Four-round mock 4.0: Cowboys land Joey Bosa, Derrick Henry

Draft Analyst

Mock drafts are beginning to have more meaning now that the NFL Scouting Combine is over and the initial rush of free-agent signings have occurred.

Team needs are settling in, with only a few signings remaining that will affect early round picks. Some players are still trying to improve their draft stock at pro days, but for the prospects at the top of the draft, grades take shape based on game tape, scouts' notes, and workout numbers and interviews from the combine.

Compensatory picks were awarded Friday, so we now have a complete picture of the draft order. With out further ado, here is my four-round mock draft.

It's quite possible the Titans will consider defensive back Jalen Ramsey at this pick. But for now, I'll go with Tunsil, who would team with Taylor Lewan to form a nice pair of bookends in front of second-year quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Head coach Hue Jackson made no bones about the importance of hand size in a quarterback. Playing in Cleveland, and against Big Ben and Joe Flacco in the AFC North, it makes sense to have a big-bodied quarterback at the helm. Wentz did nothing to hurt himself at the combine.

The Chargers signed Dwight Lowery to play safety, so now they can line Ramsey up outside to take on the league's top receivers.

Bosa showed at the combine that he's capable of standing up or playing with his hand on the turf. If Greg Hardy's no longer in the picture in Big D, Bosa should slide right in.

This Jack of all trades will be utilized to his fullest in the Jags' scheme.

Goodbye Chris Canty, hello Buckner.

Chip Kelly is pleased as punch that a player of Goff's talent is still available -- if his old team or the Rams don't make a trade with the Chargers to go get him.

Word is the Eagles are shopping Ryan Mathews, and they already traded DeMarco Murray. It would make sense for the team to look for a new bell-cow back.

Lawson displayed the agility and speed to rush the passer while standing up or with his hand in the dirt. The Bucs will utilize those skills to the fullest.

The Giants invested a ton of money in their defensive line in free agency, so they add a new starting tackle that can play on the right side or force Ereck Flowers to change spots.

The fact that Floyd was asked to play inside often during his Georgia career is a compliment to his ability to play strong between the tackles despite a wiry frame. If he's placed out on the edge in the Bears' 3-4 scheme, he'll get back to his true strength.

New Orleans instantly gets better against the run, and Billings is also able to provide pressure if quarterbacks hold the ball in the pocket.

Even after acquiring Byron Maxwell from the Eagles, the Dolphins could use help in the secondary. Hargreaves' ability as a playmaker won't be overlooked.

Adding Kelechi Osemele at guard and Conklin at tackle strengthens the group in front of quarterback Derek Carr and running back Latavius Murray.

The Rams can't get rid of Nick Foles due to his contract, so they can let Lynch learn the game and improve as a redshirt in 2016.

Ex-Bengal Marvin Jones was a good find as a No. 2 receiver, but Treadwell's a legit No. 1.

Lee could step in for veteran Philip Wheeler to be an impact player at the SAM 'backer spot.

The team saw how an injured Andrew Luck affected their franchise, so they'll try to prevent that by improving their right-tackle spot. Decker will get after his man in the run game, as well -- something the Colts need from their offensive line to be more effective on the ground.

Now that Mario Williams is gone, the Bills must find a strong-side pass rusher. Dodd's build and his upside as a three-down player make him a nice fit.

The Jets need to fill in the middle of their defense. Ragland's a strong, solid player who can serve as a coach on the field.

Bashaud Breeland is a promising player, but a corner with good size and athleticism at this point in the first round is too good for general manager Scot McCloughan to pass on.

With the Texans spending big bucks on offense to sign quarterback Brock Osweiler and running back Lamar Miller, the team's need for a quarterback in the secondary is filled by Bell.

Doctson's combine workout made teams forget about his injured wrist. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is looking for a receiver in whom he can trust to win 50-50 balls.

Free agency has weakened the Bengals' receiving corps, and Fuller's speed works well to complement A.J. Green.

The Steelers bolster their nose-tackle spot with an active, strong three-down lineman who's underrated as an athlete.

Pete Carroll would love for an active interior defender like Rankins to fall into his lap.

General manager Ted Thompson gives Aaron Rodgers another target for 2016 and beyond.

The loss of Jeff Allen and release of Ben Grubbs might push the Chiefs to select Garnett, who is perfectly capable of stepping in at the left-guard spot to ensure Alex Smith is protected and the running game is effective.

Depth was a problem down the stretch for the Cardinals, and Alexander's potential as a long-time starter is too strong to ignore.

The strong and hard-working Ogbah would be a nice complement to Kony Ealy on the Panthers' defensive line, even with the return of Charles Johnson.

Let's assume the Broncos bring in a veteran like Colin Kaepernick after losing Brock Osweiler to the Texans in free agency. That means replacing Malik Jackson becomes their main priority.
