NFL Draft 2017: Latest 1st-Round Order and Mock Draft After Week 16

With the completion of Week 16, just one week separates a majority of the league from seeing their respective seasons end. 

That allows many to put their complete focus on the 2017 NFL draft, which will take place from April 27-29 in Philadelphia. 

For organizations looking for young talent to build around for the future or for contenders looking for that missing piece, the draft provides an abundance of possibilities that free agency or the trade market might not provide. 

With that, here is a look at my latest first-round mock draft, where I have deciphered the order by using the current NFL standings:

Pick	Team	Player	Position	School
1	Cleveland Browns	Myles Garrett	DE	Texas A&M
2	San Francisco 49ers	DeShone Kizer	QB	Notre Dame
3	Chicago Bears	Mitch Trubisky	QB	North Carolina
4	Jacksonville Jaguars	Jonathan Allen	DT	Alabama
5	Tennessee Titans (from Rams)	Jalen Tabor	CB	Florida
6	New York Jets	Leonard Fournette	RB	LSU
7	San Diego Chargers	Mike WIlliams	WR	Clemson
8	Cincinnati Bengals	Derek Barnett	DE	Tennessee
9	Carolina Panthers	Ryan Ramczyk	OT	Wisconsin
10	Cleveland Browns (from Eagles)	Dalvin Cook	RB	Florida State
11	Arizona Cardinals	Cam Robinson	OT	Alabama
12	Buffalo Bills	Jamal Adams	S	LSU
13	Indianapolis Colts	Malik McDowell	DE	Michigan State
14	Philadelphia Eagles (from Vikings)	Marlon Humphrey	CB	Alabama
15	New Orleans Saints	Adoree' Jackson	CB	USC
16	Tennessee Titans	John Ross	WR	Washington
17	Baltimore Ravens	DeMarcus Walker	DE	Florida State
18	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	JuJu Smith-Schuster	WR	USC
19	Denver Broncos	O.J. Howard	TE	Alabama
20	Washington Redskins	Jabrill Peppers	S/LB	Michigan
21	Green Bay Packers	Desmond King	CB	Iowa
22	Miami Dolphins	Charles Harris	DE	Missouri
23	New York Giants	Reuben Foster	LB	Alabama
24	Kansas City Chiefs	Zach Cunningham	LB	Vanderbilt
25	Houston Texans	Roderick Johnson	OT	Florida State
26	Detroit Lions	Marshon Lattimore	CB	Ohio State
27	Seattle Seahawks	Charles Walker	DT	Oklahoma
28	Pittsburgh Steelers	Tim Williams	LB	Alabama
29	Atlanta Falcons	Sidney Jones	CB	Washington
30	Oakland Raiders	Christian McCaffrey	WR/RB	Stanford
31	New England Patriots	Jarrad Davis	LB	Florida
32	Dallas Cowboys	Cordrea Tankersley	CB	Clemson

Myles Garrett Could Go No. 1

Wins by the Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers during Week 16 ensured that the Cleveland Browns are positioned to have the No. 1 pick come April.

It was a productive week for the Browns nonetheless as they also avoided going 0-16 with a 20-17 win over the San Diego Chargers. 

Still, the Browns would have five months to figure out who they will take with the No. 1 overall pick. But it already seems they have a good idea of who they'll select. 

A source "close to the situation" has informed ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Browns have an "astronomical grade" for Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett. 

However, he did add that the organization "is still doing its due diligence in scouting quarterbacks."

Garrett has been one of the best defensive linemen in the country since his freshman year in 2014. 

In just 33 career games, he has put up 31 sacks and 47 tackles for loss. He's exhibited superior strength and athleticism for a defensive lineman, via the SEC:

His presence would be a welcome addition to the Cleveland defensive line. Entering Week 17, the Browns rank dead last in the NFL with 22 sacks while their rushing defense is second-worst, allowing 2,214 yards. 

Only the 49ers have allowed more rushing yards at 2,567. 

While Garrett won't be a complete solution to those problems, drafting him would be a step in the right direction for the Browns. 

His pass-rushing ability would give them a prospective talent who could develop into a feared pass-rusher while his athleticism could help seal off the edge on run plays.
