The 2017 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and NFL Draft analysts are busy finalizing their predictions before the first round opens at the end of April.

A look at a number of mock drafts reveals some trends — Myles Garrett is the consensus No. 1 and Solomon Thomas is the consensus No. 2 in the mock drafts we examined.
Likewise, players like Marshon Lattimore, Jonathan Allen and Jamal Adams are typically top-10 picks.
But there are plenty of players draft analysts don't agree upon — guys who could be top 10 picks in some mock drafts or as low as second round selections in others.
Here's a look at the biggest question marks in terms of draft stock as we approach the 2017 NFL Draft. NFL Mock Drafts used for this exercise include NFL.com, CBS Sports and ESPN — 13 mock drafts in total (selections as of April 10).

The QBs:
Mitchell Trubisky, QB — North Carolina
High: No. 6
Low: No. 32
While he most often appears at No. 12 to the Cleveland Browns, Trubsisky is picked as high as No. 6 by the New York Jets and as low as No. 32 by the Cleveland Browns (in a projected trade).
Deshaun Watson, QB — Clemson
High: No. 6
Low: Second Round
As high as No. 6 and completely out of the first round (according to NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah), Watson is slated all over the place on mock drafts.
Patrick Mahomes II, QB — Texas Tech
High: No. 6
Low: Second Round
As high as No. 6 on some mocks, you'll ost often see Mahomes II connected to the Houston Texans at pick No. 25. He's out of the first round completely in some mocks, too.
Deshone Kizer, QB — Notre Dame
High: No. 13
Low: Second Round
Most NFL mock drafters place Kizer in the second round, but a few have him higher. Both Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay of ESPN have him as a either a late first round pick (Kiper — No. 27) or the first pick of the second round (McShay). The pick that stands out is from CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson, who slates him No. 13 to the Arizona Cardinals.

The Rest:
John Ross, WR — Washington
High: No. 8
Low: Second Round
The wide receiver most mock drafters disagree on, Ross is projected all over the place in the first round, and even out of it in Dane Brugler's mock for CBS Sports. For reference, Clemson's Mike Williams has a range of just 12 spots — from No. 5 to No. 16.
Haason Reddick, OLB — Temple
High: No. 5
Low: No. 27
An outside linebacker prospect that has been tough to place, Reddick's draft slot varies by 23 selections according to the mock drafts we examined. He's selected by Tennessee in oth of their draft slots (No. 5 and No. 18) in different mock drafts.
Tre'Davious White, CB — LSU
High: No. 11
Low: Second Round
An early first-round pick by some, White is also out of the first round by many mock drafters. While two drafts slate him in the top 15 at No. 11 to New Orleans and No. 14 Philadelphia, six of the mock drafts we examined have him out of the first round.
Both Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. released two-round mocks for ESPN, and project White at No. 39 and No. 42, respectively.
Takkarist McKinley, DE — UCLA
High: No. 8
Low: Second Round
Analysts can't seem to place McKinley. Some have him a top-15 pick — No. 8 to Carolina, No. 11 to New Orleans or No. 15 to Indianapolis, but two analysts — CBS Sports' Dane Brugler and Ryan Wilson — don't even have him in their first round.
Corey Davis, WR — Western Michigan
High: No. 9
Low: Second Round
While CBS Sports' Rob Rang doesn't include Davis in his first round, other analysts project him early in the draft at Nos. 9, 10, 12 and 13.
Taco Charlton, DE — Michigan
High: No. 9
Low: No. 31
As high as No. 9 by some projections, Charlton's draft prospects range another 23 spots down to the 31st overall selection.
