2016 NFL Mock Draft: Complete First Round Projection

William Jackson III. 29. player. 32. The Cardinals could go a number of different ways with this pick.  But the majority of their needs are on the defensive side of the football.  They could use a pass rusher and help on the defensive line.  However, their biggest need could be in the secondary where they could use a corner to go alongside Patrick Peterson.  William Jackson has good speed and could help the Cardinals defense become even better. <b> </b>2016 NFL Mock Draft. Cornerback. Houston

Indiana. Jason Spriggs. 30. player. 87. The Panthers could use a pass rusher but they probably need a pass protector more.  Quarterback Cam Newton was under siege from the Denver Broncos pass rush in the Super Bowl.  This is something that needs to be addressed going into the 2016 season. <b> </b>. Offensive Tackle

31. player. 45. The Broncos have seen Peyton Manning retire and then they lost the guy they hoped would replace him to the Houston Texans in Brock Osweiler.  So this is a team in desperate need of a quarterback.  But if they complete a trade with the 49ers for Colin Kaepernick then they will have addressed the need for a starter and can take a quarterback later in the draft.  So for now they need to address the need for a defensive lineman now that Malik Jackson has moved on in free agency.  Kenny Clark can fill that need. . Defensive Tackle. UCLA. Kenny Clark
