New Orleans Saints: Bobby Brown, DT, Texas A&M
The Saints lost Sheldon Rankins, so I'm sure they'll obtain a defensive lineman at some point.

San Francisco 49ers: Erroll Thompson, LB, Mississippi State
The 49ers haven't added to their linebacking corps yet, so they may want to find some depth.
Miami Dolphins: Frank Darby, WR, Arizona State
The Dolphins will have to add to the receiving corps at some point if they land Kyle Pitts at No. 6.
Tennessee Titans: John Lovett, RB, Baylor
The Titans need a viable backup behind Derrick Henry.

Houston Texans: Mike Strachan, WR, Charleston
The Texans have just three viable receivers on their roster, and one of them is Randall Cobb.
Philadelphia Eagles: Marco Wilson, CB, Florida
Another cornerback makes sense for the Eagles, who must find players to deal with Kenny Golladay, Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Terry McLaurin.
Cincinnati Bengals: Tony Poljan, TE, Virginia
The Bengals should find a tight end much earlier than this, but they have other needs to address.

Buffalo Bills: Larry Borom, OT/G, Missouri
Here's another player to add to the offensive line depth. Obviously, protecting Josh Allen is extremely important.
Denver Broncos: Maliik Herring, DE/DT, Georgia
The Broncos were killed in the middle of the regular season last year when a couple of their defensive linemen got hurt.
Dallas Cowboys: Dazz Newsome, WR, North Carolina
How much longer will both Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup be on the roster? One will have to be moved in the coming years due to financial issues.

Denver Broncos: Avery Williams, CB, Boise State
Some cornerback depth and special-teams help for the Broncos in the final round.
Philadelphia Eagles: Jared Hocker, G, Texas A&M
Offensive line depth was a major issue last year, so that should be addressed.
Los Angeles Chargers: Ben Skowronek, WR, Notre Dame
The Charger receivers don't have the best injury track record, so depth needs to be addressed.

New England Patriots: Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota
Every team always wants better cornerback depth, so the Patriots could find that with this pick.
Arizona Cardinals: Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa
The Cardinals run four-receiver formations, so they'll likely draft a player at the position.

Miami Dolphins: Damar Hamlin, S, Pittsburgh
The Dolphins are deep at cornerback, but could use some upgrades at safety.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Tyree Gillespie, S, Missouri
The Steelers need all the help in the secondary that they can get, given the quarterbacking talent in the AFC North.
Washington Redskins: Elerson Smith, DE/OLB, Northern Iowa
The Redskins have an amazing pass rush, but they could use some better backups in that area.

Arizona Cardinals: Chase Lucas, CB, Arizona State
How are the Cardinals going to cover all of the talented receivers in their division with their current group of corners?
Indianapolis Colts: Quintin Morris, TE, Bowling Green
The Colts love to use two-tight end formations, so I'm sure they'll draft a player at the position at some point.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonathon Cooper, DE/OLB, Ohio State
The Jaguars figure to add an edge rusher at some point, given their inability to pressure the quarterback.
Seattle Seahawks: Robert Jones, G, Middle Tennessee
Russell Wilson asked for better protection, so the front office better listen to him.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Cornell Powell, WR, Clemson
Here's a receiver in case Antonio Brown isn't re-signed.
Los Angeles Rams: Dwayne Johnson Jr., S, San Diego State
The Rams lost John Johnson, so they'll need to add a safety at some point.

Denver Broncos: Isaiahh Loudermilk, DE/DT, Wisconsn
The Broncos had major defensive line depth issues last year, so they could address that on Day 3.
Pittsburgh Steelers: D.J. Daniel, CB, Georgia
The Steelers will need to add multiple cornerbacks during the draft because of their poor depth at the position.

New Orleans Saints: Matt Bushman, TE, BYU
Adam Trautman is no sure thing, so the Saints may want to obtain another tight end.
Green Bay Packers: Adrian Ealy, OT, Oklahoma
The Packers' offensive line is in shambles right now, so they need lots of help in that area.

Cleveland Browns: Sadarius Hutcherson, OT/G, South Carolina
The Browns learned how important offensive line play was, given their failures in 2019 and their success in 2020.
Washington Redskins: Deonte Brown, G, Alabama
Here's some offensive line depth for the Redskins.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Keith Taylor, CB, Washington
In a division with Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, the Buccaneers need as many talented cornerbacks as possible.
