  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA
    Gerald McCoy is the only Buccaneer putting consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. That needs to change, especially considering the other quarterbacks in the division.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Tennessee Titans: Hauoli Kikaha, DE/OLB, Washington
    The Titans have to find tons of defensive help. One major need in particular is a pass-rushing upgrade because Kamerion Wimbley is not getting the job done.

  3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Cedric Ogbuhei, OT, Texas A&M
    Blake Bortles was terrible as a rookie, but perhaps he’ll stop throwing tons of interceptions if he has better protection. The Jaguars need to improve their right tackle situation.

    Cedric Ogbuhei falls to the third round because he tore his ACL. He was a late-first, early-second-round prospect to begin with.

  4. Oakland Raiders: Gerod Holliman, S, Louisville
    Charles Woodson said he’s coming back next year, but his play slipped late in 2014. A long-term solution is needed at one of the safety positions.



  5. Washington Redskins: Durell Eskridge, S, Syracuse
    The issues the Redskins have in their secondary are pretty well documented. They were counting on Ryan Clark this past year, which proved to be disastrous because the former Steeler is way past his prime.

  6. New York Jets: Alex Carter, CB, Stanford
    How pissed will Rex Ryan be if the Jets finally add some talented corners after completely ignoring the position last offseason, and he’s not there anymore? At least he’ll be able to get revenge twice per year. Go here for my grade for the Bills hiring Rex Ryan.

  7. Chicago Bears: Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
    Kyle Fuller looked great back when he was healthy – he completely shut down Kelvin Benjamin and other solid receivers – but the Bears will need another corner with Charles Tillman likely done.

  8. St. Louis Rams: Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon
    Another offensive line upgrade for the Rams. They really need help at center.

  9. Atlanta Falcons: Nick O’Leary, TE, Florida State
    The Falcons missed Tony Gonzalez this year. It would’ve helped Matt Ryan if he had a solid intermediate target to throw to.

  10. New York Giants: Duke Johnson, RB, Miami
    I don’t think the Giants will go out of their way to take a running back, but Duke Johnson is too good to pass up at this juncture. He could complement Andre Williams well, as the oft-injured Rashad Jennings can’t be trusted.

  11. New Orleans Saints: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, CB, Oregon
    Another cornerback is definitely a possibility. The team desperately has to upgrade its pass defense, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone if the Saints double up on corners.

    Pick change; previously Steve Nelson, CB

  12. Minnesota Vikings: Steve Nelson, CB, Oregon State
    The Vikings could use an early selection on a cornerback so that they have a long-term starter across from Xavier Rhodes.

    Pick change; previously T.J. Yeldon, RB



  13. Cleveland Browns: Ty Montgomery, WR, Stanford
    Considering the state of the Browns’ receiving corps, I could see them doubling up on the position this April.

  14. Miami Dolphins: Laken Tomlinson, G, Duke
    The Dolphins fixed the tackle position last offseason. Now, they have to focus on the interior of the offensive line, which is in pretty bad shape.

  15. San Francisco 49ers: Ben Koyack, TE, Notre Dame
    Vernon Davis has just one year left on his contract, so he won’t be around in San Francisco much longer. Vance McDonald, meanwhile, has been a disappointment. The 49ers may want to use a selection on a tight end.

  16. Kansas City Chiefs: Justin Hardy, WR, East Carolina
    It’s amazing that the Chiefs went the entire year without having any of their receivers score a single touchdown. Alex Smith was partly to blame, but the receiving corps was just abysmal.



  17. Buffalo Bills: Chris Hackett, S, TCU
    The Bills had Da’Norris Searcy step in admirably as a replacement for the New Orleans-bound Jairus Byrd, but Searcy Lannister is now a free agent as well.

  18. Houston Texans: Corey Robinson, OT, South Carolina
    The Texans want to upgrade the right tackle position, as Derek Newton has not been getting the job done.

  19. San Diego Chargers: Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
    The Chargers could use some help at receiver, as Malcom Floyd will be 34 next season, while Eddie Royal is an impending free agent.

  20. Philadelphia Eagles: Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon
    Another Oregon player for Chip Kelly. This one can upgrade Todd Herremans at right guard and then move to tackle once Jason Peters retires.



  21. Cincinnati Bengals: Lorenzo Mauldin, DE/OLB, Louisville
    The Bengals’ pass rush was inconsistent this past year, as the team has missed Michael Johnson’s presence. Perhaps they’ll spend an early-round selection on a defensive end.

    Pick change; previously Sean Hickey, OT/G

  22. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Davis, RB, South Carolina
    Andre Ellington can’t carry the load by himself, and the Cardinals need a new No. 2 running back anyway.

  23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Trey Flowers, DE/OLB, Arkansas
    The Steelers hate drafting edge rushers early on because of scheme transition issues, but they really need to upgrade their pass rush. It was better at the end of the season, but Pittsburgh can’t count on James Harrison playing well forever.

    Pick change; previously Derron Smith, S

  24. Detroit Lions: Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State
    Reggie Bush won’t be around much longer, so the Lions will need to find someone to split the load with Joique Bell.



  25. Carolina Panthers: Josh Harper, WR, Fresno State
    The Panthers are so desperate at the receiver position that they could double up during the draft.

  26. Baltimore Ravens: Buck Allen, RB, USC
    I imagine the Ravens will want to address the running back position at some point, even if Justin Forsett is re-signed. I can’t see Bernard Pierce being around much longer.

    Pick change; previously Ifo Ekrpe-Olomu, CB

  27. Dallas Cowboys: Gabe Wright, DT, Auburn
    Dallas’ defense was much better than anyone anticipated, but it was exposed during a stretch during the latter part of the season. There are still some weaknesses that need to be addressed – particularly in the interior of the defensive line, where Nick Hayden needs to be upgraded.

  28. Denver Broncos: Shaquille Mason, G, Georgia Tech
    Here’s more offensive line help for the Broncos, who need to upgrade the guard position in addition to the center spot if Orlando Franklin leaves via free agency.

  29. Indianapolis Colts: Derron Smith, S, Fresno State
    The Colts may want to add safety depth in the middle of the draft because of some expiring contracts, perhaps selecting a player who will be able to start there in a couple of years.

    Pick change; previously Trey Flowers, DE/OLB

  30. Green Bay Packers: Jacoby Glenn, CB, Central Florida
    The Packers have three key cornerbacks hitting free agency by next March. They’ll have to replenish depth at the position and find a future starter.

  31. Seattle Seahawks: Danielle Hunter, DE/OLB, LSU
    The Seahawks had absolutely no pass rush once Cliff Avril left the Super Bowl with a concussion. They need pass-rushing depth.

  32. New England Patriots: D.J. Humphries, OT/G, Florida
    Bill Belichick loves versatile offensive linemen, and he’s definitely not opposed to taking players from Florida, so this selection makes a ton of sense. Belichick could spend multiple picks to fortify his front line.
