Arizona Cardinals: Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
The Cardinals need to protect Josh Rosen, so they should strongly consider an offensive lineman to start Round 2. Right tackle is perhaps the biggest hole up front.

Jawaan Taylor has some great feet for his size (6-5, 340) and could emerge as a first-round right tackle.

Oakland Raiders: Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma
The Raiders dealt Amari Cooper in a tremendous trade for them, but they’ll need to replace Cooper at some point.

Marquise Brown is a small receiver (5-11, 162), but he can bolt for the end zone any time he gets his hands on the ball.
San Francisco 49ers: Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College
The 49ers are having major issues in the interior of their offensive line this season, so this is an area they’ll have to bolster next spring.

Chris Lindstrom is solid in all aspects and has more athleticism than meets the eye.

New York Giants: Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama
The Giants are desperate for blocking upgrades, so if they select a quarterback in the first round, they must absolutely bolster their pass protection.

Jonah Williams had a great freshman year as Alabama’s right tackle. He’s now manning the blind side with Cam Robinson gone.
Buffalo Bills: Damien Harris, RB, Alabama
There’s no telling what’ll happen with LeSean McCoy legally. McCoy’s age is also becoming a factor, as he’ll turn 31 in July.

Damien Harris is a well-rounded running back. One source Charlie Campbell spoke to said Harris reminds him of Doug Martin.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
The Jaguars need to give their new franchise quarterback a No. 1 receiver to throw to, as they currently don’t have any potent downfield threats.

Parris Campbell has big-play ability, but didn’t live up to it statistically in the past because of some poor passing.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida
Buccaneer fans really wanted Derwin James in the 2018 NFL Draft. It turns out that they knew more about the draft than the team’s own general manager, which is sad. Perhaps Tampa can finally find an upgrade at safety at this juncture.

Chauncey Garnder-Johnson played nickel for the Gators last year, but has taken on a larger role. He’s a great athlete and possesses terrific upside as a dynamic safety.

Indianapolis Colts: Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
The Colts have a bunch of sub-par running backs who share carries, though Marlon Mack has looked good at times. Here’s their chance to secure a true lead back if Mack proves to be inconsistent.

Bryce Love has a great mix of balance, underrated strength, vision and home-run ability.
Cleveland Browns: Kelvin Harmon, WR, N.C. State
It was apparent in the loss to the Chargers that Baker Mayfield has no wide receivers to throw to besides Jarvis Landry. That must change starting next offseason.

Kelvin Harmon is a good route-runner who has made some clutch catches. He could be a No. 2 possession receiver in the pros.

Pick change; previously N’Keal Harry, WR

Atlanta Falcons: Jalen Jelks, DE, Oregon
Here’s more help for Atlanta’s front. Vic Beasley has been a huge disappointment recently, so if he doesn’t improve, there might be consideration to replace him.

Jalen Jelks will need to add some weight if he wants to play in a 4-3, but he has the potential to be versatile enough to fit any scheme.
Denver Broncos: Germaine Pratt, LB, N.C. State
The Broncos have needed an upgrade at inside linebacker for a long time. They’ve been weak there since Danny Trevathan departed following the Super Bowl victory. Fortunately for them, there are a couple of studs at the position available in this class.

Germaine Pratt has good vision for a linebacker and can defend the run well. He’s a former safety.

Philadelphia Eagles: Tyrie Cleveland, WR, Florida
The Eagles have a severe lack of depth at receiver, so they may want to take a player at that position with one of their two second-round selections if they don’t retain Golden Tate this offseason.

Tyrie Cleveland has been an explosive player for the Gators this year, and he projects as a possible first-round selection in the future.
Detroit Lions: Jerry Tillery, DE/DT, Notre Dame
The Lions’ defense has looked putrid in most games this season, as it allowed Dallas to score more than 20 points for the first time all year and then was helpless to stop Mitchell Trubisky. The defense was expected to be atrocious, and that has certainly been the case. Help is needed at every level, and I have to imagine that Detroit will be eager to pick up one of the stud defensive tackles in this class to finally replace Ndamukong Suh.

Jerry Tillery is in the process of having a terrific season. If the defensive tackle class wasn’t so strong, he’d go much higher.

Green Bay Packers: Brian Burns, DE/OLB, Florida State
The Packers should look into adding a young edge rusher, as the frustrated Clay Matthews will turn 33 a couple of weeks following the 2019 NFL Draft.

Brian Burns needs to bulk up quite a bit, as he played at 220 pounds as a freshman, but he has a long frame, so he has the potential to fill out. He had 9.5 sacks as a freshman.
Miami Dolphins: Erik McCoy, C, Texas A&M
The Dolphins couldn’t block whatsoever against the Patriots. They’ll need to repair multiple spots on their offensive line, including center.

Erik McCoy is an athletic center who is having a great year. He should be selected at some point on Day 2.

Dallas Cowboys: Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia
The Cowboys have a great defense, but their secondary is a weakness outside of Byron Jones. They’ve been trying to trade for Earl Thomas, so if they can’t get a deal done, here’s the safety upgrade they need.

Juan Thornhill is a sound tackler and covers very well.
Tennessee Titans: Noah Fant, TE, Iowa
Jonnu Smith hasn’t developed into a viable successor for Delanie Walker. Here’s another new weapon for Marcus Mariota.

Noah Fant is an athletic marvel, notching a 41-inch vertical in spring testing. He needs to improve his blocking, but his receiving ability should allow him to be a first- or second-round pick.
Houston Texans: Justice Hill, RB, Oklahoma State
The Texans’ coaching staff doesn’t trust Lamar Miller to stay healthy, so they may select someone to complement D’Onta Foreman.

Scouts like Justice Hill’s speed and acceleration to the second level.
Cincinnati Bengals: Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
The Bengals made some upgrades to their offensive line, but their blocking still isn’t very good. More blockers are needed to bolster their front.
Indianapolis Colts: Collin Johnson, WR, Texas
The Colts have dropped 19 total passes in the three games prior to T.Y. Hilton’s return from injury, so it’s clearer than ever that they need another talented receiver to go along with Hilton.

Collin Johnson has great upside and athleticism for someone with his frame (6-6, 212), but caught only 28 passes as a freshman. He’s taken a big step this season.

Pick change; previously Kelvin Harmon, WR
Philadelphia Eagles: Troy Dye, LB, Oregon
The Eagles need to add another linebacker to the mix, as they certainly miss Mychal Kendricks.

Troy Dye is a very athletic tackle with great coverage skills.

Minnesota Vikings: Joe Jackson, DE, Miami
I wonder if the Vikings will pursue an edge rusher during the second day of the draft, just in case Everson Griffen’s career is cut short by his mental issues.

Joe Jackson has enjoyed a strong 2017 campaign for Miami, using his speed off the edge to put lots of pressure on opposing passers.
Washington Redskins: Will Grier, QB, West Virginia
Alex Smith’s career could be over, so the Redskins will need to find a new quarterback this offseason.

Pick change; previously Ryan Finley, QB
Houston Texans: Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State
Here’s another much-needed upgrade for the Texans’ offensive line, as they really need to do a better job of protecting Deshaun Watson.

Dalton Risner had problems with speed rushers on the edge, but has improved his play in 2018.

Carolina Panthers: Elgton Jenkins, C, Mississippi State
Ryan Kalil said he’s going to retire after this season, so here’s a replacement for him.

Excellent as both a run blocker and a pass protector, Elgton Jenkins has the athleticism and talent to be chosen in the second round.
Los Angeles Chargers: Vosean Joseph, LB, Florida
It sounded like the Chargers were going to take Leighton Vander Esch had Derwin James not fallen to them in the 2018 NFL Draft. Here’s the help at linebacker they were looking for.

Vosean Joseph is a very instinctive and fast linebacker.
New England Patriots: Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern
The Patriots have traded all of their potential successors for Tom Brady, so they’ll need to find a new one.

Clayton Thorson is an underrated prospect because of his dreadful supporting cast. He has plus mechanics, and he can make any pass, fitting throws into tight windows. He has a nice arm, and he’s also smart and athletic. He could be a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
New England Patriots: Tre Lamar, LB, Clemson
The Patriots have been incredibly weak at linebacker over the years aside from Dont’a Hightower. This is an area they’ll need to address soon.

Tre Lamar missed a chunk of the 2017 season with injuries, but he projects as a potential early-round pick because of his length, speed and upside.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Julian Love, CB, Notre Dame
Given the constant breakdowns the Steelers have in the secondary, it wouldn’t surprise me if they used a second-day pick on a cornerback.

Julian Love is only 5-10, but he has great instincts and ball skills.

Pick change; previously Chase Winovich, DE/OLB

New Orleans Saints: Lil’Jordan Humphrey, WR, Texas
The Saints signed Dez Bryant, but he tore his Achilles a couple of days later. They could add another downfield threat with this pick.

Lil’Jordan Humphrey is a big, fast receiver who would be slotted higher in this mock draft if he didn’t have multiple off-the-field issues.

Pick change; previously Collin Johnson, WR
Kansas City Chiefs: Cameron Smith, LB, USC
The Chiefs need to continue to upgrade their stop unit, and they deseprately need to bolster the middle of their defense.
Kansas City Chiefs: Ken Webster, CB, Ole Miss
The Chiefs could stand to double up on cornerbacks with two of their three picks in the first couple of rounds. They’re really hurting at the position, so this is something they should definitely consider.
