  1. Cleveland Browns: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Miss
    Given that the Browns don’t really have a reliable receiver on the roster outside of Jarvis Landry, they could spend multiple draft picks on wideouts.

  2. New England Patriots: Chase Edmonds, RB, Fordham
    The Patriots will likely be in the market for a new running back, as both Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead are set to hit free agency.

  3. Houston Texans: Roc Thomas, RB, Jacksonville State
    The Texans could be moving on from Lamar Miller this offseason, so obtaining a running back late in the draft makes sense.



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Will Richardson, OT, N.C. State
    The Colts did a good job of taking care of their guard problems this offseason, but they still need help at tackle.



  5. New York Jets: Jeff Holland, DE/OLB, Auburn
    With Kony Ealy officially gone, the Jets could use a mid-round pick on a new edge rusher.

    Pick change; previously Troy Fumagalli, TE

  6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa
    It could be possible that the Buccaneers will want to completely revamp their running back stable, which would mean spending two picks on running backs.

  7. Chicago Bears: Daurice Fountain, WR, Northern Iowa
    It wouldn’t hurt the Bears to spend a couple of resources on receivers, just in case Kevin White and Cameron Meredith don’t recover from injuries.



  8. Arizona Cardinals: Derrick Nnadi, NT, Florida State
    The Cardinals lost Xavier Williams to the Chiefs, so they could stand to add a new nose tackle.

  9. Los Angeles Rams: Kyle Hicks, RB, TCU
    The Rams want to use a mid-round pick on a running back so that Todd Gurley’s workload isn’t as heavy.



  10. San Francisco 49ers: Taylor Hearn, G, Clemson
    The 49ers have two stellar tackles, but they need multiple upgrades in the interior of the offensive line.

  11. Oakland Raiders: Dimitri Flowers, FB, Oklahoma
    Jon Gruden discussed the importance of a fullback in his offense, so look for the Raiders to spend a third-day pick on one.



  12. Green Bay Packers: Colby Gossett, G, Appalachian State
    The Packers really need to bolster their offensive line in order to ensure that Aaron Rodgers will remain healthy as he enters the latter stages of his career.

  13. Buffalo Bills: Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana
    It wouldn’t hurt for the Bills to add a tight end to the roster, as Charles Clay isn’t very reliable.



  14. Cleveland Browns: Shaun Dion Hamilton, LB, Alabama
    The Browns have some talent in their linebacking corps, but the players there mostly disappointed in 2017.

  15. New Orleans Saints: Kendrick Norton, DT, Miami
    The Saints cut ties with Nick Fairley because of his unfortunate heart condition, so they could double up at defensive tackle.




  16. Baltimore Ravens: John Kelly, RB, Tennessee
    I could see the Ravens spending multiple selections on running backs, given how poor their ground attack happens to be.

    Pick change; previously Dylan Cantrell, WR

  17. Los Angeles Chargers: Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford
    Teams won’t ever hesitate to add cornerback depth late in the draft, and the Chargers haven’t done that yet.

  18. Dallas Cowboys: Phillip Lindsay, RB, Colorado
    The Cowboys could lose Alfred Morris to free agency this offseason. If so, here’s a replacement.

  19. Dallas Cowboys: Folorunso Fatukasi, DT, Connecticut
    The Cowboys don’t value the one-technique position very highly, but they’ll still need to address it at some point on Day 3.

  20. Los Angeles Rams: Timon Parris, G/OT, Stony Brook
    The Rams could stand to get better play out of their right guard, so here’s a potential upgrade down the road.

  21. Los Angeles Rams: Ade Aruna, DE, Tulane
    Here’s yet another edge rusher for a team that is so desperate for them.



  22. Kansas City Chiefs: Daniel Jones, QB, Duke
    The Rams may want to think about finding another young quarterback so that they eventually can have a competent No. 2 behind Patrick Mahomes.

  23. Carolina Panthers: Dominick Sanders, S, Georgia
    Finding upgrades for the secondary is a major priority for Carolina. The Panthers desperately need help at both cornerback and safety.



  24. Los Angeles Rams: Darren Carrington, WR, Utah
    Another receiver should be considered, given Sammy Watkins’ departure and Robert Woods’ inconsistency throughout his career.

  25. Tennessee Titans: Cody O’Connell, G, Washington State
    The Titans will have some free agent guards next offseason, so here’s a potential replacement down the road.

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Avonte Maddox, CB, Pittsburgh
    The Falcons could use some depth in their secondary, so a late-round pick like this makes sense.

    Pick change; previously Adam Breneman, TE

  27. New Orleans Saints: Christian Campbell, CB, Penn State
    Teams are always looking for cornerback and edge-rushing depth. The Saints have yet to address the former position in this mock.

  28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Levi Wallace, CB, Alabama
    The Buccaneers could spend multiple picks on cornerbacks, as Brent Grimes won’t be around much longer.

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Ralph Webb, RB, Vanderbilt
    Chris Ivory is gone, so the Jaguars may want to add another running back for depth.

  30. Minnesota Vikings: Michael Joseph, CB, Dubuque
    The Vikings could choose a cornerback much earlier than this, but it’s a position they’re expected to address at some point.

  31. Washington Redskins: Chandon Sullivan, CB, Georgia State
    The Redskins dealt Kendall Fuller in the Alex Smith trade, so they’ll be looking for another cornerback at some point.

    Pick change; previously Tre’Quan Smith, WR

  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.

    Pick change; previously Jeff Holland, DE



  33. Green Bay Packers: Darius Phillips, CB, Western Michigan
    Several Day 3 cornerbacks wouldn’t surprise me at all, as the Packers really need to fix their secondary.

  34. Dallas Cowboys: Chris Herndon, TE, Miami
    Jason Witten doesn’t have much time remaining in the NFL, so the Cowboys may want to use an early selection this April on a successor.

  35. Miami Dolphins: Jamarcus King, CB, South Carolina
    The Dolphins could address their cornerback problems earlier than this, as they have a problem at the position.

  36. New England Patriots: Joseph Noteboom, OT, TCU
    The Patriots are going to lose multiple tackles in free agency, so a couple of new additions make sense.

  37. Houston Texans: James Hearns, DE/OLB, Louisville
    The Texans could stand to add depth behind Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus.

  38. Oakland Raiders: Matthew Thomas, LB, Florida State
    Oakland’s linebacking corps is in shambles, so the team will have to add two players to the position.

  39. Minnesota Vikings: Jack Cichy, LB, Wisconsin
    The Vikings are looking for linebacker depth, and they like Jack Cichy.

  40. Houston Texans: Jamil Demby, G, Maine
    Houston will need to make sure Deshaun Watson is protected as well as possible, and the offensive line isn’t looking so hot right now.

  41. Baltimore Ravens: Dylan Cantrell, WR, Texas Tech
    Given Joe Flacco’s lack of weaponry, it should surprise no one if the Ravens add multiple receivers.

    Pick change; previously Steve Ishmael, WR

  42. Oakland Raiders: Jaleel Scott, WR, New Mexico State
    Jordy Nelson was signed to replace Michael Crabtree, but he’s obviously just a short-term fix (if that).

  43. Oakland Raiders: Grant Haley, CB, Penn State
    Here’s even more secondary help for the Raiders, who really need to attack this area during the offseason.

  44. Minnesota Vikings: Riley Ferguson, QB, Memphis
    Even with the signing of Kirk Cousins, it wouldn’t hurt for the Vikings to add a young quarterback to groom as a future No. 2.
