2017 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds of Trade-Fueled Action
By Erik Lambert
33. Cleveland Browns
CB. Florida. Quincy Wilson . 33. player. 53. Having ushered out Joe Haden, the Browns know they’ll have to upgrade the cornerback position at some point. Quincy Wilson is an athletic young man from a proven program at Florida. He’s got the desired size and length, along with awareness in coverage to play the football. Some are concerns about his sometimes giving too much separation to receivers. It overshadows the simple fact that completing passes near him was always difficult.
34. San Francisco 49ers
WR. Western Michigan. Corey Davis . 34. player. 42. The 49ers have made it clear from the outset that they will not be pressured into reaching at the quarterback position. Their focus is on rebuilding one of the worst rosters in the NFL. Wide receiver is by far their most devoid of talent. Quarterbacks can’t survive without weapons. Corey Davis showed at Washington that he’s a weapon. He’s quick, agile, big, strong and just knows how to get open at the right time. Don’t be afraid to throw it his way constantly. He’ll make plays.
35. Jacksonville Jaguars
52. The Jaguars already cut Davon House and are losing Prince Amukamara to free agency as well. They’re fast running out of proven cornerbacks. Not a good thing to have happen when the defense wasn’t overly great to begin with. So they take advantage of a deep class and secure Alabama standout Marlon Humphrey. He’s got size, physicality and the ability to stick on receivers down the field. Very pesky, just how Tom Coughlin likes it.. CB. Alabama. Marlon Humphrey . 35. player

36. Chicago Bears (via BUF)
T.J. Watt . 36. player. 57. The narrative on T.J. Watt is rather mixed. Some believe he has a chance to be a solid pass rush specialist in the NFL on key downs. Others think he has the versatility to become a highly effective outside linebacker. He’s long, quick, and relentless in pursuit of the football. He also has many of the same instinctive qualities as his brother J.J. Chicago has every reason to keep stockpiling pass rushers given the age and injury concerns they have at that position.. OLB.
