  1. Cleveland Browns: Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas State
    Cameron Erving has been a huge disappointment thus far, but he’s been playing out of position. If Alex Mack leaves, Erving can slide into center, opening up a hole at guard.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Tennessee Titans: D.J. White, CB, Georgia Tech
    Here’s more much-needed help for Tennessee’s secondary. If the Titans had a slightly worse pick in the first round, they’d target Vernon Hargreaves.

  3. San Francisco 49ers: Max Tuerk, C, USC
    The 49ers have absolutely nothing at center, as Marcus Martin is completely worthless. They have to target the center position during the offseason.

  4. San Diego Chargers: Jacoby Brissett, QB, N.C. State
    The only quarterback behind Philip Rivers on San Diego’s roster is Kellen Clemens. With Rivers entering the final years of his career, San Diego needs a developmental signal-caller.



  5. Baltimore Ravens: Carl Lawson, DE/OLB, Auburn
    The Ravens have to improve their pass rush, which has been absent in the wake of Terrell Suggs’ injury. Suggs won’t be around much longer.

  6. Dallas Cowboys: Jalen Mills, S, LSU
    Both Dallas safeties, J.J. Wilcox and Barry Church, will be impending free agents after the 2016 season, so this position could be addressed early in next April’s draft. Depth will be needed.

  7. Detroit Lions: Braxton Miller, WR, Ohio State
    There’s talk that Calvin Johnson could be leaving Detroit this offseason. Regardless, the Lions need some young blood at wide receiver.

  8. Chicago Bears: Chris Jones, DE/DT, Mississippi State
    A second defensive lineman in four rounds makes sense for the Bears, who continue to transition into their new 3-4 defense.



  9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Joshua Perry, DE/OLB, Ohio State
    A second pass-rusher for the Jaguars, as this is an area that they definitely need to address.

  10. Miami Dolphins: Landon Turner, G, North Carolina
    As I wrote earlier in my mock draft, the Dolphins are desperate at guard. Two upgrades are needed at the position.

  11. New Orleans Saints: Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson
    Ben Watson has been a great surprise for the Saints this year. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much left in the tank, so New Orleans needs to look for a successor.

  12. Oakland Raiders: Deion Jones, LB, LSU
    I’ve mocked Jaylon Smith to the Raiders on several occasions, but he just wasn’t available for them in this update. Help is needed at linebacker.



  13. Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon Doughty, QB, Western Kentucky
    It sounds like Sam Bradford will be back next year. The Eagles will need a better backup than Mark Sanchez.

  14. Buffalo Bills: Adam Gotsis, DE/DT, Georgia Tech
    I’ve mentioned earlier that the Bills need help at both defensive end and defensive tackle. Kyle Williams regressed this past season.

  15. Philadelphia Eagles: Paul Perkins, RB, UCLA
    I never thought the Eagles would need a running back prior to this season, but DeMarco Murray has been a huge disappointment.

  16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: KeiVarae Russell, CB, Notre Dame
    A second cornerback needs to be added, as the Buccaneers have a major weakness at the position.



  17. New York Giants: Miles Killebrew, S, Southern Utah
    The Giants’ pass defense has been atrocious this season. Their safety play has been horrific. This position could be addressed even earlier.

  18. Indianapolis Colts: Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia
    Mike Adams will turn 35 this offseason, so the Colts will need to think about bringing in a successor for him.

  19. Atlanta Falcons: Nick Vannett, TE, Ohio State
    Here’s another weapon for Matt Ryan, who just hasn’t been the same ever since losing Tony Gonzalez.

  20. New York Jets: Briean Boddy-Calhoun, CB, Minnesota
    Darrelle Revis is in decline, while Antonio Cromartie and Buster Skrine have been bust free-agent signings. Cornerback help is definitely needed.



  21. Houston Texans: Bryce Williams, TE, East Carolina
    Houston continues to bolster its anemic offense, as the tight end position will definitely need to be addressed.

  22. Washington Redskins: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
    Here’s more secondary help for the Redskins, who need to make fixing their pass defense a priority.

  23. Minnesota Vikings: Ricky Seals-Jones, WR, Texas A&M
    This is another weapon for Teddy Bridgewater, as Mike Wallace has predictably been underwhelming this season.

  24. Kansas City Chiefs: Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State
    The Chiefs extended Jah Reid for some reason, but they’ll still target a blocker in the middle rounds to shore up their offensive line depth.



  25. Seattle Seahawks: Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo
    Marshawn Lynch won’t be around for much longer, if this season is any indication. Thomas Rawls has proven himself, but the Seahawks could add someone to play behind Rawls.

  26. Pittsburgh Steelers: Tre Madden, RB, USC
    DeAngelo Williams has been a terrific backup for Le’Veon Bell. He’s nearing the end of his NFL career, however, so Pittsburgh will need a long-term No. 2 runner.

  27. Green Bay Packers: Kenyan Drake, RB, Alabama
    Another team that will be looking for running back help, the Packers have Eddie Lacy, who has been out of shape this year, and James Starks, who will be an impending free agent.

  28. Baltimore Ravens: Tony Conner, S, Ole Miss
    As the Ravens continue to improve their defense, they’ll need to look into upgrading the safety spot next to Will Hill.

  29. Cincinnati Bengals: William Likely, CB, Maryland
    Pacman Jones has been terrific this season, but with he and Leon Hall both older than 30, the Bengals will have to find some young blood at cornerback.

  30. Arizona Cardinals: Le’Raven Clark, OT/G, Texas Tech
    Someone to push D.J. Humphries, perhaps? It’s still early, but Humphries hasn’t looked like he can play in the NFL at all.

  31. New England Patriots: Aaron Green, RB, TCU
    I realize that the Patriots have incurred plenty of injuries, but the fact that they had to turn to the likes of Joey Iosefa and Steven Jackson means that they need help at running back.

  32. Carolina Panthers: DeAndre Houston-Carson, S, William & Mary
    This is an area in which the Panthers could use some depth, given that Roman Harper just turned 33.
