Tony Mario's 2017 NFL Mock Draft: 7 Rounds
Round 5
Tony Mario Last Updated: April 24, 2017.
Cleveland Browns: Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU 
- Cleveland gets a wide receiver for depth here. Malachi Dupre makes sense here to begin the fifth round.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Orlosky, C, West Virginia 
- San Francisco gets a center. Tyler Orlosky can play left guard, center, or right guard. Orlosky struggled at his Pro Day and that's why I moved him down from the third to the fifth round. Orlosky is too good to pass on at this point though.
Previous Pick: Jonathan Ford, FS, Auburn
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Chicago Bears: C.J. Beathard, QB, Iowa 
- Chicago has not taken a quarterback yet. In any other year, Beathard would be a seventh round to undrafted prospec. This years quarterback class is so weak that Beathard may get pushed up to the fifth round as a result.
- Other Chicago Bears Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: Jalen Myrick, CB, Minnesota 
- Jacksonville gets a cornerback for depth. Jalen Myrick ran a 4.25 40-time a the 2017 NFL Combine and he blanketed Chris Godwin on tape. The downside is he only has one season of starting experience.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
Los Angeles Rams: Tanzel Smart, NT, Tulane 
- Tanzel Smart gives the Rams a nose tackle for depth. Smart has enough muscle to adapt to the 3-4 defense.
Previous Pick: Jarron Jones, NT, Notre Dame
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
New York Jets: Noah Brown, WR, Ohio State 
- The Jets draft a wide receiver for depth here. Noah Brown is an excellent pick at this point in the fifth round.
Previous Pick: Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State
- Other New York Jets Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee 
- The Chargers need a quarterback to develop for the future. Joshua Dobbs is the top quarterback available in the fifth round.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
Carolina Panthers: Jalen Robinnette, WR, Air Force 
- Jalen Robinnette compliments Kelvin Benjamin. Robinnette is a fourth round talent that fell to the fifth round in this mock.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Corey Clement, RB, Wisconsin 
- Cincinnati drafts a running back for depth. I think Corey Clement has a chance to be a productive role player that replaces what Rex Burkhead does.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Washington Redskins: Howard Wilson, CB, Houston 
- Washington adds a cornerback for depth here. Shaquill Griffin can play cornerback or safety and is very versatile.
Previous Pick: Shaquill Griffin, CB, Central Florida
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Philadelphia Eagles: Dawuane Smoot, LE, Illinois 
- The Philadelphia Eagles draft another defensive end for depth. Dawuane Smoot would be a steal in the fifth round.
Previous Pick: Howard Wilson, CB, Houston
- Other Philadelphia Eagles Selections
Buffalo Bills: Jermaine Elumenor, RT, Texas A&M 
- Buffalo gets a right tackle that can start right away. Jermaine Elumenor has experience at both right guard and right tackle on the offensive line.
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
Arizona Cardinals: Shelton Gibson, WR, West Virginia
- Arizona grabs a wide receiver for depth. Shelton Gibson is a nice value pick in the fifth round.
Previous Pick: Tedric Thompson, FS, Colorado
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
Indianapolis Colts: Isaac Asiata, RG, Utah 
- The Colts get a right guard who can play all 5 spots on the offensive line in Isaac Asiata here. This is a great pick by the Indianapolis Colts.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
Baltimore Ravens: Nazair Jones, 3-4 LE, North Carolina 
- The Baltimore Ravens will draft another 3-4 defensive end here. Willie Henry will start at 3-4 right end with Brandon Williams back at nose tackle. Nazair Jones would likely play 3-4 left end on the Baltimore Ravens.
Previous Pick: Elijah Lee, MLB, Kansas State
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Jerod Evans, QB, Virginia Tech 
- The Minnesota Vikings get a quarterback. Both Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Bradford have durability issues.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
-
San Francisco 49ers: Amara Darboh, WR, Michigan
- The 49ers draft a wide receiver for depth. Darboh has the speed, hands, and route running to succeed as a wide receiver in San Francisco in 2018 if he learns behind Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin during his rookie season.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Keionta Davis, RE, Chattanooga 
- Keionta Davis would be a great addition at defensive end for depth. He makes a lot of sense for Tampa Bay at this point.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
-
Buffalo Bills: Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State
- Buffalo gets another running back for depth. They lost Mike Gilislee.
Previous Pick: Jake Butt, TE, Michigan
- Other New England Patriots Selections
Tennessee Titans: Avery Gennesy, LT, Texas A&M
- Tennessee adds another left tackle for depth here because they have the luxury to do so. Avery Gennesy is an awesome value pick at this point.
- Other Tennessee Titans Selections
Detroit Lions: Brad Seaton, LT, Villanova 
- Detroit drafts Brad Seaton as depth behind Taylor Decker. Even though the Lions took Decker in the first round, I don't trust Decker, plus Seaton is a player that could start over Decker down the road after learning the Lions system plus Seaton has the versatility to play both offensive tackle spots like Decker.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
Miami Dolphins: Fish Smithson, FS, Kansas 
- Miami will need a free safety here. Both Free Agency pickups Nate Allen and T.J. McDonald are huge liabilities in coverage. Drafting Smitshon to push both free safeties for a roster spot is smart here.
Previous Pick: Lorenzo Jerome, SS, Saint Francis
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
New York Giants: Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas 
- New York drafts a sarting tight end. Jeremy Sprinkle is a player I really like on tape despite his off the field issues. There were times where he outplayed former teammate Hunter Henry in 2015.
- Other New York Giants Selections
Oakland Raiders: Davon Godchaux, DT, LSU
- Davon Godchaux would be a great addition at defensive tackle. He can play a similar role that Stacy McGee played.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
Houston Texans: Josh Carraway, 3-4 ROLB, TCU 
- Houston gets a right outside linebacker for depth. Josh Carraway is a great addition for the Texans at this spot.
Previous Pick: Nazair Jones, 3-4 LE, North Carolina
- Other Houston Texans Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Alex Anzalone, 3-4 MLB, Florida 
- Alex Anzalone would be a good player to groom behind Derrick Johnson. He's a good pick for Kansas City in the fifth round.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
-
Buffalo Bills: Elijah Lee, MLB, Kansas State
- Buffalo drafts a middle linebacker for depth. Elijah Lee is an awesome fit at this point in the fifth round.
Previous Pick: Trey Hendrickson, 3-4 LOLB, Florida Atlantic
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
Green Bay Packers: Stacy Coley, WR, Miami FL 
- The Green Bay Packers get a wide receiver for depth. Stacy Coley just feels like a underdog type of receiver that gets underlooked and fights through adversity. Green Bay always finds these kinds of receivers in the draft by taking a flyer on them and then puts them in a position to succeed.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Aviante Collins, RT, TCU
- Pittsburgh drafts a right tackle for depth at this point. Aviante Collins had a great 2017 NFL Combine and may be someone that Pittsburgh could consider here.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Atlanta Falcons: Steven Taylor, LOLB, Houston
- Atlanta adds a left outside linebacker for depth. Steven Taylor could be a situational linebacker on plays where Vic Beasley lines up at defensive end instead of outside linebacker.
Previous Pick: Tanzel Smart, NT, Tulane
- Other Atlanta Falcons Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: Vince Biegel, LOLB, Wisconsin
- Cleveland drafts an outside linebacker for depth. Biegel would be re-united with Joe Schobert in Cleveland.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
-
Cincinnati Bengals: Brian Allen, CB, Utah
- Cincinnati gets the 176th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver Mohamed Sanu in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Sanu became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Cincinnati gets cornerback depth. The 6-3 215 lb Brian Allen provides fantastic depth at this point.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Denver Broncos: Jon Toth, C, Kentucky 
- Denver gets the 177th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Chicago Bears signed 3-4 middle linebacker Danny Trevathian in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Trevathian became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Denver drafts a backup center for depth here. Jon Toth is the best center available.
Previous Pick: Kyle Fuller, C, Baylor
- Other Denver Broncos Selections
-
Miami Dolphins: Danny Isidora, RG, Miami FL
- Miami gets the 178th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Houston Texans signed running back Lamar Miller in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Miller became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Miami needs a right guard to pair with Dion Dawkins. Danny Isidora played right guard at Miami FL and is a natural fit here.
Previous Pick: Sean Harlow, RG, Oregon State
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
-
Arizona Cardinals: Jonathan Ford, FS, Auburn
- Arizona gets the 179th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Chicago Bears signed right tackle Bobbie Massie in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Massie became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Arizona gets a safety for depth. Jonathan Ford can play nickel cornerback, strong safety, of free safety with his versatility.
Previous Pick: Shelton Gibson, WR, West Virginia
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
-
Kansas City Chiefs: Brendan Langley, CB, Lamar
- Kansas City gets the 180th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Chase Daniel in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Daniel became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Kansas City gets a cornerback for depth here. Brendan Langley out of Lamar is a talented small school corner. Someone will pick him up for depth on the third day of the 2017 NFL Draft. Langley has the size Dorsey covets at 6-1 190 lbs.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: Kyle Fuller, C, Baylor
- Cleveland gets the 181st pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the San Diego Chargers signed wide receiver Travis Benjamin in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Benjamin became a Free Agent in 2016. I know their the Los Angeles Chargers now.
- The Browns get excellent value at the end of the fifth round by drafting the fourth best center to push Cameron Erving for a roster spot. That's what Kyle Fuller can do.
Previous Pick: Jon Toth, C, Kentucky
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
-
Green Bay Packers: Sean Harlow, RG, Oregon State
- Green Bay gets the 182nd pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the San Diego Chargers signed cornerback Casey Heyward in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Heyward became a Free Agent in 2016.

- New England uses this pick on a developmental player. The Patriots get another developmental tight end. Michael Roberts is great value at this point.
Previous Pick: Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP
- Other New England Patriots Selections
-
Miami Dolphins: Trevor Knight, QB, Texas A&M
- Miami gets the 184th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Tennessee Titans signed wide receiver Rishard Matthews in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Matthews became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Miami gets a developmental quarterback that can push Matt Moore and Brandon Doughty for a roster spot. That quarterback that's the best fit for Miami at this point in my opinion is Trevor Knight who started at Oklahoma before Baker Mayfield arrived then he did well at Texas A&M.
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
