Last year, we had some fun with this by using 2016’s first-round order entering draft day and projecting how it would have shaped up had the field been limited to current Sun Devils. We’re doing the same once again here, using Arizona State’s current roster as our player pool.
Read below to see who your favorite NFL team selected in our 2017 edition.
Note: The order players are chosen does not reflect their standing on the depth chart.
- Cleveland Browns: Koron Crump, EDGE — Just like in real life, the Browns display some discipline here, and use their first first-round pick to fill another position of need before choosing a quarterback with several to choose from.
- San Francisco 49ers: N’Keal Harry, WR — Our fictional version of Niners GM John Lynch has his war room flip a coin between choosing a QB and taking Harry. He’s touted a genius after all is said and done.
- Chicago Bears: Blake Barnett, QB — The Bears take their quarterback of the future, and Mike Glennon isn’t sure what this means (though it might mean he gets his nice payday while exuding minimal effort).
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Kalen Ballage, RB — The Jags land a dynamic runner to ease the load for Blake Bortles. In fact, Jacksonville’s staff tells Ballage they may experiment with him at QB, referencing him experience in the Sparky formation.
- Tennessee Titans: Kareem Orr, CB — Orr offers much-needed skill at corner for Tennessee, who can address other areas with their second first-round pick.
- New York Jets: Manny Wilkins, QB — Christian Hackenberg doesn’t get his chance in the end, and Wilkins is tabbed the starter.
- Los Angeles Chargers: JoJo Wicker, DE — The Chargers get a steal, and add a potential starter in Wicker to initially spell Joey Bosa.
- Carolina Panthers: John Humphrey Jr., WR — With Ted Ginn out of the fold, the Panthers give Cam Newton a speedy weapon to target.

- Buffalo Bills: Armand Perry, DB — The Bills have faith in Perry’s return from injury and put him in the mix at safety.
- New Orleans Saints: Quinn Bailey, OT — Bailey gives New Orleans someone who can play just about anywhere along the line.
- Cleveland Browns: Brady White, QB — The Browns take White, and now have their QB of the future.
- Arizona Cardinals: Bryce Perkins, QB — The hometown hero narrative continues for Perkins, who’s drafted by the Cards as their own QB of the future intended to sit behind Carson Palmer for a year or two.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Maurice Chandler, DB — The Eagles add versatile defensive back to potentially start at corner.
- Indianapolis Colts: Christian Sam, LB — Sam offers consistency and versatility for the Colts at a position that’s been in flux for the better part of the past three seasons.
- Baltimore Ravens: Jalen Harvey, WR — Harvey is just the reliable option Joe Flacco needs to thrive in the short-intermediate game again.
- Washington: Tashon Smallwood, DT — Smallwood’s slide ends, and he lands in a favorable situation.
- Tennessee Titans: Terrell Chatman, WR — Marcus Mariota, already one of the best in football at operating in the red zone, gets an acrobatic target to help him furthermore in the scoring department.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jay Jay Wilson, TE — Jameis Winston smiles as he gets a talented tight end to operate with.
- Denver Broncos: DJ Calhoun, LB — The Broncos add a thumper in Calhoun, whose presence in the middle is immediately welcomed by the Denver staff.
- Detroit Lions: Nick Ralston, RB — Ameer Abdullah gets a counterpart in Ralston, whose balanced game enables Detroit to utilize Abdullah as a receiver more often.
- Miami Dolphins: Sam Jones, OG — The Dolphins add the best interior lineman in the draft, hoping to get better production from that group in 2017.
- New York Giants: Cohl Cabral, OT — The Ereck Flowers experiment ends, and the Giants bring in Cabral to anchor the left side.

- Houston Texans: Dillon Sterling-Cole, QB — The Texans patiently waited for a QB, and possibly landed the best fit of them all.
- Seattle Seahawks: Marcus Ball, S — Ball joins the hard-hitting secondary featuring Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas, and gives the unit some flexibility and depth.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Eno Benjamin, RB — The Chiefs add Benjamin to their backfield with hope he can assume the lead back role in a short period of time.
- Dallas Cowboys: Ryan Newsome, WR — A Texas native, Newsome adds dimension to the Cowboys’ offense as another target who can wreak havoc in a variety of ways.
- Green Bay Packers: Malik Lawal, LB — The Packers add the speedy Lawal, who they work in as an edge rusher and as a gunner on special teams.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: Dougladson Subtyl, EDGE — After just missing on Lawal, Pittsburgh brings in Subtyl in hopes he can provide a pass-rushing compliment to Bud Depree.
- Atlanta Falcons: Steven Miller, OG — The Falcons add a right guard to bolster the interior of the line.
