2017 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting First Three Rounds before Scouting Combine

Even with the emergence of Vic Beasley, the Atlanta Falcons would be smart to keep adding talented pass rushers. There might not be a more logical fit for the Falcons than Missouri’s Charles Harris.

There might not be another edge rusher with more moves than Missouri’s Charles Harris, who keeps offensive linemen guessing when he goes after the QB. He’s more than capable of bending the edge and is technically sound. His athleticism and production in college will make him a very appealing option for head coach Dan Quinn and his defense.

It’s hard to predict what the New England Patriots are going to do with their first-round pick, but they always do a great job of finding value by taking the best player available.

Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers continues to slide down draft boards, but there’s still a lot to like about his game. He’s an elite athlete who can change the course of a game with a single punt or kickoff return. His instincts help him in all three phases of the game, whether that’s offense, defense or special teams.

Critics argue that Peppers won’t be able to specialize at a position in the NFL, but no one would be surprised to see the Michigan star thrive with Bill Belichick and New England’s coaching staff working with him.
