Top 15 Misses of First Three Rounds in 2017 NFL Draft
Nazair Jones. 14. player. 36. . Defensive Tackle. UNC Tar Heels
Between the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears, the 2017 NFL Draft was a perplexing at best for some fanbases. The Seahawks traded out of the first round twice to get three additional picks, but what they got for those picks makes you wonder.
North Carolina Tar Heels defensive tackle Nazair Jones was an early draft pick who could have been picked later on in the draft, but the Seahawks took their chance, drafting him 102nd overall in the third round.
Jones was a third-team All-ACC selection in 2016 with the Tar Heels after recording 70 tackles (32 solo, 38 assisted), 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He set career-highs in tackles and tackles for loss, but how will it translate to the next level?
Most scouts predicted he’d go to a 3-4 system, but the Seahawks play a 4-3 scheme. He could still fit at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds but he’ll need to develop right away.
