SBN's Way too Early 2017 NFL Mock Draft
Posted on 5/2/16 at 6:23 pm

The first thing that comes to mind about the 2017 NFL Draft is the sheer amount of running backs who are likely to be high-round picks. Leonard Fournette of LSU and Dalvin Cook of Florida State lead the way as obvious first-round picks. But there are a couple more who could land in the first 32 picks.
Notable picks:
quote:
1. Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson Watson’s career arc has him hurtling toward the Heisman Trophy and being the No. 1 pick in the draft. Beyond his deep-ball accuracy, he is an impressive prospect.
quote:
2. San Francisco 49ers: Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami Kaaya has progressed in each of his first two seasons as a starter and could explode under the guidance of new Miami head coach Mark Richt.
quote:
7. New Orleans Saints: Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss In 2015, Kelly showed flashes of brilliance. He’s an incredibly talented passer who needs to prove wrong those who doubt him because of his character concerns. New Orleans has been evaluating quarterbacks for a reason.
quote:
9. Cleveland Browns (via Philadelphia): Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU Fournette is a powerhouse running back who throws defenders around with ease. He’s built for the AFC North.
quote:
13. Atlanta Falcons: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M Garrett will probably go much higher than this in a year, but who knows. None of us know. For the Falcons he can be a pass rusher on the line with Vic Beasley making plays behind him.
quote:
17. Oakland Raiders: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State Latavius Murray is a free agent after the season, and Cook would be an upgrade.
quote:
18. New York Giants: Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia This pick assumes Chubb will recover fine from a bad knee injury in October. If so, he can be just as good as the two running backs taken ahead of him.
quote:
32. New England Patriots: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford The year of the running back closes out the first round with the Patriots grabbing a running back who can make big plays in the run and pass offense.
The rest can be found here

I will literally cry if Buga goes to Cleveland.

I just don't understand the logic of picking a RB in the 1st rd outside of an Adrian Peterson type.

Until they both get staph infections at the team facility

I can see Fournette & Cook going in the 1st rd. The other two not so much.

Excluding injury Garrett is a lock to go top 3.
Posted on 5/2/16 at 6:36 pm to JBeam
Cleveland is going to be really good soon if they get Watson and Fournette

CBS has Jamal Adams going #3 overall
Posted on 5/2/16 at 6:41 pm to TheWalrus
He's a strong safety at the next level right? There is zero chance I take a non cover 1 Earl Thomas type in the top 5.
Posted on 5/2/16 at 6:43 pm to TheWalrus
Dude would have to have a Mathieu type of season for that to happen. He was kind of a let down last year.

With their OL they could put any average RB back there and he would look all pro. They didn't need to waste a 1st round pick on a RB

and everyone said the exact same thing when they didn't get Gurley last year.

Brad fricking Kaaya #2 overall?
Posted on 5/2/16 at 6:50 pm to JBeam
Agreed, no way he goes that high. I could see mid-late first round like Eric Reid, but he's not nearly good enough in coverage or forcing turnovers to justify that high of a pick.

Might as well include the entire SEC:
3. San Diego Chargers: Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama
The pick up of Joey Bosa this year gives the Chargers a star on the defensive line. Getting Williams next year will give them one at linebacker.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
Robinson had a rocky 2015 season, but he has the skill set to bounce back. He can be the left tackle that Luke Joeckel has thus far failed to become.
7. New Orleans Saints: Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss
In 2015, Kelly showed flashes of brilliance. He’s an incredibly talented passer who needs to prove wrong those who doubt him because of his character concerns. New Orleans has been evaluating quarterbacks for a reason.

Fournette is a powerhouse running back who throws defenders around with ease. He’s built for the AFC North.
10. Miami Dolphins: Jalen Tabor, CB, Florida
Drafting Xavien Howard in the second round was a need-based pick, but Tabor projects as a true No. 1 corner.
13. Atlanta Falcons: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
Garrett will probably go much higher than this in a year, but who knows. None of us know. For the Falcons he can be a pass rusher on the line with Vic Beasley making plays behind him.

19. New York Jets: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama
Muhammad Wilkerson is probably out in New York, and Allen can come right in and fill his spot.
20. Baltimore Ravens: Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee
The Ravens took two cornerbacks in the draft this year, but fourth-rounder Tavon Young is a nickel corner only and sixth-round pick Maurice Canady is, well, a sixth-rounder.
24. Dallas Cowboys: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
White could have gone pro and been a second- or third-round pick in 2016. Another season in a loaded LSU defense should push him higher up the draft.
25. Arizona Cardinals: Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU
Both Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd are free agents after the season, so the Cardinals may need receiving help in next year’s draft.
26. Carolina Panthers: Greg Pyke, OT, Georgia
My never-ending quest to mock offensive tackles to the Panthers continues with Pyke, a tackle who could have gone pro after last season.
27. Cincinnati Bengals: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
The Bengals could use another pass rusher, and next year’s draft should have several to choose from.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri
James Harrison is likely entering his final season, and Jarvis Jones is a free agent. Harris is an athletic edge rusher who will likely kick out to linebacker in the NFL.

The pick up of Joey Bosa this year gives the Chargers a star on the defensive line. Getting Williams next year will give them one at linebacker.
