2017 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections after Week 14

Antonio Brown was one of those once-in-a-lifetime MAC talents at wide receiver that picked a smaller school for college and ended up getting drafted and rising the NFL ranks. He’s now considered the best wide receiver in the league and who would have guessed that distinction would go to a graduate of Central Michigan.

Just down the road at Western Michigan resides another elite receiver who might just take over as the league’s best receiver a few years down the line. While that is completely premature, Corey Davis is clearly an NFL talent and he’s been making MAC defenses look silly for the past four years.

This season, the Broncos recorded a 13-0 regular season record and will be playing in the Cotton Bowl against No. 8 Wisconsin. This is a chance for him to prove his first-round worth against an elite Big Ten defense on a national stage.

San Diego might be in the market for a receiver this offseason as Keenan Allen suffered yet another major knee injury at the start of the year and Philip Rivers needs more quality targets to complement him when he’s healthy. Tyrell Williams and Dontrelle Inman have been solid, but they’re not going to contend for No. 1 receiving roles any time soon.

Davis would be a perfect fit for this offense and he’s a bigger target who isn’t afraid to fight for those 50/50 balls. Potentially a red zone monster in the NFL.
