Mock Draft 12.0 picks 17-32: Decision time
The Jags have a few directions they could go in at 17, but with Mitchell falling into their laps, they should be running in their draft card.
As Dan Parr puts it for NFL Network, drafting Mims is the Bengals “preparing for the future.” He’s huge and athletic, but his lack of playing experience in college suggests there is some work to be done.
The Rams need to replace Aaron Donald’s production, even if replacing him is impossible. Murphy is no Donald, but he is a good, disruptive prospect on the defensive interior.

Guard or right tackle, Fuaga provides versatility for the Steelers. Dan Parr describes him as a “road-grader” which should fit into Pittsburgh nicely.
Latu is the best available pass-rusher left on the board. The Dolphins could be without their two best EDGE defenders until well into the season, making this an obvious need.
Having traded down with the Eagles, the Seahawks swap their third-round pick for the Eagles 2 number 53 selection and the 22nd pick. They play it safe by selecting the most polished offensive lineman on the board.
The Cardinals need talent almost everywhere and Wiggins has the potential to become a “pest on the outside” as Dan Parr puts it.
The Cowboys could be in the trade-up market if the boards falls their way, as they are desperate for tackle help. Guyton may immediately help, but in the long run, he could be the guy.
As Jonathan Jones writes for CBS Sports, DeJean “can play in a number of different spots,” which is exactly the sort of versatility the Packers could be looking for.
NFL Network, CBS Sports, and Sports Illustrated all have Robinson mocked to the Bucs, so there must be something here. We don’t love him as a prospect and think other players could make more sense.

The Niners trade up with their NFC West rivals the Cardinals to select Suamataia, who we like as a tackle prospect who can play inside at guard. This could be any number of offensive line prospects, but the trade-up makes sense.
The Bills could go with Brian Thomas Jr. at 28, but we think Xavier Worthy has been pigeonholed as just a deep threat, while his stats suggest he could have more versatility.
If Latu or Robinson are still on the board in the mid-20s, watch out for a trade-up by Detroit as they look to bolster their pass rush. Instead, they stay put and select McKinstry, who should help their defense on the back end.
Powers-Johnson projects as a center, but certainly has the size to play guard if required, Jonathan Jones recently wrote, “Baltimore has a lot of holes to fill along its offensive line,” and JPJ could do just that.
The Cardinals trade back once again, allowing the Giants to move up and select a quarterback in the first round, giving them five years of team control.
If Thomas falls to 32 we would be a little surprised, but the Chiefs would be stupid not to select him in this scenario.
