2017 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds of Trade-Fueled Action

Marcus Mariota turned in a Pro Bowl season for the Tennessee Titans in 2016. What makes that impressive, aside from the fact it was just his second year, was that he did it with a cast of largely average wide receivers. Rishard Matthews, Kendall Wright and Tajae Sharpe make for good possession types but none of them give the offense some true big play ability. Somebody who can threaten to hit the home run at any moment. <p>Safe to say after clocking a 4.22 in the 40 at the combine, John Ross is one such type. Don’t be distracted by that though. His film at Washington already reflected a gifted young receiver who made defensive backs look foolish on a number of occasions. He can line up anywhere on the field and instantly create a mismatch thanks to his quickness and agility. Put him in play action situations with that Titans ground game? Deadly.</p>. WR. Washington.
