Notes:
I've heard the 49ers GM is very high on Connor Cook and is looking to get him in the 2nd round, so they take the best available player in Buckner. Goff could go here as well. 

With Jaylon Smith possibly having nerve damage in his surgically repaired knee, he drops out of my first round mock. A very unfortunate story for a great football player. 

Paxton Lynch apparently did very poorly in his interviews, so he falls a bit because of that. Houston could go with a wideout or defensive tackle and look to pick up Christian Hackenberg in the 2nd or 3rd round rather than take Lynch. 

If Doug Martin leaves in free agency, look for the Bucs to take Ezekiel Elliot at number 9 to fill his shoes. 

Many picks here are dependent on where Brock Osweiler ends up signing. Rams are a strong possibility as well as a return to Denver, and don't count out Houston as a destination.
