2017 NFL Draft Re-Mock: Round 1 Continued

Walt11 mins
This is a 2017 NFL Draft Re-Mock. I’m going back to 2017 and re-distributing all of the 2017 NFL Draft prospects to all of the teams in the 2017 NFL Draft order. This 2017 NFL Draft Re-Mock is based on how these players have performed in their careers, as well as the needs each team had back in 2017.

  1. Washington Redskins: Jonathan Allen, DE/DT, Alabama
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Jonathan Allen, DT
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Reuben Foster, LB

    Sorry for the boring pick, but I imagine this selection would be the same. Jonathan Allen has been an incredible player for the Redskins, and he’s one of the top prospects remaining.

  2. Tennessee Titans: Marcus Williams, S, Utah
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Adoree Jackson, CB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Adoree Jackson, CB

    Adoree Jackson was the predicted and actual pick, but the Titans also could have used a safety. Marcus Williams and Budda Baker are 1 and 1A as far as the top safeties in this class are concerned.



  3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Trey Hendrickson, DE, Florida Atlantic
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: O.J. Howard, TE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Dalvin Cook, RB

    Back before the Buccaneers rostered Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul, they were relying on the likes of Robert Ayers and William Gholston to get to the quarterback, which was not an effective strategy.

  4. Denver Broncos: Dion Dawkins, G/OT, Temple
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Garett Bolles, OT
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Zach Cunningham, LB

    Garett Bolles would still make sense, but he struggled during the early portion of his career. Dion Dawkins has been the more steady left tackle.

  5. Detroit Lions: Matt Milano, LB, Boston College
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Jarrad Davis, LB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Taco Charlton, DE

    If the Lions wanted a linebacker, they should have gone with Matt Milano. The former Boston College product has been a tremendous force in the middle of Buffalo’s defense the past several years, while Jarrad Davis has been a huge failure.



  6. Miami Dolphins: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Charles Harris, DE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Derek Barnett, DE

    DeVante Parker had done nothing in his first two seasons in his career, so the Dolphins could have been in the market for a receiver with this pick, rather than a failed edge rusher.

  7. New York Giants: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Evan Engram, TE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jarrad Davis, LB

    Here’s the Christian McCaffrey pick. Frankly, I didn’t know what to do with him. McCaffrey is an incredible athlete, but he has barely played the past two seasons. He’s a major injury risk, but then again, so is Saquon Barkley, who was chosen earlier in the first round the following year.

  8. Oakland Raiders: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Gareon Conley, CB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Kevin King, CB

    The Raiders are another team that could end up choosing a running back in the first round during a later draft. They could avoid Josh Jacobs by obtaining the superior Joe Mixon, who was a big part of Cincinnati’s Super Bowl run.



  9. Houston Texans: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Deshaun Watson, QB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Patrick Mahomes, QB

    The Texans missed out on Deshaun Watson, but perhaps they could obtain the offensive line help they should have acquired for Watson.

  10. Seattle Seahawks: Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Malik McDowell, DT
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Garett Bolles, OT

    The Seahawks just lost Marshawn Lynch at this time in history, and they would end up obtaining Rashaad Penny in a later opening frame. Here’s a better running back in this first round.



  11. Kansas City Chiefs: Austin Ekeler, RB, Western Colorado
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Patrick Mahomes, QB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Forrest Lamp, G/C

    The Chiefs were in the market for a running back, as evidenced by their selection of Kareem Hunt later in this draft. Hunt is off the board, but Austin Ekeler is a terrific alternative.

  12. Dallas Cowboys: Shaquill Griffin, CB, Central Florida
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Taco Charlton, DE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: T.J. Watt, DE/OLB

    Nolan Carroll was listed as one of Dallas’ starting cornerbacks at this time. They clearly needed an upgrade. Shaq Griffin has emerged as a stellar cornerback.



  13. Green Bay Packers: Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Kevin King, CB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Joe Mixon, RB

    The Packers ended up with Aaron Jones in a later round, but they would have to pick him at this spot. By the way, it’s incredible how many talented running backs there were in this class. In addition to those re-mocked here already, there’s also Leonard Fournette and James Conner. I believe all of these players comprise an eighth of the NFL’s starting running backs!

  14. Pittsburgh Steelers: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: T.J. Watt, DE/OLB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: DeShone Kizer, QB

    The poor Steelers missed out on T.J. Watt, so they’d have to settle for another linebacker who could get to the quarterback. It took Haason Reddick a while to develop, but he has become an exceptional and versatile linebacker.

  15. Atlanta Falcons: Kenny Golladay, WR, Northern Illinois
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Takk McKinley, DE/OLB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jordan Willis, DE/OLB

    Kenny Golladay is coming off a terrible year with the Giants, but he had played very well for Detroit and would have made a solid No. 2 option for the Falcons across from Julio Jones.

  16. New Orleans Saints: Marcus Maye, S, Florida
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Ryan Ramczyk, OT
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Obi Melifonwu, S

    The Saints ended up with Marcus Williams in this class – yet another terrific player in this outstanding haul – but he’s off the board. New Orleans could settle for the next best safety instead.
