#but chris and ramsay and thomas would be a great dynamic

Crossover? Crossover!

So, since Wolfe went on a little bit of an adoption spree throughout the series, I had to think of the other group of teens in desperate need of dads.

Wolfe: "We heard your fathers were abusive pieces of shit." Santi: "Chris…" Wolfe: "We'll be your fathers now." Ramsay: "A scholar to discuss research with? Wonderful!" Callum: "A guard commander who is both capable and fair? Perfect!" Ash: "Reasonable adults?! Fuck my life!"

NFL Mock Draft

Pick 1 - Cleveland Browns select

Myles Garrett - Defensive End - Texas A&M

Whilst there is a massive quarterback hole within the Browns roster, however they would be imbecilic not to take Garret number 1. Garrett is undoubtedly the top prospect in the draft being a certified freak whilst simultaneously showing Hall of Fame potential; there he has been securing multiple humbling comparisons from Julius Peppers to a collaboration of Von Miller and Jadeveon Clowney. Looking at Myles Garrett’s tape, although there may be signs of laziness at times, he looks as if he is the best player on the field and can change the game at any point with his combination of size, speed, power, and technique. The Browns can’t afford to mess this pick up so anyone else but Garrett here would be shock.

Other options - NO ONE

Pick 2 - San Francisco 49ers select

Jamal Adams - Safety - LSU

There are many different directions that the 49ers could go with this pick; they could try to go for the home run hit by taking the powerhouse that is Leonard Fournette; solidify that defensive front by taking the versatile Solomon Thomas; or they could trade out of the pick giving the new 49ers GM, John Lynch, multiple first round picks in the future. Although the latter may make the most sense from a directional standpoint, I decided to give the 49ers Jamal Adams from LSU. Adams is a clean non-stop workhorse on the defensive end who will add a leader to that 49ers D; looking at the tape you can see that Adams has a genuine passion for the game and will risk it all to win a game which is exactly the kind of player this organization needs on the field and the locker room. I believe that Jamal Adams can have the same kind of impact that Landon Collins had with the Giants last year - Adams has also drawn other comparisons from ‘The Honey Badger’ Tyrann Mathieu and the future Hall of Famer Darren Woodson.

Other options - Leonard Fournette, Solomon Thomas

Pick 3 - Chicago Bears select

Solomon Thomas - Defensive End - Stanford

The Bears as a team have a lot of holes to fill so at this spot they should just go with whomever is the highest on their draft board, for me the highest person still available is Solomon Thomas. Thomas is an extremely versatile defender who can play anywhere along the front line to a high standard and never takes a play off. Thomas will add energy to this defense and is a player the fans of Chicago can get behind; he has been drawing comparisons from J.J. Watt to Justin Smith.

Other options - Marshon Lattimore, Jonathon Allen 

Pick 4 - Jacksonville Jaguars select

Leonard Fournette - Running Back - LSU

The jags filled most of their defensive needs in free agency picking up such big name players as Barry Church, AJ Bouye, and Calais Campbell; combine this with young talent like Dante Fowler Jr and Jalen Ramsay this defense can be in the upper echelon for the next few years. However, by spending so much money on defense the Jaguars lost some of their key offensive lineman so this next selection might not be wise but the draft is about improving your team and by drafting Leonard Fournette this team becomes immediately more explosive, dangerous, and physical. Leonard is a force to be reckoned with and will be one of the premier backs in the NFL from day one. By drafting Fournette the opposing defense will stack the box more leaving, the mediocre, Blake Bortles with more open targets which will ultimately lead to more yard equaling more points; pair that with a premier defense then this Jacksonville will be scary team over the next few years. Fournette has earned such high class comparisons as Adrian Peterson, Jamal Lewis, and Bo Jackson.

Other options - O.J. Howard, Garret Bolles

Pick 5 - Tennessee Titans select

Marshon Lattimore - Cornerback - The Ohio State

The Titans have a major hole at corner and Lattimore is the best corner in the draft; simple as that. In spite of this, if Lattimore is not here when it sthere turn to pick than i expect the Titans to aggressively shop this pick and if they can’t do that then they will either fill the whole at wide receiver or just take the best player available. Lattimore has been compared to the shut down corner Vontae Davis.

Other options - Mike Williams, Solomon Thomas

Pick 6 - New York Jets select

O.J. Howard - Tight End - Alabama

Some have suggested that the Jets may take their “quarterback of the future” with this pick and while that still may be true everything that I have heard from players and coaches in interviews is that they have full confidence in Christian Hackenberg - plus with the addition of Josh McCown it looks as if the Jets aren’t looking for a QB; at least not at this pick. If Hackenbeg is the Jets quarterback then they need to fill as many weapons around him and the loss of Brandon Marshall does not help this fact. O.J. Howard is great replacement and a potent weapon for this offense, Howard is a big tight with incredible hands, great speed, and a love for blocking you normally don’t see in pass catching tight ends. Howard is also special in the fact he has a high floor and a high ceiling meaning as he grows and matures the Jets will still get great production out of him. Howard has been drawing comparisons of Tony Gonzales and Julius Thomas.

Other options - Mitchell Trubisky, Reuben Foster

Pick 7 - Los Angeles Chargers select

Malik Hooker - Safety - The Ohio State

The Chargers have one of the best top 10 draft pick team you will see, one of the only problems they have is in their secondary; this problem can be immediately solved by one player - Malik Hooker. A true center-fielder, when talking about football, Hooker presents awesome anticipation, great ball skills and just an overall natural ability to make any quarterback pay for their mistakes. This pick seems almost too perfect but this could lead the re-birth of this chargers organization in a new city. I believe Hooker has the ability to be the best player out of this class when its all said and done, so do other as he ha been drawing strong comparisons to the legendary Ed Reed, Earl Thomas, and Charles Woodson.

Other options - Christian McCaffrey, Reuben Foster

Pick 8 - Carolina Panthers select

John Ross - Wide Receiver - Washington

The first, and maybe only, shocker in this draft; the Panthers select the dynamic John Ross in the top 10. When you break Chris Johnson's famous “He ran what?” 40 yard dash time you are certain to turn heads and when you compare that with what you can see on tape then you have, maybe, the most explosive player in the entire draft. If you combine that explosiveness with Kelvin Benjamin and the former MVP Cam Newton’s incredible arm talent then that spells disaster for opposing secondaries especially for the already frugal secondaries of the NFC South teams, whilst almost simultaneously showing flashes of improving on the 2011 ‘dream team’ eagles. Ross has been given a very strong comparison to his training partner and pivotal member of that 2011 eagles team Deshaun Jackson.

Other options - Christian McCaffrey, Jonathon Allen

Pick 9 - Cincinnati Bengals select

Jonathan Allen - Defensive End - Alabama

Medical issues may cause the top 5 prospect to slide down draft boards but may be too good of a prospect for the Bengals to pass up on; Allen was the cornerstone for last years incredible Alabama defense and may be the most pro-ready defensive player in the whole draft. Where Allen may not jump of the page from an athletic standpoint but his technique is sound showing superior hand-grappling talents, he will also be the perfect compliment to Cincinnati star player Geno Atkins. Allen has a very similar style to the ever destructive Fletcher Cox.

Other options - Reuben Foster, Haason Reddick

Pick 10 - Buffalo Bills select

Mike Williams - Wide Receiver - Clemson

This is a combination that I have loved since this draft process began, the idea of having Sammy Watkins and Mike Williams on the same team should make every Bills fan excited, especially if the organisation want to help out young talent Cardale Jones or just give the underrated Tyrod Taylor more weapons to throw to. Williams was a stud in college dominating every team they played against, even the unforgiving Alabama defense, and being 6′4 with a 32 inch vertical jump proves he will continue to dominate in the pros. Furthermore without Williams Clemson would never have won the National Championship proving that he does not shy away from the big moments; Williams compares to another player not afraid of the big moments Plaxico Burress.

Other options - Marlon Humphrey, Deshaun Watson

Pick 11 - New Orleans Saints select

Marlon Humphrey - Cornerback - Alabama

The saints had the worst ranked passing defense in the League last year and desperately need a corner to help them. Humphrey is a very physical corner with all the athletic traits needed to be a premier lock-down player in this league. While the numbers may not be mesmerizing and whilst there may be strong concerns about his coverage, his talent alone will most likely get him drafted in the top-15. Humphrey has been compared to Jimmy Smith.

Other options - Derek Barnett, Adoree Jackson

Pick 12 - Cleveland Browns select

Mitchell Trubisky - Quarterback - UNC

There has been so much talk about the Browns trading up into the top 10 to draft Trubisky and even that they might take Trubisky with the number 1 pick. Whilst I am not the biggest fan of Mitchell Trubisky I do see why teams, such as the Browns, are so intrigued by his talents and as of writing this the Browns do not have a player who could be a variable stating quarterback so I also see the desire in getting your guy, nonetheless I still do not believe they will have to trade up to land him. Trubisky has been compared anywhere from Aaron Rodgers to Matt Leinart.

Other options - Reuben Foster, Deshaun Watson

Pick 13 - Arizona Cardinals select

Tre’davious White - Cornerback - LSU

This pick to me is basically adding fuel to already hot fire that is the already hot fire of the Arizona Cardinals secondary. White is solid is in every aspect of the game and would be a perfect compliment to the two other former LSU Tigers Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu, but don’t be surprised to see the cards go after Carson Palmer's successor here. White has drawn comparisons to Tracy Porter.

Other options - Corey Davis, Pat Mahomes II

Pick 14 - Philadelphia Eagles select

Christian McCaffrey - Running Back - Stanford

The Eagles main focus of this draft should be trying to provide their franchise QB, Carson Wentz, with as many weapons as possible; and with this pick they get the ultimate offensive weapon. Christian McCaffrey may be the most naturally gifted player in the draft as well as being the perfect back for this Eagles offense; McCaffrey lead his team in both rushing yards and receiving yards making him an every down back who can either catch passes in the backfield or be sent out wide in the slot and run routes. This versatility will greatly help Wentz improve whilst have a true ball carrier to take the pressure off Wentz if it is needed. The perfect comparison for McCaffrey is former Eagles stud Brian Westbrook.

Other options - Derek Barnett, Corey Davis

Pick 15 - Indianapolis Colts select

Forrest Lamp - Offensive Guard - Western Kentucky

There have been a lot of mock drafts giving the Colts an edge rusher here which to me doesn’t make sense: 1) This draft is very deep when it comes to defensive players whereas there is a drop-off when taking about the guards. 2) Andrew Luck is one of the best quarterbacks in the league...when he’s healthy, and to say healthy the Colts need to protect Luck with a good O-line something they have not done up to date. Lamp and be a good building block to go along with Ryan Kelly. Lamp has been compared to Dallas Cowboy guard Zack Martin.

Other options - Derek Barnett, Takk McKinley

Pick 16 - Baltimore Ravens select

Derek Barnett - Defensive End - Tennessee

To be honest, I would be very surprised to see Barnett fall this low, especially for a player being compared to Greg Hardy (on the field) as well as being the Tennessee Longhorns all-time sack leader. Barnett is a perfect fit for the Ravens and will immediately help a team whom is both 24th in sacks and rushing yards allowed per game. Some people are saying that Barnett is a better all-around player than Myles Garret and from looking at his tape I might have to agree.

Other options - Corey Davis, Reuben Foster

Pick 17 - Washington Redskins select

Dalvin Cook - Running Back - Florida State

Last year the Redskins had to watch as the Cowboys won the NFC East behind there rookie running back, that should mean that when the Redskins see the back that perfectly fits their scheme sitting their at 17 they have to take him. The Redskins were 21st in the league last year on rushing yards per game and Cook being the explosive player he is that number could easily rise next year to the top 10 in the league thanks to the Redskins O-line; plus with above average hands for a running back Cook will be able to be an ever down back for this team. Hamstring problems may have affected him last year but the Redskins should look passed when they see the potential he has especially when being compared to backs like Edgerrin James and Clinton Portis.

Other options - Takk McKinley, Reuben Foster

Pick 18 - Tennessee Titans select

Corey Davis - Wide Receiver - Western Michigan

Although at times he looked like the best wide receiver in the nation due to his small school status he fall of some teams draft bored allowing the Titans their new Number 1 receiver and Macus Mariota’s new favourite target. Davis showed excellent production and competitiveness coming out of Western Michigan and although he may have played for a lower tier school some scouts described his dominance as “a man among boys” which should mean that teams won’t be too worried about. Davis showed hands and route-running that should correlate well going into the next stage of his career whilst being a high tier route-runner. Davis could be looked over due his school but shouldn’t especially when he is being talked about as the second coming of T.O.

Other options - Adoree’ Jackson, Takk McKinley

Pick 19 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers select

David Njoku - Tight End - Miami

Now that Jameis Winston has proven to be a star player in this league the Buccaneers may want to put all their eggs in one basket and get him some weapons to play with. David Njoku maybe has the highest potential out of anybody in the first round, being only 20 years old he has already displayed elite athleticism and great catching talent with the ability to make a defender miss in the open field. Njoku would work wonders with Winston who is known for his love for a big play and David Njoku can definitely supply that. Njoku has been compared to Jimmy Graham, Jordan Reed, and Greg Olsen.  

Other options - Jabrill Peppers, Alvin Kamara

Pick 20 - Denver Broncos select 

Garett Bolles - Offensive Tackle - Utah

The Broncos are in the bottom 10 in the league in Rushing yards, yards per carry, and sacks which all translates to - the Broncos O-Line is trash. Though I may like the acquisition on Ron Leary from the Cowboys number 1 ranked O-line, one player doesn’t fix everything and Denver needs to take a lineman with this pick. Garett Bolles has the best feet in the draft and his technique is sound from being a work-up blocker to being noticing stunts. Bolles will help solidify the Broncos front for years to come.

Other options - Ryan Ramczyk, Cam Robinson

Pick 21 - Detroit Lions select

Reuben Foster - Linebacker - Alabama

The Lions lack any real leader from the line backer position, Reuben Foster is the perfect man to fill that hole; he was at the forefront of this strong Alabama defense a programme known for producing great linebackers. Compares to the Seahawks Bobby Wagner.

Other options - Taco Charlton, Charles Harris

Pick 22 - Miami Dolphins select

Taco Charlton - Defensive End - Michigan

As Cameron Wake is nearing the end of his career the Dolphins need to begin to find his successor; that could be Taco Charlton. Charlton is a rare combination of size, length and athleticism, he is a twitchy player with enough power to push back a lineman. The Dolphins would just be hoping not to have another Dion Jordan incident with this pick. Charlton compares to Aldon Smith.

Other options - Jabrill Peppers, T.J. Watt

Pick 23 - New York Giants select

Ryan Ramczyk - Offensive Tackle - Wiscoinsin

The Giants were one of the worst teams in the league in rushing and sacks allowed last season and while Eli Manning has a variety of weapons at his disposal if there is a hand in his face he is going to be less accurate. Ramczyk is an athletic tackle with who comes from a Wisconsin system famous for producing great O-line talent. Ramczyk compares to Joe Staley. 

Other options - Cam Robinson, Joe Mixon

Pick 24 - Oakland Raiders select

Haason Reddick - Linebacker - Temple

Reddick is a versatile player with an amazing motor and would be a great partner to Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin to expand on what is an already exciting defense to watch. Haason Reddick reminds me a lot of Ryan Shazier.

Other options - Jarrad Davis, Kevin King

Pick 25 - Houston Texans select

Patrick Mahomes II - Quarterback - Texas Tech

The Texans need a quarterback badly and I’ve heard that they are quite fond of gunslinger from Texas Tech. The best way to put it is that Mahomes has a cannon for an arm and Will Fuller is a shot of of that cannon add that with the already gifted play maker Deandre Hopkins,  you have one exciting offense now in Houston, Texas.

Other options - Cam Robinson, Deshaun Watson

Pick 26 - Seattle Seahawks select

Obi Melifonwu - Safety - Conneticut

With it looking like Richard Sherman’s time in Seattle is coming to an end Melifonwu is the athletic freak of nature that Pete Carroll could groom to replace him or replace the man people say he most plays like, Kam Chancellor.

Other options - Cam Robinson, Kevin King

Pick 27 - Kansas City Chiefs Select 

Deshaun Watson - Quarterback - Clemson

The Chiefs get the quarterback of the future. Watson is a great fit in this system and under the guidance of Andy Reid I believe this could be a beautiful marriage; furthermore I see Watson as a better Alex Smith due to him being an equally good passer with more mobility and knack for having his best performances in big games.

Other options - Gareon Conley, Alvin Kamara

Pick 28 - Dallas Cowboys select 

Takkarist McKinley - Defensive End - UCLA

Whilst the Cowboys desperately need some secondary talent McKinley is too good of a player for the Cowboys to pass up on especially as he fills a hole in that defensive front and is the kind of “war daddy” that Jerry Jones asked for. Comparison for McKinley is Tamba Hali or potentially DeMarcus Ware.

Other options - Adoree’ Jackson, Charles Harris

Pick 29 - Green Bay Packers select

T.J. Watt - Outside Linebacker - Wisconsin

The Packers pick up the second coming of Clay Matthews with T.J. Watt who will give everything he possesses when he is on the field. Oh and coaching from big brother J.J. won’t hurt his case.

Other options - Joe Mixon, Jabrill Peppers

Pick 30 - Pittsburgh Steelers select

DeShone Kizer - Quarterback - Notre Dame

With Roethlisberger considering retirement this year the Steelers put all their chips in the hand of the strong armed, raw talent of DeShoen Kizer who people say comapres most to current Steelers QB Big Ben.

Other options - Adoree’ Jackson, Evan Engram

Pick 31 - Atlanta Falcons select

Jabrill Peppers - Linebacker/Safety - Michigan

Perhaps the biggest wild card of the first round Peppers is the most versatile player in the draft with an innate reaction to try and create something no-matter where he is on the field or what side of the ball he is on. Peppers would be a great fit with this young Falcons defense and could end up becoming their captain.

Other options - Evan Engram, Charles Harris

Pick 32 - New Orleans Saints select

Charles Harris - Outside Linebacker - Missouri

This Saints defense lacks energy and desire but with this guy that will never be a problem again. Charles Harris, A.K.A. Black Ice, exudes energy and is maybe on of the most clean pass rushers in this draft. He has been compared to Shane Ray.

Other options - Adoree’ Jackson, Jarrad Davis
