NFL Mock Draft 2017: Predictions & Rumors for Top 10 Picks

No. 6 New York Jets: CB Marshon Lattimore


School: Ohio State


Position: Cornerback


Class: Red-shirt Sophomore


Outlook: The $1 million question in New York is whether the Jets will draft a quarterback. With Todd Bowles entering a must-win season, he is unlikely going to want to play a rookie quarterback that needs time to develop. The talent at corner could be too much for the Jets to pass up. Lattimore helped himself with a blazing fast 4.36 40-time. CBS Sports draft analyst Dane Brugler compares Lattimore to Janoris Jenkins. "With their fluid athleticism and cover skills, Lattimore has similar ability and upside as Jenkins, who is currently a top-10 cornerback in the NFL," Brugler writes. The Jets' defense was expected to be a strength last season but did not perform any better than their offense. (Getty)
