Draft order taken from here
http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftorder2017.php so don’t bitch.
Round 1
1. Cleveland Browns (1-15) - Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
The Browns would be silly to pass on Garrett. Garrett and Allen are both can’t miss prospects and the QBs in this class are average at best. They could develop as could any player ever but Garrett and Allen are as sure of a thing as you can get.
2. San Francisco 49ers (2-14) - Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
I’d love to throw Allen in here but it seems pretty clear that the Niners are in love with Trubisky.
3. Chicago Bears (3-13) - Jonathan Allen, DE/DT, Alabama
I’d just like to point out that in my last mock I had the Bears taking Allen while a lot of major mock sites had them still taking a QB. Seems like everyone is on the Allen idea now too.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-13) - Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
This could be Thomas or Barnett. I personally like Barnett more so I value him more so he goes sooner. Feel free to flip flop Barnett and Thomas though if you so choose.
5. Tennessee Titans via Los Angeles Rams (4-12) - Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
Alright this is the first real shake up I’ve done this year in any of my mocks. Apparently the Titans are in love with Mike Williams and for good reason, he’s a stud. They likely won’t take him here but if he comes out and puts on a show at the combine, the Titans will have no chance of getting him at 18 so it’s either take him here or trade up with the #18 pick. They have the ammo for it but there’s also a lot of secondary talent in this draft, they can take Williams here and still get a stud DB later.
6. New York Jets (5-11) - DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
Jets will happily take Kizer or Trubisky at 6.
7. Los Angeles Chargers (5-11) - Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
Chargers could go a few ways here needed two OTs, two OGs, OLBs, secondary and more haha. One of the OTs might be tempting here but they have been falling out of favor with a lot of teams lately and the Chargers never got a proper replacement for Weddle so here he is. Taking talent over need.
8. Carolina Panthers (6-10) - Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Panthers do the same as the Chargers, pass on the OTs and take talent over need, still filling a need, just not the most pressing one.
9. Cincinnati Bengals (6-9-1) - Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford
Probably the Bengals greatest need, the BPA at the position and one of the BPAs overall at this point, win win win.
10. Buffalo Bills (7-9) - Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
Bills will likely part ways with or lose Gilmore this off season and even with him they need corner help so taking the best corner in the class at 10 is a no brainer.
11. New Orleans Saints (7-9) - Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama
Saints probably have the worst LB group in the NFL.
12. Cleveland Browns via Philadelphia (7-9) - Jamal Adams, S, LSU
I’d like to slot Cam Robinson here but continuing to totally rebuild that defense is tough to pass on here for the Browns.
13. Arizona Cardinals (7-8-1) - Pat Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech
Cardinals need a replacement for Carson and Mahomes has all the tools of an NFL QB and even though he was in a gimicky offense in college, he seems to be hell bent on proving that he can be productive in the NFL. Plus, Carson Palmer put his Arizona house up for sale this past week. Could mean he’s retiring, could mean he knows we’re cutting him, could mean nothing. Regardless, a QB of the future is a must for Arizona.
14. Indianapolis Colts (8-8) - Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
While Dalvin Cook would be a sexy pick here and would fit the Colts offense perfectly, protecting Andrew Luck has to be the #1 above all else priority for the Colts.
15. Philadelphia Eagles via Minnesota (8-8) - Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
Keep Sproles to play his role, get rid of all of the other bums they used at RB last year and give the reigns to Cook who imo is just as good as Fournette.
16. Baltimore Ravens (8-8) - Malik McDowell, DE, Michigan State
Corner, DE, OLB, lot’s of possibility here for the Ravens but I like McDowell a lot for them.
17. Washington Redskins (8-7-1) - Adoree' Jackson, CB/S, USC
Skins need help at both corner and safety so a versatile guy like Jackson could allow them freedom with the rest of their picks.
18. Tennessee Titans (9-7) - Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Tennessee took a slight risk taking Mike Williams as high as they did but it worked out very well here for them since they got the best WR in the class by far and one of the top corners as well (arguably the best corner by some).
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) - John Ross, WR, Washington
The Buccs need a compliment for Mike Evans and Ross would be the perfect fit.
20. Denver Broncos (9-7) - Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
This is an absolute no brainer. If Ramczyk somehow actually falls this far the Broncos will have their pick in before Goodell gets off the stage for the Buccs pick.
21. Detroit Lions (9-7) - Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida
Attempting to fill the void still left behind by Suh.
22. Miami Dolphins (10-6) - Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
Cunningham is a beast and will likely be gone before this selection but if he’s still here the Dolphins have to take him having need for basically all new starting LBs.
23. New York Giants (11-5) - O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
This is a very un-Giants like pick but they have a desperate need for a reliable TE option and Howard is far and away the best TE in this class plus he’s one of the BPAs here so good all around pick.
24. Las Vegas Raiders (12-4) - Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan
Raiders will draft Peppers with the intention of using him in more of a LB roll.
25. Houston Texans (9-7) - Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Well here it is. I’ll put money on Watson going before this which is just silly. Dude isn’t that good but he’ll get overhyped and pushed into the first round. Texans are going to be desperate for a QB option after seeing their 100 bajillion dollar waste of money prove that he is complete and utter shit.
26. Seattle Seahawks (10-5-1) - Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan
With no really great OL options here the Seahawks address their biggest need on the defensive side of the ball.
27. Kansas City Chiefs (12-4) - Sidney Jones, CB, Washington
Chiefs need a more reliable option across from Peters and the last Washington corner they took (Peters) has worked out pretty well for them.
28. Dallas Cowboys (13-3) - Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Gregory is proving to be a wasted pick and the Cowboys were ass at pressuring the QB.
29. Green Bay Packers (10-6) - Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
Packers should be sitting pretty at this pick and be able to address their biggest need. They need corner help so badly and there is a shit ton of corner talent in this class so one of these talented corners should be available for them at 29.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5) - Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri
James Harrison is an absolute fucking freak of nature but how long can he really keep going? An early round investment on his eventual replacement is a must for the Steelers.
31. Atlanta Falcons (11-5) - Tim Williams, DE/OLB, Alabama
Atlanta doesn’t seem to have a lot of needs but a better option across from Beastley is something they need to look for.
32. New England Patriots (14-2) - Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
Is it too easy to give the Patriots a white skills position guy?
