2017 Mock Drafts

[NoDak]

He wasnt invited to the combine.

Eh. Whatever.

Pro day interviews. Invites.

I think he'll still get drafted. Teams take chances late on elite size that also has some skills involved.

 

[NoDak]

Im pretty positive it wasnt a training exercise.

I've read numerous times it was because he was disciplining the dog because it messed in the house. Let his frustration and anger take over. Absolutely wrong, but guys that have done worse get drafted every year.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

He wasnt invited to the combine.

Because of the charges. It's a new NFL rule. Sort of like Mixon didn't get invited and he is a legit firstish day pick if he didn't cold cock that girl.

Yeah it's pretty normal for guys to skip the combine. And it's not like he wasn't invited to the combine because of talent. He wasn't invited because of the conviction. Just like any other player with a criminal history involving violence this year.

And maybe he doesn't get drafted but other then the PR hit I'm not real worried about another dog beating incident. It's not the type of offense you repeat. And if you do you probably don't get caught doing it. (Dogs can't talk afterall) I don't condone what he did but it's not like he pulled a Michael Vick either.

Yep. He's filmed knocking a woman out, and will still get drafted in the top 3-4 rounds. A guy whips a dog with a belt and won't get drafted because of it? I don't buy it. Zamora has size and skills. He'll get drafted.

I wonder how fast he will run. He looks real big on film. He is listed at 6'4" 220 pounds and he looks every bit of that during the games. But he also is running past people too.

Baylor's profile page says he ran a 4.47 But I'm not sure how much you can trust that. I think with his size, if he runs a low 4.5 or better during his pro day, he'll open some eyes.

 

[skidadl]

Zamora won't get drafted.

Yeah, that dude has major issues. I'm not really interested in another possible suspension waiting to happen.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Yeah, that dude has major issues. I'm not really interested in another possible suspension waiting to happen.

Is there anything else besides the dog incident? I've seen it, it isn't good but I've seen much worse with dogs. It wasn't something that made me think he would snap and beat a girl or something.

He looks like he is built like Devin Funchess with better speed.

I really thought there was but I can't find it now so I might have been wrong.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I really thought there was but I can't find it now so I might have been wrong.

I mean I don't want to draft a mental case, not even in the sixth round. But I honestly don't know much about the guy personally. I just know what he did on the field and what I saw in the video that got posted online. It's unfortunate that they are keeping players with questionable backgrounds away from the combine. I feel like the interview process there would be really important for guys like this.

Reuter 4-round mock draft: Top talent drops with early QB run

Producing a four-round mock draft two weeks before the NFL Scouting Combine is done for one of two reasons: 1) You're certifiably insane. 2) You want a snapshot of how players are viewed going into an event many refer to as the "Underwear Olympics."

I'll claim it was done for the latter reason, though most who know me will choose the former. Either way, I hope you enjoy viewing one potential scenario of how things could play out in the draft.

Note: The Vikings, who traded their first-round pick to the Eagles, have the same record and strength of schedule as the Colts, so there's a tie for the 14th pick. A coin flip at a later date will determine which team picks first.


RANK
1

BROWNS


Myles Garrett - DE, Texas A&M: Cleveland can wait on getting that passer and take the player at the top of most teams' boards.


RANK
2

49ERS


Mitch Trubisky - QB, North Carolina: Trubisky's accuracy and mobility make him a talented prospect.


RANK
3

BEARS


Jonathan Allen - DT, Alabama: The Bears add another defensive piece to go along with last year's top pick, Leonard Floyd.


RANK
4

JAGUARS


Malik Hooker - S, Ohio State: Hooker's range and ball skills are top-10 worthy.


RANK
5

TITANS


Solomon Thomas - DE, Stanford: Karl Klug's a free agent, so the Titans will be looking for a difference-maker on the defensive line.


RANK
6

JETS


Marshon Lattimore - CB, Ohio State: "Revis Island" out, "Nevermore Lattimore" in.


RANK
7

CHARGERS


Ryan Ramczyk - OT, Wisconsin: Philip Rivers doesn't have many seasons left; the team must protect him while it still can. Ramczyk will also help pave the way for fellow Badger Melvin Gordon.


RANK
8

PANTHERS


Leonard Fournette - RB, LSU: Will Fournette's 2016 injury cause teams to pause before picking him in the top five? The Panthers would love that to happen.


RANK
9

BENGALS


Taco Charlton - DE, Michigan: Last year, people were surprised Chicago chose Leonard Floyd at No. 9; no one should be surprised at this pick.


RANK
10

BILLS


Mike Williams - WR, Clemson: How about Williams and Sammy Watkins, two Clemson guys, catching passes for the Bills?


RANK
11

SAINTS


Reuben Foster - ILB, Alabama: Athletic and strong, Foster's going to be a Patrick Willis-like force in the middle.


RANK
12

BROWNS


Deshaun Watson - QB, Clemson: Watson should be picked higher than this, but that chip on his shoulder should serve him well.


RANK
13

CARDINALS


DeShone Kizer - QB, Notre Dame: The Cardinals get the heir apparent to Carson Palmer.


RANK
14

COLTS


Christian McCaffrey - RB/WR, Stanford: McCaffrey has almost flown under the radar, but teams haven't forgotten about his talent.


RANK
14

EAGLES


Corey Davis - WR, Western Michigan: Carson Wentz needs more reliable targets, and Davis is more than just reliable.


RANK
16

RAVENS


Jamal Adams - S, LSU: Adams is another safety who could go higher, but quarterback needs could push a very talented player to Baltimore (again).


RANK
17

REDSKINS


Tre'Davious White - CB, LSU: White has earned high marks for his coverage ability.


RANK
18

TITANS


David Njoku - TE, Miam: Njoku is already being noticed by scouts, and a great Combine might put him in the top 10, just like Eric Ebron.


RANK
19

BUCCANEERS


Dalvin Cook - RB, Florida State: Cook is a potential all-pro, but his injury history and past off-field issues could make him available later in the first round.


RANK
20

BRONCOS


Forrest Lamp - OT, Western Kentucky The line must improve whether Paxton Lynch, Trevor Siemian, or Tony Romo are leading the offense next season.


RANK
21

LIONS


Teez Tabor - CB, Florida: The Lions have had issues in the secondary for years. Tabor should help lock down one side of the field.


RANK
22

DOLPHINS


Derek Barnett - DE, Tennessee: Cameron Wake and Mario Williams are over 30, and free agency will cut into the Dolphins' depth.


RANK
23

GIANTS


O.J. Howard - TE, Alabama: Eli Manning is going to love having the athleticism of Howard on his side.


RANK
24

RAIDERS


Caleb Brantley - DT, Florida: Jack Del Rio wants an interior pass rusher. Brantley's relentless inside? That's a good fit.


RANK
25

TEXANS


Garett Bolles - OT, Utah: Injuries and ineffectiveness have made tackle a need spot for the Texans.


RANK
26

SEAHAWKS


Cam Robinson - OT, Alabama: The Seahawks desperately need offensive line help, and whether Robinson plays inside or outside, he'll provide that assistance.


RANK
27

CHIEFS


Sidney Jones - CB, Washington: How about two former Washington corners making plays for the Chiefs?


RANK
28

COWBOYS


John Ross - WR, Washington: If the Cowboys don't see any "war daddies" available at this pick, and if Terrance Williams doesn't return in 2017, picking up Ross would help Dak Prescott immensely.


RANK
29

PACKERS


Cordrea Tankersley - CB, Clemson: Green Bay missed the length and athleticism of Sam Shields this year. Tankersley could become just as effective.


RANK
30

STEELERS


Haason Reddick - OLB, Temple: Reddick was one of the big winners at the Senior Bowl, and the Steelers need help inside and outside with Lawrence Timmons, James Harrison, and Jarvis Jones all free agents.


RANK
31

FALCONS


Charles Harris - DE, Missouri: The Falcons' pass rushers ran out of gas at the end of Super Bowl LI. Harris adds the needed spark.


RANK
32

PATRIOTS


Takkarist McKinley - DE, UCLA: Bill Belichick continues to use early-round picks on the defensive line. He'll covet McKinley's versatility as a stand-up or hand-down rusher.

John Ross, DeMarcus Walker, Rasul Douglas and Jarron Jones? Sign me up. I'd take that.

John Ross, DeMarcus Walker, Rasul Douglas and Jarron Jones? Sign me up. I'd take that.

No wikey Walker.

 

[NoDak]

No wikey Walker.

I don't care. I do.



Walker isn't my favorite, sure. There are other's I'd prefer over him. But if we walked away with that from the first four rounds, I could certainly live with it.

 

[boozeman]

I don't care. I do.



Walker isn't my favorite, sure. There are other's I'd prefer over him. But if we walked away with that from the first four rounds, I could certainly live with it.

Yeah, I would be...satisfied.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

No wikey Walker.

I like him, I think he is a good fit on our defense but he just doesn't really fill that pass rushing DE need we have. I really like the guy though and think he could be highly productive in Dallas.

 

[NoDak]

Yeah, I would be...satisfied.

Nobody here believes that. It doesn't matter who we draft, you'd find fault with it. It's what you do.

 

[boozeman]

I like him, I think he is a good fit on our defense but he just doesn't really fill that pass rushing DE need we have. I really like the guy though and think he could be highly productive in Dallas.

He is more of the same. How many of the same kind of guy are we going to have?

 

[boozeman]

Nobody here believes that. It doesn't matter who we draft, you'd find fault with it. It's what you do.

And?

This one got the corner right. I could tolerate the FSU kid.
