2017 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting First Three Rounds before Scouting Combine
By Tyler Brooke
Cameron Sutton. 59. player. 124. . CB. Tennessee
The Chiefs have some talented players in their secondary, but they would be wise to continue adding depth at cornerback. One player that could fit well in Kansas City’s system is Cameron Sutton out of Tennessee.
Sutton has a nice frame at 5-foot-11 and 182 pounds, but will need to keep getting bigger. He showcased some great ball skills, speed and instincts to jump routes during his time with the Volunteers. He’s not very reliable against the run, but Sutton is a solid man coverage cornerback who could be a valuable nickel corner in the Chiefs system.
USC. Adoree Jackson. 60. player. 123. . CB
Fans of Adoree Jackson will probably be flipping out on me because I have the USC star going this late in the second round, but I think Dallas could be a nice fit for the former Trojan. They could use another starter at cornerback, and Jackson could be that guy.
Jackson is arguably one of the best athletes in this class, and it shows on tape. However, what also shows is his propensity to get burned on double moves. He doesn’t have the most impressive size or length, but Jackson has great hips and the ability to be a productive return man for Dallas on special teams. He’s a flashy playmaker who Jerry Jones could fall in love with, especially if he falls to the end of the second round.
