2017 NFL Mock Drafts & Top Prospects

Somehow I doubt any WR would prefer tight coverage to being wide open...

 

It's not really tight coverage. The guy is near him but not in position to catch the ball.

WR Corey Davis measured 6-2 7/8 at WMU pro day this morning.

Okay, but to me that's like the flip side of McKelvin in his early years. Always in the WR's pocket, but never able to make a play on the ball. My point was that ability to create separation is maybe #2 in importance to a WR after availability.

Getting open in the primary skill for an NFL WR. I can only put a 1st round value on guys who get open with advanced route running skills (like Davis) or guys with extreme speed (Ross). It's why I went nuts over guys like Amari Cooper, that will always translate from the WR perspective.

 

Then you have to consider the strengths of the quarterback you have and the scheme you run to add context.

 

Players like Mike Williams have a place in the NFL but the lack of sharp breaks and long speed means more targets will be contested, gives you a lower margin for error and a higher potential failure rate.

Mike Williams will have no problem gaining separation in the NFL.

He can win with his body and his releases so he stands a chance to defy timed speed and be successful. Plus the physical battle is always in favour of the WR so he'll probably continue to get away with 50/50 push-offs.

You forgot a 5th round pick.

I assumed drafting Peterman temporarily sucked the universe into an abyss and we skipped the pick.

[thunderingsquid]

LOL, you guys are correct.

Rd 5: *Gotta Be* Chunky Clements DT Illinois

Brain fart, I'm very prone to them after the surgery.

Reminds me of the Frank Clark situation from 2015--same school even.

 

Of course, Clark ended up going at the end of R2, which is where I have Lewis going.

Whaley said its ok as long as he didn't steal from a teammate.

@movethesticks

According to a scout at Clemson today-- Mike Williams ran 4.58 & 4.56

 

@nfldraftscout

Scout at the Clemson pro day just text me that Mike Williams is another Michael Thomas. (That's a compliment)

I think Mike Williams is somewhere between a 15 and 20 pick
