The 2017 NFL Draft was full of surprises and some draft day drama. However, Here’s a look at 15 misses in the first two days.

The 2017 NFL Draft got off to an interesting start in Philadelphia Thursday night. There were a lot of wins but also a lot of head-scratching picks made as well.

The Cleveland Browns didn’t pull any fast ones on their fans, drafting Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett with the first overall pick. Three quarterbacks heard their name called in the first round as the Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans all drafted signal-callers. The first round saw a lot of offensive players drafted despite the depth of this year’s defensive class.

National championship winning quarterback Deshaun Watson was taken with the 12th overall pick, interestingly enough, the same spot where former Florida State running back Warrick Dunn was taken in 1997. It was Dunn who helped Watson’s family by helping them build a home through Habitat for Humanity.

The second round took a turn in a different direction. More defensive players heard their names called to the podium. Despite his free-fall, Florida State Seminoles running back Dalvin Cook was finally taken on day two to the  Minnesota Vikings with the 41st overall pick.

While Cook is a great pickup for the Vikings, some other teams made some rather questionable decisions with their picks. Here’s a look at the top 15 misses from the first three rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft.
