2017 NFL Trade Mock: Picks 1-16


  1. Philadelphia Eagles: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple
    The Eagles moved down a few spots and are able to address a big need with a talented player. Mychal Kendricks didn’t take to the new defense last year, while Nigel Bradham will be a free agent next spring. A linebacker can’t be discounted in the first round.

  2. Tennessee Titans: John Ross, WR, Washington
    The Titans tried to acquire a receiver in some fashion this offseason, but failed to do so for the most part (Eric Weems doesn’t count.) They want to find a weapon for Marcus Mariota, so this selection could be used on an offensive play-maker.



  3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Christian McCaffrey, RB/WR, Stanford
    I moved Christian McCaffrey to the second round of my 2017 NFL Mock Draft because I figured some teams might be down on him after he skipped the historic Sun Bowl, but based on conversations I had in Houston, I’m putting him back into the opening frame. The Buccaneers make a lot of sense, as they desperately need a running back, and their current regime loves players who are very passionate about football. McCaffrey, who predictably blew up the combine, fits that description.

  4. Cleveland Browns: Adoree Jackson, CB/KR, USC
    Is it time for a quarterback yet? Perhaps. But the Browns could also move up from No. 33 to select one. It’s a bit riskier, but given that the signal-callers in this class are underwhelming, taking a better prospect at another position could be the favorable solution.

  5. Seattle Seahawks: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah
    *** Trade 8: Seahawks trade No. 26, third-round pick (No. 102) to Lions for No. 21. ***

    The Seahawks are desperate for offensive line help, and Garett Bolles is the only one of the three first-round tackles who fits what they’re looking for. Bolles would be an enormous help for Russell Wilson, who too frequently runs around like a chicken with its head cut off.



  6. Houston Texans: Pat Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
    *** Trade 9: Texans trade No. 26, fourth-round pick (No. 130) to Dolphins for No. 22. ***

    The Texans are never shy about moving up to select a prospect they want. That could be the final remaining tackle, or it could be Pat Mahomes, who seems like the favorite with Tony Romo retiring.

  7. New York Giants: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
    The Giants have shown interest in Zach Cunningham. He may not make it to them in the real draft, but he does in this trade mock. New York has endured issues at linebacker for years, but that would change with Cunningham on the roster.

  8. Oakland Raiders: Kevin King, CB, Washington
    The Raiders are expected to address their defense with this pick. They’ve been rumored to like Kevin King, who makes a lot of sense here.



  9. Miami Dolphins: Forrest Lamp, G/C, Western Kentucky
    The Dolphins are expected to add a young edge rusher or find a guard. Forrest Lamp is a strong option, as he would replace the hole vacated by Laremy Tunsil moving to tackle.

  10. Detroit Lions: T.J. Watt, DE/OLB, Wisconsin
    T.J. Watt is reportedly rising up boards, and he is the sort of prospect Bob Quinn has drafted thus far. The Lions need help all over their defense, including at defensive end. A dynamic pass-rusher is needed across from Ziggy Ansah, who, by the way, will be an impending free agent after this year.



  11. Kansas City Chiefs: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
    The Chiefs had some strong play from Terrance Mitchell at the end of this past season, but I don’t know if they can count on that very much. A first-round pick could be used on a cornerback, especially when considering that the talented second-round corner prospects may not make it to the end of that round.

  12. Dallas Cowboys: Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA
    The Cowboys are expected to address either their pass rush or secondary with the No. 28 overall pick unless an explosive play-maker drops to them. It could be argued that Corey Davis fits that profile, but some teams labeled him as a late first-/early second-round prospect. Thus, Dallas may not see him as a huge steal.



  13. Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
    *** Trade 10: Browns trade No. 33, fourth-round pick (No. 121, via Colts) to Packers for No. 29. ***

    The Browns finally get their quarterback. I don’t think Deshaun Watson is a good fit for Hue Jackson’s offense, but Jackson could re-design his system to fit Watson’s strengths. Cleveland may think that it needs to move up from No. 33 to leap the Steelers, as Pittsburgh could definitely select a quarterback.

  14. Pittsburgh Steelers: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
    Ben Roethlisberger has hinted at retirement this offseason. Roethlisberger, now 35, will play for the Steelers next season, but how certain can the front office be if that’ll be the case for 2018 and beyond?

  15. Atlanta Falcons: Jordan Willis, DE/OLB, Kansas State
    It was a bit odd to see the Falcons eschew their pass rush in the 2016 NFL Draft, especially when Shaq Lawson dropped to them at No. 17. I’m sure that after seeing their defenders struggle to get to the quarterback – save for Vic Beasley, who has improved – they’ll be desperate for someone who can apply pressure on opposing signal-callers in the 2017 NFL Draft. Jordan Willis has the great athleticism the Falcons often look for in their prospects.

  16. New Orleans Saints: Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut
    Two of the Saints’ early-round picks are expected to be used on a pass-rusher and a cornerback. Here’s an upgrade for the latter position, as Obi Melifonwu can play in the slot and also handle safety duties in the future, or in the event of an injury.

  17. Green Bay Packers: Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan
    The Packers managed to retain one of their free agent edge rushers. While outside linebacker remains a possibility at No. 29, I think Green Bay will focus on finding a talented defensive back instead, which is necessary considering the dire issues the team had at the position last year. Things seem worse for Green Bay’s secondary now that Micah Hyde has joined the Bills. Jabrill Peppers seems like the perfect replacement for Hyde, as he can do everything Hyde did, both on defense and special teams.
