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

At some point, the Cardinals are going to need to find their future quarterback who will replace Carson Palmer after he retires. While Brad Kaaya might not be the best QB in this class, he’s one of those guys who could develop nicely with a year or two on the sideline.

Kaaya has a really clean throwing motion and puts some nice zip on the ball. My biggest problem with Kaaya is that he seriously struggles with any semblance of pressure, and he doesn’t have the best pocket presence.

However, Kaaya can put some nice touch on the ball and could do well in a vertical offense like Arizona’s. At the very least, he could be a nice backup for the Cardinals to put some pressure on another young QB if the Cardinals decided to find another one in a year or two.

The Ravens keep addressing areas of need in the third round by taking a rangy safety who can cover the field sideline to sideline. Utah’s Marcus Williams fits that mold quite well.

Williams could definitely bulk up at just 6-foot-0 and 195 pounds, but the Utah prospect is an intelligent safety with fluid hips and great range. Because of his skinny frame, Williams isn’t the best tackler, but he doesn’t miss tackles as much as he doesn’t stop ball carriers in their tracks.

Regardless, Williams is the kind of safety that can break up passes or create turnovers, and that’s something that the Ravens need.
