Matt Miller's Way-Too-Early Predictions
The 2016 NFL draft is barely behind us, but it's never too early to start talking about next season.
It always seems like the upcoming draft class is projected to be better than the one that just entered the NFL, but that's not the case this year. There isn't currently a slam-dunk quarterback prospect due to size and/or production, and the wide receiver class is looking thin as well.
Running backs and defensive ends are the early strength of the 2017 class if you count juniors Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey, and for this mock draft I am including juniors expected to enter after next season.
Using a projection for 2016 season finishes and updating it for trades, here's mock draft version 1.0 as we look ahead to 2017.
