2017 NFL two-round mock draft, April 19 edition

Just one week away from the NFL Draft, the picture of where players are going is becoming much clearer with each passing day. The following mock draft features the first two rounds as the 2017 NFL Draft approaches. Check out which players we have going to your favorite teams.

 
1 of 64

1. Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M

Cleveland Browns: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M

While there have been rumors to the contrary, Garrett still looks like the top pick. Hue Jackson is reportedly in Garrett's camp, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealerand Garrett has been the projected top pick for some time now.

 
2 of 64

2. San Francisco 49ers: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State

San Francisco 49ers: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

With Tramaine Brock's release, the 49ers have quite a choice on their hands. Lattimore is a terrific cornerback prospect capable of helping immediately, and the team needs all the help it can get.

 
3 of 64

3. Chicago Bears: Jamal Adams, S, LSU

Chicago Bears: Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Perhaps the most talented player in the draft, Adams almost certainly won't fall out of the top five. He could be the most talented safety in the draft since the 2010 draft that saw Eric Berry and Earl Thomas go in the top 14 picks.

 
4 of 64

4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford

Jacksonville Jaguars: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Thomas could go as high as No. 2 to the 49ers, though he won't fall much further if San Francisco passes on him. The Jaguars are now loaded on defense after an aggressive offseason, but Thomas could help them even more.

 
5 of 64

5. Tennessee Titans: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

Tennessee Titans: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Tennessee addressed safety this offseason but still needs to correct the issues at cornerback. Wide receiver is also a very good possibility with this pick.

 
6 of 64

6. New York Jets: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State

New York Jets: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
Joseph Maiorana / USA Today Sports Images

The Jets should be in the business of taking the best player available, which would be Hooker. Quarterback and running back are also very much on the table.

 
7 of 64

7. Los Angeles Chargers: Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

Los Angeles Chargers: Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
Ivan Pierre Aguirre / USA Today Sports Images

Trubisky could go as high as first overall or slip back as far as the second round. The former would be an overdraft, as would taking him at No. 7, but the Chargers could at least give him much-needed time to develop behind Philip Rivers.

 
8 of 64

8: Carolina Panthers: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

8: Carolina Panthers: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

McCaffrey over Leonard Fournette? While Fournette fits more of what the Panthers have done in the past at running back, McCaffrey is far more versatile and is less of a durability concern.

 
9 of 64

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama

Cincinnati Bengals: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Allen could go as high as No. 2 in the draft, and at one point in the process he was considered a possible No. 1 overall pick. After a great senior season at Alabama, it would be shocking if he fell out of the top 10. He'd be a great fit for Cincinnati this far down the line.

 
10 of 64

10. Buffalo Bills: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Buffalo Bills: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Watson is certainly under consideration as a top three pick, while the Bills have also been connected with all of the first-round quarterback prospects. The transition from Tyrod Taylor to Watson's skill set would be seamless.

 
11 of 64

11. New Orleans Saints: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU

New Orleans Saints: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

New Orleans desperately needs cornerback help, not that we haven't heard this song before. White wouldn't have to travel far from LSU, and he checks all the boxes of a top corner.

 
12 of 64

12. Cleveland Browns: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

Cleveland Browns: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Cleveland seems infatuated with Howard, who could easily go in the top 10 picks. If not, he's a great long-term prospect for a rebuilding team.

 
13 of 64

13. Arizona Cardinals: Patrick Mahomes III, QB, Texas Tech

Arizona Cardinals: Patrick Mahomes III, QB, Texas Tech
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Mahomes' stock has risen as fast as anyone, and he's almost certainly going in the first round. He shows great arm strength and upside after some crazy numbers at Texas Tech.

 
14 of 64

14. Philadelphia Eagles: Kevin King, CB, Washington

Philadelphia Eagles: Kevin King, CB, Washington
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

The Eagles will be in on secondary help, and King is a very capable prospect. Running back help could also be on the table.

 
15 of 64

15. Indianapolis Colts: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Indianapolis Colts: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

This is as far as we can expect Fournette to fall. Christian McCaffrey's stock has continued to rise, while Fournette's stock was stagnant after the combine. Some still consider him a once-in-a-generation runner, but he lacks pass-catching skills and has some injury concerns.

 
16 of 64

16. Baltimore Ravens: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Baltimore Ravens: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Baltimore is in the market for a wideout after losing Steve Smith Sr. While Williams is a completely different type of wideout, he gives Joe Flacco a great deep threat.

 
17 of 64

17. Washington Redskins: Derek Barnett, LB, Tennessee

Washington Redskins: Derek Barnett, LB, Tennessee
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Washington could be in the market for a running back, but the pass rush is also a high priority. Barnett could go even earlier than this pick.

 
18 of 64

18: Tennessee Titans: John Ross, WR, Washington

18: Tennessee Titans: John Ross, WR, Washington
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The speediest player ever at the combine, Ross has been compared to DeSean Jackson. He's a perfect fit for the Titans' needs.

 
19 of 64

19: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: David Njoku, TE, Miami

19: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: David Njoku, TE, Miami
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Tampa Bay would be well-served looking at another spot with this pick, like the offensive line, but Njoku's upside in an offense that already added DeSean Jackson is huge. If they don't take the gamble, the Bucs would be fine with current tight end Cameron Brate.

 
20 of 64

20. Denver Broncos: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah

Denver Broncos: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah
Russell Isabella / USA Today Sports Images

It's almost a certainty that the Broncos will be taking an offensive tackle in the first round. Bolles could be the guy if he falls this far.

 
21 of 64

21. Detroit Lions: Haason Reddick, LB/DE, Temple

Detroit Lions: Haason Reddick, LB/DE, Temple
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Detroit needs linebacker help beyond Ziggy Ansah, and Reddick is considered one of the top players available. It's possible he goes in the top 10.

 
22 of 64

22. Miami Dolphins: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

Miami Dolphins: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The press on Humphrey has soured since early in the draft process, but he remains among the best cornerback prospects in a very deep class. Miami could afford more depth at the position.

 
23 of 64

23: New York Giants: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

23: New York Giants: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

An incredibly productive college player, Cook would be a huge steal if he falls out of the top 20. The Giants are still very much in the market for a running back after cutting Rashad Jennings.

 
24 of 64

24: Oakland Raiders: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama

24: Oakland Raiders: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama
John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

Oakland is likely to prioritize defensive help early in the draft. Foster is an elite middle linebacker prospect, but there are character concerns after getting kicked out of the combine.

 
25 of 64

25. Houston Texans: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

Houston Texans: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

The Texans desperately need a quarterback, but it's unlikely they'll find one who can take them to the promised land this year. If they can't find a quarterback, they can at least help Tom Savage with a better offensive line.

 
26 of 64

26. Seattle Seahawks: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

Seattle Seahawks: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Seattle offensive line continued to struggle in keeping Russell Wilson upright last season, though the Seahawks do like the potential of their interior. Robinson would be a great value this far down.

 
27 of 64

27. Kansas City Chiefs: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida

Kansas City Chiefs: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Kansas City had a merry-go-round behind Marcus Peters last season, eventually getting solid production from Steven Nelson and Terrance Mitchell. The Chiefs would prefer for Phillip Gaines to get healthy, but that's nothing they can rely on. Wilson would immediately upgrade the spot.

 
28 of 64

28. Dallas Cowboys: Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan

Dallas Cowboys: Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Peppers is the type of upside pick that makes Jerry Jones salivate, and the Cowboys could certainly use the help in the secondary after losing Barry Church.

 
29 of 64

29. Green Bay Packers: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

Green Bay Packers: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Rick Osentoski / USA Today Sports Images

With Clay Matthews in decline, the Packers should be in the market for a pass rusher. Charlton brings big upside, particularly with the timeless Julius Peppers headed back to the Panthers.

 
30 of 64

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Charles Harris, DE, Missouri

Pittsburgh Steelers: Charles Harris, DE, Missouri
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Harris would be a steal this late in the draft. The Steelers had to manufacture pass rush with blitzes last season, but Harris could give them a legit threat behind James Harrison.

 
31 of 64

31. Atlanta Falcons: Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA

Atlanta Falcons: Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Considered an elite pass rushing threat by some, McKinley could be an excellent complement to star pass rusher Vic Beasley. He could easily go in the top 20 picks, however.

 
32 of 64

32. New Orleans Saints: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

New Orleans Saints: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Kevin Jairaj / USA Today Sports Images

Davis could go as high as the top 10, though the wide receiver position is quite deep. New Orleans would find use for him after trading Brandin Cooks to acquire this pick.

 
33 of 64

33. Cleveland Browns: Davis Webb, QB, California

Cleveland Browns: Davis Webb, QB, California
Glenn Andrews / USA Today Sports Images

Could Webb be Cleveland's long-term answer at quarterback? The Browns acquired Brock Osweiler, and 2016 third-round pick Cody Kessler showed some flashes last season. Still, if Cleveland likes a quarterback this year, it's likely to take him with a bevy of extra picks.

 
34 of 64

34. San Francisco 49ers: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame

San Francisco 49ers: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Brian Hoyer clearly isn't San Francisco's long-term signal caller, and the team has been connected for Kizer during the process. After struggling at Notre Dame last season, he's like to fall into the second round.

 
35 of 64

35. Jacksonville Jaguars: Dion Dawkins, OG/OT, Temple

Jacksonville Jaguars: Dion Dawkins, OG/OT, Temple
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

If Jacksonville wants better quarterback play, it must address the offensive line issues. Dawkins has the versatility to help in multiple areas.

 
36 of 64

36. Chicago Bears: T.J. Watt, LB, Wisconsin

Chicago Bears: T.J. Watt, LB, Wisconsin
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Bears could still use plenty of help on defense, and they're likely to priority such a move. If they take Jamal Adams in the first round, as we're projecting, a pass rusher like Watt could be the next priority.

 
37 of 64

37. Los Angeles Rams: Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC

Los Angeles Rams: Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The athletic Jackson could move down the road from USC. His man-to-man coverage skills have been questioned by some, but he has great athleticism and ability as a return man.

 
38 of 64

38: Los Angeles Chargers: Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina

38: Los Angeles Chargers: Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina
John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

The Chargers have Keenan Allen returning from a torn ACL. While a top wideout when healthy, he simply can't be relied on to stay on the field. Jones has great potential after a highly productive college career and Senior Bowl week.

 
39 of 64

39. New York Jets: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA

New York Jets: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Bills have a laundry list of priorities, including the secondary. Moreau fills just one of many holes.

 
40 of 64

40. Carolina Panthers: Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky

Carolina Panthers: Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Panthers would sure like to keep Cam Newton upright more often, and Lamp could be the best interior lineman available in the entire draft.

 
41 of 64

41. Cincinnati Bengals: Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee

Cincinnati Bengals: Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Cincinnati sounds like it's in the market for a running back after Jeremy Hill's decline over the last two seasons. Kamara is more similar to Giovani Bernard, who is returning from a torn ACL, and could become a lead back.

 
42 of 64

42. New Orleans Saints: Jarrad Davis, LB, Tennessee

New Orleans Saints: Jarrad Davis, LB, Tennessee
Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Davis has the ability to be a tackling machine in the NFL if he can stay healthy. The Saints could use about 11 more of those.

 
43 of 64

43. Philadelphia Eagles: Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado

Philadelphia Eagles: Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado
Kirby Lee / USA Today Sports Images

Philadelphia has cornerback high on its priority list, along with running back. It would be quite a statement for the Eagles to take two corners in the first two rounds.

 
44 of 64

44. Buffalo Bills: Obi Melifonwu, S, UConn

Buffalo Bills: Obi Melifonwu, S, UConn
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Melifonwu graded with elite athleticism during the combine, and this could be as far as he falls. The Bills are also in the market for cornerback and wide receiver help.

 
45 of 64

45. Arizona Cardinals: Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan

Arizona Cardinals: Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Arizona is still searching for a No. 2 cornerback behind Patrick Peterson, and the Cardinals lost last year's No. 2, Marcus Cooper, to free agency. Expect them to find one in this corner-deep class.

 
46 of 64

46. Indianapolis Colts: Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana

Indianapolis Colts: Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Colts are in heavy need of better offensive line play. If they don't take a tackle in the first round, they're likely to find help in the second round.

 
47 of 64

47. Baltimore Ravens: Jordan Willis, DE/OLB, Kansas State

Baltimore Ravens: Jordan Willis, DE/OLB, Kansas State
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

The Ravens are looking for a younger pass rusher with Terrell Suggs potentially going into his final season. Willis was a highly productive college player.

 
48 of 64

48: Minnesota Vikings: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State

48: Minnesota Vikings: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State
Mike Carter / USA Today Sports Images

With Sharrif Floyd's football future still very much up in the air, McDowell is on the table for the Vikings. He's arguably the best player at his position in the draft.

 
49 of 64

49: Washington Redskins: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma

49: Washington Redskins: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma
John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

Mixon's character concerns could put him anywhere in the draft. Washington is likely to take a look at running back sometime early in the draft, and Mixon is definitely a first-round talent.

 
50 of 64

50. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Budda Baker, S, Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Budda Baker, S, Washington
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Baker could go as early as the late first round. The Bucs are in the market for secondary help, and he has the talent to help immediately.

 
51 of 64

51. Denver Broncos: Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma

Denver Broncos: Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
Derick E. Hingle / USA Today Sports Images

C.J. Anderson hasn't been able to stay healthy, and the Broncos showed their lack of running back depth last season. It remains to be seen if 2016 draftee Devontae Booker is an NFL player.

 
52 of 64

52. Cleveland Browns: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

Cleveland Browns: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington
Jennifer Buchanan / USA Today Sports Images

Cleveland must continue to build by taking the best player available. Jones could miss all of 2017 with an Achilles injury, but he would have been a first-round pick before the injury.

 
53 of 64

53. Detroit Lions: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

Detroit Lions: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
Gary A. Vasquez / USA Today Sports Images

Smith-Schuster could give Detroit a potential No. 3 receiver immediately, with the upside to develop into a top threat, something the Lions would love in the post-Calvin Johnson era.

 
54 of 64

54. Miami Dolphins: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt

Miami Dolphins: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Miami brought back Kiko Alonso, but his health track record hasn't been great. Cunningham has a highly productive player at Vanderbilt who could succeed Alonso.

 
55 of 64

55. New York Giants: Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss

New York Giants: Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Giants haven't had a viable tight end since Jeremy Shockey, and Engram has blue chip upside as a pass catcher. His blocking, on the other hand, is a work in progress.

 
56 of 64

56. Oakland Raiders: Desmond King, CB/S, Iowa

Oakland Raiders: Desmond King, CB/S, Iowa
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Oakland remains in the market for secondary help, with that part of the defense failing to make the jump that the team expected last season. King is one of many talented secondary players in this deep class.

 
57 of 64

57. Houston Texans: Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami (FL)

Houston Texans: Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami (FL)
Jasen Vinlove / USA Today Sports Images

Even if the Texans fail to add a quarterback in the first round, they'll still be in the market later in the draft. Kaaya was considered a potential No. 1 overall pick at this time last year and could be a better option than Tom Savage by the end of the season.

 
58 of 64

58. Seattle Seahawks: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State

Seattle Seahawks: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State
Gary A. Vasquez / USA Today Sports Images

The Seahawks are excited about the jump Paul Richardson made late last season, but Godwin has the potential to be an even better immediate threat.

 
59 of 64

59. Kansas City Chiefs: Curtis Samuel, WR/RB, Ohio State

Kansas City Chiefs: Curtis Samuel, WR/RB, Ohio State
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Samuel has been connected to the Chiefs and would be a possible fit for a team that is looking for help at both running back and wide receiver. Of course, 2016 draft pick Tyreek Hill has been able to fill the same roles.

 
60 of 64

60. Dallas Cowboys: Carl Lawson, DE/LB, Auburn

Dallas Cowboys: Carl Lawson, DE/LB, Auburn
Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Always in the market for pass rushers, the Cowboys would be able to utilize Lawson immediately.

 
61 of 64

61. Green Bay Packers: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida

Green Bay Packers: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida
Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Tabor's stock has fallen, but he's still likely to be a day two pick. The Packers desperately need cornerback help.

 
62 of 64

62. Pittsburgh Steelers: Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland

Pittsburgh Steelers: Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland
Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Shaheen is this year's draft unicorn with otherworldly upside. With Ladarius Green's football future still in doubt due to concussions, the Steelers could take a chance on Shaheen.

 
63 of 64

63. Atlanta Falcons: Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan

Atlanta Falcons: Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan
Brad Mills / USA Today Sports Images

Atlanta already signed Dontari Poe but could still use more help on the interior to help stop the run. Wormley is highly capable.

 
64 of 64

64. Carolina Panthers: Marcus Maye, S, Florida

Carolina Panthers: Marcus Maye, S, Florida
Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Carolina is still hoping to address the secondary after struggling last season. The team did add veteran Mike Adams, but he's not a long-term answer at age 36.
