The best and riskiest picks of the NFL Draft

Many fans immerse themselves in the draft for months leading up to the draft, anticipating who will be joining their team in the next fall. These players will either help their team in the future or could become a bust in the eyes of their respective teams.

Best Picks:

Chad Kelly (Quarterback) Denver Broncos:
The final pick in the 2017 NFL Draft could possibly be the biggest sleeper this year. Selected to the Denver Broncos with the 253rd overall pick(Mr.Irrelevant), he is clearly not the 253rd best player in this draft based on what he showed in his time at Ole Miss. If Kelly is able to prove he can stay healthy and consistent an entire season, he may be able to eventually become a valuable quarterback in this league.

Jonathan Allen (D-Line) Washington Redskins:
This guy has the potential to be a game-changer for the Redskins and produce for them right away. He was a potential top five pick and is a steal at pick 17. He can be one of the best players in the league in a few years and many teams may regret not picking him earlier.

Reuben Foster (Linebacker) San Francisco 49ers:
Reuben Foster was perceived as the top defensive player on some boards at the end of the college football season. Though, many problems arose from a diluted drug test sample at the combine as well as getting kicked out after a confrontation with a hospital worker. If Foster can clean up his act off the field, he will be a dominant player for the 49ers for years to come.

Risky Picks:

Evan Engram (Tight End) New York Giants:
This was a very talented tight end class, and Evan Engram was one of the top players at his position. Many thought he wasn’t worthy of a first round pick and saw him more as a early to mid second round pick. The Giants also have needs at other positions they could have filled, like their O-line. It isn’t that Engram won’t be able to help the Giants, as much as other positions of need they could’ve filled and better value players they could have taken.

CJ Beathard (Quarterback) San Francisco 49ers:
Beathard was a good QB for the University of Iowa, but he won’t be able to keep up with all that the NFL will throw at him. With below-average arm strength and playing against teams with no complexity to their defense, it will be difficult for Beathard to make the transition.

Mitchell Trubisky (Quarterback) Chicago Bears:
The Bears traded up one pick to grab Trubisky with the second pick. They traded multiple of their own picks to move up to get this quarterback that the team they traded with(49ers) probably would not have even picked. Trubisky could turn out to be a franchise quarterback, but so far he is extremely unproven.
