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

Now that Carson Wentz has established himself as the starting quarterback of the future for the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s time for the team to start putting some more weapons around him. They could make a strong first step in that process by drafting Western Michigan’s Corey Davis.

Although Davis comes out of the MAC, the talented receiver prospect is one of the most dominant players at his position. Davis has great size at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds with excellent footwork and route-running ability.

What makes Davis an even bigger threat is what he can do after the catch, with defenders struggling to bring him down. If you give Wentz a weapon like that, his numbers could look a whole lot better in his sophomore season.

There are a handful of holes on the Baltimore Ravens defense, most notably at outside linebacker. Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil aren’t getting any younger, and outside of those two they don’t have a lot of promising talent at the position.

The leading pass rusher in Tennessee history with 33 sacks (breaking Reggie White’s record this past season), Derek Barnett could be a great addition to the Ravens defense. While he’s not a quick-twitch athlete, Barnett is a strong, powerful edge rusher who can bend the edge or use leverage to set the edge and plug rushing lanes.

Barnett is pretty technically sound, but learning from two greats like Dumervil and Suggs could turn him into a potentially elite edge rusher.
