For the fifth straight year, Dawgs By Nature presents to you 2016 NFL Mock Drafts from our staff members. Listed below, you will see the final first-round mock drafts from most of our staff members, as well as the No. 32 overall pick since that also belongs to the Browns.
Trades were avoided for simplicity's sake, although many of us do feel that Cleveland will move down from the No. 8 spot. Explanations are not included (to prevent clutter), but if you have any questions, please ask the writer about it in the comments section and they will try to respond.
