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

The Redskins use a running back by committee approach, but they still don’t have the best running backs out there. Fortunately, there’s a great option in the second round that could fit very well in Washington’s offensive system.

Alvin Kamara didn’t get a ton of carries at Tennessee, but he shined this season for the Volunteers. He has some exceptional balance and keeps his feet moving to pick up yards after contact. He can run, catch passes or stay back and block in pass protection, making him a jack of all trades.

That kind of versatility makes Kamara an excellent option for Washington’s offense that they don’t have to make a workhorse but can play plenty of snaps.

With William Gholston being a free agent and Noah Spence still coming into his own, the Buccaneers could stand to add another disruptive defensive lineman in this draft. Florida State’s DeMarcus Walker could fit that role nicely.

Walker isn’t the fastest or most explosive defensive end, but he does a good job of staying low and using his strength to control the point of attack. When he can’t get to the QB, he does a good job of batting passes down at the line of scrimmage.

Although Walker’s draft stock has taken a hit over this season, he could wind up still being a solid starter on the defensive line for Tampa Bay.
