  1. Cleveland Browns: Will Clapp, C/G, LSU
    The Browns could stand to add some offensive line depth, and Will Clapp can play multiple positions on the front.

  2. Los Angeles Rams: Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa
    The Rams want to use a mid-round pick on a running back so that Todd Gurley’s workload isn’t as heavy.

    Pick change; previously Justin Jackson, RB

  3. Houston Texans: Keke Coutee, WR, Texas Tech
    The Texans may add some depth to their receiving corps, as they need some help beyond DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

    Pick change; previously Martez Carter, RB



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Rashaan Gaulden, CB, Tennessee
    The Colts need three cornerbacks, and it would be a huge mistake if they left the draft without taking two.

    Pick change; previously Will Richardson, OT



  5. New York Jets: Trey Johnson, CB, Villanova
    The Jets spent multiple early picks last year on safeties. They could do the same thing with their corners this April.

    Pick change; previously Jeff Holland, DE/OLB

  6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Matthew Thomas, LB, Florida State
    Kwon Alexander is set to hit free agency next spring, so here’s an insurance policy in case he leaves.

    Pick change; previously Shaquem Griffin, LB

  7. Chicago Bears: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Miss
    It wouldn’t hurt the Bears to spend a couple of resources on receivers, just in case Kevin White and Cameron Meredith don’t recover from injuries.



  8. Arizona Cardinals: Derrick Nnadi, NT, Florida State
    The Cardinals lost Xavier Williams to the Chiefs, so they could stand to add a new nose tackle.

  9. Los Angeles Rams: Greg Senat, OT, Wagner
    Andrew Whitworth won’t be around much longer, so the Rams need to find his successor.

    Pick change; previously Timon Parris, G



  10. San Francisco 49ers: Darius Phillips, CB, Western Michigan
    The 49ers signed Richard Sherman this offseason, but they still need to add another cornerback.

    Pick change; previously Armani Watts, S

  11. Oakland Raiders: Dimitri Flowers, FB, Oklahoma
    Jon Gruden discussed the importance of a fullback in his offense, so look for the Raiders to spend a third-day pick on one.



  12. Green Bay Packers: Kevin Toliver, CB, LSU
    The Packers must put a ton of energy into upgrading their cornerback situation, as they have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL.

    Pick change; previously Davontae Harris, CB

  13. Buffalo Bills: Dalton Schultz, TE, Stanford
    The Bills could stand to add another offensive weapon for their new quarterback beyond D.J. Chark.

    Pick change; previously Trayvon Henderson, S



  14. Cleveland Browns: Shaun Dion Hamilton, LB, Alabama
    The Browns have some talent in their linebacking corps, but the players there mostly disappointed in 2017.

  15. New Orleans Saints: Christian Campbell, CB, Penn State
    Patrick Robinson should turn out to be a nice signing, but he’s in his 30s, so he’s just a short-term solution.




  16. Baltimore Ravens: Tyler Conklin, TE, Central Michigan
    The Ravens signed Ben Watson, but they obviously need to find a long-term solution at tight end.

    Pick change; previously John Kelly, RB

  17. Los Angeles Chargers: Chase Edmonds, RB, Fordham
    The Chargers should add a running back behind Melvin Gordon, as they need a viable reserve.

    Pick change; previously Brett Toth, OT

  18. Dallas Cowboys: Phillip Lindsay, RB, Colorado
    The Cowboys could lose Alfred Morris to free agency this offseason. If so, here’s a replacement.

  19. Dallas Cowboys: Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State
    The Cowboys added a couple of cornerbacks in the draft last year, but they could still stand to add one more for depth in the wake of Orlando Scandrick’s release.

    Pick change; previously Daurice Fountain, WR

  20. Los Angeles Rams: Dejon Allen, G, Hawaii
    The Rams could stand to get better play out of their right guard, so here’s a potential upgrade down the road.

    Pick change; previously Ade Aruna, DE

  21. Los Angeles Rams: Joe Ostman, DE, Central Michigan
    Here’s yet another edge rusher for a team that is so desperate for them.

    Pick change; previously Javon Wims, WR



  22. Kansas City Chiefs: Alex McGough, QB, Florida International
    The Rams may want to think about finding another young quarterback so that they eventually can have a competent No. 2 behind Patrick Mahomes.

  23. Carolina Panthers: Justin Jackson, RB, Northwestern
    The Panthers lost Jonathan Stewart this offseason, so they’ll need someone new to pair with Christian McCaffrey.

    Pick change; previously Deon Yelder, TE



  24. New England Patriots: Logan Woodside, QB, Toledo
    It’s not impossible that the Patriots will use an early and a late pick on quarterbacks, as they desperately need to find Tom Brady’s successor.

    Pick change; previously Chase Edmonds, RB

  25. Tennessee Titans: Jullian Taylor, DT, Temple
    The Titans are looking to add some talent to their defensive line at some point, and they could do so earlier than this.

    Pick change; previously Avonte Maddox, CB

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Taylor Hearn, G, Clemson
    The Falcons’ lone hole on the offensive line is at right guard, which could be addressed much earlier than this.

  27. New Orleans Saints: Korey Cunningham, OT, Cincinnati
    Zach Strief retired, so given Terron Armstead’s injury history, the Saints should be looking at a third-day tackle.

  28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: James Looney, DT, California
    The Buccaneers added some veterans to their defensive line this offseason, but they could still be interested in acquiring some youth there.

    Pick change; previously Levi Wallace, CB

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ralph Webb, RB, Vanderbilt
    Chris Ivory is gone, so the Jaguars may want to add another running back for depth.

  30. Minnesota Vikings: Jack Cichy, LB, Wisconsin
    The Vikings are looking for linebacker depth, and they like Jack Cichy.

  31. Washington Redskins: Nic Shimonek, QB, Texas Tech
    Alex Smith will be Washington’s starting quarterback for the next couple of seasons, but the Redskins need to find a young signal-caller to groom as an eventual replacement.

    Pick change; previously Colby Gossett, G

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Jermaine Carter, LB, Maryland
    Given Jordan Hicks’ injury history, the Eagles need to add some depth at linebacker.

    Pick change; previously Chandon Sullivan, CB



  33. Green Bay Packers: Allen Lazard, WR, Iowa State
    Here’s another receiver, as the Packers need to get younger at the position.

  34. Dallas Cowboys: Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State
    This is late for Tyquan Lewis, but the Cowboys will take it, as they’ll want to add some depth to their edge rush.

    Pick change; previously Chris Herndon, TE

  35. Miami Dolphins: Kendrick Norton, DT, Miami
    The Dolphins will have to attempt to replace Ndamukong Suh at some point during the draft.

    Pick change; previously Leon Jacobs, LB

  36. New England Patriots: Braxton Berrios, WR, Miami
    Braxton Berrios is the exact type of receiver Bill Belichick loves having in his offense.

    Pick change; previously Joseph Noteboom, OT

  37. Houston Texans: Tanner Lee, QB, Nebraska
    The Texans would like to groom a young quarterback behind Deshaun Watson so that all hope isn’t lost again if Watson goes down.

  38. Oakland Raiders: Jaleel Scott, WR, New Mexico State
    The Raiders needed a receiver before the whole Michael Crabtree-Jordy Nelson “exchange,” so adding a second wideout in the draft makes sense.

    Pick change; previously Matthew Thomas, LB

  39. Minnesota Vikings: Davontae Harris, CB, Illinois State
    Here’s even more secondary depth for the Vikings, who were torched by Nick Foles in the NFC Championship.

    Pick change; previously Michael Joseph, CB

  40. Houston Texans: Timon Parris, G/OT, Stony Brook
    The Texans need as many quality blockers as possible to protect Deshaun Watson.

    Pick change; previously Jordan Lasley, WR

  41. Baltimore Ravens: Dylan Cantrell, WR, Texas Tech
    Given Joe Flacco’s lack of weaponry, it should surprise no one if the Ravens add multiple receivers.

  42. Oakland Raiders: M.J. Stewart, CB, North Carolina
    The Raiders could take a couple of cornerbacks late in the draft if they don’t address the position early.

    Pick change; previously Jaleel Scott, WR

  43. Oakland Raiders: Grant Haley, CB, Penn State
    Here’s even more secondary help for the Raiders, who really need to attack this area during the offseason.

  44. Minnesota Vikings: Quentin Poling, LB, Ohio
    The Vikings will likely use a late-round pick for their linebacker depth issues.

    Pick change; previously Grant Haley, CB
