  1. Tennessee Titans: Stephen Anderson, WR, California
    The Titans have met with Stephen Anderson on multiple occasions, and it would make sense for them to take him here, as they need a couple of receivers.

  2. Cleveland Browns: Robby Anderson, WR, Temple
    Another team that needs multiple receivers, the Browns have been connected to Robby Anderson.

  3. San Diego Chargers: Beniquez Brown, ILB, Mississippi State
    Manti Te’o has an expiring contract after the 2016 season, and the Chargers needed depth at inside linebacker anyway.

  4. Seattle Seahawks: Josh Woodrum, QB, Liberty
    The Seahawks don’t have a promising developmental quarterback on the roster, so they may want that to change.



  5. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jake Coker, QB, Alabama
    The only quarterback on Jacksonville’s roster besides Blake Bortles is Chad Henne. The Jaguars may want to think about developing another signal-caller.

  6. Miami Dolphins: Ryan Brown, DE, Mississippi State
    The Dolphins added Mario Williams this offseason, but they need to think about actually adding players who don’t get ticket discounts at the movie theater.

  7. Denver Broncos: Geronimo Allison, WR, Illinois
    The Broncos could use someone to pressure Cody Latimer, who has been disappointing thus far.

  8. Pittsburgh Steelers: Vernon Adams, QB, Oregon
    Vernon Adams will be considered in th later rounds, and Pittsburgh needs a reliable backup quarterback.



  9. Chicago Bears: Jakeem Grant, WR, Texas Tech
    We found out how thin the Bears are at receiver when both Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White were hurt last year. Something needs to be done about that.

  10. Miami Dolphins: Taveze Calhoun, CB, Mississippi State
    I had the Dolphins drafting a cornerback in Round 1, but they could stand to add more depth at the position.

  11. Washington Redskins: Steven Daniels, ILB, Boston College
    Inside linebacker is actually a big need I haven’t had the Redskins address yet.

  12. Philadelphia Eagles: Pearce Slater, OT, San Diego State
    The Eagles need a depth on the offensive line, and perhaps someone to step in at right tackle once Lane Johnson moves to the blind side in the future.



  13. Oakland Raiders: Perez Ford, LB, Northern Illinois
    Here’s more linebacking depth for the Raiders, as I had them address the area way too late in this mock.

  14. New York Jets: Devin Fuller, WR, UCLA
    I haven’t had the Jets address the receiver position quite yet, which is something they might do, considering that Brandon Marshall turned 32 last month.

  15. Detroit Lions: Greg Milhouse Jr., DT, Campbell
    Defensive tackle is an obvious weak spot for the Lions, so multiple selections could be used on the position.

  16. New Orleans Saints: Landon Turner, G, North Carolina
    I had the Saints selecting Jack Conklin in a previous update. That’s a potential pick for them because the guard position is a weakness.

  17. Atlanta Falcons: Jordan Lucas, S, Penn State
    Here’s another safety for a team that is desperate at the position. The Falcons might be interested in Jordan Lucas’ athleticism.

  18. Indianapolis Colts: Joel Stave, QB, Wisconsin
    The Colts need to develop a solid backup behind Andrew Luck, and Mr. Stave sounds like someone Ryan Grigson would like to insert into his b-, I mean roster.

  19. Minnesota Vikings: Brandon Wilds, RB, South Carolina
    The Vikings could stand to add a running back, given that Adrian Peterson is entering the final few years of his career.

  20. New York Jets: Cleveland Wallace III, CB, San Jose State
    Here’s another position the Jets haven’t touched yet despite having a top player there in his 30s.



  21. Washington Redskins: Michael Caputo, S, Wisconsin
    Bolstering the special teams the seventh round is never a bad idea, and the Redskins could use more secondary depth.

  22. New England Patriots: Keenan Reynolds, RB, Navy
    I think Bill Belichick is contractually obligated to take someone from the Naval Academy.

  23. Minnesota Vikings: Beau Sandland, TE, Montana State
    Kyle Rudolph hasn’t lived up to expectations, so the Vikings could obtain someone to push him.

  24. Cincinnati Bengals: Devin Lucien, WR, Arizona State
    A third receiver is definitely possible, considering what the Bengals lost this offseason.



  25. Pittsburgh Steelers: Ken Crawley, CB, Colorado
    The Steelers were projected to obtain a cornerback in the first round, but multiple selections could be used on the position, considering how much of a liability it is.

  26. Seattle Seahawks: Trevor Davis, WR, California
    The Seahawks re-signed Jermaine Kearse, but they could still take a late receiver for depth purposes.

  27. Green Bay Packers: Mitch Mathews, WR, BYU
    The Packers could draft a receiver a couple of rounds earlier than this, especially after what happened last year.

  28. Kansas City Chiefs: Roy Robertson-Harris, DE/OLB, UTEP
    Roy Robertson-Harris has been receiving a lot of late-round buzz, and Andy Reid may decide that he needs another pass-rusher.

  29. New England Patriots: David Morgan, TE, Texas-San Antonio
    The Patriots signed Martellus Bennett this offseason, but they could use a young tight end on the roster.

  30. Philadelphia Eagles: Jacobi Green, RB, Richmond
    The Eagles could obtain a running back much earlier than this after trading away DeMarco Murray.

  31. Carolina Panthers: Andrew Bonnet, FB, North Dakota State
    The Panthers may want to bring in someone to compete with Mike Tolbert, who declined this past season.

  32. Denver Broncos: Deon King, LB, Norfolk State
    Mr. Irrelevant will be someone no one has heard of, save for the Broncos, who have at least worked him out.
