2017 NFL Mock Draft: Final Four-Round Predictions

​Round 2 (Picks 33-48)

35. Jaguars select Pat Elflein, Center/Guard
Elflein was part of the unit that made Ezekiel Elliott a great collegiate rusher. Elflein isn't enormous, but anchors well and has the kind of intelligence and tenacity to fit in as an early starter on a run-heavy team. Pass protection will be an issue early at center; he gave up 11 hurries at the position this year.

numberFire Says: The offensive line is in shambles, ranking 31st in Rushing Success Rate and 25th in Sack NEP in 2016. If they draft Fournette in the first, they'll go with a man-power lineman to help ease his arrival.

41. Bengals select Chris Godwin, Wide Receiver
Godwin has the speed athleticism of a much smaller receiver, but is built like a true top receiver at 6'1" and 205 pounds. In a Big 10 offense, Godwin posted an average 64 catches for 1,042 yards and 7 scores over his last two years. His best production is yet to come.

numberFire Says: This wide receiver unit looked mortal without Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones. They need a big receiver to pair with A.J. Green; they generated just the 15th-most total Reception NEP this year and Brandon LaFell isn't long-term.

46. Colts select T.J. Watt, Linebacker
The younger brother of J.J., T.J. Watt is a high-motor outside linebacker with great instincts who led Wisconsin with 11.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles for a loss in 2016. He'll need to improve his coverage skills, but Watt should excel as a pass-rusher early.

numberFire Says: The Colts had the the sixth-worst pass defense and seventh-worst rush defense, according to numberFire metrics. At 36, Robert Mathis isn't getting any younger, and the Colts already need help outside.
