2017 NFL Mock Draft: Free agency frenzy triggers shocking moves

The Texans will take a quarterback in this draft, the question is merely when. Patrick Mahomes is my top ranked QB in the draft on pure ability alone. He has the strongest arm, and incredible on-field awareness. It’ll take some time to adjust to NFL defenses and making reads, but he could be a great fit in Bill O’Brien’s offense and play early.. Patrick Mahomes, QB. Texas Tech. Houston Texans. 25. player. 10

Seattle Seahawks. 26. player. 36. The Seahawks are desperately searching for upgrades on the offensive line. They are so desperate, in fact, that they paid first round bust Luke Joeckel $8 million dollars to patch up their left guard position. Yikes. Ryan Ramczyk has questions about his love for football, but the environment and coaching staff with this team could help him along quickly.. Ryan Ramczyk, OT. Wisconsin

Tennessee. Kansas City Chiefs. 27. player. 124. The Kansas City Chiefs are an impressive looking team on paper. They don’t have a ton of needs. Their running back position, for the most part (even without Jamaal Charles) is pretty strong. That said, Alvin Kamara is a rare talent that fits what Andy Reid likes to do with all his gadget plays and getting a guy who is this good in open space would be deadly for an improving offense.. Alvin Kamara, RB

Takkarist McKinley is an athletic freak who absolutely blew up this past season at UCLA. The Cowboys need all the help they can get defensively, and this would be an excellent value at the bottom of the first round. He’s the type of relentless edge player this team needs.. Takkarist McKinley, EDGE. UCLA. Dallas Cowboys. 28. player. 123
