2017 Top 10 NFL mock draft 3.0
By jonfox
Who’s going where in the top ten of the NFL draft in 2017?
This will be my third mock NFL draft for 2017 along those lines. Until the official draft order for the top 10 is set, I will use the current Vegas super bowl odds to order the teams at the bottom. One note: this was done before the Jets/Bills game on Thursday night.
1-Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett, DE Texas A&M.
Cleveland does need a quarterback. They also need a ton of talent everywhere. Hue and the Browns have done just well enough with RG3, Kessler, McCown, Whitehurst and Pryor at quarterback that they probably could look at a passer with one of their 5 other top 100 picks.
Garrett could change their defense like Jadeveon Clowney is finally doing for Houston. He’ll play 5, 6 and 7 for them and allow them to run a proper hybrid defense. He would also maximize the contributions from Ogbah and Nassib on the front 7.
2-San Francisco 49ers: Deshone Kizer, QB Notre Dame.
Do you think Chip Kelly regrets taking this job with all the big college head coaching jobs about to open? He may still bolt if Oregon, Southern Cal or Texas comes calling.
Assuming he stays, they need a quarterback unless Kaepernick gets back to his form which got them into the Super bowl. Kizer reminds this author of Steve McNair: strong, powerful, smart and with a changeable delivery where he can slot his arm to adjust his throws. A very impressive prospect but one that needs some time to develop the finer points of the passing game.
