TPSG 2017 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
The NFL Draft starts on Thursday so it seems like a great time to post my updated NFL mock draft.
The Vikings still don't own a number 1 draft pick and I don't expect them to trade up. If they were to trade up though, I suspect they'd be targeting an interior OL like Forrest Lamp. In round 2, I'm thinking they look at DT's like Caleb Brantley or Malik McDowell. If Cam Robinson falls to them he'd be an interesting possibility too. Pat Elflein is another player I like a lot for the Vikings (although possibly in round 3 not 2). I suspect they pick a mid round RB too (watch for Joe Mixon, Kareem Hunt or Samajae Perine).
Here goes:
- Cleveland Browns - Myles Garrett - DE - Texas A&M
- San Francisco 49ers - Solomon Thomas - DE - Stanford
- Chicago Bears - Jamal Adams - DB - LSU
- Jacksonville Jaguars - Leonard Fournette - RB - LSU
- Tennessee Titans - Marshon Lattimore - CB - Ohio State
- New York Jets - Mitchell Trubisky - QB - North Carolina
- Los Angeles Chargers - Malik Hooker - CB - Ohio State
- Carolina Panthers - Christian McCaffrey - RB - Stanford
- Cincinnati Bengals - Jonathan Allen - DE - Alabama
- Buffalo Bills - O.J. Howard - TE - Alabama
- New Orleans Saints - Haason Reddick - LB - Temple
- Cleveland Browns - Deshaun Watson - QB - Clemson
- Arizona Cardinals - Corey Davis - WR - Western Michigan
- Philadelphia Eagles - Tre'Davious White - CB - LSU
- Indianapolis Colts - Reuben Foster - LB - Alabama
- Baltimore Ravens - Derek Barnett - DE - Tennessee
- Washington Redskins - Dalvin Cook - RB - Florida State
- Tennessee Titans - Mike Williams - WR - Clemson
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Budda Baker - DB - Washington
- Denver Broncos - Ryan Ramczyk - OT - Wisconsin
- Detroit Lions - Taco Charlton - DE - Michigan
- Miami Dolphins - Forrest Lamp - OT - Western Kentucky
- New York Giants - David Njoku - TE - Miami
- Oakland Raiders - Gareon Conley - CB - Ohio State
- Houston Texans - Patrick Mahomes - QB - Texas Tech
- Seattle Seahawks - Garett Bolles - OT - Utah
- Kansas City Chiefs - Zach Cunningham - LB - Vanderbilt
- Dallas Cowboys - Charles Harris - DE - Missouri
- Green Bay Packers - T.J. Watt - DE - Wisconsin
- Pittsburgh Steelers - Marlon Humphrey - CB - Alabama
- Atlanta Falcons - Takkarist McKinley - OLB - UCLA
- New Orleans Saints - Adoree Jackson - CB - USC
I think there is a lot of subterfuge going on by the Browns regarding their interest in selecting Mitch Trubisky at the number 1 overall pick. More likely, they are trying to entice someone into giving up a bundle to move into that number 1 spot. I doubt that anyone bites and I fully expect that Myles Garrett will go the Browns at number 1 and that the Browns will select a QB at the number 12 slot, or maybe trade up from that number 12 slot to get a QB.
I think the Cardinals may also be playing that same gambit. I know they'd love to pick up their QB of the future in this draft, I'm just not convinced that they feel any of the QB's are worth the number 13 pick of the draft. Down here in AZ, I keep hearing a lot of steam around Haason Riddick. I think Corey Davis or Mike Williams would make a lot of sense for them too. Gareon Conley is another name to keep an eye on. If Rueben Foster falls to them too, that would give them something else to think about, although personally I think I'd pass on him given all the red flags popping up on him.

TPSG 2017 NFL Mock Draft 1.0
I think it's time that I post my first 2017 NFL Mock Draft. Here goes:
- Cleveland Browns - Myles Garrett - DE - Texas A&M
- San Francisco 49ers - Solomon Thomas - DE - Stanford
- Chicago Bears - Jonathan Allen - DE - Alabama
- Jacksonville Jaguars - Leonard Fournette - RB - LSU
- Tennessee Titans - Marshon Lattimore - CB - Ohio State
- New York Jets - Jamal Adams - DB - LSU
- Los Angeles Chargers - Malik Hooker - DB - Ohio State
- Carolina Panthers - O.J. Howard - TE - Alabama

- Cleveland Browns - Mitch Trubisky - QB - North Carolina
- Arizona Cardinals - Patrick Mahomes - QB - Texas Tech
- Philadelphia Eagles - Gareon Conley - CB - Ohio State
- Indianapolis Colts - Ryan Ramczyk - OT - Wisconsin
- Baltimore Ravens - Mike Williams - WR - Syracuse
- Washington Redskins - Jabrill Peppers - DB - Michigan
- Tennessee Titans - John Ross - WR - Washington
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Cam Robinson - OT - Alabama
- Denver Broncos - Garett Bolles - OT - Utah
- Detroit Lions - Haason Reddick - DE - Temple
- Miami Dolphins - Forrest Lamp - OG - Western Kentucky
- New York Giants - David Njoku - TE - Miami
- Oakland Raiders - Marlon Humphrey - CB - Alabama
- Houston Texans - Taylor Moton - OT - Western Michigan
- Seattle Seahawks - Kevin King - CB - Washington
- Kansas City Chiefs - Dalvin Cook - RB - Florida State
- Dallas Cowboys - Taco Charlton - DE - Michigan
- Green Bay Packers - Christian McCaffrey - RB - Stanford
- Pittsburgh Steelers - Obi Melifonwu - SS - Connecticut
- Atlanta Falcons - TJ Watt - LB - Wisconsin
- New Orleans Saints - Tre'Davious White - CB - LSU
If anyone but Myles Garrett goes number 1 overall, there is something seriously wrong going on.
I'm not entirely convinced that the Cardinals will take a QB at number 13 overall, they really do need to find their QB of the future soon though (as I suspect that this will be Carson Palmer's last season). Mike Williams or Corey Davis would be tough to pass on though if either falls to number 13 (as I also suspect that this will be Larry Fitzgerald's last season). I have heard they are also very high on defenders like Reuben Foster, Marshon Lattimore, Malik Hooker and Jamal Adams (I suspect that none will be around by the time the Cardinals are selecting though). A dark horse name to keep an eye on for the Cardinals is Hasson Reddick, he's flying up the draft boards and the Cardinals would really like to get younger and more athletic on defense.
As a Vikings fan, I'd be remiss if I didn't throw in a pick for them too (even though they don't select until round 2). My thoughts, they will be looking heavily at interior OL, RB's and DT's at this point. Names to keep an eye on include Joe Mixon, Forrest Lamp, Malik McDowell & Caleb Brantley. With the questions about Sharrif Floyd's health, I wouldn't be surprised if Brantley is the pick (if he's available).
