The 2017 NFL draft will begin in 73 days. The draft order is not completely finalized yet, some tiebreakers and compensatory picks are forthcoming, but this mock draft should represent a fair estimation of what the draft order will be on April 27th.
The predictions below are based on current prospect rankings, positional team needs, scheme fit and traditional front office preferences; and will hopefully provide a realistic idea of the range for the most desirable players. This three round mock draft will be updated once after the NFL combine concludes in early March, and again after the free agency carousel settles down in April.
