There are two Notre Dame football players who appear to be NFL Draft first round locks next week- OL Ronnie Stanley and WR Will Fuller. DL Sheldon Day could go in the second or third round. OLB Jaylon Smith was a top 5 overall pick projection before he got hurt in the Fiesta Bowl, but now he appears to have fallen out of the first round entirely.
Where he ends up now is anyones guess.
Be sure to check out the Walter Football 2016 NFL Mock draft database, now with 262 mocks included. It’s the biggest and best mock database on the whole world wide web. With their help we did some “Mocksourcing.” you know like “Crowdsourcing” or “Twittersourcing.”
Complementing our own mock, we choose a few select mocks that we know have a great track record of being accurate. We only included mocks done by draftniks that we’ve worked closely with enough to trust the integrity of their work.
