2017 NFL Mock Draft: Three Full Rounds of Mayhem
By Erik Lambert
This 2017 NFL mock draft is a perfect reflection of how quickly things are changing with this upcoming class and how every team will attack it.
Per usual it’s the quarterbacks and the need for them that is driving things in a new direction. It feels like more teams are entering the fray for a new signal caller, and that inevitably will drive the stock up for the top names in this class. How will this impact the overall results? In several often unexpected ways and with rather surprising consequences both for some players and teams.
1. Cleveland Browns
The urge to take a quarterback is going to be strong for the Cleveland Browns, for obvious reasons. They have few answers at the position and can’t expect to win in the AFC North without one. Still, at present there doesn’t appear to be a QB worth the #1 overall pick. Perhaps that will change during the predraft process, which it often can but until it does this team is not in a position to afford missing on such important picks. <p>Myles Garrett is the kind of generational talent that can change the landscape of an entire half of a football team. He’s big, strong, explosive and athletic. The kind of edge rusher who would fit in any defense. Quarterback will have to know where he is at all times and even running backs won’t be able to avoid him all the time. Put him in the hands of an experience coach like Gregg Williams? It’s a quite the intriguing marriage. </p>. DE. Texas A&M. Myles Garrett . 1. player. 53
