  1. Cleveland Browns: Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis
    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: Jeff Holland, DE/OLB, Auburn
    The Texans missed John Simon last year, so they may go after another edge rusher for depth purposes.

    Pick change; previously Greg Senat, OT



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Connor Williams, OT, Texas
    The Colts, like the Texans, need to bolster their horrible blocking.

    Connor Williams has taken a dive in recent mock draft updates as a result of Charlie’s report in the NFL Hot Press that teams have a mid-round grade on the Texas tackle.

    Pick change; previously Trey Quinn, WR

  5. Chicago Bears: Skyler Phillips, G, Idaho State
    The Bears released talented guard Josh Sitton, so he’ll be missed unless Chicago finds a proper replacement for him.

    Pick change; previously Anthony Miller, WR



  6. Denver Broncos: Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida 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.

    Pick change; previously Mark Walton, RB

  7. New York Jets: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE/OLB, Oklahoma
    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.

    Pick change; previously Jeff Holland, DE



  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: Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
    Here’s another offensive line upgrade for the Broncos, as they need to bolster their front as best as possible for Kirk Cousins, or whomever their next quarterback might be.

    Pick change; previously Tarvarus McFadden, CB



  10. Oakland Raiders: D.J. Reed, CB, Kansas State
    The Raiders struggled to defend the pass in 2017, as they are in need of help at cornerback.

    Pick change; previously Danny Johnson, CB

  11. Miami Dolphins: Scott Quessenberry, G, UCLA
    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.

    Pick change; previously Skyler Phillips, G



  12. Cincinnati Bengals: Austin Corbett, C, Nevada
    Here’s yet another offensive line upgrade for the Bengals, who desperately need to improve their blocking.

    Pick change; previously Jaylen Samuels, TE

  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: Lorenzo Carter, DE/OLB, Georgia
    Clay Matthews is entering his contract season as a 32-year-old, so the Packers could use another mid-round pick on an edge rusher.

    Pick change; previously Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE/OLB

  15. Chicago Bears: Deon Cain, WR, Clemson
    As mentioned, Chicago’s receiving situation is pretty dire, so multiple upgrades can be used on this area.

    Pick change; previously Anthony Miller, WR




  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.

  17. Detroit Lions: Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB, Washington 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.

    Pick change; previously Jayln Holmes, DE

  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.

  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: Adam Breneman, TE, UMass
    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 Mike Gesicki, TE

  23. Cleveland Browns: Marcell Frazier, DE, Missouri
    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 Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE



  24. Los Angeles Rams: James Hearns, DE/OLB, Louisville
    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.

    Pick change; previously Lorenzo Carter, DE/OLB

  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: Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State
    A team can never have too many edge rushers, especially when its first-round edge rusher struggled as a rookie.

    Pick change; previously Austin Corbett, 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.

  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.



  33. Green Bay Packers: Dane Cruikshank, CB, Arizona
    It shouldn’t surprise anyone if the Packers use multiple selections on cornerbacks to finally fix their atrocious secondary.

  34. Arizona Cardinals: Martez Carter, RB, Grambling
    A poor man’s Tarik Cohen, Martez Carter would be an interesting weapon to add behind David Johnson.

  35. New York Giants: Jayln Holmes, DE, Ohio State
    There’s talk that the Giants could part ways with Olivier Vernon in the near future, so here’s a potential replacement.

  36. New England Patriots: Kamrin Moore, CB, Boston College
    Malcolm Butler is as good as gone after his inexplicable benching, so the Patriots will be searching for a new cornerback.

  37. Dallas Cowboys: Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia
    The Cowboys would love it if Sean Lee were healthy all the time, but his durability is always a concern. Here’s an insurance policy that makes sense.
