Here is my way too early and likely incorrect first round mock draft. Please tell me how wrong I am.
1) HOU: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
What was obvious a month ago, before the Manziel revival and the Bortles hype train arrived, comes to fruition. A real QB makes the Texans a near lock for Cinderella story of the year and Bridgewater a near lock for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
2) MIN: (From STL): Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
The Vikings roll the dice and trade up for Johnny Football. Queens fans everywhere talk about the second coming of Fran Tarkenton (or third, if you count RW)
3) JAX: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
Gus does the sensible thing and takes the most freakishly gifted player in the draft at 3.
4) CLE: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
Unable to trade out of 4, Cleveland picks a monster talent that they will proceed to ruin over the course of the next several years.
5) OAK: Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo
CUZ it seems like something the Raiders might do. I said it.
6) ATL: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
The Dirty birds need help on the line and they get it.
7) TB: Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
Big bird gets a big target to throw to.
8 ) STL: Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn
The Rams traded down thinking they'd have a shot at either Matthews or Robinson. They land Robinson.
9) BUF: C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
10) DET: Marqise Lee, WR, Detroit Lions
Another supremely talented receiver for Stafford to over throw.
11) TEN: Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida
Tennessee officially sucks as they pick another raw QB, utterly giving up on Jake Locker. It's the funniest thing. I hear "Blake Bortles" and I see "Blaine Gabbert". Bust.
12) NYG: Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State
The G-Men take a defensive linemen, because they like defensive linemen.
13) STL: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
The Rams double dip the Offensive Tackle chip in this deep draft. HUGE upgrade for St. Louis.
14) CHI: Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
Da Bears. Defense. Amiright?
15) PIT: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
Heath Miller is old. Rapistburger needs another receiving threat, preferably one that can block.
16) DAL: Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
Jurrah finally gets one right.
17) BAL: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
Baltimore gets this one more right than Jurrah Jones did.
18) NYJ: Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
One Monstrous, yet curiously small handed target for Gino to throw to.
19) MIA: Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame
The Fish give this guy Jonathan's number so they don't have to discount the #71 jerseys they still have in storage.
20) ARI: Ra’Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota
Dockett successor. Crap. Better than an offensive linemen (for us) I suppose.
21) GB: Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech
Finley is done, son.
22) PHI: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
Cuz defense.
23) KC: Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
Cuz more defense.
24) CIN: Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
One of the few weaknesses this team has it can't really address at 24. Sadly for Cincy fans, they won't get a real QB in the first round, and will have to settle for an excellent line backer.
25) SD: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
The bolts could have used a guy like this against the Broncos in the playoffs.
26) CLE: Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri
The second player to get punished by being drafted to Cleveland. Sucks for this guy.
27) NO: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
The Saints need someone else to throw to other than "I'm" Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles. They get a good one.
28) CAR: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
With the Receiver well having been dipped into several times before Carolina gets to pick, they swing and miss on a soft, overrated player at TE.
29) NE: Marcus Roberson, CB, Florida
How did this guy fall this far? That's a fine question, sir. I'm guessing it's the dark side of the force. Or just a terrible mock draft.
30) SF: Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
Unfortunately the Niners take a good player at #30.
31) DEN: Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
Meh, I really don't give a crap what Denver does. So I'm just picking a name out of a hat at this point, but an OLB seems like a logical choice considering all the highest rated corners are off the board already.
32) SEA: Troy Niklas, TE, Notre Dame
The pick that will again have the pundits scratching their heads and mocking the selection, but this kid is a monster. He's 6' 7" tall and weighs in at 270lbs and is a willing and able blocker.

Outstanding size with a well-proportioned, muscular build. Big target over the middle and in the red zone. Athletic with flexible hips and knees to run the full tight end route tree. Bursts into routes and stretches the seam. Good hands. Has playmaking ability. Lined up flexed and in-line. Good potential as a blocker. Bends his knees, shuffles and fans rushers wide. Works well in tandem and can combo block effectively. Takes care of his body and maintains low body fat. Has NFL bloodlines.
