The Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

[Swagnificent]

it's privilege


any mock draft that has josh dobbs getting selected in 2nd round. dobbs better have the GOAT combine for that to happen.

He'll kill the combine. Obviously he'll interview well and score high on the wonderlic. Expect him to run in the low 4.5s and have a vertical leap of around 35 inches. He threw great at the senior bowl. I would expect him to throw well at the combine as well.

His stock will rise. But the Browns already favor him because they worked with him at the senior bowl. And like I said, the owner is a big time booster for the Tennessee football program. He most likely has known Josh Dobbs personally for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already ordered the front office to target Dobbs with an early round pick.

I'm not typically a fan of cacs but McCaffrey is legit. I wouldn't be mad at him going top 10 overall. Plus I would love it if there was a run of RBs early in the first round.

I would love if something like this went down:

Round 1, Pick 6: NY Jets select Leonard Fournette (LSU)
Round 1, Pick 8: Carolina Panthers select Christian McCaffrey (Stanford)
Round 1, Pick 14: Indianapolis Colts select Dalvin Cook (FSU)
Round 1, Pick 16: Baltimore Ravens select Alvin Kamara (Tennessee)

4 RBs in the first 16 picks would be great.

There's not going to be 4 RB's in the first 16 picks. Teams don't value RB's as much anymore. Kamara is good but I doubt he goes top 25.

Packers better draft nothing but defense all 7 rounds. fukk the bullshyt

There a really good chance Williams will be there but it's gonna depend on the combine

I think 13(Zona)and 14(Philly) are probably where he's slotted right now

With a great combine I could see him moving up to possibly the Carolina or Chargers pick

With a disappointing combine I could see him dropping into the 20s

Crazy fact.

The Carolina Panthers played their inaugural season at Clemson's Death Valley....yet Carolina has never drafted a Clemson player.

You a Panthers fan

Yeah... still check for the 49ers too though since they were my first team & I'm a old head that was old enough to remember a time prior to the Panthers and Jags existing.

cut them ties breh. that franchise is hot dog water now. i too was a die hard niner fan in my youth. gave up on em around 2002 and havent looked back.

those where some great times tho in the 90s. i couldnt believe how quick both carolina and jacksonville became so good. i kinda miss the old nfc west with carolina, rams, and falcons.

Today is the day I officially start breaking down whole game film on Myles Garrett.

Not looking too good for the big homie starting off...

He's certainly over hyped as a consensus #1 pick. I'm not seeing it. We'll see what the film says.

Been trying to tell u that all year

I knew his film wasn't the best, but it's worse than what I was expecting.

Pair that with Kizer's film being much better than I thought, hence my flip flop.

You can't argue Myles Garrett's measurables tho, although he sucks so much when nikkas get they hands on him lol. It's bad. We'll see.

2017 NFL Draft: Which running backs raise red flags as potential fumblers?

Vision. Balance. Burst. These are the main traits scouts look for in running backs. But ball security also is crucial for the NFL transition. A high fumble rate for a running backs is worrisome the same way a high interception total is for a quarterbacks because they are expected to touch the ball at least 20-25 times a game.

The average fumble rate for the top-10 rushers in the NFL last season was 108.5, or once for every 108.5 offensive touches.

Two running backs projected in the first round of our most recent mock drafts, Florida State's Dalvin Cook (63.8) and LSU's Leonard Fournette (82.1), posted less-than-ideal career fumble rates. Stanford's Christian McCaffrey, who colleague Rob Rang projects as a first-rounder, has one of the best rates (243.7).

Chicago Bears rookie running back Jordan Howard posted one of the better collegiate fumble rates (111.8) in the 2016 draft class. And that translated for him as a first-year player, fumbling only once over 281 offensive touches.

In the 2015 NFL Draft class, Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah had one of the highest fumble rates in recent memory (35.4). And so far as a pro, ball security has been an issue for him with four fumbles over 191 offensive touches for a 47.8 fumble rate.

Below are the career offensive fumble rates for the top running back prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft class, broken down into five categories:
