  1. Tennessee Titans: Josue Matias, G, Florida State
    The Titans need to protect their new quarterback. There’s been speculation that the disappointing Andy Levitre will be cut this offseason.

    Pick change; previously Markus Golden, DE/OLB

  2. Jacksonville Jaguars: La’el Collins, OT/G, LSU
    Blake Bortles has been terrible, but perhaps he’ll stop throwing tons of interceptions if he has better protection. The Jaguars need to improve their right tackle situation.

    Pick change; previously T.J. Clemmings, OT

  3. Oakland Raiders: Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
    Miles Burris is perhaps the worst starting linebacker in the NFL. The Raiders desperately need an upgrade in the middle of their defense.

  4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana
    The Buccaneers need to surround their new quarterback with more offensive talent. Doug Martin looks like a lost cause, while Charlie Sims hasn’t impressed very much.



  5. New York Jets: Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA
    As I wrote in Round 1, the Jets may have to take a chance on Brett Hundley at this spot if they don’t land one of the top two quarterbacks. They don’t really have a choice.

  6. Washington Redskins: Shawn Oakman, DE/DT, Baylor
    The Redskins could look into adding to their defensive line. Jason Hatcher is just a short-term rental, while Jarvis Jenkins is set to hit free agency this March.

    Some are saying that Shawn Oakman is a top-10 prospect, but they are making the mistake of not reading Charlie Campbell’s NFL Draft Rumor Mill, where Charlie reported that one NFL general manager considers Oakman to be a third-day prospect.

  7. New York Giants: T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama
    Rashad Jennings can’t stay healthy, while Andre Williams is just a basic plodder. The Giants could consider using a second-day pick on a running back.

    Pick change; previously Josue Matias, G

  8. Chicago Bears: Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami
    The Bears have a very poor linebacking corps that will only get worse shortly once Lance Briggs moves on. Chicago needs help on every level of its defense, so taking the best prospect available for its stop unit has to be the front office’s strategy.

  9. Atlanta Falcons: T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh
    The Jake Matthews pick looks like it’s working out, but the Falcons could stand to add another offensive tackle because Sam Baker (and everyone else) is always hurt.

    Pick change; previously T.J. Yeldon, RB

  10. Carolina Panthers: Arie Kouandjio, G, Alabama
    Most people focus on Carolina’s receiving corps, but the team’s offensive line can’t block whatsoever for Cam Newton, who’s had no chance in some games this year. He was sacked a whopping nine times against the Eagles! That absolutely must change for the Panthers to be a playoff contender again (in years in which the divisional leader isn’t 6-9, of course).

    Pick change; previously Sammie Coates, WR

  11. St. Louis Rams: Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
    Brian Quick emerged as a solid starting receiver – though he’s finished for the year – while Tavon Austin can be used on trick plays, but the Rams need to find another wideout to put into the lineup.

  12. Minnesota Vikings: Jaquiski Tartt, S, Samford
    The Vikings have a trio of talented defensive backs in Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes and Captain Munnerlyn, but they could use a fourth.



  13. Cleveland Browns: Danny Shelton, NT, Washington
    Ahtyba Rubin is an impending free agent this March. Here’s a replacement if the Browns can’t retain him. The Browns made Jeremy Hill look like the second coming of Walter Payton, so Danny Shelton could definitely help.

  14. Miami Dolphins: Alex Carter, CB, Stanford
    The Dolphins have issues at the cornerback position beyond Brent Grimes. I don’t think they can go another season with Cortland Finnegan as one of their starters.

    Pick change; previously Arie Kouandjio, G

  15. San Francisco 49ers: A.J. Cann, G, South Carolina
    Alex Boone and the 49ers couldn’t agree on a contract prior to the season, so it’s possible that next year could be Boone’s last in San Francisco. If so, a replacement at guard will be needed.

  16. Houston Texans: Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
    The Texans could target the wide receiver position in early rounds this upcoming April. Andre Johnson won’t be on the team much longer, so Houston will have to find a new starting wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins.

    Pick change; previously Jalen Collins, CB



  17. Buffalo Bills: Devin Funchess, TE, Michigan
    I’ve been saying the Bills need an upgrade at the tight end position for years now. Perhaps they’ll finally listen.

  18. Kansas City Chiefs: Rashad Greene, WR, Florida State
    Once again, zero touchdowns to wide receivers. The Chiefs obviously need help at wideout. Dwayne Bowe is just a No. 2 receiver masquerading as a top target, while none of the other receivers are very skilled. The Chiefs might be regretting passing on Kelvin Benjamin.

  19. San Diego Chargers: Tre Jackson, G, Florida State
    San Diego’s offensive line played well last year, but it has been a disappointment thus far in 2014. The interior needs to get better.

  20. Philadelphia Eagles: Cody Prewitt, S, Ole Miss
    Nate Allen has been a huge liability, as he was responsible for Arizona’s game-winning touchdown a few weeks ago. The Eagles are in desperate need of an upgrade at safety.



  21. New Orleans Saints: Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
    The Saints have had major defensive issues this season. Some of their players can’t tackle whatsoever. Meanwhile, the corners, particularly Patrick Robinson and Corey White, haven’t been able to cover anyone.

    Pick change; previously Alex Carter, CB

  22. Baltimore Ravens: Nelson Agholor, WR, USC
    Steve Smith looked done last year, but he’s actually trying now, and it’s paying off for Baltimore. However, Steve Smith won’t last much longer, while Torrey Smith is an impending free agent, so the Ravens will have to find a new receiver.

  23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE/OLB, UCLA
    The Steelers hate drafting edge rushers early on because of scheme transition issues, but they really need to upgrade their pass rush. It’s been better lately, but Pittsburgh can’t count on James Harrison playing well forever.

  24. Dallas Cowboys: Mario Edwards, DE/DT, Florida State
    Dallas’ defense was much better than anyone anticipated, but it’s finally being exposed. 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.

    Pick change; previously Gerrod Holliman, S



  25. Cincinnati Bengals: Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon
    The Bengals are especially weak at center, where rookie Russell Bodine has struggled for the most part in 2014.

  26. Detroit Lions: Carl Davis, DT, Iowa
    The Lions suddenly need to look at defensive tackles. Ndamukong Suh is entering his contract year, while Nick Fairley has issues with lethargy.

    Pick change; previously Mario Edwards, DT

  27. Indianapolis Colts: Mike Davis, RB, South Carolina
    Ahmad Bradshaw performed well this year, but the Colts can’t count on him to stay healthy. Trent Richardson, meanwhile, hasn’t come close to living up to expectations. If Dan Herron doesn’t establish himself to close out the year, Indianapolis could look at a running back early.

  28. Arizona Cardinals: Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
    Marcus Peters was recently dismissed from the team. The Cardinals have taken chances on troubled players before, so perhaps they’d give Peters a shot. Peters, who has top-15 talent, could fill in for Antonio Cromartie if the stud corner isn’t re-signed.

  29. Green Bay Packers: Danielle Hunter, DE/OLB, LSU
    Julius Peppers has been a natural fit for the Packers, but he’s just a short-term rental. Green Bay may want to add another pass-rusher for the future.

    Pick change; previously Ameer Abdullah, RB

  30. Denver Broncos: Gerod Holliman, S, Louisville
    Rahim Moore is an impending free agent in March, so here’s a potential replacement for him.

    Pick change; previously Karl Joseph, S

  31. Seattle Seahawks: Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
    Russell Wilson has struggled throwing the ball at times this season. He has no one to pass too, so it’s difficult to blame him. That needs to change.

  32. New England Patriots: Stefon Diggs, WR, Maryland
    The Patriots have been unstoppable on offense lately, but they still need to find some help for Tom Brady in the receiving corps. Relying on the likes of Brandon LaFell doesn’t sound like a good proposition.
