  1. Green Bay Packers: Da’Shawn Hand, DE/DT, Alabama
    Muhammad Wilkerson was signed to a 1-year deal. Here’s a long-term solution at the position.

    Pick change; previously Rasheem Green, DE/DT

  2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Toby Weathersby, OT, LSU
    As mentioned earlier, the Buccaneers really need to shore up their offensive line to give Jameis Winston the best chance possible to succeed.

    Pick change; previously Brandon Parker, OT

  3. Houston Texans: Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh
    The Texans signed Tyrann Mathieu, but they could still use help at safety.



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Azeem Victor, LB, Washington
    The Colts have one of the weakest linebacking corps in the NFL, so they could double up on the position in the first few rounds.

    Pick change; previously Jerome Baker, LB

  5. Chicago Bears: P.J. Hall, NT, Sam Houston State
    The Bears could stand to add some depth to their defensive line in the middle rounds.

    Pick change; previously Josh Sweat, DE



  6. Denver Broncos: Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College
    The Broncos are looking to spend an early-round selection on a cornerback to replace Aqib Talib.

    Pick change; previously Antonio Callaway, WR

  7. New York Jets: Tim Settle, NT, Virginia Tech
    The Jets could use a long-term solution at nose tackle, as Steve McLendon won’t be around much longer.

    Pick change; previously DaeSean Hamilton, WR



  8. New York Giants: Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB, Washington State
    The Giants could double up on edge rushers, as Olivier Vernon may not be on the roster much longer.

    Pick change; previously P.J. Hall, NT

  9. Washington Redskins: Daurice Fountain, WR, Northern Iowa
    Daurice Fountain’s stock is surging, and the Redskins could be interested, given that they need to add one more viable receiver to their roster.

    Pick change; previously Tim Settle, NT



  10. 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.

  11. Los Angeles Rams: Josey Jewell, LB, Iowa
    The Rams traded Alec Ogletree, so they’ll need to find some linebackers who actually fit their 3-4 defense.

    Pick change; previously Kemoko Turay, DE/OLB



  12. Cincinnati Bengals: Justin Jones, DT, N.C. State
    The Bengals have needed some help at defensive tackle next to Geno Atkins for quite some time now.

    Pick change; previously Tyquan Lewis, DE

  13. Denver Broncos: Jaylen Samuels, TE, N.C. State
    The Broncos could use a Swiss Army Knife type of player in their offense, as Jaylen Samuels can do a bit of everything.

    Pick change; previously Bilal Nichols, DE/DT



  14. Cleveland Browns: Will Richardson, OT, N.C. State
    The Browns should probably target a left tackle earlier than this to replace Joe Thomas, but better late than never.

    Pick change; previously Dane Cruikshank, CB

  15. Chicago Bears: Tre’Quan Smith, WR, Central Florida
    It wouldn’t hurt the Bears to spend a couple of resources on receivers, especially in the wake of losing Cameron Meredith.




  16. Dallas Cowboys: Antonio Callaway, WR, Florida
    The Cowboys needed a receiver even before Dez Bryant’s release. Now, they have to find two.

    Pick change; previously Deadrin Senat, DT

  17. Detroit Lions: Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State
    The Lions need to spend an early resource to improve their dreadful ground game. They could take a running back as early as No. 20 overall, but this makes sense as well.

    Pick change; previously Rashaan Gaulden, CB

  18. Baltimore Ravens: Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama
    Alex Collins isn’t a bad running back, but he’s nothing special. The Ravens need a new lead back.

  19. Los Angeles Chargers: Mason Cole, C, Michigan
    The Chargers signed Mike Pouncey, but given his poor hip condition, he may not last very long.

    Pick change; previously Tony Adams, C/G

  20. Seattle Seahawks: Holton Hill, CB, Texas
    It’s been pretty clear this season – even before the Richard Sherman injury – that the Seahawks need to find some help at cornerback.

  21. Buffalo Bills: Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon
    LeSean McCoy won’t be dominant too much longer, so the Bills need to find a potential successor soon.



  22. Kansas City Chiefs: John Kelly, RB, Tennessee
    With Spencer Ware coming back from injury, the Chiefs could look into using a mid-round pick on a running back.

    Pick change; previously Dalton Schultz, TE

  23. Miami Dolphins: Luke Falk, QB, Washington State
    The Dolphins want to spend a pick in the first few rounds on a quarterback, though it doesn’t seem as though they’ll trade up in the opening round. Here’s someone they can develop behind Ryan Tannehill.



  24. Kansas City Chiefs: Bilal Nichols, DE/DT, Delaware
    The Chiefs need to beef up their defensive line, so I expect them to select someone for their front in this range.

    Pick change; previously Holton Hill, CB

  25. Tennessee Titans: Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M
    John Cyprien was a major disappointment last year. The Titans will give him another chance, but it wouldn’t hurt to bring in an insurance policy.

    Pick change; previously Kyzir White, S

  26. Atlanta Falcons: D.J. Reed, CB, Kansas State
    The Falcons could use some depth at cornerback after losing Jalen Collins.

    Pick change; previously Kevin Toliver, CB

  27. New Orleans Saints: Oren Burks, LB, Vanderbilt
    The Saints signed Demario Davis this offseason, but they could stand to add another linebacker in the middle rounds.

  28. San Francisco 49ers: Wyatt Teller, G, Virginia Tech
    The 49ers signed Weston Richburg, but he doesn’t have the best injury history. Here’s an insurance policy.

    Pick change; previously Scott Quessenberry, G/C

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jeff Holland, DE/OLB, Auburn
    You can never have too many potent edge rushers, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone if the Jaguars use a mid-round pick on a player who can apply pressure on the quarterback.

    Pick change; previously M.J. Stewart, CB

  30. Philadelphia Eagles: Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
    The Eagles could stand to add some depth for their blocking, as they’ll need a new left tackle once Jason Peters retires.

    Pick change; previously Nyheim Hines, RB

  31. Miami Dolphins: Fred Warner, LB, BYU
    Given how weak Miami’s linebacking corps is, the team could stand to add multiple players at the position.

    Pick change; previously Kendrick Norton, DT

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Chris Herndon, TE, Miami
    Trey Burton signed a big contract with the Bears, so here’s a replacement.

    Pick change; previously Kendrick Norton, DT



  33. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Akins, TE, Central Florida
    Jimmy Graham is obviously a short-term solution at tight end. Here’s someone for the long haul.

    Pick change; previously Chukwuma Okorafor, OT

  34. Arizona Cardinals: J.C. Jackson, CB, Maryland
    The Cardinals have needed a viable cornerback across from Patrick Peterson for quite some time now. Here’s a possible solution.

  35. Los Angeles Rams: Kylie Fitts, DE, Utah
    The Rams are likely to double, or even triple up on edge rushers this draft, as they need as much help there as possible.

    Pick change; previously Azeem Victor, LB

  36. Los Angeles Rams: Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia
    Speaking of doubling up, it might make sense for the Rams to select a pair of linebackers, as they really need help at that position.

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

  37. Dallas Cowboys: Desmond Harrison, OT, West Georgia
    The Cowboys had offensive line problems last year, so it wouldn’t hurt for them to add some depth to the unit.

    Pick change; previously Cole Madison, G
