2017 NFL Mock Draft: Post-Week 13 Breakdown
The race to the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NFL draft remains unchanged in Week 13, with the Cleveland Browns hanging on to the top spot during their bye week.
The Browns were undoubtedly rooting for the San Francisco 49ers to pick up their second win of the season over the Chicago Bears, but the Bears cruised to victory, allowing the 49ers to stay just one game behind the Browns.
With just four games remaining, it's looking like the Browns will wrap up the top spot. But Cleveland's best chance for a victory may be coming up in Week 14. The Browns will host the Cincinnati Bengals in what could be their final realistic chance at avoiding the 0-16 season.

1. Cleveland Browns: Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

With two first-round selections, this is supposed to be the year the Browns add their franchise quarterback. But Clemson's Deshaun Watson, Miami's Brad Kaaya and Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer—the most highly touted prospects entering the season—have all failed to live up to expectations.
Fortunately for the Browns, North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky, in his first year as the Tar Heels starter, has emerged as a viable top-10 selection.
The biggest knock on Trubisky right now is his lack of experience, having played sparingly as a backup to Marquise Williams prior to the 2016 season. However, Trubisky's experience compares favorably to Carson Wentz, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2016 NFL draft who has put together a solid rookie year with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Wentz, playing against far lesser competition at North Dakota State, completed 392 passes in his college career. Trubisky, entering North Carolina's bowl game, has already completed 363 passes.
Much like with Wentz a season ago, teams won't hold the lack of experience against Trubisky if they believe he has the talent to lock down a starting job in the pros.
6. Tennessee Titans: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Entering the season, there was some debate about the top of the draft board at wide receiver, but that question has definitively been answered.
Clemson's Mike Williams missed almost the entire 2015 season due to a neck injury, which raised questions about his ability to stabilize his draft stock once again. But Williams appeared to be back at 100 percent right out of the gate, and he continued to improve his draft stock with dominant performances throughout the season.
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller recently named Williams his No. 1 receiver in the 2017 draft class.
The Tennessee Titans should be among the teams targeting Williams near the top of the draft.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota has made significant strides this season, but the 23-year-old is still lacking a No. 1 receiver to help elevate his game to the next level.
Tight end Delanie Walker, 32, leads the Titans in receptions this season, followed closely by career backup Rishard Matthews. It's difficult for a young quarterback like Mariota to develop when he isn't supported by elite talent on offense.
At 6'4", 220 pounds, Williams has the size to develop into the No. 1 target Mariota needs.
18. Green Bay Packers: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Giving Aaron Rodgers a potentially dominant running back to work with is a scary thought for the other 31 NFL teams. But the Packers' unexpected struggles this season have made this selection a possibility.
LSU running back Leonard Fournette has appeared in the top 10 in many mock drafts this year, but his lingering ankle injury throughout the season could potentially cause him to slip down a few slots and land in the Packers' lap.
Much has been made of Rodgers' apparent regression the past two seasons, but it's difficult to separate his struggles from the disappearance of the Packers' running game. It's certainly not a coincidence that Rodgers' production began to dip when weight issues cut into Eddie Lacy's productivity during the 2015 season.
Now, without a true workhorse running back in the backfield, it's easier for opposing defenses to game-plan for the Packers offense and put all their attention on slowing down the passing attack.
The Packers have had just one 100-yard day from their running backs this season (Lacy in Week 3). That's a stat that should change dramatically with Fournette carrying the load in 2017 and beyond.
