2017 NFL Mock Draft 5.0: Round 1, Picks 21-32
Picks
1-10 | 11-20 | 21-32
Round 2 | Round 3
21. Detroit Lions - Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
Another corner isn't the biggest need, but the value matches up well. A mediocre Detroit pass defense could take a significant step in the right direction with physical talent like Humphrey stepping in opposite Darrius Slay.
22. Miami Dolphins - Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky
The Dolphins will put off addressing their defensive needs to grab a top offensive line talent while they can. After years of issues up front, Lamp joins 2016 first-rounder Laremy Tunsil in solidifying that all-important unit.
23. New York Giants - Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
New York can't afford to keep struggling up front, and Ereck Flowers clearly isn't the answer at left tackle. Ramczyk, who was dominant in his lone season at Wisconsin, would be an important and instant upgrade.
24. Oakland Raiders - Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida
Linebacker is far and away the most glaring roster need in Oakland. The team hasn't placed much value on the position of late, but it's well past time to do so. Davis would give that defense a true, every-down leader in the middle.
25. Houston Texans - DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
Aside from quarterback, the case can be made that the Texans have a Super Bowl-ready roster. Ending Kizer's slide would be the right move. The Notre Dame product has as much upside as any passer in this class.
26. Seattle Seahawks - Garett Bolles, OT, Utah
The Seahawks can't ignore the offensive line forever, can they? Bolles may need to add strength, but he's a highly athletic and aggressive tackle who would be a perfect fit for the left side in Seattle's zone-blocking scheme.
27. Kansas City Chiefs - Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Kansas City, boasting one of the NFL's most complete rosters, can make a luxury pick for the passing game. Adding the big-bodied Williams across from Tyreek Hill would allow for the ability to attack defenses in a number of ways.
28. Dallas Cowboys - Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut
The Cowboys already have one athletic freak manning the back end. How about two? Melifonwu would take over next to 2015 first-round pick Byron Jones following the free-agent departure of Barry Church.
29. Green Bay Packers - Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
Fixing that secondary should be among the top priorities if Green Bay is expecting to go on another Super Bowl run. White has the profile of a long-term starter at cornerback, and one who could contribute from the slot Day 1.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers - Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado
Awuzie is a versatile defensive back capable of playing either the boundary or slot early in his NFL career. That'd be a welcome addition to a Steelers defense still in search of talent throughout the secondary.
31. Atlanta Falcons - Charles Harris, EDGE, Missouri
A dangerous pass-rush threat opposite Vic Beasley is exactly what Atlanta's defense needs to make another leap next season. Harris, a good athlete who so often wins with his nasty spin move, is just that.
32. New Orleans Saints (via NE) - Takkarist McKinley, EDGE, UCLA
New Orleans can take care of another area of concern on the defensive side with its second first-round pick. McKinley's explosiveness and effort make him a strong fit to complete the Saints' front four.
