2017 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting First Three Rounds before Scouting Combine
By Tyler Brooke
16. . WR. Virginia Tech. Isaiah Ford. 75. player
The Bills could lose a number of wide receivers in free agency this offseason, including Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. With that in mind, the Bills could decide to bring in another receiver through the draft.
Virginia Tech’s Isaiah Ford has some excellent footwork and does a great job of creating separation. While he has a slight problem with drops, he can still make some impressive catches, especially on the sideline. Pairing him with Sammy Watkins could give the Bills a nice one-two punch if Woods and Goodwin don’t return.
76. player. 15. . RB. Toledo. Kareem Hunt
Mark Ingram is a solid running back, but his backup Tim Hightower is a free agent and could be heading elsewhere this offseason. The Saints could add a nice change-of-pace back behind Ingram in a draft loaded with talented backs.
During the Senior Bowl, Kareem Hunt out of Toledo impressed a lot of scouts. He’s a downhill, physical runner with good vision and great balance to pick up extra yards. Although he doesn’t have great speed and isn’t particularly elusive, he has a strong upper body and would fit well as a No. 2 running back behind Ingram to give the Saints a different kind of back to work with.
