  1. Tennessee Titans: T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh
    It’s customary for teams to match their new quarterback with another upgrade on offense, whether that’s a receiver or a blocker. The Titans need the latter, as Michael Roos’ retirement has creating a big hole at right tackle.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jake Fisher, OT, Oregon
    The Buccaneers need help at left tackle, as Anthony Collins is gone after just one awful season. Teams usually grab an offensive weapon or a blocker after choosing a franchise quarterback, so that’s what Tampa is doing here.

    Pick change; previously Laken Tomlinson, G

  3. Oakland Raiders: Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
    I had Kevin White going to the Raiders at No. 4 overall in a previous 2015 NFL Mock Draft. The Raiders could still take him, but if they don’t, they’ll have to look for a receiver with their next pick, as Derek Carr needs a primary target.

    Pick change; previously Jaelen Strong, WR

  4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Byron Jones, CB, Connecticut
    The Jaguars signed Davon House to a terrible deal – check the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades page for details – but they still could use another cornerback, and Byron Jones has the size Gus Bradley likes.

    And yes, Byron Jones could go this early. In fact, he could be chosen in the first round. He already had good tape, so he’s not just a workout warrior. The athleticism he displayed at the NFL Combine could push him into Thursday.



  5. New York Jets: Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana
    Chris Johnson hit free agency after the Jets declined his option. Not like he was going to play much anyway if he returned. The Jets may want to bring in another running back to go with Chris Ivory.

  6. Washington Redskins: Kevin Johnson, CB, Wake Forest
    The Redskins obviously need to make multiple upgrades to their woeful secondary. Help is needed at both corner and safety, so Washington can take the best player available at either position.

    Pick change; previously Ronald Darby, CB

  7. Chicago Bears: Arik Armstead, DE/DT, Oregon
    The Bears went offense in the first round, so they’ll have to begin acquiring pieces for their new 3-4 defense on Day 2. They can start by addressing the defensive line, as they don’t have much in terms of a defensive end.

  8. New York Giants: Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State
    The Giants need a safety more than a corner, but there aren’t any players at the former position worth taking here. Besides, cornerback does need to be addressed with Prince Amukamara heading into his contract year.

    Pick change; previously Eli Harold, DE

  9. St. Louis Rams: Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
    Brian Quick looked good prior to his injury, and both Kenny Britt and Stedman Bailey have had their moments in the second half of the season, but the Rams lack a true No. 1 receiver, which is something they can obtain with this selection.

  10. Atlanta Falcons: Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
    I don’t think the Falcons will go out of their way to draft a running back, but they could see Ameer Abdullah as the best player available at this juncture. It’s not like Atlanta has anything solid at the position.

  11. Cleveland Browns: Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
    The Browns officially lost Jordan Cameron, who bolted for Miami because he didn’t like what was happening in Cleveland. Hopefully the Browns’ new tight end is more optimistic.

    Pick change; previously Sammie Coates, WR

  12. New Orleans Saints: Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
    More upgrades for the Saints’ defense. The team needs a major boost in the middle of its stop unit, as Curtis Lofton was a major disappointment for them.

    Pick change; previously Denzel Perryman, ILB



  13. Minnesota Vikings: Shaq Thompson, LB, Washington
    Chad Greenway has regressed in the past couple of years, so it wouldn’t hurt the Vikings if they found another linebacker to go along with Anthony Barr and Gerald Hodges. Shaq Thompson is overrated; the media has him in the first round, but teams rate him as a second-round prospect. However, he fits the range at this pick.

  14. San Francisco 49ers: Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami
    The 49ers are both inept and unfortunate. They said goodbye to Patrick Willis and Chris Borland this offseason, and now they have to find another inside linebacker to go along with the injured NaVorro Bowman.

    Pick change; previously Stephone Anthony, ILB

  15. Miami Dolphins: Laken Tomlinson, G, Duke
    The Dolphins spent a lot of energy upgrading the tackle positions last offseason. Their offensive line was much better in 2014, but now they have to find help in the interior.

    Pick change; previously Kevin Johnson, CB

  16. San Diego Chargers: T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama
    Ryan Mathews has left for Philadelphia, while Branden Oliver cooled off toward the end of the season following a hot start. With Mathews gone, the Chargers will have to find someone to complement Oliver.



  17. Kansas City Chiefs: Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
    The Chiefs signed Jeremy Maclin in free agency, but they could still stand to draft a receiver (or two) early on in the 2015 NFL Draft, considering how weak they are at the position.

    Pick change; previously Benardrick McKinney, LB

  18. Buffalo Bills: Paul Dawson, LB, TCU
    The Bills lost a fantastic defensive play-maker when they shipped Kiko Alonso off to Philadelphia. They need a replacement in the midde of their defense.

  19. Houston Texans: Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami
    The Texans lost Andre Johnson to the Colts, so they’ll need a No. 2 wideout across from DeAndre Hopkins. Phillip Dorsett has moved up an entire round after a tremendous Senior Bowl. He also looked good at the NFL Combine.

  20. Philadelphia Eagles: Nelson Agholor, WR, USC
    Jeremy Maclin surprised everyone by signing with the Chiefs (i.e. sabotaging his career). The Eagles will probably take a receiver in the first three rounds, and Chip Kelly is very familiar with USC’s Nelson Agholor.

    Pick change; previously Jake Fisher, OT



  21. Cincinnati Bengals: Carl Davis, DT, Iowa
    Domata Peko didn’t play well this past year, so the Bengals may want to consider finding some help for the interior of their defensive line.

    Pick change; previously Preston Smith, DE/OLB

  22. Detroit Lions: Mario Edwards, DE/DT, Florida State
    The Lions lost both Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley this offseason, so they’re in desperate need for help on the defensive line. They’ll have to address the position in the first two rounds this April.

    Pick change; previously Carl Davis, DT

  23. Arizona Cardinals: Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
    Marcus Peters was dismissed from the team this past season. The Cardinals have taken chances on troubled players before, so perhaps they’d give Peters a shot. Peters, who has top-15 talent, could fill in for the departed Antonio Cromartie.

  24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Eric Rowe, CB/S, Utah
    Cortez Allen was so bad against the Colts that he was actually trending on Twitter. Brice McCain is gone. Ike Taylor, meanwhile, was miserable in his return from injury. The Steelers are in desperate need of help at the cornerback position, and they’re getting a prospect who fits their scheme well.

    Pick change; previously Alex Carter, CB



  25. Carolina Panthers: Jeremiah Poutasi, OT/G, Utah
    The Panthers couldn’t block for Cam Newton whatsoever early in the season. The offensive line was able to gel late in the year, but there are still some glaring holes there, particularly at both tackle positions.

    Pick change; previously Nelson Agholor, WR

  26. Baltimore Ravens: Alex Carter, CB, Stanford
    The Ravens had major problems at cornerback this past season, and they didn’t do anything in free agency to remedy the issue, so I expect them to spend an early selection on the position.

    Pick change; previously Devin Funchess, TE

  27. Denver Broncos: Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
    The linebacker position was already an issue for the Broncos prior to this offseason, but now they are moving to a 3-4 scheme. They need help there, so they could spend an early selection on the position.

    Pick change; previously Devin Funchess, TE

  28. Dallas Cowboys: Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise State
    DeMarco Murray was too expensive to keep, so the plan was for Joseph Randle to become the new starting running back. The problem is that Randle was recently arrested for drug possession and domestic violence, so he could be suspended. If so, Dallas may spend a second-day selection on a back.

    Pick change; previously Mario Edwards, DE/DT

  29. Indianapolis Colts: Quinten Rollins, CB, Miami of Ohio
    Greg Toler performed well in the playoffs, but the Colts could use a better No. 2 corner. Quinten Rollins is another player whose stock is rising.

  30. Green Bay Packers: Xavier Cooper, DE/DT, Washington State
    The Packers managed to re-sign both B.J. Raji and Letroy Guion – check the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here – but they still need to address the defensive line at the five-technique position.

    Pick change; previously Kwon Alexander, LB

  31. Seattle Seahawks: Danielle Hunter, DE/OLB, LSU
    The Seahawks were able to re-sign Cliff Avril to a 4-year deal back in December, but they could still add an edge rusher for the future, especially if they are able to obtain someone who fits their system so perfectly.

  32. New England Patriots: Josue Matias, G, Florida State
    The Patriots have to improve their offensive line, especially the interior. Bill Belichick spent a selection last year on a Florida State blocker, so perhaps he’ll add another one.
