NFL Draft
NFL Draft
In the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft a lot of crazy things happened. For
example Laremy Tunsil Twitter and Instagram got hacked. When Laremy Tunsil got
hacked, they posted a video on twitter of him smoking marijuana. On Instagram
they posted a picture with messages of his former coach at Ole Miss. These
decisions that he made before made his NFL draft stock go down. From being
projected as a number one pick prior to the draft he slipped and fell to number
thirteen overall causing him around ten million dollars. Laremy Tunsil is an offensive
tackle now for the Miami Dolphins he was ranked as the number one offensive
tackle coming out of college. His bad choices caused him to slip down the draft and
even chose 2 other offensive tackles before him with Ronnie Stanley going 6 th
overall to the Baltimore Ravens and Jack Conklin going 8 th overall to the Tennessee
Titans. The Tennessee Titans formerly had the number one overall pick which was
projected to be Laremy Tunsil but ended up trading down to fifteenth overall and
traded their pick to the LA Rams. The Tennessee Titans during the draft then moved
up to 8th overall to select Jack Conklin passing up on Laremy Tunsil which was once
projected to go number one overall to them.
The first two picks in the NFL Draft were quarterbacks with Jared Goff from
California going number one overall to the LA Rams and Carson Wentz from North
Dakota St. which is a division two school going to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Everybody knew what the first two picks prior to the draft were going to be so all
the craziness started happening at pick number 3 with the San Diego Chargers
picking Joey Bosa from Ohio St. Following him his former teammate from Ohio St.
Ezekiel Elliot was picked fourth overall to the Dallas Cowboys which many people
think will be the next Emmitt Smith at Dallas with their explosive offensive line.
Many people are thinking they are trying to make a trio all over again with Tony
Romo, Dez Bryant, and Ezekiel Elliot which many people think they are trying to
build what they used to have winning many Super Bowls together with Troy Aikman,
Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith. In the draft many people thought Jalen Ramsey
would be the better player at Dallas who is a cornerback out of Florida St. he is
thought of being the best press cornerback coming out of college since Patrick
Peterson who is now with the Arizona Cardinals. Jalen Ramsey ended up going 5 th
overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars to join their young defensive team adding Malik
Jackson during free agency and also adding Prince Amukamara.
With the Denver Broncos that are in need of a quarterback, after Peyton
Manning retiring and Brock Osweiler signing with the Texans during free agency,
they decided to trade up in the draft from 31 st overall to trading to the Seattle
Seahawks to move up to 26th overall and drafting Paxton Lynch which was ranked
the 3rd best quarterback. Paxton Lynch is a quarterback out of Memphis. The Dallas
Cowboys were thinking of trading up for Paxton Lynch which they offered the 34 th
overall pick and the 101st overall pick the Denver Broncos offered the Seattle
Seahawks the 31st overall pick and the 94th overall pick in the draft. Jerry Jones, the
owner of the Dallas Cowboys, really wanted Paxton Lynch Jerry Jones himself said he
lost sleep over not overpaying the Seattle Seahawks to trade up for Paxton Lynch
the Cowboys later on drafted quarterback Dak Prescott out of Mississippi St. in the
4th round.
