2017 NFL Mock Draft: The Final 7-Round Apocalypse

1. player. 53. That franchise pass rusher Browns nation really has never seen before. Myles Garrett will instantly change the landscape of that entire defense in Cleveland. He may not be the shiny, new QB people are itching for but he’s far and away the best talent in the draft.. DE. Texas A&M. Myles Garrett

53. Cleveland needs a leader. Pure and simple. They tried the creative talent in Johnny Manziel and it blew up in their faces. Maybe it’s time to try a quarterback who is tested and known for his intangibles. Deshaun Watson may not be elite physically, but he has enough to accentuate his blue chip mind and competitiveness.. QB. Clemson. Deshaun Watson . 12. player

S. Washington. Budda Baker . 33. player. 53. He may be undersized but Budda Baker is a man who finds the football, gets to the football and makes sure the football doesn’t go anywhere. He can play the run among the best in this class and is dangerous in coverage too. After awhile you forget he’s a bit shorter than average.

53. Joe Haden isn’t the player he was a few year ago. Cleveland needs a corner with size and athleticism who can man the boundary to prevent big plays down the field. Cordrea Tankersley specialized at that for Clemson. It was difficult to get anything by him most of the time.. CB. Clemson. Cordrea Tankersley . 52. player

Penn State. Chris Godwin . 65. player. 53. He’s not the biggest or the fastest but Chris Godwin played like he’s both for Penn State. The guy was an absolute beast down the stretch last season. He can make those tough catches and be the security blanket for any quarterback who has to have a first down.. WR

53. The 21-year old kid was so inconsistent at Florida State. His technique is lousy and it shows on tape. That said he shows tons of flashes for his huge athletic upside. If he’s coached up and learns to play aggressive, he can be the eventual replacement to Joe Thomas.. OT. Florida State. Roderick Johnson . 108. player

S. Louisville. Josh Harvey-Clemons . 145. player. 53. The Kam Chancellor comparisons are not a joke. This kid is big and he hits hard. He plays fast, smart and with loads of aggression. If not for several off-the-field problems he would be a possible 1st round option. There is risk here, but a calculated one.

ILB. Tennessee. Jalen Reeves-Maybin . 175. player. 53. A jack-of-all-trades player who just seems to do everything asked of him pretty well. He can run, chase, tackles and drop into coverage. He’ll even provide quality pressure through blitzing. His body is undersized though so it will be about finding ways to protect him from getting swallowed by big blockers.

QB. Iowa. C.J. Beathard . 181. player. 53. People won’t be wowed by his size or his arm. C.J. Beathard is all about being advanced in his understanding of a pro-style offense. He can run an offense in the NFL right now with efficiency. He’ll make for a perfect backup quarterback in the long-term behind Watson.

Drake. Eric Saubert . 185. player. 53. More offensive weaponry is never a bad thing. This tight end class is deep enough to yield some late gems. Eric Saubert won’t get any high grades for blocking but he’s a big athlete who understands how to run routes and get open as a receiver. More weapons for the young QB, the better.. TE

The draft started with a pass rusher, so why not end it with one? Avery Moss is extremely raw at the moment but he has the body and athleticism of an NFL pass rusher. He’s still figuring out how to use both. Gregg Williams can help show him the way.. DE. Youngstown. Avery Moss . 188. player. 53
