pick slot.
But how often are we going to see the Seahawks somewhere in the middle of the first round? How many chances are we going to have to explore a scenario like this?
It’s fun to think about the explosive field-stretching abilities of Charlie Becker in tandem with Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
16. Cincinnati Bengals: Chris Cole, LB, Georgia
The Bengals’ defense has been appropriately overhauled in recent years, but the job is not yet finished. In particular, the Bengals need more help at the second level of their defense.
Georgia’s Chris Cole can absolutely do it all.
Not only does he have the size teams covet at the position (6’3”, 235 pounds), but he has outstanding range, instincts, and the ability to affect the game on all three downs. We’re starting to see a bit of a shift in the way teams value these types of linebackers, so Cole’s value could keep skyrocketing.
