Norris' Mock Draft
Round 1 (13): CB Vernon Hargreaves, Florida - There are two top corners in this class. Hargreaves and Jalen Ramsey. After that, Williams Jackson and Mackensie Alexander make up the second tier. All four are likely first round picks. Hargreaves is one of the top athletes in this class, regardless of position. Yes, I know Hargreaves lost on a handful of “big plays” in 2015, but he is a polished press corner with an aggressive demeanor.
Round 2 (42): G Christian Westerman, Arizona State - It would not be a surprise for a team to consider Westerman a plug and play starter. There’s a lot of talk around Joshua Garnett and Cody Whitehair. Don’t sleep on Westerman, who can latch on and occupy defenders with great strength.
Round 3 (73): RB C.J. Prosise, Notre Dame - The former receiver looked like a natural while carrying the load for Notre Dame last season. He’s not raw at the position, just inexperienced. I’m expecting Prosise to feel more comfortable with his vision, timing and cuts as he sees more and more carries.
Round 4 (107): EDGE Jason Fanaika, Utah - Teams who miss out on the top edge rushers will be fighting for scraps in this potentially weak class at the position. Fanaika tested like an average NFL athlete and is at his best when attacking the outside shoulder of an offensive lineman and ripping around them.
Round 5 (147): CB Justin Burris, NC State - Burris is one of my favorite third day corners in this draft. He’s aware of routes and closes quickly on underneath receivers.
Round 6 (186): DT Trevon Coley, FAU - Another third day favorite of mine. Coley is slippery on the interior, flexible in his hips, and can work around interior linemen.
Round 7 (227): C Matt Skura, Duke - This center class is loaded. Therefore, talents like Skura will fall into the later rounds. The Dolphins need some kind of insurance behind Pouncey.
Round 7 (231): LB Joe Bolden, Michigan - Bolden is incredibly active and projects as a special teamer.
