2017 NFL Draft Tracker: Live analysis and pick reactions

The Cleveland Browns end the suspense and take Garrett with the top selection. From our scouting report: “With the right coaches, Garrett can be a dangerous pass rusher at the next level. NFL training staffs will get his weight in the correct range, and coaches will mentor him on how to beat NFL tackles more effectively.”. Myles Garrett, DE. Texas A&M. Cleveland Browns. 1. player. 53

57. **Traded 3rd and 4th round pick in ’17, 3rd round pick in 2018** The Bears make the shocking move to trade three picks and move up to get Trubisky, who will sit for a year behind Mike Glennon and learn the ropes.. Mitchell Trubisky, QB. North Carolina. Chicago Bears. 2. player

player. 42. After making a trade with the Chicago Bears to accumulate an insane amount of valuable picks, John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan get their guy in Stanford defensive lineman Solomon Thomas. Thomas is a versatile threat up front that can create havoc in the backfield.. Solomon Thomas, DE. Stanford. San Francisco 49ers. 3

52. The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t have a pressing need for a running back on paper, but the talent Leonard Fournette is simply too great to pass on here. He is a difference maker who can help take pressure off of Blake Bortles.. Leonard Fournette, RB. LSU. Jacksonville Jaguars. 4. player

35. The Tennessee Titans didn’t want to risk their top receiver target not making it to pick no. 18 overall, and they took Corey Davis at no. 5 overall. Davis is a true no. 1 receiver who will become the new best friend of rising star quarterback Marcus Mariota.. Corey Davis, WR. Western Michigan. Tennessee Titans. 5. player

Jamal Adams, S. LSU. New York Jets. 6. player. 30. The Jets sort of lucked into the fall of Jamal Adams here, getting a ‘culture changer’ as some experts have called him. Adams is a tone setter and leader who will quickly develop into one of the league’s top young safeties.

. Los Angeles Chargers. 7. player. 13. As the Chargers relocate to Los Angeles, they add a playmaker for Philip Rivers to get the ball to in the twilight of his NFL career. Mike Williams is one of the best receivers in this year’s draft, and showed out in the National Title game. He knows how to high point the ball and will be a welcomed addition in Los Angeles..

Carolina Panthers. 8. player. 87. The Carolina Panthers make the pick that was talked about a ton in the pre-draft process, and get the versatile playmaker Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball and will be the perfect guy to have helping out Cam Newton.. Christian McCaffrey, RB. Stanford

The Bengals get another weapon for Andy Dalton and someone to take the pressure off of A.J. Green on the other side. John Ross has insane speed and can stretch the field. Big time playmaker.. John Ross, WR. Washington. Cincinnati Bengals. 9. player. 56

Texas Tech. Kansas City Chiefs. 10. player. 124. **Chiefs trade 1st and 3rd round picks in this year’s draft and 1st rounder in 2018 to move into this spot** The Chiefs maneuvered up and gave up their 1st round selection in next year’s draft to get Mahomes. This is an ideal year for the Chiefs to get a quarterback with Alex Smith’s contract situation after the season. Mahomes needs time, and he will get at least a year here. Bold move by Kansas City.. Patrick Mahomes, QB

15. The New Orleans Saints needed some help in the secondary, and after flirting with trading for Patriots CB Malcolm Butler, they settle on Marshon Lattimore, a projected top three pick by some. Lattimore’s excellent speed and mirror cover skills are much needed in New Orleans.. Marshon Lattimore, CB. Ohio State. New Orleans Saints. 11. player

Clemson. Houston Texans. 12. player. 10. **Traded 1st round pick in 2017 and 2018 to move into this slot** After the failed experiment with Brock Osweiler, the Houston Texans go all-in with this pick and take DeShaun Watson. After Watson’s last game as a Clemson Tiger, it’s easy to love his game. Can he lead a talented Houston squad into playoff prominence?. DeShaun Watson, QB

13. player. 32. Nobody has improved their draft stock more than Haason Reddick. He had 22.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks this past year and is a perfect fit as a stand up edge rusher for the Cardinals. He’s extremely athletic and has an incredibly high motor. Every year he gets better and his versatility makes him a threat for any linebacker position.. Haason Reddick, OLB. Temple . Arizona Cardinals

Barnett is one of the most productive edge rushers in the SEC. He broke Reggie White’s all-time sack record at Tennessee and now he’s going to Philadelphia. Barnett can put his hand in the dirt or stand up off the edge. Barnett is quick off the edge and has some of the most vicious hands in the draft. The Eagles needed help rushing the passer and Barnett could become an immediate impact for them.. Derek Barnett, DE. Tennessee . Philadelphia Eagles. 14. player. 54

46. The Colts have an extremely thin secondary. Malik Hooker is a legit center fielder for a defense and can become an immediate impact. Single high coverage is where he’ll make his money but his range is unbelievable. He makes plays all over the field and could be the next Ed Reed. The biggest question mark is if he can stay healthy. If he can, this is a home run for the Colts.. Malik Hooker, S. Ohio State . Indianapolis Colts. 15. player

Athletic cornerback who is the most physical player at the position. Humphrey has great closing speed and could be the hammer the Ravens secondary lacks. He needs to improve his ball skills but he’s a sure thing in run support. With the health concerns in the Ravens secondary, Humphrey is a solid addition.. Marlon Humphrey, CB. Alabama . Baltimore Ravens. 16. player. 26

Adoree' Jackson, CB. USC. Tennessee Titans. 18. player. 35. After taking Corey Davis with their first pick, the Titans select Adoree’ Jackson for their defense. He’s an electric playmaker on special teams and has great upside as a cornerback. He’s a legitimate speedster and closes well for a player of his size. He might not have the size to be on the outside but he should compliment Logan Ryan, perfectly.

19. player. 48. The push for quarterbacks in the early stages of the first round pushes a lot of talent back. O.J. Howard on the board seems impossible but he’s a perfect fit for the Buccaneers. Howard can do it all from his blocking ability and catching ability. He’s an athletic freak and should become the perfect compliment to Jameis Winston.. O.J. Howard, TE. Alabama . Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Utah . Denver Broncos. 20. player. 45. There was no secret to what the Broncos were going to pick. After losing Russell Okung, there was an immediate need for a left tackle. Bolles is a perfect fit for the Broncos in a variety of ways. From the climate and to the scheme. He’s a physical player who plays with a chip on his shoulder. He’s a better pass blocker than a run blocker but he can get to the second level, at ease with his athletic ability.. Garett Bolles, OT

21. player. 50. The slide for Reuben Foster continues. There’s a legit concern with his shoulder and it paves the way for Jarrad Davis. After an impressive showing at his pro day, the Lions get an instant starter at linebacker. Davis can be an inside linebacker who plugs the gaps well with his agility. He should become a playmaker for the Lions.. Jarrad Davis, LB. Florida . Detroit Lions

Missouri . Miami Dolphins. 22. player. 59. Finding an edge rusher on defense was a need for the Dolphins. They need to get some help for Ndamukong Suh and should prepare for what’s to come with Cameron Wake. Charles Harris has an incredible spin move and should be an ideal fit as a 5-technique.. Charles Harris, DE

Evan Engram, TE. Ole Miss . New York Giants. 23. player. 31. There might not be a more dynamic tight end in this draft than this one. Engram can line up all over the field and ran a 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds. Putting Engram in the middle of this offense and they should be a fun group to watch. I consider this a reach for the fact the Giants still have some offensive line needs but I understand what Engram brings to the table. He should become a nightmare to cover for linebackers.

Gareon Conley, CB. Ohio State . Oakland Raiders. 24. player. 28. This is a top-15 talent but there’s a lot of risk behind it. Gareon Conley has some serious off-the-field troubles right now. He hasn’t been charged with anything but there’s a serious investigation ongoing. The Raiders had a serious need at cornerback and this fills that void. Conley is a great press corner who needs to improve his tackling ability. If everything checks out, this could become the steal of the first round.

53. Surprise! Surprise! Moving back from the 12th overall pick to the 25th overall pick could pay off big time for the Browns. They stockpile more picks and get an incredibly athletic player. Peppers can be a nickel corner or can play safety. There’s a chance he plays offense but he can be a special player. The Browns need to draft talent and there’s no denying the talent that Peppers has.. Jabrill Peppers, S. Michigan . Cleveland Browns. 25. player

Atlanta Falcons. 26. player. 44. **Seattle traded the 26th overall pick to Atlanta for the 31st overall pick, 95th overall pick (3rd round) and 249th overall pick (7th round) of this year’s draft.**<br /> Productive edge rusher coming out of UCLA with a high motor. McKinley has active hands and is versatile force off the edge. He’s a pass rusher who needs to improve his ability in stopping the run. Overall, he compliments Vic Beasley and could become a force for the Falcons.. Takkarist McKinley, OLB. UCLA

16. With Stephon Gilmore going to the Patriots, there was an obvious need for a cornerback. Tre’Davious White had 34 pass deflections and 6 interceptions in his career at LSU. He’s good press cornerback who can play on the outside or in the slot. He’s a physical player down field and has the ability to find the ball. Stockpiling picks and grabbing a player like White is a solid move by the Buffalo Bills.. Tre'Davious White, CB . LSU. Buffalo Bills. 27. player

Dallas Cowboys. 28. player. 123. There has been an obvious need for the Cowboys to select a pass rusher. Taco Charlton has 18.5 career sacks and has great length for the position. Every year he’s been on the field, he’s gotten better. He moves well in the open field but needs to sharpen his technique. This should scream consistency off the edge for the Cowboys. Taco Charlton, DE. Michigan

53. **Green Bay traded the 29th overall pick to Cleveland for the 33rd overall pick (2nd round) and 108th overall pick (4th round) of this year’s draft. ** <p>Something is happening in the Cleveland Browns war room and it’s looking good. Njoku is a young talent who is only 20-years old. He’s a raw football player who is a vertical threat receiver. He is consistent with his run blocking ability but he can still improve as he gets stronger. Whoever the quarterback is for the Browns, this is a solid weapon for them. </p>. David Njoku, TE. Miami (FL) . Cleveland Browns. 29. player

55. The Steelers needed some serious help off the edge and they just got it. T.J. Watt will live in his brother’s shadow but he can create a name for himself in Pittsburgh. He’s quick off the football and has great hand placement with his technique. He’ll be a stand up edge rusher for the Steelers and will always display great tackling ability.. T.J. Watt, OLB. Wisconsin . Pittsburgh Steelers. 30. player

42. **Seattle traded the 26th overall pick to Atlanta for the 31st overall pick, 95th overall pick (3rd round) and 249th overall pick (7th round) of this year’s draft.** <p>**Seattle traded the 31st overall pick to San Francisco for the 34th overall pick (2nd round) and 109th overall pick (4th round) of this year’s draft.**</p> <p>Ever since Patrick Willis retired, the 49ers have struggled finding consistent play at linebacker. Navarro Bowman has been the exception but Foster should pair up nicely with him. He’s good against the pass and has some of the best range you’ll see out of a linebacker. He goes sideline to sideline and is an electric tackler. John Lynch may have a home run with this selection. </p>. Reuben Foster, LB. Alabama . San Francisco 49ers. 31. player

15. Finding some offensive line help was crucial for the Saints. They were incredibly thin at offensive tackle and Ryan Ramczyk is a starting tackle for the Saints. He has great technique and has a great blend of pass protection and run blocking. With Mark Ingram and Adrian Peterson in their backfield, Ramczyk should help create some running lanes for the duo.. Ryan Ramczyk, OT. Wisconsin . New Orleans Saints. 32. player
