  1. Cleveland Browns: Marcel Ateman, WR, Oklahoma State
    Another receiver makes sense, as the Browns can’t trust Josh Gordon. Corey Coleman, meanwhile, hasn’t been able to stay healthy.

    Pick change; previously Korey Robertson, WR

  2. New York Giants: Will Clapp, C/G, LSU
    Weston Richburg is an impending free agent, and the Giants can do better at center anyway.

  3. Houston Texans: Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB, Washington State
    The Texans definitely need some pass-rushing depth, as they’ve missed what John Simon provided last year.

    Pick change; previously Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Trey Quinn, WR, SMU
    The Colts could stand to bolster their receiving corps, as Donte Moncrief has been a big disappointment.

  5. Chicago Bears: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Miss
    Kevin White has been a bust thus far, while Cameron Meredith’s long-term status is unclear because of the brutal injury he suffered in the preseason.

    Pick change; previously D.J. Moore, WR



  6. Denver Broncos: Mark Walton, RB, Miami
    It seems like everyone in Denver’s backfield has been a disappointment this season, so the Broncos may go after another running back.

  7. New York Jets: Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State
    The Jets got a lot out of Kony Ealy, who was tremendous for them despite the Patriots cutting him during the preseason. However, Ealy is an impending free agent and may command a high price tag. If heads elsewhere, the Jets will need another new edge rusher.



  8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chad Thomas, DE, Miami
    Robert Ayers is entering his contract year, so the Buccaneers should look into finding a long-term replacement for 2019 and beyond.

  9. Denver Broncos: D.J. Reed, CB, Kansas State
    Aqib Talib turns 32 this offseason and could be released, as Charlie Campbell first reported, so the Broncos could be interested in adding a cornerback in the early rounds.



  10. Oakland Raiders: Danny Johnson, CB, Southern
    The Raiders struggled to defend the pass in 2017, as they are in need of help at cornerback.

  11. Miami Dolphins: Skyler Phillips, G, Idaho State
    Miami’s offensive line is an absolute mess. Laremy Tunsil has never adjusted to left tackle. Center Mike Pouncey needs hip surgery. And yet, both players have been much better than either of the two starting guards.



  12. Cincinnati Bengals: Jaylen Samuels, TE, N.C. State
    The Bengals should give Andy Dalton more weapons, and they can’t count on Tyler Eifert ever playing extensive action again.

  13. Washington Redskins: Oren Burks, LB, Vanderbilt
    Zach Brown has been a solid player for the Redskins, but he happens to be a free agent this offseason. He’ll need to be replaced if he departs.



  14. Green Bay Packers: Martinas Rankin, OT, Mississippi State
    There’s some talk that Bryan Bulaga may not be around next year, so the Packers could try to find a new right tackle.

  15. Chicago Bears: Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis
    Kevin White has been a bust thus far, while Cameron Meredith’s long-term status is unclear because of the brutal injury he suffered in the preseason.




  16. Dallas Cowboys: Dante Pettis, WR, Washington
    Another receiver makes sense for the Cowboys, who need to add multiple downfield play-makers for Dak Prescott.

    Pick change; previously Jordan Whitehead, S

  17. Detroit Lions: Jayln Holmes, DE, Ohio State
    Ziggy Ansah is Detroit’s best free agent. He’ll need to be replaced if he leaves via the open market. Another edge rusher wouldn’t hurt regardless.

  18. Baltimore Ravens: Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State
    Alex Collins isn’t a bad running back, but he’s nothing special. The Ravens need a new lead back.

  19. Los Angeles Chargers: Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh
    The Chargers probably should’ve taken Malik Hooker seventh overall last April. Here’s another chance to potentially get an upgrade at the position.

    Pick change; previously Austin Corbett, C

  20. Seattle Seahawks: Kevin Toliver, CB, LSU
    It’s been pretty clear this season – even before the Richard Sherman injury – that the Seahawks need to find some help at cornerback.

  21. Buffalo Bills: Malik Jefferson, LB, Texas
    The Bills could double up on linebackers, given their dire need at the position.



  22. Kansas City Chiefs: Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State
    We saw what happened to Kansas City’s offense when Travis Kelce got hurt. Andy Reid loves running two-tight end sets, so it makes sense to obtain a second talented player at the position.

    Pick change; previously Adam Breneman, TE

  23. Cleveland Browns: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE, Oklahoma
    Teams can never have enough players to get to the quarterback, and it would be nice if the Browns added an insurance policy for Myles Garrett.

    Pick change; previously Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB



  24. Los Angeles Rams: Lorenzo Carter, DE/OLB, Georgia
    The Rams have a ferocious defensive line, but Connor Barwin is the one weak link. He was supposed to provide some veteran stability, but that hasn’t happened. Here’s a potential upgrade.

  25. Tennessee Titans: Derrick Nnadi, NT, Florida State
    Sylvester Williams has turned out to be a poor addition for the Titans, so they could decide that they need to find a new nose tackle.

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State
    The Falcons could use another cornerback with Jalen Collins gone.

  27. New Orleans Saints: Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M
    The Saints could be losing Kenny Vaccaro this offseason, so they could use a mid-round pick to replace him.

  28. San Francisco 49ers: Austin Corbett, C, Nevada
    San Francisco has one of the worst centers in the NFL starting for them, so it feels like anything would be a massive upgrade at this point.

    Pick change; previously Bradley Bozeman, C

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
    The Jaguars will likely spend a mid-round pick on a quarterback as insurance for Blake Bortles.

    Pick change; previously Luke Falk, QB

  30. Miami Dolphins: Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon
    The Dolphins traded Jay Ajayi, so they’ll look for a new running back this upcoming offseason to pair with Kenyan Drake.

  31. Philadelphia Eagles: Tony Brown, CB, Alabama
    The scary thing about the Eagles’ defense is that they have Sidney Jones returning from injury next year. However, Patrick Robinson is an impending free agent, so Philadelphia may want to add a cornerback.

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Nyheim Hines, RB, N.C. State
    Cris Collinsworth pointed out that the one thing the Eagles are missing offensively is a Darren Sproles-type back, so Philadelphia could spend a mid-round selection on that sort of player if Sproles retires.
