Amara Darboh to Seahawks in 3rd round (#106 overall)

Wide receiver Amara Darboh was picked by the Seattle Seahawks in the 3rd round (#106 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Darboh put up better numbers at the NFL Combine than expected, but this is still a little bit higher than a lot of people thought (including me). He seemed like a 4th or 5th rounder, but good for him. He’s a very likable guy, and I hope he can chisel out a decent career. In Seattle he’ll join Delano Hill, who was picked earlier in the 3rd round.

2017 NFL Draft Preview: Michigan

Taco Charlton

Players are listed in order of how I expect them to get drafted.

1st ROUND

Taco Charlton – DE
Charlton didn’t particularly enjoy playing a 3-4 defensive end role in 2015 under defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, and he was more productive as a weakside end in 2016’s version of the 4-3.  He’s projected by NFL scouts as a 4-3 end, and mostly I’ve seen him pegged as going in the last third of the first round, though he has moved up to the middle third of the first round in some mock drafts over the last week or two.
Teams to watch: Saints, Bears, Dolphins, Falcons

Hit the jump for the rest of the draft preview.
