  1. Cleveland Browns: Will Clapp, C/G, LSU
    The Browns could stand to add some offensive line depth, and Will Clapp can play multiple positions on the front.

  2. Los Angeles Rams: Justin Jackson, RB, Northwestern
    The Rams want to use a mid-round pick on a running back so that Todd Gurley’s workload isn’t as heavy.

  3. Houston Texans: Martez Carter, RB, Grambling
    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.

  6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Shaquem Griffin, LB, Central Florida
    Kwon Alexander is set to hit free agency next spring, so here’s an insurance policy in case he leaves.

  7. Chicago Bears: Korey Robertson, WR, Southern Miss
    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: 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.



  10. San Francisco 49ers: Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M
    It doesn’t appear as though Eric Reid will be back. Here’s a replacement for him.

  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: Davontae Harris, CB, Illinois State
    The Packers must put a ton of energy into upgrading their cornerback situation, as they have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL.

  13. Buffalo Bills: Trayvon Henderson, S, Hawaii
    Here’s some special-teams help and secondary depth, which makes sense in the sixth round.



  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: Christian Campbell, CB, Penn State
    Patrick Robinson should turn out to be a nice signing, but he’s in his 30s, so he’s just a short-term solution.




  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.

  17. 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.

  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: Daurice Fountain, WR, Northern Iowa
    With Dez Bryant gone, the Cowboys will need to spend multiple picks on receivers.

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

  21. Los Angeles Rams: Javon Wims, WR, Georgia
    The Rams acquired Brandin Cooks, but given Cooks’ track record of not staying with one team for too long, it wouldn’t be the worst idea to obtain a receiver in the late rounds.



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

    Pick change; previously Daniel Jones, QB

  23. Carolina Panthers: Deon Yelder, TE, Western Kentucky
    There’s been talk that Greg Olsen could retire soon, so the Panthers will need a tight end of the future.

    Pick change; previously Dominick Sanders, S



  24. New England Patriots: Chase Edmonds, RB, Fordham
    The Patriots will likely be in the market for a new running back, as Dion Lewis signed with the Titans this offseason.

  25. Tennessee Titans: Avonte Maddox, CB, Pittsburgh
    The Titans added Malcolm Butler, but could still stand to obtain one more cornerback for depth.

    Pick change; previously Taylor Hearn, G

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Taylor Hearn, G, Clemson
    The Falcons’ lone hole on the offensive line is at right guard, which could be addressed much earlier than this.

    Pick change; previously Avonte Maddox, CB

  27. New Orleans Saints: Korey Cunningham, OT, Cincinnati
    Zach Strief retired, so given Terron Armstead’s injury history, the Saints should be looking at a third-day tackle.

  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: Colby Gossett, G, Appalachian State
    The Redskins have a solid offensive line when everyone’s healthy, but there’s a hole at left guard that should be addressed.

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Chandon Sullivan, CB, Georgia State
    The Eagles had to cut Daryl Worley after his arrest, so here’s a replacement.



  33. Green Bay Packers: Allen Lazard, WR, Iowa State
    Here’s another receiver, as the Packers need to get younger at the position.

  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: Leon Jacobs, OLB, Wisconsin
    The Dolphins would love to go with a linebacker much earlier than this, but better late than never.

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

  37. Houston Texans: Tanner Lee, QB, Nebraska
    The Texans would like to groom a young quarterback behind Deshaun Watson so that all hope isn’t lost again if Watson goes down.

  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: Jordan Lasley, WR, California
    The Texans may take a receiver in the late rounds, as they need depth at the position.

  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.

  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). Multiple young receivers could be acquired in this draft.

  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.
