2017 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterback Plunge Alters Entire Board

WR. Washington. John Ross . 15. player. 54. Every young quarterback needs that certain pass target they can rely on to make the play. As yet Carson Wentz hasn’t found his. The Philadelphia Eagles know they have to change that as quickly as possible if they’re going to get their franchise QB off the ground sooner than later. Sometimes it takes a certain degree of faith and forward thinking to pull off, or just copying what other teams have done. Like investing in quicker, more agile weapons. <p>Look at New England and Pittsburgh and it wouldn’t take long to see John Ross would fit their systems perfectly. He may be just 5’11” but the Washington receiver makes up for it with crisp route running and speed. He just knows how to get himself open and has a pair of reliable hands. Every time the Huskies needed a big play or a first down, he was the guy they looked to. So he won’t be a stranger to that same role in Philly.</p>
