The 2017 NFL Draft order is now ready for the teams. It includes all the seven rounds of picks and as expected Cleveland Browns get the first pick in all the rounds except the seventh round. The winners as usual, in the last spot for the first two rounds, and the other teams follow. There are few factors each team should consider while going for the picks.

There is no good pool of quarterbacks this year and it could create a problem for teams who are searching for some good quarterbacks in their side. Be it Mitch Trubisky of North Carolina or DeShaun Watson of Clemson are not found to be highly competent and hence can't be trusted much. The fact that there are no good offensive linemen this year, is creating a problem in the offensive line. Few names can be heard like Cam Robinson of Alabama or Garett Bolles of Utah could be an exception to that, but not much.

When it comes to pass rushers, there are a number of people and teams that won't find any difficulty in getting their defensive line filled. Be it, Myles Garrett of Texas, Jonathan Allen of Alabama or Taco Charlton of Michigan, they all have the ability to outclass with a brilliant performance. Considering the quality of quarterbacks this year, teams might go for more picks this year in the first round. The teams would try to get the best from the list to ensure a balanced lineup.

The teams like Browns, 49 ers, Chicago Bears and other top order teams in the draft can make use of the opportunity with a long perspective of making a good team. Since the draft order is ready, the coming days would see more announcements by various teams regarding their plans. Time to wait and watch.
