Khalil Mack won’t be the first pick in tonight’s NFL Draft unless the Texans decide to shake things up. But being passed over at #1 doesn’t mean he’ll have to wait for long. In fact the next four teams on the board could each use his services to varying degrees. The trick: all four need help at other positions as well, and at least two of them need franchise quarterbacks. But don’t expect Mack to get past the foursome of the Rams, Browns, Jaguars, and Raiders, who pick second through fifth, respectively.
In fact the St Louis Rams may be the most likely destination for Khalil Mack, because they’re the least likely to take a quarterback this year. The only thing that could realistically keep this pick from happening is if Houston passes on Jadaveon Clowney, and the Rams decide they like him better. In such case the Cleveland Browns will have to decide whether Khalil Mack is a bigger priority than finding a quarterback upgrade over Bryan Hoyer. The Jacksonville Jaguars need a quarterback as well, but then again, they need help everywhere. And when it comes to the maverick Oakland Raiders, there’s rarely any way to predict what they’ll do with any given draft pick. Still, it’s unlikely that Mack gets past #5 tonight.
