2017 NFL Draft Mock: Playoff Edition

Updated: January 8, 2017

25. Texans: Mitch Trubisky QB North Carolina

Trubisky is accurate and throws a pretty pass. Has quickness to get out of the backfield when needed. Texans need to find a long term solution to the QB position and Osweiler looked terrible this year.

26. Packers: Takkarist McKinley OLB UCLA

Pack have aging Peppers at OLB and need to start looking at replacements. McKinley has great skills and would be a good fit in the Packers defense.

27. Seahawks: Roderick Johnson OT Florida State

Seahawks need to protect Wilson and Johnson has become one the better OTs in the college ranks the last 2 years. Great feet and gets great leverage on his blocks.

28. Steelers: Evan Engram TE Ole Miss

Engram is a hybrid because he doesn’t block like a TE. What he does do is stretch the field and make it difficult to cover the WRs.

29. Falcons: Carlos Watkins DT Clemson

Falcons defense isn’t their strength, but is has improved and shoring up the run defense would be a great addition to the progress. Watkins has been a key to the Clemson defense stopping the run.

30. Chiefs: Raekwon McMillan ILB Ohio State

Chiefs are a great defense. McMillan would fall to the perfect team in the Chiefs for his style. Great closing speed for a LB.

31. Cowboys: Taco Charlton DE Michigan

Cowboys need better pass rush and Charlton gets great push and has great hands to escape the blockers.

32. Patriots: Christian McCaffrey RB Stanford

This is a Bellichick type of pick. McCaffrey is not your grind it out back but with the Pats he can come in and get the ball in space and be the dynamic athlete he has shown he is in college.
