The 2017 Mock Draft Thread

[maineman209]

Fanciful on the trades, but intriguing mix of big names falling and unexpected guys going high. Fascinating draft year. I can't quite remember so much volatility.

Interesting. Lots of good Pats-type prospects still left on the board at #64 in that mock.

Give me that top 3 plus Kittle, Mack Hollins and Delano Hill and I'd be very happy. In fact, short of a Basham or Willis falling to 72, would be my perfect draft.

More rounds from Tony Pauline. Guy is definitely a maverick. Interesting to see where he has players. I'm not sure I get all of his rankings, but I do agree that Johnathan Ford is pretty underrated. Still, first pick of the 4th might be a bit high for him.

He also gives the Pats two picks in the 4th ... #131 & #137.

Did a Fanspeak Mock using the Inside The Pylon Big Board. Very pleased with the results.

72 - Tarrell Basham
96 - Julie'n Davenport
131 - George Kittle
163 - Harvey Langi
183 - Delano Hill
200 - Mack Hollins
239 - Jack Tocho

I was torn between Tocho, Bryan Cox and De'Veon Smith for the final pick. Would happily have gone any of the three ways.

You can see who I passed on here if that takes your fancy.

When your binky is on the board, gotta take him.

Patriots seven-round mock draft: Pass-rush gets a lift in third round

I think Perry has been reading this board: Patriots seven-round mock draft: Pass-rush gets a lift in third round

Seems optimistic that those players will be available, but this is a great draft for the most part.

Interesting take on the 3-cone:

The Cohen pick is a little redundant and the McMillan pick is certainly ambitious but I absolutely love the other the picks ( I should because Basham, Davenport and Kittle were my top three picks in my last mock).

That is interesting. TE Michael Roberts is very high on that list. Daeshon Hall at no 14 too.

New NFL.com mock out. Josh Jones in the first round?? Wow. I thought there was a solid chance that he would be around at at 72.

Chad Reuter 6-round mock draft: Browns take Trubisky No. 1

I think he's been a top 40 guy for a while now. Too much size and athleticism.

Chad Reuter 6-round mock draft: Browns take Trubisky No. 1

That's a mixed mock for the Pats. Love the Lawson, Conner and Delano picks. Understand the Langi pick but I'm not really a fan of Hendrickson. Would live with it and understand it to a degree but there are better options like Hollins and Kittle.

Interesting that Davenport and Kpassagnon go with the last two picks of round two. If that means Carl Lawson falls to us in the third, I'm fine with that.

I would've stopped reading after seeing "Browns Take Trubisky No.1"

When I look at mocks, I'm always looking at the prospects the Pats are projected to leave on the board in order to make that selection, and Lawson at #72 over Anderson (to BAL at #74) is kinda interesting.

Langi at #96 followed by Hendrickson at #131 makes three front-7 defenders with the first three picks. Not that they're bad selections, individually, but that's a significantly narrow focus, although it may well turn out to be pretty close to accurate.

Then, at long last, some help for the secondary at #183 after taking an extremely tall OT at #163?

Leaving CB, RB and TE until #200, #239 and the UDFA scrum? Could happen, I suppose. But it means they passed on a lot of talent.

So much for Switzer, Fred Ross, Perine, Conner, etc. in mocks. A rookie RB or WR literally can't make the team (Amendola restructure and Gillislee 2 year deal pending).

At this point I'm going to just do all defense & Chad Kelly late.

I think we could see a couple of OL drafted although I think a iOL is starting to become more likely than a LT type.

Caserio said today they have 50-75 draftable guys on their board. Two things.

1. They probably have as many on Day 4.

2. Our boards could be closer then Id thought. Of course most of my guys are safeties. Oh wait..
