The NFL Draft is Thursday, and we here at FanBuzz got sick of your typical NFL mock drafts. Naturally we threw together a mock draft of only WWE superstars and madness ensued.
1. Dallas Cowboys (via Rams) — The Rock
The Cowboys trade up to get the most electrifying man to grace the squared circle. The smack talkin', jabroni beatin', pie eatin', lalalalalala... you get the point. They get a star and Jerry Jones can be happy.
2. Philadelphia Eagles — John Cena
In need of a building block for the future, the Eagles are happy to take John Cena. There's some concern over his injury history, but his longterm projections make him a fit in Philly.
3. San Diego Chargers — Roman Reigns
He's projected to be the top guy for years to come, and the Rock and Cena are already off the board. He may not have the impact of Rock or Cena, but he's got everyone behind him at this point.
4. Los Angeles Rams (via Cowboys) — Triple H
Moving to LA, the Rams needed to make a big move, and they did so by moving down, obtaining assets and landing a significant playmaker. He's nearing the end of his career, but his Wrestlemania 32 match showed he's got enough left in the tank to make an impact.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars — Seth Rollins
Rollins is on the shelf right now with a knee injury, but otherwise, the Jags get one of the most versatile performers out there. Rollins has speed, endurance, and the agility to make an impact.
6. Baltimore Ravens — Undertaker
He's not gone yet, and the Undertaker might be the piece that puts the Ravens over the top.
7. San Francisco 49ers — Randy Orton
Another veteran goes at No. 7. Character concerns and the occasional injury didn't stop the Niners from pulling the trigger on Orton.
8. Cleveland Browns — Sting
The Browns land a legit cornerstone without realizing he retired earlier this month.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — A.J. Styles
One of the best up-and-coming prospects in the WWE, A.J. Styles spent years in the arena league before finally getting to the NFL. He brings a style and flash no other athlete has in the top 10.
10. New York Giants — Brock Lesnar
What's better for the big city than the beast, Brock Lesnar? Huge playmaker with plenty of tread left on his tires. Could be available for years down the road.
11. Chicago Bears — CM Punk
Chicago reaches a bit hoping Punk eventually returns. What better pick than the hometown kid here.
12. New Orleans Saints — Bray Wyatt
The new face of fear, Bray Wyatt lands in New Orleans. He hasn't been utilized correctly over most of his career, but we've got a feeling the Saints can find a spot for him.
13. Miami Dolphins — The Usos
Cousins on The Rock, The Usos are an interesting pick here. Picked to take over the
14. Oakland Raiders — Dean Ambrose
The lunatic, Dean Ambrose, instantly becomes a fan-favorite in Oakland.
15. Tennessee Titans — The Big Show
Marcus Mariota is gonna need some protection, and the Big Show fits that need on the offensive line.
16. Detroit Lions — Neville
After Calvin Johnson retired, Detroit needs some assistance in the passing game and Neville, in his return from injury, provides big-play ability.
17. Atlanta Falcons — Big E
The Falcons needed help on the defensive line and Big E fixes that problem. He can get to the quarterback and has incredible agility for his size.
18. Indianapolis Colts — Chris Jericho
A bit of a veteran, Jericho provides stability on both sides of the ball. He's a proven winner and Andrew Luck needs a guy with that kind of confidence.
19. Buffalo Bills — Baron Corbin
He's gotten in fights with teammates in football and wrestling, and he's the perfect kind of guy for the Ryan brothers.
20. New York Jets — Dolph Ziggler
The flashy Ziggler is the perfect fit for the bright lights of New York. A guy that couldn't get over the hump in college, he projects to do about the same at the pro level.
21. Washington Redskins — Finn Balor
The overseas unknown, Balor steps in immediately as an instant playmaker and possibly the steal of the first round. Washington gets another guy they can build around despite his smaller frame.
22. Houston Texans — Cesaro
The professional, Cesaro pairs with J.J. Watt as a no-nonsense duo that could put Houston over the top in the AFC South.
23. Minnesota Vikings — Rusev
An interesting fit in Minnesota, the Bulgarian Brute is ready to mix it up whether the sun is shining or it's -20 degrees. He's had some foot issues, but he projects as a nasty defensive lineman.
24. Cincinnati Bengals — The Miz
One of the dirtiest players in the game, The Miz lands in his hometown of Ohio. He's underrated on all accounts and can talk up even the most boring game on paper. He's a playmaker that could be a longterm fit for the Bengals organization.
25. Pittsburgh Steelers — Ryback
Pittsburgh gets a bruiser here with Ryback, another nasty player who can take a player's head off with one bone-crushing hit.
26. Seattle Seahawks — Kofi Kingston
Another playmaker here, as the Seahawks go Tyler Lockett and Kingston in back-to-back drafts. The return game and receiving game is as dynamic as any other in the league.
27. Green Bay Packers — Luke Harper
Harper is a natural fit with the Packers, as he's got a mean streak in him that should fit perfectly in Green Bay.
28. Kansas City Chiefs — Titus O'Neil
A diamond in the rough, O'Neil hasn't received much of a chance throughout his career. A questionable altercation with the NFL commish caused his stock to plummet, but he'll have a chance to build his career in Kansas City moving forward.
29. Arizona Cardinals — Sami Zayn
Recently discovered as one of the better talents in the league, he skyrocketed up the board and is a steal for the Cardinals at No. 29. With defensive back Tyrann Mathieu's injury and questions at receiver, Zayn can play both positions.
30. Carolina Panthers — Shinsuke Nakamura
One of the flashiest, most underrated prospects in the draft, Nakamura pairs with Cam Newton as the most naturally talented duo in the league. Huge get for the up-and-coming Panthers.
31. Denver Broncos — Kevin Owens
The defending champs get a legit building block. Unreal that he was still here at No. 31, but the Broncos will take it. Scouts had questions about his conditioning, but he's proved his cardio and athleticism can keep up with the best of them.
No. 32 New England Patriots (via Cleveland) — Vince McMahon
The Patriots trade up to snag the owner of WWE. Robert Kraft knows the perks of being besties.
Best available in the second round:
Samoa Joe
Zavier Woods
Chad Gable
Apollo Crews
Sheamus
