Now that the NFL season is over, everyone is looking forward to the next season. Even sooner, everybody is looking forward to the 2017 NFL Draft. The draft is taking place on Thursday, April 27 at 8:00 PM ET. In this article I will be giving you my predictions for the top 7 picks.

Number 1 (Cleveland Browns): Deshaun Watson (QB)

Deshaun Watson is a QB from Clemson who was a junior. He can analyze the field very well. He will fit very well into the Brown’s play scheme.

Number 2 (San Francisco 49ers): Myles Garrett (DE)

Myles Garrett is a DE from Texas A&M who was a junior. He is a great pass rusher and some people are comparing him to Julius Peppers.

Number 3 (Chicago Bears): Leonard Fournette (RB)

Leonard Fournette is a RB from LSU who was a junior. He is a very good trucking back and when he is in open space he can get away.

Number 4 (Jacksonville Jaguars): Jonathan Allen (DT)

Jonathan Allen is a DT from Alabama who was a senior. He can get to the quarterback and he can stop the run very well. He will fit in very well into Jacksonville’s already improving defense.

Number 5 (Tennessee Titans, from L.A. Rams): Desmond King (CB)

Desmond King is a CB from Iowa who was a senior. He is a great lockdown corner and can also pass rush. He is a great all-around player.

Number 6 (New York Jets): Cam Robinson (OT)

Cam Robinson is an OT from Alabama who was a junior. He can play both LT and RT and he can protect the QB very well.

Number 7 (San Diego Chargers): Jabrill Peppers (LB)

Jabrill Peppers is a LB from Michigan who was a junior. He is technically a LB but he can also play CB or S. He is a great defender and can cover anyone he is put on.
