The have a reputation for making impulsive, ultimately terrible decisions when it comes to drafting franchise quarterbacks. For different reasons, Brady Quinn, and didnt work out, and while the team remains in the market for a pa ser, they would be much better off taking Texas A&M pa s rusher Myles Garrett with the first overall pick. There are no sure things in the draft, but Garretts abilities translate to the next level, which we cant say about the lackluster crop of quarterbacks expected to go in the first round. Plus, the
Hector Rondon Jersey Browns have myriad needs and two selections in the top 12, which affords them the opportunity to addre s those needs early in the proceedings. You could make the case -- on paper, anyway -- that the are in worse shape than the Browns. Also with a glaring need at quarterback, San Francisco could decide to pull the trigger on with the No. 2 pick. Partly because with , and on the roster, theyre in need of an upgrade, and partly because newly hired Kyle Shanahan is known for his ability to develop young pa sers. Trubisky comes with more questions than answers, but hes a solid, consistent quarterback, something San Francisco would gladly welcome. And with that, on to our first mock draft of 2017. 1. Cleveland BrownsMyles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M:There isnt a quarterback worthy of the No. 1 pick, so instead of forcing the i sue, the Browns take the freakishly athletic Garrett, who would immediately upgrade Clevelands pa s rush, which last season. 2. San Francisco 49ers Mitch Trubisky, QB, :Kyle Shanahan is the new quarterback whisperer and the 49ers are in desperate need of a quarterback. Trubisky is the best of the bunch in a decidedly le s-than-spectacular cla s. The hope is that Shanahan, who replaces Chip Kelly, can do with Trubisky what he did with during his rookie season in -- and then immediately have Trubisky transition into last season (skipping right over that forgettable 2013 season for RG3 and Shanny). 3. , DL, :Silver lining to being terrible on both sides of the ball: Its hard to go wrong with whoever you select.
Gerrit Cole Jersey And Allen, who can be a disruptive force along the line of scrimmage, would pair nicely with defensive linemen and , two of Chicagos best players a season ago. 4. Jamal Adams, S, LSU:Adams pa ses the eyeball test with flying colors, and nothing changes when you turn on the tape. He might be the safest pick in the draft, and hell join a secondary that includes 2016 first-rounder . 5. (from Los Angeles Rams) , CB, :The Titans wouldve loved Adams, but theyll settle for Lattimore, who wouldnt take long to find his way into the starting lineup and bolster a Tenne see pa s defense that last season. 6. Deshaun Watson, QB, :We feel like weve seen this movie before (hi, ) inasmuch as the Jets took a flier on a physically gifted quarterback who needed a few years to grow into the position. It never happened with Smith, and the Geno era is officially over. Watson is better than Smith at this point, but he shouldnt be rushed onto the field. If the Jets can be patient, Watson could be worth the gamble. 7. Los Angeles , S, Ohio State:The Chargers had a top-10 defense a season ago, and Hooker will make them better.
Houston Astros Custom Jersey Hell complement 2016 first-rounder , who was a terror to block when he finally ended his holdout. Bosa should be even better in 17, which means more opportunities for the secondary -- and Hooker -- to capitalize on turnovers. 8. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU:The Panthers could certainly stand to bolster the offensive line, but the thought of a backfield of and Fournette is an intriguing one, and perhaps too intriguing to pa s up. 9. , LB, Alabama:Foster had offseason shoulder surgery that will force him to mi s the combine, but the best inside linebacker in the draft would be tough to pa s up. In Cincy, Foster would line up alongside . 10. , WR, Clemson:The temptation is to take a quarterback, but the Bills will no doubt be wary after the whole debacle. Instead, adds another wildly talented skill-position player in Williams, who will join and to bolster an offense that finished in 2016.
Anthony Gose Jersey 11. , DE, :Heres all you need to know: 30th, 32nd, 31st -- thats where the Saints defense has finished the past three years. So it stands to reason that they continue to add defensive play-makers early in the draft, which is why Thomas -- who is good against the run and the pa s -- is too good to pa s up here. 12. Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia) , QB, :Hue Jackson was hired in part because of his ability to get the most out of his quarterbacks. Things didnt quite work out in that regard during his first season in Cleveland, but the Browns will never be competitive until they find a franchise quarterback. Robert Griffin III isnt the answer, but hopefully Kizer -- who is raw and will need time -- can be. 13. , WR, :The Cardinals cut bait with , and future Hall of Famer will be 34 next season. Davis, comparable in size to both Floyd and Fitzgerald (6-feet-3, 215 pounds), is an adept route runner and a legit threat once the ball is in his hands. 14. , RB, :Thanks in part to Ryan Grigsons mismanagement, the Colts have many needs, but the dynamic Cook -- who can dazzle as both a runner and a receiver -- could go a long way in alleviating the pre sure quarterback has faced in recent seasons. 15. (from Minnesota) , CB, Washington:Wide receiver makes a ton of sense here, but with Williams and Davis already off the board, the Eagles look to beef up a secondary that had some i sues on what turned out to be a very good defensive group. Nolan Carrolls future in Philly remains up in the air and graded out as the Eagles worst defensive player in 16, according to . 16. , TE, Alabama:Former second-round pick mi sed all but four games with a knee injury in 2016, and go-to tight end has been a big part of Joe Flaccos succe s. Howard has a chance to be a dominant downfield presence, which should make losing Steve Smith slightly
Nolan Ryan Jersey easier. 17. , DL, :McDowell is a natural athlete whose versatility, at 6-5 and 276 pounds, is a bonus. CBSSports.coms Dane Brugler compares him to . Put another way: McDowell has a high ceiling, and he would be a welcome addition to a Redskins D that ranked 25th against the run. 18. Tenne see Titans , WR, Washington:Ro s is only 5-11 and 190 pounds, but what he lacks in height, he makes up for in burst and elusivene s. He had 17 receiving touchdowns last season and is also a threat on special teams, averaging 24.4 yards as a kick returner during his career. 19. , S, Washi
