The 2017 NFL Draft is only a few hours away so here are 5 2017 NFL Draft Bold Predictions for the 1st round.

Everyone needs to buckle in because tonight is going to be one of the more crazy drafts in recent memories. My 2017 NFL Draft Bold Predictions speak to some of the different scenarios we could see. We are only a few hours away from finding out just what each of these teams were thinking.

The quarterbacks are the biggest wildcard in this year’s draft. Some are saying that we could see as many as 4 taken in the 1st round with Mitch Trubisky a realistic candidate to be the No. 1 pick. Other questions about the quarterbacks include the landing spot for Deshaun Watson and how high will Patrick Mahomes go.

There’s also some intrigue surrounding the running back position where we could see Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey selected in the top-10. Fournette has been a highly-touted prospect for awhile, but McCaffrey has seen his stock catch fire in recent weeks.

In the end, I think we are in for a wild night filled with trades and surprise picks. There just isn’t a lot of concrete information to go on at this point.
