2017 NFL Mock Draft: Bold Trades Reshape The AFC

Florida. Jalen Tabor . 12. player. 50. Having a good defensive coordinator like Teryl Austin can often make a team complacent in thinking they don’t have to invest on that side of the ball as much. Truth is the Detroit Lions have lost a number of key starters the past couple years and it’s showing. Andrew Luck pretty much had his way with their secondary after a slow start i the opener, finishing with 385 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. <p>That is not going to cut it in the NFC North, let alone the rest of the conference. This team needs another capable cover corner opposite Darius Slay.  Fortunately they’re in position to land Jalen Tabor. Another quality man cornerback from Florida, he fits the profile with a 6’0″ frame, long arms and fluid athleticism allowing him to match up with almost any receiver on the field. He’s rarely beaten in coverage, featuring good recovery speed and solid ball skills. There are some maturity question marks to sort through but nothing too severe at present.</p>. CB
