2017 NFL Mock Draft: Where did all the Quarterbacks Go?
By Jon Dove
21. Baltimore Ravens- Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame
The Baltimore Ravens want and need to be able to run the football. It’s how they get the most out of Joe Flacco’s success in play action. Notre Dame’s Quenton Nelson is a road-grader who dominates at the point of attack. He’d give the Ravens someone capable of generating a push off the line.
22. Washington Redskins- Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
Zach Cunningham is an underrated prospect who is just now starting to turn heads. He’s an elite athlete with excellent length. Cunningham plays with a tenacity which helps him make plays from sideline to sideline. He’d be a great addition to the middle of the Washington Redskins defense.
23. Houston Texans- Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
Houston’s secondary is banged up at the moment, but even when fully healthy they have had issues at safety. Ohio State’s Malik Hooker is a raw but highly athletic defender. His ball skills make him a major turnover threat.
24. New York Giants- Derek Barnett, Edge, Tennessee
The Giants could target a running back with this pick, but they may need to find a replacement for Jason Pierre-Paul. Derek Barnett has the skill set that Steve Spagnuolo looks for in an edge rusher. He’d be a great fit playing opposite Olivier Vernon.
