Between now and April 2017, draft prospects will be scrutinized as fans and front offices find holes in each player's game. To be clear, Deshaun Watson has flaws. There are questions about his accuracy, decision making and body frame just to name a few areas. For all the questions, the reality is a number of teams that will have a high draft pick in the 2017 NFL Draft need a quarterback. Watson may not be a fit for every team, but he is likely to be a fit for one team with a first round selection. He is 30-3 as a starter and led Clemson to their second straight College Football Playoff. While it may not be a strong quarterback class, Watson looks to the best of the bunch. On the defensive side, fellow Heisman Trophy finalist Jabrill Peppers is one of the top prospects. While he does not have great statistics in terms of turnovers, he makes up for it with his versatility and ability to play multiple positions. He has been a big reason for the success of Michigan's defense this season and an NFL team will be more than happy to find a place for him. The draft is not until April 27, 2017 but this is how we see the beginning of the draft shaking out. The order is based on the current NFL standings.

No. 10 Philadelphia Eagles: DE Derek Barnett
School: Tennessee
Position: Defensive End
Class: Junior
Outlook: A strong argument can be made that Barnett is the best pass rusher in the draft. He was one of the best pass rushers in the country this season with 12 sacks. In addition to 45 tackles, he had two forced fumbles and an interception. Barnett is an extreme disruptor of opposing offenses. He would give the Eagles an elite player to throw at opposing quarterbacks. In a division with Eli Manning, Dak Prescott and Kirk Cousins you can never have enough pass rushers. The Eagles showed promise early in the season but find themselves in a difficult division. A good 2017 draft could have them battling for a playoff spot next season. (Getty)
No. 9 San Diego Chargers: WR Mike Williams
School: Clemson
Position: Wide Receiver
Class: Red-shirt Junior
Outlook: At this point in the draft, there are a number of edge rushers the Chargers could go after, but given San Diego used a high pick on Joey Bosa last offseason they might look another direction. With Keenan Allen unable to stay on the field, the Chargers desperately need a top receiver. Corey Davis and Mike Williams are the top two options with a few months to go before the draft process really heats up. Williams has had 84 catches for 1,171 yards and 10 touchdowns. Having a legit WR1 can only help prolong Philip Rivers career. (Getty)
No. 8 Cincinnati Bengals: LB Reuben Foster
School: Alabama
Position: Linebacker
Class: Senior
Outlook: Sometimes the best way to improve your team is to make your strengths even stronger. Foster combined with Vontaze Burfict in the middle of the field would be a lethal combination. Foster had 94 tackles this season at Alabama. For as strong of a tackler as Foster has been, he can also get to the quarterback as his four sacks demonstrate. Foster's likely to be one of the top linebackers taken in April. Cincinnati could go any number of directions but Foster is the best player available. (Getty)
No. 7 Carolina Panthers: S Jamal Adams
School: LSU
Position: Safety
Class: Junior
Outlook: Just one year removed from their Super Bowl appearance, the Panthers have a lot of holes to fill. Ideally, they would address their offensive line with this early selection but this does not look to be the draft where there is an offensive lineman worth taking inside the top ten. Adams looks like the best safety in the draft and gives Carolina a complete player in the secondary. During his time at LSU, he has shown the ability to cover, tackle and play special teams at a high level. (Getty)
No. 6 Tennessee Titans: WR Corey Davis
School: Western Michigan
Position: Wide Receiver
Class: Senior
Outlook: Marcus Mariota could use a legit number one receiver despite the way the Titans offense has looked with receivers they have on the roster. Davis had 91 receptions for 1,427 yards and 18 touchdowns his final season at Western Michigan. With his size (6'3") and production, I have him as the top-rated receiving prospect in the 2017 draft. He has the potential to be a superstar receiver which no one on the current Tennessee roster has the same potential. Davis combined with the Titans stellar rushing attack could lead to one of the most dynamic offenses in football. (Getty)
No. 5 Chicago Bears: QB DeShaun Watson
School: Clemson
Position: Quarterback
Class: Junior
Outlook: Watson has taken a beating this season by those who follow the NFL Draft. There is no doubt he has his flaws which will continue to be magnified in the coming months leading up to the draft. A player like North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky could do great in the pre-draft process, but Watson has a more complete body of work than most of the quarterback prospects. He also has a phenomenal opportunity to finish out his college career on a high note. Watson will face a talented Ohio State defense and a win would likely give him a rematch with Alabama in the championship game. Two great performances on the biggest stage could go a long way in improving his draft stock. The Bears desperately need a quarterback and could even look to address the position in free agency along with the draft. (Getty)
No. 4 New York Jets: LB/S Jabrill Peppers
School: Michigan
Position: Linebacker/Safety
Class: Junior
Outlook: The Jets need lots of help particularly on offense, but are they willing to invest a top five pick on a quarterback? History tells us no as they have a roster full of young quarterbacks they selected after the first round inluding Bryce Petty, Geno Smith and Christian Hackenberg. With Todd Bowles defensive background, a player like Jabrill Peppers will have lots of appeal. No, Peppers does not have an eye-popping amount of interceptions, but he is the most versatile player in the 2017 draft. He will give the defensive coordinator a lot of options on defense with his ability to play multiple positions and contribute on special teams. The Jets need all the talented players they can get, and Peppers is as special as they come. (Getty)
No. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars: RB Leonard Fournette
School: LSU
Position: Running Back
Class: Junior
Outlook: Jacksonville needs so much, and it would be no surprise if they select a quarterback with a mid-round pick in 2017. Fournette is as steady as they come with a pedigree that dates back to his early high school days. He is one of the rare players that has lived up to the high expectations surrounding him. Fournette's 2015 season was riddled with injuries but showed flashes of his potential in the games he did play in. General managers will want to see how he does in the passing drills at the combine, but his physical running style combined with his speed have him as a serious candidate for a top selection. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry during his last two seasons in Baton Rouge. (Getty)
No. 2 San Francisco 49ers: DE Jonathan Allen
School: Alabama
Position: Defensive End
Class: Senior
Outlook: The question between now and the draft is what the 49ers will do at quarterback. Colin Kaepernick is the closest player Chip Kelly has had at quarterback to fitting his system in Oregon. The 49ers could move away from him and opt to draft another player. Whether they would draft one with a high pick is anyone's guess. Deshaun Watson has the tools that will get him a long look from Kelly and the 49ers. With his stock all over the board, San Francisco could opt for a player like Allen who is as solid as they come. As Bleacher Report's Matt Miller pointed out, it can only help Allen during the draft process that Nick Saban goes out of his way to praise the star defensive player. (Getty)
No. 1 Cleveland Browns: DE Myles Garrett
School: Texas A&M
Position: Defensive End
Class: Junior
Outlook: Some have Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen going above Garrett after months of speculation that Garrett was the best defensive player in the draft. Garrett battled injuries during the 2015 season but, to his credit, did his best to play through it. There's no question it impacted his play and NFL teams will do their due diligence to make sure there is not a long-term concern. Garrett has the size and speed NFL teams covet. Once we get closer to the draft, these attributes will win out over a talented player like Allen. The Browns have a decision to make at quarterback but will have options with two first round picks.
