  1. New England Patriots: Chris Warren, RB, Texas
    Chris Warren seems like a good fit in New England’s scheme, so he could be a late-round pick of theirs.

  2. Pittsburgh Steelers: Richie James, WR, Middle Tennessee State
    Once again, the Steelers could lose Martavis Bryant, so they’ll need to add some players to their receiving corps.

  3. Indianapolis Colts: Khalil McKenzie, DT, Tennessee
    The Colts lost Johnathan Hankins this offseason, so here’s someone new for their 4-3.



  4. Houston Texans: Chris Worley, LB, Ohio State
    The Texans could use a late-round pick on a linebacker with Brian Cushing gone.



  5. San Francisco 49ers: Frank Ginda, LB, San Jose State
    The 49ers needed linebacker help even before Reuben Foster got into legal trouble.

  6. Chicago Bears: Martez Carter, RB, Grambling
    There’s some talk that Jordan Howard could be traded.

  7. Minnesota Vikings: Jake Wieneke, WR, South Dakota State
    The Vikings could use another receiver as an insurance policy, as Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are so important to their offense.



  8. Seattle Seahawks: Ito Smith, RB, Southern Miss
    The Seahawks could use multiple picks on running backs, given how anemic their ground attack is.

  9. Miami Dolphins: Trey Quinn, WR, SMU
    The Dolphins could find a replacement for Jarvis Landry sooner, but this makes sense.

  10. Oakland Raiders: Darrel Williams, RB, LSU
    The Raiders have some aging running backs on their roster, so they’ll need to add some youth at the position.

  11. Miami Dolphins: Cole Boozer, OT, Temple
    The Dolphins need to do something – scratch that, many things – about their atrocious offensive line.

    Pick change; previously Dave Steinmetz, OT



  12. Jacksonville Jaguars: Skai Moore, LB, South Carolina
    The Jaguars could stand to add a linebacker in the seventh round in the wake of Paul Posluszny’s retirement.

  13. Washington Redskins: Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn
    Will this finally be the year the Redskins fix their kicking woes?



  14. Green Bay Packers: J’Mon Moore, WR, Missouri
    It seems like the Packers will use multiple selections to help their receiving corps.

  15. Kansas City Chiefs: Foye Oluokon, LB, Yale
    The Chiefs could spend multiple picks on linebackers with Derrick Johnson gone.



  16. Carolina Panthers: Javon Wims, WR, Georgia
    The Panthers bookend their draft with receivers, as they need to find as many weapons as possible for Cam Newton.

  17. New York Jets: Vyncint Smith, WR, Limestone
    The Jets need as many offensive threats as possible for their rookie quarterback.




  18. Dallas Cowboys: Christian Sam, LB, Arizona State
    Despite the Leighton Vander Esch projection, the Cowboys could use another pick on a linebacker for depth purposes.

  19. Detroit Lions: Matthew Gono, G, Wesley
    The Lions could be in search of more offensive line depth in the final round.

  20. Arizona Cardinals: Ade Aruna, DE, Tulane
    The Cardinals could address their edge-rushing needs as early as the opening round. This also is a logical pick.

  21. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Thomas, TE, Mississippi State
    Jimmy Graham hasn’t exactly been the healthiest player over the past several seasons.

  22. San Francisco 49ers: Byron Pringle, WR, Kansas State
    Some late-round receiving help makes sense for the 49ers, who need to add more weapons.

  23. Washington Redskins: Quin Blanding, S, Virginia
    Here’s someone who can help the Redskins’ special teams. More secondary depth doesn’t hurt either.



  24. Carolina Panthers: Tre Herndon, CB, Vanderbilt
    Given how desperate the Panthers are to upgrade their secondary, they may want to use multiple picks on cornerbacks.

  25. Kansas City Chiefs: Andre Chachere, CB, San Jose State
    The Chiefs could spend a late-round pick on cornerback depth, as their secondary is a bit of a concern.



  26. Atlanta Falcons: Kurt Benkert, QB, Virginia
    The Falcons need to develop a solid No. 2 quarterback behind Matt Ryan. They’ve shown interest in Kurt Benkert.

  27. New Orleans Saints: Cedrick Wilson, WR, Boise State
    The Saints could add a receiver in the late rounds in case Cameron Meredith’s health doesn’t hold up.

  28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Greg Gilmore, DT, LSU
    The Steelers may use their final pick on some depth for their defensive line, and this is a player they’ve shown interest in.

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Malik Reaves, CB, Villanova
    The Jaguars lost Aaron Colvin this offseason, so they’ll need to add a cornerback at some point.

  30. Seattle Seahawks: Poona Ford, DT, Texas
    The Seahawks have to use numerous picks on the defensive line after losing several players there this offseason.

  31. Cincinnati Bengals: Tegray Scales, LB, Indiana
    The Bengals could use one of their seventh-round picks to find linebacker depth.

  32. Seattle Seahawks: Keith Kirkwood, WR, Temple
    The Seahawks will be looking to add receiving depth after losing Paul Richardson this offseason.

  33. Los Angeles Chargers: Chase Edmonds, RB, Fordham
    The Chargers should add a running back behind Melvin Gordon, as they need a viable reserve.

    Pick change; previously Aaron Evans, OT

  34. Cincinnati Bengals: Jacob Martin, DE, Temple
    There’s nothing wrong with adding as much pass-rushing depth as possible, and the Bengals could use help in that department.



  35. Cincinnati Bengals: Jeremy Reaves, S, South Alabama
    Cincinnati could also use better depth in the secondary.

  36. Arizona Cardinals: Parry Nickerson, CB, Tulane
    Arizona needs some cornerback depth, which they could address late.

  37. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jordan Thomas, CB, Oklahoma
    The Buccaneers should select a couple of cornerbacks to help with their problems at the position.

  38. Atlanta Falcons: Donnie Ernsberger, FB, Western Michigan
    The Falcons seem like they’ll be looking for a new fullback at some point on Day 3.
