  1. Green Bay Packers: Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
    It doesn’t sound like Bryan Bulaga will be on the roster for much longer. The Packers may want to find a new starting right tackle for 2019 and beyond.

  2. New York Giants: Nic Shimonek, QB, Texas Tech
    If the Giants pass on a quarterback in the opening frame, they’ll likely take one in Rounds 3-5 as a developmental project.

  3. Indianapolis Colts: Sean Welsh, G/C, Iowa
    The Colts have a couple of holes on their offensive line, so they need to use multiple picks on blockers.



  4. Seattle Seahawks: Andrew Brown, DE/DT, Virginia
    With Michael Bennett and Sheldon Richardson gone, the Seahawks will have to spend some resources on retooling the defensive front.



  5. Denver Broncos: Breeland Speaks, DE/DT, Ole Miss
    Derek Wolfe has had trouble staying healthy, so here’s an insurance policy in case that continues.

  6. San Francisco 49ers: Chad Thomas, DE, Miami
    Teams are always looking for edge-rushing depth, and the 49ers could bring in someone to compete with Jeremiah Attaochu.

    Pick change; previously Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB

  7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: D.J. Reed, CB, Kansas State
    Brent Grimes has just one or two more years remaining with the Buccaneers, so here’s a potential future starter.

    Pick change; previously Tyrell Crosby, OT



  8. Chicago Bears: Skyler Phillips, G, Idaho State
    The Bears released talented guard Josh Sitton, so he’ll be missed unless Chicago finds a proper replacement for him. Two blockers could be added to aid the interior.

  9. Seattle Seahawks: Durham Smythe, TE, Notre Dame
    The Seahawks lost Jimmy Graham to the Packers this offseason, so a replacement could be obtained in the early or middle rounds.



  10. New Orleans Saints: Simmie Cobbs Jr., WR, Indiana
    The Saints won’t have Ted Ginn Jr. around much longer, while Willie Snead was a huge disappointment this past season. Here’s another receiver to go with Michael Thomas.

    Pick change; previously Tony Adams, C/G

  11. Pittsburgh Steelers: Tony Adams, C/G, N.C. State
    Ramon Foster will hit free agency next spring, so here’s a possible starter for 2019 and beyond.

    Pick change; previously Marcus Allen, S



  12. Washington Redskins: Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama
    The Redskins mostly have a strong offensive line, but they really could use an upgrade at center, especially with Spencer Long gone.

  13. Cleveland Browns: Dane Cruikshank, CB, Arizona
    The Browns added several cornerbacks in free agency, but they could stand to spend a mid-round pick on another player at the position for depth.



  14. Cincinnati Bengals: Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis
    The Bengals have several young receivers, but none of them have shown anything yet, so they could add a wideout in the middle rounds.

  15. Arizona Cardinals: Martez Carter, RB, Grambling
    A poor man’s Tarik Cohen, Martez Carter would be an interesting weapon to add behind David Johnson.




  16. Detroit Lions: Jayln Holmes, DE/DT, Ohio State
    Given Ezekiel Ansah’s injury history, the Lions could stand to add an edge rusher at some point.

    Pick change; previously D.J. Reed, CB

  17. Baltimore Ravens: Luke Falk, QB, Washington State
    The Ravens will likely be looking into adding a rookie quarterback in the middle rounds of this draft, as they don’t have anything behind Joe Flacco.

  18. Los Angeles Chargers: Brett Toth, OT, Army
    The Chargers can’t trust Russell Okung for the long term, so here’s a potential successor. Perhaps Brett Toth can take over once his service obligations are complete.

  19. Philadelphia Eagles: Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College
    The Eagles lost Patrick Robinson to the Saints, so they could think about bringing in another cornerback.

  20. New York Jets: Trey Johnson, CB, Villanova
    The Jets spent multiple early picks last year on safeties. They could do the same thing with their corners this April.

  21. Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Adams, RB, Notre Dame
    The Bengals lost Jeremy Hill this offseason, so they could stand to add another running back late in the draft for depth purposes.



  22. Oakland Raiders: Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M
    We’ll see if Obi Melifonwu pans out. I’m sure the Raiders will want some insurance just in case he doesn’t.

  23. Denver Broncos: Justin Jackson, RB, Northwestern
    The Broncos don’t seem pleased with their running back situation, so I expect them to address the position in Rounds 2-5.

    Pick change; previously Tyler Conklin, TE



  24. Carolina Panthers: Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State
    The Panthers could stand to upgrade their blocking, or at least find some depth on the offensive line.

  25. Tennessee Titans: Chandon Sullivan, CB, Georgia State
    Adoree Jackson played well for the Titans in his rookie campaign, while Logan Ryan performed at a high level. Malcolm Butler was a great addition. However, a late-round pick could be used for depth.

  26. Denver Broncos: Kameron Kelly, S, San Diego State
    The Broncos could add a third defensive back in this draft for depth and special-teams purposes.

  27. New Orleans Saints: Tray Matthews, S, Auburn
    The Saints probably won’t have Kenny Vaccaro back next year, so here’s a replacement.

  28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dante Pettis, WR, Washington
    There are reports circulating about the Steelers potentially trading Martavis Bryant, so here’s a possible replacement.

  29. Buffalo Bills: Fred Warner, LB, BYU
    The Bills had a very weak linebacking corps last year, so they could use as much help as possible there.

    Pick change; previously Kyle Hicks, RB

  30. Minnesota Vikings: Kylie Fitts, DE, Utah
    It never hurts to have too many edge rushers, and Brian Robison mentioned that he wants to retire after this upcoming season.

  31. Seattle Seahawks: Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia
    The Seahawks had major issues last year when Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright were hurt. They need depth in their linebacking corps.

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Troy Apke, S, Penn State
    Based on his contract, Rodney McLeod might be with the Eagles for only one more year. Here’s a potential replacement down the road.



  33. Cincinnati Bengals: Cole Madison, G, Washington State
    A third and much-needed offensive line upgrade for the Bengals, who desperately need to improve their blocking.

  34. Dallas Cowboys: Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State
    The Cowboys could be in the market for a mid-round cornerback after cutting Orlando Scandrick.

  35. Green Bay Packers: Avonte Maddox, CB, Pittsburgh
    The Packers need as much cornerback help as possible, so look for them to spend multiple picks on the position.

  36. Oakland Raiders: Michael Dickson, P, Texas
    The Raiders cut Marquette King, so they’ll be looking for a punter at some point on Day 3.

    Pick change; previously Dimitri Flowers, FB

  37. Green Bay Packers: Allen Lazard, WR, Iowa State
    A second receiver wouldn’t hurt, as the Packers really need to replace Jordy Nelson.
