Todd McShay’s 2017 NFL Mock Draft 3.0

With such promising talent being observed at the Combine and big names coming out of high profile contracts, the movements of players and teams between April’s draft and Week 1 in September will a fascinating battle between veterans, money and talent. “He led the SEC with 18.5 tackles for loss in 2015 and finished this past season on a tear (5.5 sacks, six quarterback hurries and a forced fumble in his final four games)”. And he did it all while playing multiple positions and helping the Wolverines excel in various facets of play.

NFL Draft and college football analyst Todd McShay said Wednesday during a media teleconference that he believes defensive backs Rudy Ford and Josh Holsey “are a little bit underrated” when it comes to their NFL stock. Washington is moving 2nd year defender Su’a Cravens to safety from the ILB position he played last year. Peppers told reporters he is a safety. He’s a strong safety. C, I honestly think had he played the position, he could be a really good running back and still there could be some value with him on the offensive side of the ball because he’s unsafe with the ball in his hands.

“I think he’ll be healthy and hopefully he can get a couple of the mechanical tweaks that he was working out earlier I thought he had worked out, but he clearly regressed a year ago”. Howard profiles as a big-play threat in the National Football League and an underrated blocker.

Would you be happy with this first round for the Titans? He considered putting former LSU star Leonard Fournette in that spot, but has Howard going fourth overall to the Jaguars, who went 3-13 last season.

Bruce Arians has stayed away from the typical “move” tight ends found in today’s college game, but Howard gives him a true multipurpose player who can block and run.

How fast was N.J.’s Jabrill Peppers’ 40 time? He could easily be one of the first five players off the board, but what if he isn’t? He does not have the size or overall athletic ability of other backs in this class, but his quickness and acceleration are more than enough to make up for that in terms of “creating” offense. However, McShay didn’t see it that way. No tight ends went in the first round of the last two drafts and only two – Eric Ebron in 2014 (No. 10 to Detroit) and Tyler Eifert in 2013 (No. 21 to Cincinnati) – have been selected since 2011.

“His versatility was great, but his versatility worked against him because he never defined a position”, Kiper said.
