LuckAtLuke’s Inaugural 1st Round Mock Draft for Colts

Wide Receiver. Louisville. DeVante Parker. 11. player. 60. It’s the “Teddy Bridgewater era” in Minnesota, and like the Colts previously did with pairing Coby Fleener with his collegiate quarterback Andrew Luck, the Vikings could consider giving Bridgewater his former go-to wideout while with the Louisville Cardinals in DaVante Parker to improve his comfort zone and development.

Missouri. Shane Ray. 12. player. 53. Shane Ray slides a bit here, but not because of talent or ability just because of the surplus of pass rushers. The Browns simply take the best player available here and add a talented pass rusher to pair on the other side of Paul Kruger in their improving 3-4 defense.. Defensive End

Trae Waynes. 13. player. 15. The New Orleans Saints take the best cornerback in this year’s draft in Michigan State’s Trae Waynes, who should help improve a defense that still needs a lot of help. The Saints defense gave up the 2nd most yards last season in the entire NFL, adding a potential shutdown cornerback like Waynes should lower that mark.. Cornerback. Michigan State

UCF. Breshad Perriman. 14. player. 59. Another Florida product stays in-state, as Perriman’s pro day 4.24 forty time blows him up the draft board. The Dolphins could use a deep threat to replace the departed Mike Wallace and provide their starting quarterback in Ryan Tannehill with another talented target to work with.. Wide Receiver

15. player. 42. Considered a “Top 10 talent” by some NFL talent evaluators, Armstead’s addition to the depleted 49ers defensive line that has already lost both Justin Smith and Ray McDonald this offseason makes quite a deal of sense. Armstead has the talent to play right away, but also the potential to become something special in time.. Defensive End. Oregon. Arik Armstead

The Houston Texans lost longtime wideout Andre Johnson to the Colts this offseason and could use a big possession wideout to further complement emerging young receiver DeAndre Hopkins, while also keeping opposing defenses honest against Arian Foster. A poor man’s Calvin Johnson, DGB has the physical tools to be one of the best wideouts in the NFL.. Wide Receiver. Oklahoma. Dorial Green-Beckham. 16. player. 10

It’s not a flashy pick, but the Chargers could use some help along their defensive line where their run defense wasn’t very good last season. Brown is a very solid defensive lineman, who can make his impact felt in the middle right away.. Defensive Tackle. Texas. Malcom Brown. 17. player. 13

124. The Kansas City Chiefs already lost Dwayne Bowe to the Browns, and while their wideouts haven’t been a focal point of the offense, QB Alex Smith could still use a big bodied wideout to keep defense’s honest on the outside of the field and to honor their passing game. Strong at 6’2″, 217 has the size and speed to give Smith a bonafide #1 wideout going forward.. Wide Receiver. Arizona State. Jaelen Strong. 18. player

player. 53. The Cleveland Browns are going to have to outgrind teams next season with QB Josh McCown as their projected starting quarterback. Adding a big bruiser in the trenches like Collins, who can either start at right tackle or guard would help bolster their offensive line and pave the way for an exceptional ground game.. Offensive Tackle. LSU. La'el Collins. 19

Kentucky. Alvin Dupree. 20. player. 54. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly loves athletes, particularly ones that are as explosive as Alvin “Bud” Dupree. His defense already lost Trent Cole to the Colts and could use another pass rusher to pair on the other side of Connor Barwin. Dupree is a bit of a project, but has the freak athleticism to be a pass rushing beast in time, as there’s no denying that speed.. Defensive End
