NFL Mock Draft 2017: Knee-jerk Week 17 edition

Updated Mar. 4, 2020 2:26 p.m. ET

The regular season has concluded, but what will teams that didn’t qualify for the playoffs do to improve in the NFL Draft this year?

We are just days away from the start of the NFL Playoffs, but not everyone is going to be enjoying the action. Only 12 teams qualified for the playoffs, meaning there are twenty fan bases sitting around wondering what their team will do in the offseason.

Free agency is great for teams on the cusp, but teams that didn’t qualify for the postseason did so for a reason: they need young talent. That’s going to be added through the draft, and what better time than now to start looking at April if your team is done playing in January?

Here’s a quick, knee-jerk look at a mock draft after today’s action wrapped up. This is for teams that didn’t qualify for the playoffs. If you’re looking for your team, or a different perspective, see below for a more in-depth mock:
