Charlie Campbell’s 2017 NFL Mock Re-Draft: Round Three

Last update: Friday, April 28, 2017.

This is a 2017 NFL Mock Re-Draft of Rounds 2 and 3 for Friday evening’s NFL Draft coverage. With all of the trades that will go down, I don’t expect to get many of these right, but it’s still fun to speculate where the top prospects will go on Day 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft.

(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)


  1. Cleveland Browns: Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU
    The Browns grab a big receiver to go with Corey Coleman and David Njoku.

    Dupre totaled 41 receptions for 593 yards and three touchdowns in 2016, but LSU’s receivers were generally held back by the program’s quarterback play. In 2015, Dupre had 43 receptions for 698 yards and six touchdowns despite poor quarterback play in a ground-based scheme. As a freshman in 2014, he recorded 14 catches for 318 yards for five scores. Dupre (6-2, 196) has a lot of potential and could have produced more if he had played in a passing offense.


  2. San Francisco 49ers: Jalen Tabor, CB, Florida
    The 49ers could use more cornerback talent and have shown interest in Tabor.

    Tabor totaled 33 tackles with four interceptions and six passes broken up in 2016. Because of getting in a fight with a teammate, Tabor was suspended for the 2016 opener, but he covered really well after that and was a ballhawk. As a sophomore, Tabor recorded 40 tackles, 14 passes broken up and four interceptions, two of them being pick-sixes. Tabor did hurt his draft stock with a suspension during his sophomore season as well. He had an excellent freshman season in 2014, totaling 31 tackles with an interception and eight passes broken up that year.

    Some team sources say that Tabor’s best role might be as a big nickel corner in the NFL. The 6-foot, 199-pounder is lacking long speed and can give up plays downfield. He is great underneath with very good instincts, feel and awareness. Sometimes though, he is too much of a gambler. Tabor succeeds when plays are in front of him, but gets in trouble with plays behind or over him. Multiple team sources like other first-round corner prospects more than Tabor, but Tabor still projects to Thursday night.


  3. San Francisco 49ers: Marcus Williams, S, Utah
    The 49ers grab a free safety with Jimmie Ward moving to cornerback.

    Williams had a quality 2016 season with 64 tackles, three passes broken up, five interceptions and two forced fumbles. He put together a tremendous 2015 season for the Utes with five interceptions, five passes broken up and 66 tackles. It was a breakout sophomore season for Williams after he recorded 59 tackles with an interception as a freshman. The 6-foot-1, 202-pounder could use more strength and weight to tackle in the NFL.


  4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Desmond King, FS/CB, Iowa
    The Jaguars could use King in a variety of spots, including as a nickel corner inside of A.J. Bouye and Jalen Ramsey. King also could play some safety and give Jacksonville a third option there as Tashaun Gipson was inconsistent in 2016.

    In 2016, King notched 58 tackles with seven passes broken up, three interceptions and one forced fumble. He also made some good kick and punt returns. King was one of the breakout players of 2015 as he displayed tremendous ball skills with eight interceptions and 13 passes broken up. He also had 72 tackles to go along with good returns on kicks and punts. In 2014, King totaled 64 tackles with five breakups and three interceptions. As a freshman, he had 69 tackles with eight passes batted.

    King (5-10, 206) could have been an early round pick if he had declared for the 2016 NFL Draft. He is an instinctive corner with good ball skills, but running with speed receivers is a weakness for him in the NFL. Some teams might move him to safety, and that could be his best fit in the NFL.




  5. Los Angeles Rams: Taylor Moton, OT/G, Western Michigan
    The Rams could use more offensive line talent to help Todd Gurley and Jared Goff.

    Moton (6-5, 330) was a solid offensive lineman for the Broncos the past few seasons and put together a quality senior year at right tackle. Western Michigan fielded a superb offense with a dynamic aerial attack for a few years, and Moton’s pass protection contributed to that. As a sophomore, Moton played right tackle before moving to right guard as a junior. He has versatile size for the NFL and could be a player who is a valuable competitor at guard or right tackle early in his NFL career.


  6. New York Jets: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
    The Jets could use a cornerback upgrade, and Moreau could be a nice value.

    Moreau (6-0, 202) was one of the stars of the East-West Shrine throughout the week as he impressed teams with his size, physicality, and coverage skills. Moreau is a tough corner who is capable of running the route to prevent separation. As a senior, he totaled 31 tackles with two interceptions and 10 passes broken up.


  7. Los Angeles Chargers: Carlos Watkins, DT/NT, Clemson
    The Chargers could use a nose tackle as they switch to Gus Bradley’s 4-3 system.

    Watkins notched 50 tackles with 13.5 for a loss, 10.5 sacks and four passes broken up in 2016. He caused a lot of disruption. To end the season, the senior dominated Ohio State and played well against Alabama. As a junior, Watkins produced a strong season with 34 tackles, 7.5 for a loss, 3.5 sacks, three passes batted and an interception. The 6-foot-3, 312-pounder didn’t record many stats in his prior seasons as he was buried on the depth chart by a lot of good talent at Clemson.




  8. New England Patriots: Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State
    The Patriots traded for Kony Ealy, but they could use a third edge rusher to go with Ealy and Trey Flowers. New England has also shown interest in Rivers, who could play a Jamie Collins-type role in the team’s defense.

    Rivers (6-4, 248) ran fast times at the combine and showed some athleticism. As a senior, he totaled 58 tackles with 19.5 tackles for a loss, 14 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass batted. Rivers showed his pass-rush skills with eight sacks as a junior and 13 as a sophomore.


  9. Cincinnati Bengals: Dawuane Smoot, DE/3-4OLB, Illinois
    The Bengals grab another edge rusher for their defense.

    During the fall, there was a good amount of hype about Smoot as a few ESPN draft analysts projected him among the top-10 prospects for the 2017 NFL Draft. In speaking with multiple NFL teams, they say they initially graded Smoot as a late first-rounder before lowering him into the middle region of Day 2. Smoot totaled 56 tackles and 15 for a loss, five sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass batted in 2016.

    Sources say that Smoot is very athletic and explosive off the edge. However, they feel the 6-foot-2, 255-pounder, despite being strong for his size, is more disruptive than productive, and that could be the case for him in the NFL. They believe Smoot is the kind of player who will place a lot of pressure on the quarterback, but net only a few sacks. Starting across from Jihad Ward in 2015, Smoot had a strong junior season as he totaled eight sacks with 15 tackles for a loss, 40 tackles, two passes batted and three forced fumbles.


  10. Baltimore Ravens: Tim Williams, OLB/DE/3-4OLB, Alabama
    The Ravens could use some more young edge-rushing talent after cutting Elvis Dumervil. They’ve shown interest in the talented, but troubled, Williams.

    In 2016, Williams totaled nine sacks, 16 tackles for a loss, 31 tackles, two forced fumbles and a pass batted. He put steady pressure on the quarterback all season. Sources, however, have told me that they have massive off-the-field concerns with Williams. He failed numerous drug tests at Alabama, and some sources say that he has Randy Gregory-like issues with substance abuse. Multiple teams think Williams could slide, and they won’t take him in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft even though he is a definite first-round talent. It could end up causing him to slide to Day 2 like Gregory.

    The 6-foot-3, 244-pounder came on really strong as a pass-rushing force to close out the 2015 season and help the Crimson Tide win a National Championship. He totaled 10.5 sacks, 12.5 tackles for a loss and 19 tackles on the year. It will be interesting to see if Williams can develop into an every-down defender. There is no doubt that he is a fast edge rusher with a nose for the quarterback.


  11. Buffalo Bills: Dion Dawkins, G/OT, Temple
    Buffalo could use more competition at right tackle.

    The 6-foot-3, 317 pound Dawkins has some fans in the NFL scouting community. They feel that Dawkins has some athleticism and could turn into a good functional blocker. The sources that really like Dawkins have him graded in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft and think he has tackle potential for the NFL. Some other teams have him graded a round or two later and think he would be a better fit at guard in the NFL. Still, Dawkins had a fine senior season to put himself in position to get drafted.


  12. New Orleans Saints: Daeshon Hall, DE/3-4OLB, Texas A&M
    The Saints grab an edge rusher to go across from Cam Jordan.

    In 2016, Hall collected 50 tackles with 13 tackles for a loss, 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass batted. He had some good games for the Aggies, but wasn’t consistent with his pass-rush production. The senior (6-5, 265) was solid against the run, however.

    Hall looked poised to break out in 2015 after picking up an impressive four sacks against Louisville in Week 1. It turned out, however, that the performance was an anomaly, as the junior finished the year with a total of 54 tackles with 12.5 for a loss, seven sacks and two forced fumbles. Despite seeing great pass-rushing opportunities playing across from Myles Garrett, Hall wasn’t consistent.




  13. Arizona Cardinals: Noah Brown, WR, Ohio State
    The Cardinals cut Michael Floyd, John Brown is in the last year of his contract, and Larry Fitzgerald is aging. Thus, Arizona could target some receiver help. Brown has a much better skill set than the numbers illustrate as he played with a running quarterback in a ground based offense.

    In 2016, Brown had just 32 receptions for 402 yards, but there were seven touchdowns among those catches. The 6-foot-2, 222-pounder racked up four scores against Oklahoma and victimized Jordan Thomas. Brown had a lot of talent to break out in 2017, but he decided to enter the 2017 NFL Draft.


  14. Baltimore Ravens: Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy
    The Ravens could grab a right tackle or guard competitor to help protect Joe Flacco.

    Garcia (6-6, 302) flashed a good physical skill set at the Senior Bowl, but some team sources say there are some developmental issues with Garcia that cause them to have him as a mid-rounder. He possesses the size to be a left or right tackle in the NFL. Garcia broke into the starting lineup at left tackle as a redshirt freshman and locked down the spot for the rest of his college career, minus an injury-shortened 2013 season.


  15. Minnesota Vikings: Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo
    The Vikings grab a long-term starting running back.

    Hunt averaged 5.6 yards per carry in 2016 for 1,475 yards with 10 touchdowns. He also made 41 receptions for 403 yards and a touchdown. Hunt (5-10, 208) was excellent at the Senior Bowl, using his speed to slash through the defense. He was very impressive as a receiver out of the backfield, too. Hunt doesn’t have the size to be an every-down back in the NFL, but he could be a dangerous weapon as a complementary back and be an asset in passing situations.


  16. Indianapolis Colts: D’Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
    The Colts could use a running back to eventually replace Frank Gore.

    Foreman was a beast in 2016, rolling over defenders while averaging 6.3 yards per carry for 2,028 yards with 15 touchdowns. He wasn’t much of a receiver with seven receptions for 75 yards, but Foreman is a load as a runner who can run over the opposition. The 6-foot, 233-pounder is a power back for the NFL, and sources have said that Foreman really impressed them in 2016.




  17. Washington Redskins: Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan
    The Redskins grab a slot cover corner to team with Josh Norman and Kendall Fuller.

    If Lewis (5-10, 188) were larger, he would have been a first-round pick. Lewis is a fast, athletic corner who is adept at running the route to prevent separation. In the NFL, however, he is going to struggle with big receivers making receptions over him. Therefore, he could be limited to the slot.

    The senior had 25 tackles with 11 passes broken up and two interceptions during 2016. In 2015, Lewis was a good corner for the Wolverines with a ridiculous 20 passes broken up, two interceptions and 52 tackles. He also averaged 25.2 yards per kick return. As a sophomore, Lewis recorded 39 tackles with two interceptions and six passes broken up.


  18. Denver Broncos: Marlon Mack, RB, South Florida
    The Broncos could use more backfield talent.

    Mack (5-11, 213) ran well for the Bulls in 2016. He averaged 7.1 yards per carry on the year for 1,187 yards with 15 touchdowns, plus snatched 28 receptions for 227 yards. 2016 was Mack’s third straight 1,000-yard season. He had 1,381 yards as a sophomore and 1,041 yards as a freshman. The junior is a sleeper back who could be a nice role player in the NFL.


  19. Tennessee Titans: Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
    The Titans could use multiple receiver upgrades.

    The 6-foot-1, 198-pound Kupp was massively productive during his collegiate career. He combines quickness, toughness, excellent route-running and great hands. The senior totaled 91 receptions for 1,297 yards with 12 touchdowns on the year. He had huge seasons as a junior (114-1,642-19), sophomore (104-1,431-16) and freshman (93-1,691-21). Kupp is a natural football player.


  20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Shelton Gibson, WR, West Virginia
    The Bucs grab a speed receiver to team with Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson.

    Gibson notched 43 receptions for 951 yards and eight touchdowns in 2016. Sources say that Gibson has some real speed to him, but isn’t the biggest of receivers and needs to improve his route-running. That latter point was an issue for the Bears’ 2015 first-round pick, Kevin White, coming out West Virginia because of the Mountaineers’ spread offense. Some sources think Gibson (5-11, 191) should’ve returned for his senior year to improve on that before going pro.




  21. Detroit Lions: Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland
    The Lions could use more tight end talent, and Shaheen is a physical freak. He could pair with Eric Ebron and maybe replace him as the feature tight end in Detroit.

    Sources say that Shaheen (6-6, 278) is a freak athlete who could be one of the mid-round steals in the 2017 NFL Draft. He was a workout warrior, as expected, but team sources say that his tape showed serious receiving ability for the next level. Even though Shaheen is tall and thick, he has freaky speed and athleticism for such a big tight end. Teams think that Shaheen could be a versatile tight end to create mismatches in the passing game.

    Shaheen caught 57 passes for 867 yards with 16 touchdowns in 2016. The previous season, he had 70 receptions for 803 yards and 10 touchdowns. Some team sources even compared Shaheen to Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski.


  22. Minnesota Vikings: Pat Elflein, G/C, Ohio State
    The Vikings grab some offensive line talent, and they’ve shown interest in Elflein.

    Elflein was a solid blocker in 2016 for Ohio State at center. That looks like his best position for the NFL. The 6-foot-3, 303-pounder played well in 2015. He was an excellent run blocker, opening holes for Ezekiel Elliott. Elflein is also reliable in pass protection. As a sophomore, he was a starter at left and right guard while doing a superb job of helping the Buckeyes to feature a powerful rushing attack.


  23. New York Giants: Caleb Brantley, DT/NT, Florida
    The Giants could use an interior defender after losing Johnathan Hankins in free agency. Brantley could be a steal.

    Brantley totaled 31 tackles with 9.5 for a loss, 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 2016. He was very disruptive with his quickness at the point of attack and was superb against Tennessee and Georgia. The 6-foot-3, 307-pounder used his agility to fire through his gap and routinely achieved penetration into the backfield. He is a dangerous interior pass-rusher.

    Brantley flashed a lot of disruption at the point of attack as a redshirt sophomore in 2015. He totaled 29 tackles with 6.5 tackles for a loss and three sacks that season. While 6.5 isn’t a huge sack total, it is a quality number for an interior defender, and Brantley showed the potential to be a three-down defender in the NFL.


  24. Oakland Raiders: Jeremy McNichols, RB, Boise State
    The Raiders were able to add Marshawn Lynch, but he isn’t a long-term answer. Oakland could use a mid-round pick on one of the many excellent values at running back.

    McNichols (5-9, 214) doesn’t have great size, but he was a tough runner for Boise State in 2016. The junior averaged 5.4 yards per carry for 1,709 yards with 23 touchdowns. He also had 37 receptions for 474 yards with four touchdowns. As a sophomore, McNichols averaged 5.6 yards per carry for 1,337 yards with 20 touchdowns. He had 51 catches for 460 yards with six scores. McNichols could at least be a back for the passing game in the NFL.


  25. Houston Texans: Gerald Everett, TE, South Alabama
    Houston badly needs a receiving tight end to help its passing offense. The Texans could trade up for Everett if he slips to the third, much like they did for previous second-day picks like Nick Martin, Bernardrick McKinney and Jaelen Strong.

    Everett notched 43 receptions for 648 yards and four touchdowns in 2016. In 2015, he totaled 41 catches for 575 yards and eight touchdowns. There is a nice buzz about him in the scouting community. Sources say that Everett (6-2, 239) is a dangerous receiving tight end for the NFL.

    Everett is a legitimate receiving tight end prospect for the next level. He started out his career at UAB and played one season there, catching 17 passes for 292 yards and a touchdown. After UAB ended its football program, Everett transferred to South Alabama.


  26. Seattle Seahawks: Ethan Pocic, C/G, LSU
    The Seahawks could grab some interior offensive line help.

    Pocic was generally solid for LSU in 2016. He had some problems with Auburn’s Montravius Adams and Alabama’s defensive front, but he performed well, overall. The senior was effective at opening holes up the middle and reliable in pass blocking. Even if his height is slightly exaggerated, the 6-foot-6, 310-pounder is taller than most interior linemen. Pocic was an excellent blocker for Leonard Fournette in 2015. Pocic broke into the starting lineup as a sophomore.


  27. Buffalo Bills: Duke Riley, OLB/ILB, LSU
    The Bills grab a a fast and physical Will – weakside – linebacker for their switch to a 4-3.

    Riley (6-0, 232) was a backup before coming on as a senior. He had an impressive game against Alabama in 2016 and got better as the year progressed. Riley totaled 93 tackles with nine for a loss, 1.5 sacks, one pass batted and one interception for the season.


  28. Dallas Cowboys: Nazair Jones, DT, North Carolina
    The Cowboys lost Terrell McClain in free agency and could use more interior defensive line talent.

    Jones had a solid 2016 season for the Tar Heels with 70 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, three passes batted and a forced fumble. He is a disruptive defender who can defend the run and put some pressure on the quarterback. The 6-foot-5, 304-pounder played on the inside for North Carolina and has some versatility to man a variety of spots, but his best fit might come as a five-technique 3-4 defensive end.


  29. Green Bay Packers: Ryan Anderson, OLB/3-4OLB, Alabama
    The Packers could use more edge-rushing talent.

    Anderson (6-2, 258) was a clutch performer for Alabama in 2016. He supplied a lot of pass rush off the edge and also did well at setting the edge in run defense. Anderson totaled 61 tackles with 18 for a loss, nine sacks, three passes broken up, one interception and four forced fumbles on the season. In 2015, he put together a strong finish to the season, recording 37 tackles with 11.5 for a loss, six sacks and two forced fumbles on the year.

    Anderson has versatile size and upside to develop. He would fit best as a 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL.


  30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jake Butt, TE, Michigan
    The Steelers could use a receiving tight end for their offense.

    Butt had 46 receptions for 546 yards and four touchdowns in 2016 before suffering some knee tears in his bowl game. He contributed as a freshman (20-235-2) and sophomore (21-211-2), but took his game to another level under head coach Jim Harbaugh in 2015. Butt notched 51 receptions for 654 yards with three touchdowns that season.

    The 6-foot-5, 246-pounder is a good receiver down the seam and uses his size to his advantage. Butt looked very good as a receiver and pass blocker in Harbaugh’s pro-style offense. Butt could stand to get nastier and improve his run blocking; however, he did show progress on that front as a senior.


  31. Seattle Seahawks: Julie’n Davenport, OT, Bucknell
    The Seahawks could use more talent on their offensive line.

    Sources say that Davenport has superb measurements to be a starting left tackle in the NFL. He weighed in at the Senior Bowl at 6-foot-6, 310 pounds and possesses excellent length with 36-inch arms and 10.5-inch hands. Davenport has good athleticism with quick feet and a background in playing basketball. He needs to add a lot of strength, however, as he plays too high and can get pushed around. Davenport also struggles with redirecting and can get bull rushed. He needs some developmental time in the NFL.


  32. New England Patriots: Alex Anzalone, OLB/ILB, Florida
    The Patriots could use more linebacker depth.

    Anzalone was very impressive at times during the 2016 season, racking up 40 tackles with 3.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks and two passes broken up. He barely played in 2015 because of a shoulder injury that led to a medical redshirt. Anzalone was a backup and had injury issues during his first two years as well.

    While sources say that Anzalone is not real twitchy, sudden or explosive, he takes on blocks and uses his hands well. Anzalone is fast in a straight line, but not that quick. He lacks quick twitch change of direction. Anzalone is decent in pass coverage, but lacks good awareness in zone. He is viewed as a third- or fourth-rounder who could develop into a starting inside linebacker; however, there are major durability concerns from repeated injuries in college, so teams could flunk him medically.


  33. Miami Dolphins: Justin Evans, S, Texas A&M
    The Dolphins signed T.J. McDonald and Nate Allen to 1-year contracts, but Allen may not even make the team. Miami could use another long-term safety to pair with Reshad Jones and has shown interest in Evans.

    In 2016, Evans notched 87 tackles with eight passes broken up and four interceptions. The 5-foot-11, 205-pounder created a real buzz with his Week 1 game against UCLA, and there was talk that he could be a first-round pick. In that game, he made eight tackles and two interceptions. Evans totaled 78 tackles with three pass breakups and one interception in 2015. Sources say that Evans has nice feel and awareness. They think he is a good hitter and tackler, but a little tight and more of a strong safety type for the NFL.


  34. Carolina Panthers: Bucky Hodges, TE, Virginia Tech
    The Panthers could use a tight end to pair with, and develop behind, Greg Olsen.

    In 2016, Hodges totaled 48 catches for 691 yards with seven touchdowns. He improved as a junior and could be one of the real value picks in the deep 2017 tight end class. In 2015, Hodges recorded 40 receptions for 530 yards and six scores. He was a redshirt freshman sensation for the Hokies in 2014 and produced the best year ever in terms of receiving production by a freshman tight end at Virginia Tech. The 2014 season saw him haul in 45 catches for 526 yards and six touchdowns.

    Hodges (6-6, 257) needs to improve his blocking for the NFL, but he could be a taller version of a Jordan Reed-type tight end, or and even a Mike Evans-type receiver on the outside.




  35. Philadelphia Eagles: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State
    Philadelphia could use more long-term receiving talent and has shown interest in Godwin.

    Godwin had an electric end to the 2016 season with a tremendous Rose Bowl performance against USC. He made nine catches for 187 yards with two touchdowns – both scores came against Trojans cornerback Adoree’ Jackson. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Godwin is a smooth receiver who has some quickness while not being undersized. The junior totaled 59 receptions for 982 yards with 11 touchdowns in 2016 and decided to skip his senior year on those numbers. After a blazing fast 40 time at the combine, Godwin should end up being a second-day pick.


  36. Tennessee Titans: Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson
    The Titans could use a receiving tight end to pair with Delanie Walker.

    Leggett is a solid tight end who can contribute as a receiver and a runner. The senior notched 46 catches for 736 yards with seven scores in 2016. As a junior, he totaled 40 receptions for 525 yards with eight touchdowns. The 6-foot-6, 258-pounder has the size and athleticism to warrant consideration as a three-down starter.


  37. Denver Broncos: Jonnu Smith, TE, Florida International
    The Broncos could use a receiving tight end for their offense.

    Smith made nationwide news in 2016 by suffering a serious injury off the field. His pregnant girlfriend poured boiling water on him after arguing about him not spending enough time with her. The senior totaled 42 receptions for 506 yards with four touchdowns on the year. He had quality production as a junior (36-397-4), sophomore (61-710-8) and freshman (39-388-2).

    The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder is a quick, athletic receiving tight end to be a potential mismatch weapon. Some sources have Smith grading out as a third- or fourth-round pick. Multiple team sources have compared Smith to being a Charles Clay-type player in the NFL.


  38. Seattle Seahawks: Davon Godchaux, DT/3-4DE, LSU
    The Seahawks could use some interior defensive line disruptors.

    Godchaux caused his share of havoc in the backfield in 2016, demonstrating the skills to be an interior pass-rusher. He had 62 tackles with 6.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for a loss on the year. Godchaux was very disruptive for LSU in 2015. He totaled 41 tackles with nine for a loss, six sacks and a pass broken up on the season.

    The 6-foot-4, 293-pounder is fast and explosive at the point of attack. He has a lot of potential.


  39. New Orleans Saints: ArDarius Stewart, WR, Alabama
    The Saints grab a receiver to help replace Brandin Cooks.

    Stewart (5-11, 204) is a sleeper receiver who could be a nice value pick. He totaled 54 receptions for 864 yards and eight touchdowns as a junior. Stewart is tough recevier with functional speed. Teams are grading Stewart as a late second-round to early third-round pick.




  40. Kansas City Chiefs: Elijah Lee, OLB/ILB, Kansas State
    The Chiefs could use more linebacker depth and a potential replacement for Derrick Johnson. Kansas City has shown interest in Lee.

    In 2016, Lee recorded 110 tackles with 6.5 tackless for a loss, 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and three passes broken up. The junior is a solid tackler with some athleticism. In 2015 as a sophomore, Lee had 80 tackles with three interceptions.

    Lee (6-3, 228) was a surprise early entry into the 2017 NFL Draft. He was not invited to the combine.


  41. Pittsburgh Steelers: Carroll Phillips, OLB/DE/3-4OLB, Illinois
    The Steelers could use an edge rusher, and Phillips could be a steal.

    In 2016, Phillips recorded 56 tackles with 20 tackles for a loss, nine sacks and one forced fumble. Some sources absolutely love Phillips, but others are lukewarm on him. The teams that love Phillips (6-3, 237) say he is super athletic and twitchy. They feel that his speed and athleticism are very similar to Leonard Floyd. Like Floyd at Georgia, Phillips can struggle somewhat on run downs. However, they feel that he is a very gifted, natural pass-rushing talent. They see him as a potential early rounder. As one could expect, the teams that aren’t in love with Phillips don’t see him as a high pick.


  42. Seattle Seahawks: Shaquil Griffin, CB, Central Florida
    The Seahawks could use some more cornerback talent even if they don’t trade Richard Sherman.

    At the combine, Griffin was a star. The 6-foot, 194-pounder illustrated surprising speed with a 4.38-second time in the 40-yard dash. Griffin’s impressive combine could cause teams to take a second look at him and reevaluate where they would take him.

    Sources say that Griffin didn’t play up to his combine speed in college as he was beaten deep and his instincts were off. Thus, they had given him late-round grades. However, his stock is rising after his great combine, and the press-man defenses especially could be interested in him. In 2016, Griffin had impressive production with 50 tackles with 15 passes broken up and four interceptions, which was similar to his junior year totals (50-13-2).


  43. New York Jets: Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
    Given the age and injury history of Matt Forte, the Jets could use another running back.

    Perine (5-11, 233) averaged 5.4 yards per carry in 2016 for 1,060 yards with 12 touchdowns. He had 10 receptions for 106 yards as well. Perine is a physical, tough runner who was banged up in his final season and also split the workload with Joe Mixon. In 2015, Perine averaged 6.0 yards per carry in 2015 for 1,349 yards with 16 touchdowns.
