This is it, the final 2016 NFL Mock Draft of the year and truth be told, this is my only mock draft of the year for this draft season.

The 2016 class has quantity but the quality is debatable, specifically in the upper tier players and the top quarterbacks lacking elite trademarks. This is a tremendous defensive tackle class as well as a very deep group of defensive back and a couple of intriguing running backs in Ezekiel Elliott and Derrick Henry that I see both going in the first round. This is also the first year that I have forecasted a trade, which I believe will occur between the Browns and the Dolphins for the rights to draft Ezekiel Elliott and ironically this selection was originally the Dolphins’ pick to begin the off-season.

MOCK DRAFT DISCLAIMER: The following picks are not how I have these players ranked and it is definitely not how I would pick for these teams. A good mock draft should be the most accurate prediction of how NFL GMs/Teams will be thinking and which players they will be targeting when the end of April is upon us.

This Final Mock Draft is for www.TheHuddleReport.com’s Annual Mock Draft competition and it is my attempt to place as many correct players into the 1st round as I can with their corresponding team if possible.
