2017 NFL Draft Re-Mock

Walt12 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. Cleveland Browns: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Myles Garrett, DE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Myles Garrett, DE

    This may be the easiest re-mock draft pick I’ve ever made in the 22-year history of this Web site. Patrick Mahomes is the no-brainer No. 1 overall selection, no matter what the quarterback situation of the team happens to be. Cleveland would end up selecting Baker Mayfield 12 months later. Call me crazy, but I think they’d prefer Mahomes!

  2. San Francisco 49ers: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Solomon Thomas, DE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jamal Adams, S

    This pick is more complex than the previous one, but I’m confident that it should be Deshaun Watson. I asked an NFL vice president of personnel what he thought the 49ers would do ahead of the 2017 NFL Draft because I was at a loss, and he thought they should have drafted Patrick Mahomes. That obviously would have been the best choice, but Watson would’ve been a great consolation prize. Watson, of course, is battling numerous sexual assault charges, but the 49ers would have won at least one Super Bowl with Watson at the helm, so I believe they would make this pick in hindsight.

  3. Chicago Bears: T.J. Watt, DE/OLB, Wisconsin
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Mitchell Trubisky, QB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Solomon Thomas, DE

    Recall that the Bears hadn’t yet traded for Khalil Mack when the 2017 NFL Draft occurred. They wouldn’t need to surrender multiple first-round selections for Mack had they just obtained T.J. Watt, who just tied Michael Strahan’s single-season sack record.



  4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Leonard Fournette, RB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Jonathan Allen, DT

    Jacksonville’s defense was awesome in 2017. It carried Blake Bortles to the AFC Championship in what was a near victory over the Patriots. I have to imagine that Myles Garrett’s presence would’ve put the Jaguars over the top in that game.

  5. Tennessee Titans: Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Corey Davis, WR
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Mike Williams, WR

    I thought the Titans should draft Mike Williams. They ended up selecting Corey Davis. The receiver they should have chosen was Cooper Kupp, who nearly broke Calvin Johnson’s single-season receiving yards record in 2021.



  6. New York Jets: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Jamal Adams, S
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Leonard Fournette, RB

    The Jets had severe tackle issues ahead of the 2017 NFL Draft. Their right tackle at that time was someone named Brent Qvale. They could’ve made great use of Ryan Ramczyk, who is arguably the best right tackle in the NFL.

  7. Los Angeles Chargers: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Mike Williams, WR
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Malik Hooker, S

    The Chargers could pick Mike Williams again, but one of the elite cornerbacks from this class would be the better option. Jason Verrett was starting for the Chargers at the time, but he had severe issues staying healthy.

  8. Carolina Panthers: Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Christian McCaffrey, RB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Christian McCaffrey, RB

    The Panthers, at this stage, had recently lost Josh Norman. They struggled to replace him for a while, but they could have done so by drafting a terrific cornerback over an injury-prone running back.



  9. Cincinnati Bengals: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: John Ross, WR
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: John Ross, WR

    That John Ross pick didn’t work out very well, did it? Poaching an exceptional cornerback from an arch rival would have been the better option. Cincinnati could’ve upgraded an aging Pacman Jones with this selection.

  10. Buffalo Bills: George Kittle, TE, Iowa
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Tre’Davious White, CB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Marshon Lattimore, CB

    Can you imagine how lethal Josh Allen would be with George Kittle on top of all the weapons he currently has at his disposal? By the way, it’s remarkable that all the first-round tight ends from this class – O.J. Howard, Evan Engram, David Njoku – never came close to matching Kittle’s production.



  11. New Orleans Saints: Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Marshon Lattimore, CB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Marlon Humphrey, CB

    The Saints came away with some amazing players from this class, with Marshon Lattimore and Ryan Ramczyk being chosen in this re-mock draft already. Alvin Kamara is also part of that group, and I imagine he would be the selection at this juncture.

  12. Cleveland Browns: Carl Lawson, DE/OLB, Auburn
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Jabrill Peppers, S
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Mitchell Trubisky, QB

    The Browns passed on Myles Garrett in favor of Patrick Mahomes atop this re-mock draft. Luckily for them, they could still land a talented edge rusher with their second opening-round choice.

  13. Arizona Cardinals: Budda Baker, S, Washington
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Haason Reddick, LB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Haason Reddick, LB

    The Cardinals stole Budda Baker in the second round of this draft, with Baker becoming one of the best safeties in the NFL. There’s no way he would make it to the second frame of a re-draft, so he would have to be the pick at this spot.

  14. Philadelphia Eagles: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Derek Barnett, DE
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: O.J. Howard, TE

    The Eagles traded for Jay Ajayi during the 2017 season, but they wouldn’t have needed to do that had they picked Dalvin Cook with this choice. I’m sure some would argue for Christian McCaffrey being the pick instead, but McCaffrey hasn’t played much at all the past two seasons.

  15. Indianapolis Colts: Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Malik Hooker, S
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Charles Harris, DE/OLB

    The Colts hadn’t yet acquired Braden Smith, so they were in the market for a right tackle at this time; they had a huge liability there in Joe Haeg.

  16. Baltimore Ravens: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State
    Actual 2017 NFL Draft Pick: Marlon Humphrey, CB
    My 2017 NFL Mock Draft Pick: Cam Robinson, OT

    Baltimore’s receivers at this time were Mike Wallace, first-round bust Breshad Perriman and Michael Campanaro. The Ravens desperately needed help at wideout, and Chris Godwin was the best of the bunch in this class, save for Cooper Kupp.
