The 2017 NFL Draft is finally over. Here are the best moments from three days and seven rounds of picks.

The 2017 NFL Draft has come to a close. The Cleveland Browns arguably had the best draft of any team. They’ll take some heat from drafting Florida Gators defensive tackle Caleb Brantley, but they may not keep him. Outside of Brantley, they also drafted defensive end Myles Garrett (Texas A&M), quarterback DeShone Kizer (Notre Dame), tight end David Njoku (Miami) and safety Jabrill Peppers (Michigan).

Other teams who had good drafts are the Minnesota Vikings, the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the San Francisco 49ers, the Tampa Buccaneers and Washington Redskins.

General Manager John Lynch did well in his first stint with the San Francisco 49ers, making a key trade at the beginning of the draft then filled most needs outside of the offensive line.

The Vikings got their successor to running Adrian Peterson in running back Dalvin Cook (Florida State) as well.

Overall, the NFL Draft put a lot of players in good positions. Some teams took a lot of heat for their picks but for the most part, teams filled their needs from a strong draft class.

Some players fell in the draft, others rose while some went undrafted. As we look forward to another NFL season, here’s a look at the best moments from the 2017 NFL Draft.
