2017 NFL Mock Draft: Where did all the Quarterbacks Go?
By Jon Dove
17. Arizona Cardinals- Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
Arizona either needs to move on from Carson Palmer or improve the offensive line. This offense has really struggled to find a rhythm and it’s due to Palmer’s mistakes and lack of protection. Cam Robinson is someone capable of playing both tackle spots and potentially guard.
18. Cleveland Browns (via Phi)- DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Deshaun Watson’s stock has taken a big hit this year. He just hasn’t been overly accurate, but more importantly hasn’t taken a step forward in his development. However, he still has elite physical tools and would represent a perfect piece of clay for Hue Jackson to mold.

19. Buffalo Bills- Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
With or without Rex Ryan, the Buffalo Bills are a team built to run the football. They play in some harsh weather conditions which at times make it difficult to air it out. It also helps that they have LeSean McCoy in the backfield. Mike McGlinchey would represent a major upgrade at the right tackle position.
20. Detroit Lions- Dawuane Smoot, DE, Illinois
Pairing Dawuane Smoot with Ezekiel Ansah would give the Detroit Lions devastating pass rush. Improving the pass rush would help protect the secondary and other parts of the defense. Both Smoot and Ansah are also strong run defenders.
