2016 NFL Mock Draft: Full Order and 1st-Round Predictions for Top Prospects

The underclassmen declaration deadline passed earlier this week, solidifying the 2016 NFL draft class. The next step will be to set the final picks in this year's draft order.

Notable Picks

4. Dallas Cowboys: DeForest Buckner

The Cowboys have a tough choice to make this year. Do they select an instant-impact prospect to help them contend within quarterback Tony Romo's window of opportunity, or do they take advantage of their high pick and think about the future?

Given owner Jerry Jones' competitive nature and the Cowboys' two-decade-long drought since their last Super Bowl trip, it's safe to bet on them making one last serious run behind Romo. 

A number of prospects could fit into that win-now mentality, but defensive lineman DeForest Buckner may be the safest choice. 

Greg Hardy was a productive pass-rusher for the Cowboys, but he was also a headache off the field. Adding another edge defender like Buckner would make the decision to part with Hardy easier to handle. 

7. San Francisco 49ers: Laquon Treadwell

Obviously the 49ers need a quarterback, but there's no guarantee they'll settle on a top-10 grade for any of the options in this year's class. 

Assuming they don't go that route, adding a physical receiver like Laquon Treadwell may be the next best option for jump-starting their stagnant offense. 

Head coach Chip Kelly isn't calling the shots, but he has shown a preference for big, physical receivers with the ability to block. Treadwell is arguably the top receiver in this year's draft class and clearly fits that description. 

If Kelly can sell general manager Trent Baalke on Treadwell as well, there's a good chance he'll be high on the 49ers' draft board. 

28. Kansas City Chiefs: Noah Spence

The Chiefs defense was the driving force behind their playoff run this year, but major changes could be coming to the unit in 2016. 

Six of the Chiefs' defensive starters are set to hit the free-agent market, most notably safety Eric Berry and linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson. 

Re-signing all three will be tough, and the Chiefs may not even be interested in pursuing that option since Hali and Johnson are both on the downswing of their careers at age 32 and 33, respectively. 

Spence enters the draft with some question marks due to his ban from the Big Ten after testing positive for Ecstasy. Assuming he satisfies teams with his answers during the interview process, he should become an attractive option in the late first round as one of the draft's most dangerous pass-rushers.
