2017 NFL two-round mock draft, April 26 edition

The NFL Draft finally arrives this week. The much-anticipated three-day event will be full of surprises, but the field has become more clear as we've gotten closer. 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

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Browns continue to debate Garrett vs. quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. It seems unlikely Cleveland would be able to get both players without trading up from No. 12, but Garrett has been the presumed top pick since the start for a reason.

2 of 64

2. 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. If they bypass Lattimore, a quarterback or defensive lineman is a possibility.

3 of 64

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

Ivan Pierre Aguirre / USA Today Sports Images

Trubisky is a possibility to go in any of the top three picks. Despite signing Mike Glennon, the Bears have been rumored to be looking at this year's quarterback crop for a long-term solution. They might even have to trade up to acquire Trubisky.

4 of 64

4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Thomas could go as high as No. 2, considered by most to be the second best pass rusher in the draft behind Myles Garrett. The Jaguars improved their defensive line this winter by signing Calais Campbell, and Thomas would provide another boost. Quarterback is also a possibility for Jacksonville given Blake Bortles' poor play.

5 of 64

5. Tennessee Titans: Jamal Adams, S, LSU

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

While cornerback is probably a bigger need than safety, the Titans could use help at either spot. As for which safety to take, the Adams vs. Malik Hooker debate is a great one, and Tennessee probably can't go wrong with either player.

6 of 64

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

Joseph Maiorana / USA Today Sports Images

If Hooker falls to No. 6, the Jets are likely to pull the trigger. They don't seem to be in the market for a quarterback in the first round despite their pressing need.

7 of 64

7. Los Angeles Chargers: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Allen would make for quite the dynamic duo with 2016 first-round choice Joey Bosa. Their skill sets are complementary, with Bosa showing more ability as a pass rusher while Allen does a better job of plugging up the run.

8 of 64

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. He's a great fit in Carolina.

9 of 64

9. Cincinnati Bengals: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Cincinnati could use younger cornerback help, and the Bengals wouldn't have to venture far to get Conley. A pass rusher or offensive lineman are also strong possibilities, and given the recent accusations against Conley, his stock could easily fall. We have him remaining in the top 10 for now, however.

10 of 64

10. 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

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

New Orleans always needs help at cornerback, and White would be the best player on the board at the position in a very deep class.

12 of 64

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

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Howard's physical tools are impressive, and the Browns have been salivating over him in recent weeks. If they don't trade up for a quarterback, Howard could be the pick.

13 of 64

13. Arizona Cardinals: Charles Harris, DE, Missouri

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Harris' stock has been rising fast despite a subpar final year at Mizzou. Fellow Tiger Markus Golden is quickly becoming one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, while Chandler Jones is already established. Harris would give the team a fierce pass rush that really isn't matched anywhere else.

14 of 64

14. Philadelphia Eagles: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

There's been talk of Philadelphia looking somewhere other than running back, despite the team's need, but Fournette dropping this far would be too good for the Eagles to pass on. Of course, he's not a perfect fit for the offense without great pass-catching ability, but Darren Sproles is still on the team.

15 of 64

15. Indianapolis Colts: Derek Barnett, LB, Tennessee

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Colts are in desperate need of pass rushers and offensive line help. Unfortunately, the offensive line crop is very thin this year, so a linebacker like Barnett could provide better long-term upside.

16 of 64

16. Baltimore Ravens: 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 fits a team with a big arm at quarterback like Joe Flacco's. An offensive tackle is also a possibility with this pick.

17 of 64

17. Washington Redskins: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Reddick's stock has heated up, surpassing Alabama middle linebacker Reuben Foster after he was kicked out of the combine and failed his drug test. He'd be a welcome addition for a Washington defense that has failed to stop the run consistently.

18 of 64

18: Tennessee Titans: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

Kevin Jairaj / USA Today Sports Images

If the Titans don't take a wideout with their first pick of the first round, they'll likely take one 18th overall. Davis has the ability to help Marcus Mariota and company this season.

19 of 64

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

Russell Isabella / USA Today Sports Images

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

21 of 64

21. Detroit Lions: Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Needing help for Ziggy Ansah, McKinley brings big upside for the Lions. They struggled to rush the passer in 2016.

22 of 64

22. Miami Dolphins: Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Lamp could be the best interior lineman available in the entire draft, and the Dolphins would love to continue to build their offensive line even more after Ryan Tannehill and the offense showed progress with Adam Gase.

23 of 64

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

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

An incredibly productive college player, Cook is rumored to potentially fall out of the first round due to health concerns. His production in college at Florida State is undeniable, however, and the Giants are in the market for a running back.

24 of 64

24: Oakland Raiders: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama

John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

Foster is an elite talent, but he got more bad news over the last week when he failed his drug test due to a diluted sample. It wouldn't be a shock if he fell out of the first round.

25 of 64

25. Houston Texans: 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. The question is whether he falls to No. 25, where the Texans have been rumored to be very interested.

26 of 64

26. Seattle Seahawks: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Seattle could still use a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver behind Doug Baldwin, and Williams certainly has the ability. Seattle also has other needs at this spot, like cornerback and offensive line.

27 of 64

27. Kansas City Chiefs: Kevin King, CB, Washington

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

While the Chiefs could be looking at a long-term quarterback, they also have several needs on defense. King has the potential to step as a No. 2 cornerback immediately, joining former Huskies corner Marcus Peters.

28 of 64

28. Dallas Cowboys: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Dallas is desperate for secondary help and will almost certainly address that need in the first round. Safety is as big a need as cornerback after losing several key pieces this offseason.

29 of 64

29. Green Bay Packers: Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Peppers' versatility is a great fit in Green Bay, where he could join Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to make a dynamic safety duty and also play some linebacker. Like Foster, Peppers also had a diluted drug test sample, so he could fall, especially since he's draft spot has been debated from the jump. Still, he was a big playmaker at Michigan, and Green Bay is desperate for secondary help.

30 of 64

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: 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. Pittsburgh used its first-round pick on Artie Burns last season. While adding a pass rusher is a bigger need, the possibility of adding Humphrey could be tempting to solidify the position.

31 of 64

31. Atlanta Falcons: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

Rick Osentoski / USA Today Sports Images

The Falcons have developed an elite pass rusher in Vic Beasley, but he could certainly use some help. Charlton could help this season with Dwight Freeney's departure.

32 of 64

32. New Orleans Saints: Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Jackson is a fit for a Saints team that values athleticism. He can help as a cornerback as well as a returner, and the Saints have desperately needed cornerback help. Adding two new secondary members in the first round isn't a long shot.

33 of 64

33. Cleveland Browns: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

If the Browns miss out on Mitchell Trubisky in the first round, Kizer is one possibility. He talked up his game last week but isn't considered ready to help in 2017.

34 of 64

34. San Francisco 49ers: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

San Francisco still has a staple left tackle in Joe Staley, but the Niners could still use significant offensive line help. Robinson is a possibility if he falls out of the first round.

35 of 64

35. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

While the Jaguars acquired Branden Albert for help at left tackle, his contract situation could complicate matters. Ramczyk could also challenge Jermey Parnell, who struggled to pass block at right tackle last season.

36 of 64

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

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Bears need help in their pass rush, where Watt excels. J.J.'s younger brother is considered to have a high floor.

37 of 64

37. Los Angeles Rams: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

The Rams are expected to retain Trumaine Johnson, but that doesn't mean they'll avoid more help at cornerback. E.J. Gaines has fallen since his rookie season, and new acquisition Kayvon Webster isn't a great option as a starter.

38 of 64

38: Los Angeles Chargers: Davis Webb, QB, California

Glenn Andrews / USA Today Sports Images

A possible long-term replacement for Philip Rivers, Webb is a similar pocket passer. He will need time to develop, so this is a perfect destination.

39 of 64

39. New York Jets: Jarrad Davis, LB, Tennessee

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

New York should take the best player available, and Davis certainly has the ability to help soon. The Jets need help everywhere.

40 of 64

40. Carolina Panthers: Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado

Kirby Lee / USA Today Sports Images

Carolina installed young corners last season after the loss of Josh Norman, and they were consistently picked on. Awuzie would be able to make a relatively thin secondary much deeper.

41 of 64

41. 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: Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina

John David Mercer / USA Today Sports Images

Jones was a top performer in college and at the Senior Bowl. After losing Brandin Cooks, the Saints could be very intrigued by his ability.

43 of 64

43. Philadelphia Eagles: Obi Melifonwu, S, UConn

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Melifonwu is a possible first-round pick, showing the physical tools to be a star. The Eagles remain in the market for secondary help.

44 of 64

44. Buffalo Bills: Desmond King, CB/S, Iowa

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Buffalo still needs to a find a replacement for Stephon Gilmore. King is probably a better fit as a safety, but he's capable of helping at cornerback.

45 of 64

45. Arizona Cardinals: Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Off-field concerns will probably drop what was likely a first-round pick in Lewis. He's a good fit behind Patrick Peterson, as the Cardinals desperately need cornerback help.

46 of 64

46. Indianapolis Colts: Dion Dawkins, OG/OT, Temple

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

If the Colts opt for a pass rusher in the first round, it's likely they'll turn to offensive line help in the second round. Dawkins' versatility makes him an attractive player for Indy.

47 of 64

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

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Baltimore needs to find younger pass rushers with Terrell Suggs nearing retirement. Willis is considered a safe play but probably not an NFL star.

48 of 64

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, but reports of his interviews have been less than stellar.

49 of 64

49: Washington Redskins: Budda Baker, S, Washington

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Baker has plenty of ability, and Washington is still very much in the market for defensive help at all three levels. Josh Norman definitely could use help in the secondary.

50 of 64

50. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Carl Lawson, DE/LB, Auburn

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Tampa Bay has plenty of building blocks on defense and showed great improvement after Mike Smith was hired last year. Lawson adds potential as an edge rusher.

51 of 64

51. Denver Broncos: Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Denver has been searching for a tight end since Julius Thomas left. Engram lacks blocking ability but could be the answer for Denver.

52 of 64

52. Cleveland Browns: Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Adding Myles Garrett would address the pass rush. The Browns also need to add more ability at the second level to stop the run. Cunningham was highly productive at Vandy and should be plugged in immediately next to Jamie Collins.

53 of 64

53. Detroit Lions: Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma

Derick E. Hingle / USA Today Sports Images

The Lions have running back options, but none of them have clear starter ability heading into 2017. A thunder and lightning duo of Ameer Abdullah and Perine would be intriguing.

54 of 64

54. Miami Dolphins: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Miami needs more youth at cornerback. Tabor's stock fell sharply due to poor combine numbers, but he showed good ability at Florida.

55 of 64

55. New York Giants: Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee

Christopher Hanewinckel / USA Today Sports Images

Few players have seen their stock skyrocket as quickly as Dobbs in recent weeks. Dobbs was inconsistent at Tennessee, but he would have time to develop in New York behind Eli Manning.

56 of 64

56. Oakland Raiders: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State

Gary A. Vasquez / USA Today Sports Images

Oakland really needs a No. 3 wideout threat behind Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Godwin has the deep speed to make the developing Oakland offense even better.

57 of 64

57. Houston Texans: Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Houston needs help at tackle. If the team is able to land a quarterback the first round, it's likely the Texans will turn to the offensive line in the following round. While this year's class is very thin, particularly at tackle, Moton has shown ability to help.

58 of 64

58. Seattle Seahawks: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington

Jennifer Buchanan / USA Today Sports Images

Jones is in for a development year after tearing his Achilles. Seattle could take a shot as it tries to develop more young players in the secondary, especially following the injury to Earl Thomas and the now more dormant trade rumors surrounding Richard Sherman.

59 of 64

59. Kansas City Chiefs: Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan

Brad Mills / USA Today Sports Images

After releasing Jaye Howard this week, the Chiefs are heavily in the market for defensive line help again. Wormley has the ability to figure into their rotation immediately.

60 of 64

60. Dallas Cowboys: Marcus Maye, S, Florida

Kim Klement / USA Today Sports Images

Dallas needs to add multiple defensive backs in this draft. Maye could step in as a starter in 2017 for the team.

61 of 64

61. Green Bay Packers: Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana

Brian Spurlock / USA Today Sports Images

Green Bay is heavily in the market for a guard after losing T.J. Lang in free agency. Feeney is a possible plug-and-play for this season.

62 of 64

62. Pittsburgh Steelers: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

Gary A. Vasquez / USA Today Sports Images

Martavis Bryant's status will figure heavily into Pittsburgh's priorities, and while he's been conditionally reinstated, another slipup could derail his career. If they aren't optimistic about his long-term availability, Smith-Schuster is a possibility to help the team.

63 of 64

63. Atlanta Falcons: Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland

Trevor Ruszkowski / USA Today Sports Images

Atlanta hasn't had a great tight end option since Tony Gonzalez retired. Shaheen has faced limited competition in college, but he shows huge upside for a second-day pick.

64 of 64

64. Carolina Panthers: Dorian Johnson, OG, Pittsburgh

Charles LeClaire / USA Today Sports Images

Adding offensive line help will be important for the Panthers, particularly after Cam Newton was consistently knocked down last year. Johnson could help protect Newton — and possibly a new running back draftee — in 2017.
