  1. San Francisco 49ers: Richie Brown, ILB, Mississippi State
    The 49ers could take a linebacker much earlier than this, as they have a big need at the position.

    Pick change; previously Kyle Fuller, C

  2. Washington Redskins: Noah Brown, WR, Ohio State
    This is a bit late for Noah Brown, but the Redskins won’t complain, as they could stand to add a second receiver in this draft.

  3. Chicago Bears: Corey Clement, RB, Wisconsin
    The Bears could add some running back depth in the final couple of rounds of the 2017 NFL Draft.



  4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Knight, QB, Texas A&M
    The Jaguars need to draft a young quarterback at some point, given that Blake Bortles looks like a sunk cost.

    Pick change; previously C.J. Beathard, QB

  5. Miami Dolphins: Jonathan Calvin, DE, Mississippi State
    Given the uncertainty the Dolphins have at defensive end beyond 2017, it wouldn’t surprise me if they grabbed multiple edge rushers.

  6. New York Jets: Grover Stewart, NT, Albany State
    The Jets haven’t properly replaced Snacks Harrison, so they figure to take a nose tackle at some point.



  7. Los Angeles Chargers: Jake Replogle, DT, Purdue
    The Chargers need more personnel for their new 4-3 defense, so they could grab a defensive tackle earlier than this.

  8. Seattle Seahawks: Damore’ea Stringefellow, WR, Ole Miss
    Here’s an athletic player the Seahawks may want to take a chance on late in the draft.

  9. Cincinnati Bengals: Cameron Tom, C, Southern Miss
    Russell Bodine is an impending free agent after this season, so the Bengals could be looking for some insurance at center.



  10. Dallas Cowboys: Jahad Thomas, RB, Temple
    Alfred Morris was a disappointment last year, while Darren McFadden is always a question mark.

  11. New Orleans Saints: Michael Rector, WR, Stanford
    The Saints typically spend a late-round pick on a tall receiver, so this makes sense.

  12. Philadelphia Eagles: Brad Seaton, OT, Villanova
    The Eagles may take a chance on local product Brad Seaton, who could provide insurance if Lane Johnson is suspended again.



  13. Arizona Cardinals: Ryan Glasgow, DT, Michigan
    The Cardinals will need to find a replacement for the departed Calais Campbell at some point.

    Pick change; previously Richie Brown, LB

  14. Minnesota Vikings: Jeremy Sprinkle, TE, Arkansas
    The Vikings tried to sign a tight end in free agency, so they could go after a player at the position at some point in the 2017 NFL Draft.




  15. Carolina Panthers: Channing Stribling, CB, Michigan
    The Panthers haven’t addressed cornerback yet, which is probably a mistake. They’ll need to do so at some point.

  16. Los Angeles Rams: David Jones, S, Richmond
    The Rams have shown interest in David Jones, who can play special teams and provide depth at safety.

  17. Washington Redskins: De’Veon Smith, RB, Michigan
    The Redskins could address running back earlier than this, as Robert Kelley isn’t the greatest starter.

  18. Tennessee Titans: Jeremy Cutrer, CB, Middle Tennessee
    Local product Jeremy Cutrer makes sense for the Titans, who need to add multiple cornerbacks in this draft.

  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Marcus Sayles, CB, West Georgia
    Marcus Sayles has the athleticism the Buccaneers like, and a second corner is needed for Tampa.

  20. Denver Broncos: Jadar Johnson, S, Clemson
    T.J. Ward is an impending free agent, so this pick could provide some insurance for them.



  21. New England Patriots: Chase Roullier, C, Wyoming
    The Patriots could use some competition at center, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone if they added a player at the position earlier than this.

  22. Miami Dolphins: Taylor McNamara, TE, USC
    A try-hard, high-character player for the Dolphins at a position of need.

  23. New York Giants: Ryan Switzer, WR, North Carolina
    Victor Cruz is gone, so the Giants could select a receiver a few rounds earlier than this.



  24. Oakland Raiders: Ben Braden, G, Michigan
    Some interior offensive line depth wouldn’t hurt with Gabe Jackson hitting free agency next year.

  25. Houston Texans: Sojourn Shelton, CB, Wisconsin
    The Texans need all the help they can get at cornerback, so here’s some depth help at the position.

  26. Oakland Raiders: DeAngelo Brown, DT, Louisville
    Considering the issues the Raiders have at defensive tackle, a third player at the position shouldn’t surprise anyone.

  27. Kansas City Chiefs: Jerome Lane, WR, Akron
    The Chiefs could address the receiver position much earlier than this, as Jeremy Maclin may not be on the roster much longer.

  28. Dallas Cowboys: Seth Russell, QB, Baylor
    The Cowboys are in the market for a backup quarterback, so they could take one early on Day 3.

  29. Green Bay Packers: Boom Williams, RB, Kentucky
    I wrote earlier that the Packers addressed running back a bit too late, so here’s another option for them at the position.

  30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Treyvon Hester, DT, Toledo
    Here’s more defensive line depth for the Steelers, who have shown interest in Treyvon Hester.

  31. Atlanta Falcons: Robert Davis, WR, Georgia State
    Robert Davis is the sort of talented athlete the Falcons covet, and Taylor Gabriel will be a free agent next season.

  32. Detroit Lions: Ifeadi Odenigbo, DE, Northwestern
    The Lions bookend their draft class with defensive ends, as they attempt to fix their pedestrian pass rush.

  33. Cincinnati Bengals: Ishmael Zamaora, WR, Baylor
    I mentioned earlier that the Bengals want to double up on receivers. Tripling up works as well.



  34. Denver Broncos: Garrett Sickels, DE, Penn State
    I have no idea why Garrett Sickels declared early, but at least he gets drafted. The Broncos need pass-rushing depth.

  35. Denver Broncos: Hardy Nickerson Jr., LB, Illinois
    The Broncos start and end their draft with a linebacker, as Mr. Irrelevant is the son of former Jaguar Hardy Nickerson Sr.
