2017 NFL Mock Draft, Feb. 17 edition

Draft stocks have been fluid recently following the Senior Bowl, and with the NFL Combine just around the corner, you'll hear about even more players helping or hurting their cause. With the draft just over two months away, here's what's shaping up for the 2017 NFL Draft.

1 of 32

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

Garrett has tried to be civil about his feelings of playing for the Browns. Ultimately, it won't be his decision, and he's clearly the most talented player on the draft board.

2. San Francisco 49ers: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Watson's draft stock has been up and down over the last year, but his performance in the College Football Playoff final likely made him some serious cash. If the top teams in the draft aren't impressed, a trade is very possible to make Watson a top five pick.

3 of 32

3. Chicago Bears: Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

James Guillory / USA Today Sports Images

Trubisky isn't seen as a ready prospect given his limited starts in college, but the projection does make him attractive in a weak quarterback class. The Bears have been mentioned in the Tony Romo sweepstakes, but that wouldn't stop them from taking a quarterback early in the draft.

4 of 32

4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama

John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

The Jags have added some serious defensive talent in the draft in recent seasons. While defensive end isn't their biggest need, Allen's talent could override their immediate needs.

5 of 32

5. Tennessee Titans: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU

Brett Rojo / USA Today Sports Images

Fixing the secondary is one of Tennessee's priorities this offseason, with a pass defense that ranked among the worst in the NFL last season by almost any metric. White's stock has been rising, and he's certainly capable of helping soon.

6 of 32

6. New York Jets: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State

Jeff Hanisch / USA Today Sports Images

Darrelle Revis was likely on the outs even before his recent legal issues. It would be surprising if the Jets didn't spend a high pick on a cornerback, and Lattimore fits the bill as perhaps the highest upside corner available.

7 of 32

7. Los Angeles Chargers: Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama

Mark J. Rebilas / USA Today Sports Images

Foster's stock has been up and down over the last few months, but that says as much about the total draft pool and various team needs as it does Foster. He's one of the best inside linebackers available in recent memory and will make someone happy.

8 of 32

8. Carolina Panthers: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Brett Rojo / USA Today Sports Images

There are no certainties in the draft, but Carolina taking a running back at some point is almost a sure thing. With the eighth pick, the Panthers will be able to take a game changer, a definition that Fournette fits.

9 of 32

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

Kyle Terada / USA Today Sports Images

Cincinnati's cornerback play has been falling off recently, and Pacman Jones' career with the Bengals could be over. The team could add another Jones at cornerback, one whose stock has been rising.

10 of 32

10. Buffalo Bills: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

The 10th pick could be far for Williams to fall but certainly not impossible. While the Bills will likely prioritize adding defensive talent after the hiring of head coach Sean McDermott, adding a top weapon to pair with Sammy Watkins wouldn't be shocking. Like Watkins, Williams is an alumnus of Clemson.

11 of 32

11. New Orleans Saints: Jamal Adams, S, LSU

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Defensive help is a necessity again this year for New Orleans, particularly in the secondary. Cornerback is a bigger need than safety, but pairing Adams with Kenny Vaccaro for the long term could be difficult to pass up. He had only one interception last season but was a tackling machine who is well-regarded in coverage.

12 of 32

12. Cleveland Browns: Jabrill Peppers, DB/LB, Michigan

Reese Strickland / USA Today Sports Images

The Browns would be well-advised to take the best player available for much of the draft given their bevy of needs. Peppers' NFL role remains to be seen, but he would fit as the best football player after putting his name in the Heisman race last season.

13 of 32

13. Arizona Cardinals: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

The Cardinals struggled to find a viable cornerback behind Patrick Peterson last season, so taking a corner in the first round this year is a good possibility. The young Humphrey has the size and ball skills to be a shutdown corner.

14 of 32

14. Philadelphia Eagles: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

Logan Bowles / USA Today Sports Images

Taking Cook at this point in the draft would be a steal for the Eagles. He has the versatility to play as a runner and receiver, and head coach Doug Pederson showed he knew how to take advantage of those skills with Jamaal Charles in K.C.

15 of 32

15. Indianapolis Colts: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

Mark J. Rebilas / USA Today Sports Images

New Colts GM Chris Ballard has quite a track record in the draft between the Bears and Chiefs. He must improve Andrew Luck's protection immediately, and Robinson is clearly the best lineman on the board.

16 of 32

16. Baltimore Ravens: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford

Kyle Terada / USA Today Sports Images

A big and versatile defensive lineman, Thomas would give the Ravens some youth in an area they desperately need. Getting a young pass rusher into the system now would be a good idea with Terrell Suggs able to teach the youngster before he retires.

17 of 32

17. Washington Redskins: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

Kevin Jairaj / USA Today Sports Images

This would make first-round wide receivers in consecutive years for Washington, which would make sense with DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon potentially leaving. Davis has nice size at 6-3, and he was highly productive in his senior season with 97 receptions for 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns.

18 of 32

18. Tennessee Titans: John Ross, WR, Washington

Kyle Terada / USA Today Sports Images

Injuries, including shoulder surgery this offseason, could drop Ross to the second round of the draft. His speed should still be intriguing for a wide receiver-needy team like the Titans, and he was highly productive last season with 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns.

19 of 32

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State

Joseph Maiorana / USA Today Sports Images

The Bucs will likely continue to focus on defense in the draft with their offense looking well on its way. Hooker was an absolute playmaker in his sophomore season for the Buckeyes, finishing with seven interceptions.

20 of 32

20. Denver Broncos: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

Tim Heitman / USA Today Sports Images

Finding offensive line help, particularly at tackle, will be a high priority for John Elway and the Broncos. Whether they address that position in free agency or the draft remains to be seen, but if they opt to do so in the draft, Ramczyk is the pick.

21 of 32

21. Detroit Lions: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah

Russell Isabella / USA Today Sports Images

With right tackle Riley Reiff likely to leave in free agency, the Lions could have a major void that they need to fill. Bolles would be a strong addition for the Lions.

22 of 32

22. Miami Dolphins: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

Glenn Andrews / USA Today Sports Images

Tight end wasn't a high-performing position for the Dolphins last season, but Howard could change things. The highly productive tight end out of Alabama has been a first-round pick in the making for the last two years.

23 of 32

23. New York Giants: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

Rick Osentoski / USA Today Sports Images

With the potential loss of Jason Pierre-Paul, the Giants could could be a fit for what's a strong class of defensive ends. The team is also heavily in the market for a new running back.

24 of 32

24. Oakland Raiders: Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

While Davis missed time to injury in his senior season, he was highly productive when on the field. Oakland could still use some major linebacker help after showing a leaky defense at times last year.

25 of 32

25. Houston Texans: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech

Reese Strickland / USA Today Sports Images

It's become apparent that Brock Osweiler isn't the future in Houston, yet the Texans can't afford to do much else this season. Mahomes provides a potential out as their long-term quarterback, as he's been one of the most productive college quarterbacks in recent memory.

26 of 32

26. Seattle Seahawks: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

Casey Sapio / USA Today Sports Images

Between injuries and his 3.2 yards per carry last season, the Seahawks shouldn't be married to Thomas Rawls. McCaffrey is a very different back than Rawls and Marshawn Lynch, but his versatility could be a great complement for the offense and Russell Wilson.

27 of 32

27. Kansas City Chiefs: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas

Brendan Maloney / USA Today Sports Images

If the Chiefs decide to bring back Jamaal Charles on a restructured contract, it seems unlikely that they would draft a running back. If not, the position is in play, and Foreman's breakaway speed would be an excellent change of pace to Spencer Ware's power game.

28 of 32

28. Dallas Cowboys: Takkarist McKinley, DE, UCLA

Mark J. Rebilas / USA Today Sports Images

Jerry Jones has never met a pass rusher he didn't love, and McKinley would deserve a long look if he drops this far in the draft. He had 10 sacks for the Bruins last season.

29 of 32

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

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Green Bay is in desperate need of cornerback help given the team's performance at the position last season, particularly after cutting Sam Shields. Tabor is one of the most high-profile names and would represent a good value this late in the first round.

30 of 32

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Charles Harris, DE/OLB, Missouri

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Harris's subpar junior season is the only thing keeping him out of the first half of the first round. He has the pass-rushing skills to be a star but struggled to adjust to a new defensive system last year. With James Harrison aging, Harris would be a great fit in Pittsburgh.

31 of 32

31. Atlanta Falcons: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Wilson is another potential Gators cornerback to go in the first round and could very well go ahead of his teammate, Teez Tabor. Atlanta can use more cornerback depth, even with Desmond Trufant returning following injury. 

32 of 32

32. New England Patriots: Raekwon McMillan, ILB, Ohio State

Greg Bartram / USA Today Sports Images

With Dont'a Hightower's pending free agency, McMillan is a solid fit for the Patriots. The team has proved it can manufacture a pass rush after ridding itself of Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins over the last year, but Hightower's loss would be quite significant for the run defense.
