Tony Mario's 2017 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds
Round 6
Tony Mario Last Updated: April 24, 2017.
Cleveland Browns: Marquez White, CB, Florida State 
- Cleveland has to get a cornerback for depth at some point. Marquez White is my top cornerback available.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Baltimore Ravens: Dan Skipper, RT, Arkansas 
- The Ravens get a right tackle that can replace Ricky Wagner in the sixth round. Skipper dominated against Myles Garrett, but was inconsistent on tape and struggled in the East West Shrine Game.
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: Eric Wilson, MLB, Cincinnati 
- Jacksonville drafts a middle linebacker to develop. Eric Wilson had 106 total tackles in 2015 and 129 total tackles in 2016. Wilson has the versatility to play all 3 linebacker spots and covers well enough to play both safety spots. He can play linebacker or safety in the NFL and is worth a late round flyer here.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: Delano Hill, SS, Michigan
- Cleveland gets another safety to start next to Obi Melifonwu. Delano Hill is more consistent in coverage than Nathan Gerry after watching both on tape.
Previous Pick: Nathan Gerry, FS, Nebraska
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Los Angeles Rams: Blair Brown, 3-4 MLB, Ohio 
- Los Angeles grabs a 3-4 middle linebacker for depth. Blair Brown is a bargain in the sixth round.
Previous Pick: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, MLB, Tennessee
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Travis Rudolph, WR, Florida State
- The Los Angeles Chargers get a wide receiver for depth here. Travis Rudolph provides competition for the Chargers current receivers.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
New York Jets: Tarik Cohen, RB, North Carolina AT&T 
- The New York Jets get a running back for depth here. Tarik Cohen is a steal in the sixth round.
Previous Pick: Jay Guillermo, C, Clemson
- Other New York Jets Selections
Carolina Panthers: Chad Kelly, QB, Ole Miss 
- Carolina drafts a quarterback to challenge Derek Anderson for the backup gig. Chad Kelly had a really high ceiling, but he's also such a huge liability. The Panthers give Kelly one more shot to make their roster under a zero tolerance policy.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA 
- Cincinnati gets a defensive tackle for depth. Eddie Vanderdoes reminds me of Domata Peko when watching his tape.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Philadelphia Eagles: Damarius Travis, FS, Minnesota 
- Philadelphia gets a safety for depth. Damarius Travis is a fine addition at this point.
Previous Pick: Josh Carraway, 3-4 LOLB, TCU
- Other Philadelphia Eagles Selections
Buffalo Bills: George Kittle, TE, Iowa 
- The Bills draft a tight end for depth. George Kittle is a great pick here.
Previous Pick: Michael Roberts, TE, Toledo
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
New Orleans Saints: Xavier Woods, SS, Louisiana Tech 
- New Orleans gets a safety for depth. Xavier Woods can play cornerback or safety with his versatility.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
Arizona Cardinals: T.J. Logan, RB, North Carolina 
- T.J. Logan would make a good running back for depth. The Cardinals will have to take a running back for depth at some point.
Previous Pick: Tarik Cohen, RB, North Carolina AT&T
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP 
- The 49ers go with a running back to compliment Carlos Hyde. Aaron Jones is a nice change of pace running back.
Previous Pick: T.J. Logan, RB, North Carolina
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Storm Norton, RT, Toledo 
- Storm Norton is a nice pick here. He can push T.J. Clemmings for a backup roster spot in Minnesota here.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
New England Patriots: Casey DeAndre, FS, New Hampshire 
- New England gets a safety for depth. Casey DeAndre is versatile enough to play linebacker, cornerback, or safety everywhere in the NFL. This is the kind of player Bill Belichick covets.
Previous Pick: Kai Nacua, FS, BYU
- Other New England Patriots Selections
Washington Redskins: Robert Davis, WR, Georgia State 
- Washington will need a wide receiver at some point in the draft. Robert Davis had an awesome NFL Combine, but drops to this point because he dropped easy passes on tape.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
-
San Francisco 49ers: Ryan Glasgow, DT, Michigan
- The 49ers draft a developmental defensive tackle here. Ryan Glasgow may be a good scheme fit at this point.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Denver Broncos: Hunter Dimick, 3-4 ROLB, Utah 
- Denver grabs a pass rusher here. Hunter Dimick is great off the edge and provides great depth behind Shane Ray and Von Miller.
- Other Denver Broncos Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jonnu Smith, TE, Florida International 
- Tampa Bay goes with a tight end for depth. Jonnu Smith is a local in state player that I can see Tampa Bay rolling the dice on in the late rounds.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Detroit Lions: Eric Saubert, TE, Drake 
- Detroit gets a tight end for depth. Eric Saubert is a steal at this point.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
-
Los Angeles Rams: Kenny Golladay WR, Northern Illinois
- The Rams addressed all of their needs. They can draft another wide receiver like Kenny Golladay to maximize Goff's chances at success here.
Previous Pick: Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
New York Giants: David Jones, FS, Richmond 
- New York gets a safety for depth. David Jones has the versatility to play anywhere on the secondary plus he can play on special teams too.
- Other New York Giants Selections
Oakland Raiders: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, MLB, Tennessee 
- Oakland drafts a middle linebacker here. Jalen Reeves-Maybin can develop into a great starter with the right coaching. People forget this guy had a first round grade before he got injured at the beginning of the year.
Previous Pick: Amba Etta-Tawo, WR, Syracuse
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
-
Washington Redskins: Tyler Stewart, QB, Nevada
- Tyler Stewart would be a great quarterback to groom behind Kirk Cousins. It's hard to see Stewart falling past this pick.
Previous Pick: George Kittle, TE, Iowa
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Conor McDermott, RT, UCLA
- Seattle adds a right tackle for depth. Some will argue that McDermott has enough talent to beat out Ryan Ramczyk out of Wisconsin for the left tackle job. That's a bit of a stretch, but McDermott can certainly compliment Ramczyk well at right tackle. Seattle is going to need multiple offensive tackles now after losing Gilliam.
Previous Pick: Jessamen Dunker, RG, Tennessee State
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Dallas Cowboys: Marquel Lee, MLB, Wake Forest 
- Dallas gets a middle linebacker for depth here. Marquel Lee may win a starting job, and he's certainly skilled enough to play in a depth role at middle linebacker for Dallas.
Previous Pick: Jimmie Gilbert, 3-4 LOLB, Colorado
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
Green Bay Packers: Connor Harris, 3-4 MLB, Lindenwood 
- The Packers add a middle linebacker for depth. Connor Harris is a bargain at this point.
Previous Pick: Marquel Lee, 3-4 MLB, Wake Forest
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Elijah Hood, RB, North Carolina
- The Pittsburgh Steelers get a running back for depth here. Pittsburgh has Karlos Williams and Knile Davis for depth behind Le'veon Bell. Jahad Thomas is someone the Steelers can gamble on at this point.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Tennessee Titans: Josh Malone, WR, Tennessee
- Tennessee gets another player at wide receiver. Josh Malone is my top receiver left at this point in the sixth round.
Previous Pick: Noah Brown, WR, Ohio State
- Other Tennessee Titans Selections
-
Detroit Lions: Cooper Rush, QB, Central Michigan
- Detroit takes a quarterback for depth to push for a backup or third string role. Cooper Rush intrigues me as a late round pick.
Previous Pick: Tyler Stewart, QB, Nevada
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Chad Williams, WR, Grambling State 
- Kansas City gets the 216th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Arizona Cardinals signed cornerback Tyvon Branch in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Branch became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Chad Williams has great route running and hands. He's not a guy who creates separation with his speed though.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
-
Cincinnati Bengals: Chad Wheeler, C, USC
- Cincinnati gets the 217th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Oakland Raiders signed free safety Reggie Nelson in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Nelson became a Free Agent in 2016.
- The Bengals get a center here. Chad Wheeler played left tackle at USC, but he's expected to convert to center in the NFL.
Previous Pick: Danny Isidora, RG, Miami FL
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
-
Kansas City Chiefs: Josh Tupou, NT, Colorado
- Kansas City gets the 218th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Denver Broncos signed right tackle Donald Stephenson in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Stephenson became a Free Agent in 2016.
- The Chiefs lost Dontari Poe at nose tackle. The Chiefs can take a flyer on Josh Tupou for depth at this point.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
