Which player do mock drafts project each team to pick in the 2016 NFL Draft?





A roundup and compilation of Internet mock drafts in beautiful pie charts.

It's draft season and mock drafts all over the Internet are taking their shot at guessing how the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft will go, beginning with the Tennessee Titans picking first and ending with the Super Bowl-champion Denver Broncos.


With Marcus Mariota already holding down the fort at quarterback for the Titans, experts have zeroed in on three possibilities for the first pick. Mississippi offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil is projected to go No. 1 in the majority of mock drafts.


By surveying as many mock drafts as possible, we can get a good idea of the directions experts expect most teams to go. And who doesn't love pie charts?

A few notes:


- This will be updated consistently until draft day.


- Players who were picked only once or twice by a team got grouped together in an "others" slice. For teams near the bottom that are projected to take many different players, that other section can get pretty big, but there are only so many different shades of a team's colors to use, so it'll have to do.


- With a lot of similar colors, I know some of the slices can be hard to tell apart. Hover over or click on the chart and it'll show the numbers and name for each individual slice. It also can be read like a clock with the names on the right representing the slices clockwise around the chart.
