Taking a running back at No. 4 is crazy, or so the thinking goes. But for a Cowboys team in win-now mode, grabbing Ezekiel Elliott could be crazy smart.

Darron Lee, LB, Ohio State: He's a speedy linebacker who Rex Ryan might feel can be used in different ways to attack offenses in his exotic schemes.

NFL Mock Draft 5.0: Post-Free Agency Edition

 

 

This is my fifth mock of the offseason, coming on the heels of the biggest rush of free agency, during which even the draft order was shaken up with the Eagles and Dolphins swapping spots as part of a trade. I’ll have at least two more mocks coming before the draft, and I’m hoping to put together a three round spectacle/disaster for you guys to savagely tear apart in the coming weeks.

 

As always, this mock draft is what I think teams WILL DO, not necessarily what I believe they SHOULD DO. Judge accordingly.

 

 

 

19. Buffalo Bills: EDGE Kevin Dodd, Clemson

Scouting Report

Overview: Someone asked me awhile back if I thought Dodd fit into the Bills defensive scheme and at the time I said no. That still may be the case, but if Rex Ryan is committed to using multiple fronts rather than a strict 3-4, Dodd could be the ideal fit. The highly-productive Clemson defensive end can rush the passer from a two or three-point stance effectively, but doesn’t have the athleticism to operate in space or drop into coverage like a true outside linebacker. If used appropriately, Dodd fills a huge need left by the departure of Mario Williams to Miami.

Along with outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, running back Keith Marshall, receiver Malcolm Mitchell and 15 other former Bulldogs, Jenkins ran drills for NFL representatives from every team.

 

New England coach Bill Belichick, Atlanta coach Dan Quinn and Buffalo coach Rex Ryan were among those taking notes.

Mayock: Leonard Floyd like Jason Taylor
NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock thinks former Miami Dolphins star Jason Taylor makes for a good comparison on the potential of Georgia linebacker Leonard Floyd.

 

With all 32 NFL teams represented, Waco was buzzing Wednesday for Baylor's on-campus pro day. A total of 16 prospects worked out for teams, but the star attraction was first round hopeful Corey Coleman

 

A virtual Who's Who of NFL personnel, including Bill Belichick, Rex Ryan and Jerry Reese, watched 17 former Georgia Bulldogs work out Wednesday in Athens. Unfortunately, the star attraction, Floyd -- a projected first round pick -- was unable to finish his workout, disappointing the large crowd of NFL decision-makers.

400 pounds of talent

Receiver Corey Coleman's first official 40 attempt might have drawn a crowd, but there was also bona fide buzz surrounding 405-pound tight end LaQuan McGowan at Baylor's pro day.

 

Defensive tackle Andrew Billings -- 6-0 3/8, 311 -- had a 4.96 40 time. He did the short shuttle in 4.77 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.77 seconds. Billings looked good in his positional workout, and is one of the Baylor prospects who upped their draft stock at the pro day.

Draft Philosophies: http://bit.ly/1pNDhbD

heard a lot of diff approaches to the draft&philosophies that drive team decisions on draft day

Over the years, we’ve heard a lot of different approaches to the NFL draft and the philosophies that drive team decisions on draft day. The “Need vs. Best Available” argument is one that we’ve heard for decades, and while in theory everyone would love to take the best player on their board, the reality of having to line up 22 starters four months from draft day will impact decisions. In fact, that pressure to fill every spot on the field may actually influence who a team determines is the “best player.”

Big Board: Pro Day Payoffs

by Rob Rang | NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst

UCLA linebacker Myles Jack and Clemson cornerback Mackensie Alexander are among the big winners of the early pro day circuit after each showed off his trademark explosiveness. The news wasn't great for everyone, however, with Alabama inside linebacker Reggie Ragland showing a surprising lack of strength during his workout, especially for a 250-pound run-stuffer in the middle. The Big Board isn't just another mock draft. No attention is paid to team needs or upcoming free agency. This is my personal ranking of the top 50 prospects available in the 2016 NFL Draft.
