Dallas Cowboys 2017 NFL Draft: Entire First Round Mock
By Carl Daley
25. Houston Texans: Patrick Mahomes II (Quarterback)
I honestly think Mahomes will fall to the second round but the Texans may not allow that to happen. David Njoku seems to be the better option here as the team could grab a quarterback in the second round but the franchise will attempt to make a splash.
They also have to replace the biggest free agent bungle of the decade as Brock Osweiler is now a member of the Cleveland Browns. Mahomes has an interesting throwing motion and is pretty accurate but still could use a year to sit and learn. He could battle Tom Savage for the starting job come training camp.
26. Seattle Seahawks: Gareon Conley (Cornerback)
The Seahawks need to add a new star to the Legion of Boom as injuries and free agent departures have caused that secondary more than they are used too. Conley instantly adds a big bodied corner who can disrupt the passing game.
Playing alongside or in place of Richard Sherman would be the most effective use of his talents. If the Seahawks are really looking to trade Sherman a cornerback will be the selection and Conley could be the replacement.
27. Kansas City Chiefs: Takkarist McKinley (Linebacker/Defensive End)
Takk will finally be selected one spot before the Cowboys as the Chiefs find a quality linebacker who could also generate pressure, that is where McKinley comes in. He will be the future of the Chiefs defense and should make a difference on field from day one. He would fit well in their system and instantly fill a need.
