9. Buffalo Bills – Eric Ebron – TE – North Carolina

While there were a lot of different players mocked to Buffalo at this spot, Ebron was the only one that received many votes.

Eric Ebron – 8
Anthony Barr – 3
Jake Matthews – 2
Taylor Lewan – 2
Kalil Mack – 2
CJ Mosley – 1
Mike Evans – 1
Zack Martin – 1

10. Detroit Lions – HaHa Clinton-Dix – S – Alabama

This was really the first pick that surprised me. I would have guessed that Justin Gilbert would have been the winner, but Clinton-Dix actually won by multiple votes.

HaHa Clinton-Dix – 7
Justin Gilbert – 3
Aaron Donald – 3
Trade – 2
Mike Evans – 2
Eric Ebron – 1
Taylor Lewan – 1
Anthony Barr – 1

11. Tennessee Titans – Anthony Barr – OLB – UCLA

While I would have thought Barr would have won this one in a landslide, Gilbert actually gave him a run for his money.

Anthony Barr – 9
Justin Gilbert – 7
Blake Bortles – 1
Teddy Bridgewater – 1
Derek Carr – 1
Louis Nix – 1

12. New York Giants – Aaron Donald – DT – Pittsburgh

Ten different prospects were mocked to the Giants here. Donald edged out Taylor Lewan for the pick.

Aaron Donald – 5
Taylor Lewan – 4
Jake Matthews – 2
Eric Ebron – 2
Mike Evans – 2
Zack Martin – 1
Odell Beckham Jr. – 1
CJ Mosley – 1
Anthony Barr – 1
Justin Gilbert – 1

13. St. Louis Rams – Calvin Pryor – S – Louisville

The clear cut top vote getter was actually Clinton-Dix, but he’s not available. Pryor edged out a whole lot of different prospects that were mocked here.

HaHa Clinton-Dix – 8
Calvin Pryor – 3
Darqueze Dennard – 2
Bradley Roby – 1
Taylor Lewan – 1
Odell Beckham Jr. – 1
Justin Gilbert – 1
Jimmie Ward – 1
Johnny Manziel – 1
Aaron Donald – 1

14. Chicago Bears – Justin Gilbert – CB – Oklahoma State

Alright, this is the second pick that I tweaked to make the mock work out. Aaron Donald was the top vote getter, but he’s off the board. The second biggest vote getter was Timmy Jernigan. However, Justin Gilbert is another prospect that actually went undrafted in my first attempt and I felt like he should be in it. Of the 20 mocks, 12 of them had Gilbert off the board before the Bears selected, including three of the four that mocked Jernigan to the Bears. I’m overriding the pick, but you can make a case for Jernigan being the consensus pick here with Donald off the board.

Aaron Donald – 6
Timmy Jernigan – 4
Justin Gilbert – 3
HaHa Clinton-Dix – 3
Ra’shede Hageman – 2
Calvin Pryor – 1
CJ Mosley – 1

15. Pittsburgh Steelers – Darqueze Dennard – CB – Michigan State

This one was a split between a few different CB prospects with Dennard edging out the other options.

Darqueze Dennard – 6
Justin Gilbert – 5
Bradley Roby – 4
Trade – 1
Taylor Lewan – 1
Kony Ealy – 1
Eric Ebron – 1
Kyle Fuller – 1

16. Dallas Cowboys – Timmy Jernigan – DT – Florida State

Opting to give Chicago Gilbert over Jernigan allows the Cowboys to take the player that is the most mocked to them. After Jernigan, it was a dead heat between several players.

Timmy Jernigan – 5
Zack Martin – 3
Anthony Barr – 3
Calvin Pryor – 3
Aaron Donald – 3
Trade – 1
Louis Nix – 1
Taylor Lewan – 1
