  1. Miami Dolphins: Dane Cruikshank, CB, Arizona
    The Dolphins are in need of help in their back seven, as they have to find upgrades at linebacker and cornerback.

    Pick change; previously Jordan Whitehead, S (CLE)

  2. New York Giants: M.J. Stewart, CB, North Carolina
    Eli Apple clashed with the previous coaching staff. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is gone. The Giants will have to find some help at cornerback.

    Pick change; previously Dante Pettis, WR

  3. Houston Texans: Dalton Schultz, TE, Stanford
    The Texans have been searching for a consistent threat at tight end since Owen Daniels departed. Perhaps this is the solution.



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Will Clapp, C/G, LSU
    The Colts need multiple upgrades to their offensive line, as they have to get better at both guard and right tackle.

  5. Chicago Bears: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Miss
    Chicago will be signing Allen Robinson, but the team could still stand to obtain a receiver in the middle rounds.



  6. Denver Broncos: Keke Coutee, WR, Texas Tech
    It appears as though the Broncos are going to keep Demaryius Thomas for one more season, but he doesn’t appear to have much time remaining in Denver.

  7. New York Jets: DaeSean Hamilton, WR, Penn State
    The Jets needed a receiver entering the offseason, but now they should find two in the wake of Robby Anderson’s legal troubles.

    Pick change; previously Lorenzo Carter, DE/OLB



  8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama
    The Buccaneers re-signed Brent Grimes, but that was just to a 1-year deal. They’ll have to find a successor for the 35-year-old.

    Pick change; previously Will Clapp, C/G

  9. Denver Broncos: Rashaan Gaulden, CB, Tennessee
    Aqib Talib won’t be on the Broncos much longer, so Denver may want to use a mid-round pick on a cornerback.



  10. Oakland Raiders: Marcell Frazier, DE, Missouri
    The Raiders could stand to add an edge rusher in the middle rounds, as their pass rush isn’t great.

    Pick change; previously M.J. Stewart, CB

  11. Los Angeles Rams: Sean Welsh, G/C, Iowa
    The Rams have a great offensive line, but their one weakness is at right guard, which is a position they can address at this juncture.



  12. Cincinnati Bengals: Chase Litton, QB, Marshall
    Marvin Lewis said he wanted to start from scratch. Does that mean finding a new quarterback early in the 2018 NFL Draft?

  13. Washington Redskins: Mark Walton, RB, Miami
    The Redskins could use a mid-round pick on a running back, as they don’t have any exciting options at the position.



  14. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh
    Morgan Burnett is a free agent, so the Packers will need to find a replacement if he signs elsewhere this offseason.

    Pick change; previously Dane Cruikshank, CB

  15. Chicago Bears: Danny Johnson, CB, Southern
    I have the Bears selecting a cornerback in the first round, but they could double up on the position because it’s such a problem area for them.




  16. Dallas Cowboys: Kyzir White, S, West Virginia
    The Cowboys have a need at safety that they have to fill, so they could pursue a player at the position earlier than this.

  17. Detroit Lions: Jayln Holmes, DE, Ohio State
    Ziggy Ansah was franchised tagged, so he’ll be around next year. It could be possible that 2018 could be his final year in Detroit, however, so a potential successor is needed.

    Pick change; previously Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE/OLB

  18. Baltimore Ravens: Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama
    Alex Collins isn’t a bad running back, but he’s nothing special. The Ravens need a new lead back.

  19. Los Angeles Chargers: Shaquem Griffin, LB, Central Florida
    The Chargers have a great defense, but they need to bolster their linebacking corps. Shaquem Griffin was tremendous at the combine, and he could come off the board at some point in the third round.

    Pick change; previously Mike White, QB

  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: Dante Pettis, WR, Washington
    The Bills don’t have very many picks remaining as a result of the proposed trade with the Giants. One of the selections should be used on a receiver to help Sam Darnold.

    Pick change; previously Mason Rudolph, QB



  22. Kansas City Chiefs: Dorian O’Daniel, LB, Clemson
    The Chiefs lost Derrick Johnson this offseason, so they’ll need to find a new player at the position.

  23. Cleveland Browns: Tony Adams, C/G, N.C. State
    The Browns could stand to add some offensive line depth, and Tony Adams can play multiple positions on the front.

    Pick change; previously Justin Jones, DT



  24. Kansas City Chiefs: Holton Hill, CB, Texas
    The Chiefs acquired this selection in the Marcus Peters trade, so they might as well use it to find Peters’ replacement.

  25. Tennessee Titans: Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB, Washington State
    Brian Orakpo appears to be slowing down a bit, while Kevin Dodd hasn’t shown that he can be an NFL-caliber player yet. There’s a good chance the Titans spend an early draft choice on an edge rusher to start across from Derrick Morgan.

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Chad Thomas, DE, Miami
    The Falcons could lose Adrian Clayborn to free agency this spring. If so, they’ll be looking for a replacement in free agency or the first half of the 2018 NFL Draft.

  27. New Orleans Saints: Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State
    The Saints could stand to add another edge rusher across from Cameron Jordan, as Alex Okafor is a free agent coming off a torn Achilles.

  28. San Francisco 49ers: Justin Jones, DT, N.C. State
    The 49ers could stand to add another interior offensive lineman to help them put the clamps on Todd Gurley.

    Pick change; previously Jayln Holmes, DE

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State
    The Jaguars might be losing Aaron Colvin to free agency, so they’ll have to find a new third cornerback to go along with Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye.

  30. 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.

  31. Miami Dolphins: Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
    Miami’s offensive line is an absolute mess. Laremy Tunsil has never adjusted to left tackle. Center Mike Pouncey needs hip surgery. Right tackle Ja’Wuan James could be traded. Here’s a replacement for the latter.

    Pick change; previously Scott Quessenberry, G

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State
    Trey Burton is a free agent and could command a big price tag because of his potential. Here’s a replacement.



  33. Green Bay Packers: Genard Avery, LB, Memphis
    Ted Thompson didn’t put the greatest focus into bolstering the linebacking corps. Perhaps the new general manager will take a different approach.

  34. Arizona Cardinals: Scott Quessenberry, G, UCLA
    The Cardinals need to add multiple upgrades to their atrocious offensive line.

    Pick change; previously Nic Shimonek, QB

  35. Los Angeles Rams: Uchenna Nwosu, DE/OLB, USC
    I could see the Rams adding two or three edge rushers this April, as they really don’t have much at the position.

  36. New England Patriots: Chase Edmonds, RB, Fordham
    The Patriots will likely be in the market for a new running back, as both Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead are set to hit free agency.

  37. Dallas Cowboys: B.J. Hill, DT, N.C. State
    The Cowboys would like to enhance their interior pass rush, so this is a player they could obtain in the middle rounds.

    Pick change; previously Nathan Shepherd, DT
