For the first time since 1961, the NFL Draft will return to the City of Brotherly Love on Thursday night. Philadelphia will host the NFL’s premier offseason event and there has already been plenty of drama in the past few days. Jabrill Peppers and Reuben Foster were both potential first-round picks that are watching their draft stock tumble after testing positive for a diluted urine sample at the NFL Combine. Now Peppers is highly unlikely to land in the first round and Foster has moved from a possible Top Ten pick to a late first-round selection at best. However, that is nothing compared to the allegations surrounding Gareon Conley, who may no longer be drafted after some troubling allegations came out on Tuesday.

2017 NFL DRAFT 1ST WR SELECTED IN ROUND 1
Mike Williams -158
Corey Davis +323
John Ross +280
Even though John Ross got all the headlines for breaking the 40-yard dash record at the Combine, Mike Williams is the favorite to be the first receiver off the board. The Clemson product is the most polished prospect of the bunch and was able to get open against any collegiate defense. Williams is a decent pick at this price and Davis should be favored to go before Ross.
FIRST OVERALL PICK IN 2017 NFL DRAFT?
Myles Garrett -850
Mitch Trubisky +600
Field - Any Other Player +1400
It’s very rare we see a surprise at No. 1. Generally speaking, a consensus builds in March and typically solidifies in the last few days before the NFL Draft. Garrett is the best athlete on the board and is considered the prospect that is least likely to bust, so he is a no brainer for the team with the least talent in football. Selecting Mitch Trubisky or anyone else would be roundly criticized.
2017 NFL DRAFT 1ST RB SELECTED IN ROUND1?
Leonard Fournette -600
Dalvin Cook +1600
Christian McCaffrey +425
Fournette has drawn comparisons to legends like Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker with his blend of size and strength. Although he was hampered by nagging injuries last year, no one questions his talent, but this price on him may be a little high. Instead, take the long shot Dalvin Cook. Cook was considered to have a decent chance to be a Top Ten pick just a few weeks ago, but his stock has dropped after negative reports started circulating. Robert Klembo of MMQB found those reports to have come from a disgruntled former associate and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see a team roll the dice with Cook.
SECOND OVERALL PICK IN 2017 NFL DRAFT?
Solomon Thomas +150
Marshon Lattimore +900
Mitch Trubisky +300
Myles Garrett +1000
Jonathan Allen +1000
Field - Any Other Player +300
The second pick of the daft belongs to the San Francisco 49ers and although Mitch Trubisky was long considered the likely pick here, Solomon Thomas is now the favorite to be selected. Thomas is a local product from Stanford, but the 49ers are in desperate need of a quarterback. If you are going to make a selection here, go with Trubisky.
NFL DRAFT - WHAT ROUND WILL JOE MIXON BE DRAFTED?
1 +177
2 -200
Or higher +1121
There’s no denying Joe Mixon’s talent. However, he was suspended for his entire freshman season after hitting a woman at a bar and his lukewarm apology raises questions about his maturity. The disturbing video of the incident will lead to plenty of complaints by fans of whichever team drafts him, making the price on him going in the third round or higher a nice wager.
