2017 NFL Mock Draft: Mitch Trubisky to the Cleveland Browns?
By Jon Dove
21. Detroit Lions- Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Taco Charlton had a rough Combine experience, but the tape shows a developing pass rusher with major potential. He’s a well-rounded player who can hold up against the run as well as get after the quarterback.
Charlton would be a nice fit opposite Ziggy Ansah and help the Lions immediately beef up their pass rush.

22. Miami Dolphins- Carl Lawson, Edge, Auburn
Miami could use this pick to address several needs including the secondary, offensive line and linebacker. However, they also need another pass-rushing option to work with Cameron Wake and Andre Branch.
Carl Lawson is an underrated prospect at this stage in the process. He’s someone with a good burst, natural balance and the ability to bend around the edge.
23. New York Giants- Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
The Giants really need to find someone to protect Eli Manning’s blindside. He has dealt with a ton of pressure of the past few years and it has impacted his overall play. New York has the offensive weapons to be an elite unit, but poor offensive line play could quickly derail those hopes.
24. Oakland Raiders- Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
Oakland has built a strong overall roster that features elite players and depth. However, they could use some help in the secondary. Quincy Wilson has the talent to make an immediate impact but wouldn’t need to with the Raiders.
He could slowly be worked into the mix which will help him develop his natural talents.
25. Houston Texans- Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
The Houston Texans need to address the quarterback position early in the 2017 NFL Draft. Deshaun Watson is a proven winner and arguably the most pro-ready quarterback in this draft. This isn’t about overall skill, but the fact that he has experience playing in pressure situations.
