  1. Cleveland Browns: Anthony Zettel, DE/DT, Penn State
    Randy Starks has been a disappointment for the Browns, who will probably spend a mid-round choice on a potential replacement.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

    Pick change; previously Chris Jones, DE/DT

  2. Tennessee Titans: Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson
    Here’s more much-needed help for Tennessee’s secondary. If the Titans had a slightly worse pick in the first round, they’d target Jalen Ramsey or Vernon Hargreaves.

    Pick change; previously D.J. White, CB

  3. Dallas Cowboys: Rashard Higgins, WR, Colorado State
    We’ve seen now that the Cowboys will struggle to do anything offensively if Dez Bryant is out of the lineup. And even when Bryant is playing, he could use a dynamic No. 2 receiver across the field to take some attention away from him.

    Pick change; previously Tyler Matakevich, ILB

  4. San Diego Chargers: Hassan Ridgeway, NT, Texas
    The Chargers have to find a nose tackle to help them improve against the run. They’ve been a bottom-five team against the rush all year.



  5. Miami Dolphins: Landon Turner, G, North Carolina
    The Dolphins are desperate at guard. Two upgrades are needed at the position.

    Pick change; previously C.J. Prosise, RB

  6. Jacksonville Jaguars: Devontae Booker, RB, Utah
    The Jaguars weren’t pleased with how Denard Robinson performed behind T.J. Yeldon. I could see them targeting a running back in the middle rounds.

  7. Baltimore Ravens: Chris Jones, DE/DT, Mississippi State
    Chris Canty was clearly in regression mode, as he turned 33 in November. Baltimore will be looking for a new defensive lineman to go along with Brandon Williams and Timmy Jernigan.

    Pick change; previously Yannick Ngakoue, DE/OLB

  8. San Francisco 49ers: Max Tuerk, C, USC
    The 49ers have absolutely nothing at center, as Marcus Martin is completely worthless. They have to target the center position during the offseason.



  9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: KeiVarae Russell, CB, Notre Dame
    A second cornerback needs to be added, as the Buccaneers have a major weakness at the position.

  10. New York Giants: Nate Andrews, S, Florida State
    The Giants’ pass defense has been atrocious this season. Their safety play has been horrific. This position could be addressed even earlier.

    Pick change; previously Jeremy Cash, S

  11. Chicago Bears: Tyler Johnstone, OT, Oregon
    Jay Cutler looked like a new man early in the year, but he regressed toward the end. Part of the blame has to be on the offensive line, which features two struggling tackles. Kyle Long is out of place and should be used at guard, while Charles Leno is just a swing tackle, at best.

    Pick change; previously Dominique Alexander, ILB

  12. Los Angeles Rams: Kevon Seymour, CB, USC
    Trumaine Johnson is an impending free agent, so the Rams could explore the cornerback position early in the 2016 NFL Draft.



  13. Detroit Lions: Thomas Duarte, WR, UCLA
    There’s talk that Calvin Johnson could be leaving Detroit this offseason or possibly retiring. Regardless, the Lions need some young blood at wide receiver.

    Pick change; previously Rashard Higgins, WR

  14. New Orleans Saints: Rashard Robinson, CB, LSU
    The Saints have to bolster their secondary. They need to do everything in their power to get Brandon Browner off the field. Knowing Browner, he’ll still be penalized on the sidelines.

    Pick change; previously Briean Boddy-Calhoun, CB

  15. Philadelphia Eagles: Kyle Murphy, OT, Stanford
    Jason Peters won’t be around much longer. The Eagles have to find a successor at right tackle once Lane Johnson moves over to the blind side.

    Pick change; previously Landon Turner, G

  16. Oakland Raiders: Dominique Alexander, ILB, Oklahoma
    I’ve mocked Jaylon Smith to the Raiders on several occasions, but he may not be appealing now in the wake of his knee injury. Regardless, a linebacker upgrade is needed.

    Pick change; previously Deion Jones, LB



  17. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Doughty, QB, Western Kentucky
    The Falcons should think about grooming a backup quarterback, as they don’t really have anything behind Matt Ryan.

  18. Indianapolis Colts: James Cowser, DE/OLB, Southern Utah
    The Colts have several aging pass-rushers, so they should think about bringing in some young blood at the position.

  19. Buffalo Bills: Pharoh Cooper, WR, South Carolina
    The Bills need to find another downfield weapon for Tyrod Taylor to overthrow, I mean connect with.

  20. New York Jets: Yannick Ngakoue, DE/OLB, Maryland
    Here’s a linebacker for the Jets, one who can rush the quarterback from the exterior, which is something New York has had issues with in the past few years.

    Pick change; previously Carl Lawson, DE/OLB



  21. Houston Texans: Nick Vannett, TE, Ohio State
    Houston continues to bolster its anemic offense, as the tight end position will definitely need to be addressed.

  22. Washington Redskins: Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia
    Here’s another potential upgrade for Washington’s woeful secondary. A couple of early picks in the 2016 NFL Draft could certainly be used on defensive backs.

  23. Minnesota Vikings: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
    The Vikings could stand to benefit adding some depth to the interior of their defensive front.

  24. Cincinnati Bengals: Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia
    Pacman Jones was terrific this past season, but with he and Leon Hall both older than 30, the Bengals will have to find some young blood at cornerback.

    Pick change; previously William Likely, CB



  25. Pittsburgh Steelers: Tre Madden, RB, USC
    DeAngelo Williams has been a terrific backup for Le’Veon Bell. He’s nearing the end of his NFL career, however, so Pittsburgh will need a long-term No. 2 runner (though Fitzgerald Toussaint is making his case to be that guy.)

  26. Seattle Seahawks: Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo
    Marshawn Lynch won’t be around for much longer, if this season is any indication. Thomas Rawls has proven himself, but the Seahawks could add someone to play behind Rawls.

  27. Green Bay Packers: Kenyan Drake, RB, Alabama
    Another team that will be looking for running back help, the Packers have Eddie Lacy, who has been out of shape this year, and James Starks, who will be an impending free agent.

  28. Kansas City Chiefs: Parker Ehinger, OT, Cincinnati
    The Chiefs extended Jah Reid for some reason, but they’ll still target a blocker in the middle rounds to shore up their offensive line depth.

    Pick change; previously Kyle Murphy, OT

  29. New England Patriots: Christian Westerman, G, Arizona State
    The Patriots have to address their offensive line, as Tom Brady’s health will be in jeopardy if this liability isn’t fixed.

    Pick change; previously Aaron Green, RB

  30. Arizona Cardinals: Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State
    Someone to push D.J. Humphries, perhaps? It’s still early, but Humphries hasn’t looked like he can play in the NFL at all.

  31. Baltimore Ravens: Jeremy Cash, S, Duke
    As the Ravens continue to improve their defense, they’ll need to look into upgrading the safety spot next to Will Hill.

    Pick change; previously Tony Conner, S

  32. Carolina Panthers: Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State
    The Panthers could stand to add receiving depth, just in case they sustain injuries to the position again next year.
