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

    Pick change; previously Keke Coutee, WR

  2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Brandon Parker, OT, North Carolina A&T
    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 Wyatt Teller, G

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

    Pick change; previously Dalton Schultz, TE



  4. Indianapolis Colts: Jerome Baker, LB, Ohio State
    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.

  5. Chicago Bears: Josh Sweat, DE/OLB, Florida State
    The Bears lost some edge rushers this offseason, including Pernell McPhee. They’ll have to find replacements in the first half of the 2018 NFL Draft.



  6. Denver Broncos: Antonio Callaway, WR, Florida
    It appears as though the Broncos are going to keep Demaryius Thomas for one more season, but he doesn’t appear to have much time remaining in Denver.

  7. New York Jets: DaeSean Hamilton, WR, Penn State
    The Jets needed a receiver entering the offseason, but now they should find two in the wake of Robby Anderson’s legal troubles.



  8. New York Giants: Tony Adams, C/G, N.C. State
    The Giants lost a couple of interior offensive linemen this offseason, so why not obtain a blocker who can play both guard and center?

    Pick change; previously Duke Dawson, CB

  9. Washington Redskins: Michael Gallup, WR, Colorado State
    The Redskins signed Paul Richardson, but they lost Ryan Grant, so they could still use another receiver.

    Pick change; previously Mark Walton, RB



  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.

    Pick change; previously Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE/OLB

  11. Los Angeles Rams: Kemoko Turay, DE/OLB, Rutgers
    With Robert Quinn gone, I think the Rams could select as many as three edge rushers in the first five rounds of the 2018 NFL Draft.



  12. Cincinnati Bengals: Tim Settle, NT, Virginia Tech
    The Bengals have needed a better presence next to Geno Atkins for a while now. Here’s their chance to make an upgrade.

    Pick change; previously Chase Litton, QB

  13. Denver Broncos: Bilal Nichols, DE/DT, Delaware
    Between Adam Gotsis’ arrest, and Derek Wolfe’s injury woes, the Broncos have problems on their defensive line that must be addressed.

    Pick change; previously Chase Litton, QB



  14. Cleveland Browns: Dane Cruikshank, CB, Arizona
    The Browns added several cornerbacks in free agency, but they could stand to spend a mid-round pick on another player at the position for depth.

  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.

    Pick change; previously Danny Johnson, CB




  16. Dallas Cowboys: Deadrin Senat, DT, South Florida
    The Cowboys could stand to add an interior disruptor at some point in the first half of the draft.

  17. Detroit Lions: Rashaan Gaulden, CB, Tennessee
    The Lions wanted to sign Malcolm Butler, but lost out on him to Tennessee. They failed to find a legitimate No. 2 cornerback across from Darius Slay.

  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: Mike White, QB, Western Kentucky
    The Chargers have to find a successor for Philip Rivers, who may not be around much longer.

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

    Pick change; previously Danny Johnson, CB

  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.

    Pick change; previously Fred Warner, LB



  22. Kansas City Chiefs: Dalton Schultz, TE, Stanford
    We all saw what happened to Kansas City’s offense when Travis Kelce got hurt in the playoff loss. Besides, Andy Reid loves using multiple tight ends.

    Pick change; previously Dorian O’Daniel, LB

  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.

    Pick change; previously Shaquem Griffin, LB



  24. Kansas City Chiefs: Holton Hill, CB, Texas
    The Chiefs acquired this selection in the Marcus Peters trade, so they might as well use it to find Peters’ replacement.

  25. Tennessee Titans: Kyzir White, S, West Virginia
    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 Jordan Whitehead, S

  26. Atlanta Falcons: Tyquan Lewis, DE, Ohio State
    The Falcons could lose Adrian Clayborn to free agency this spring. If so, they’ll be looking for a replacement in free agency or the first half of the 2018 NFL Draft.

  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: Scott Quessenberry, G/C, UCLA
    The 49ers signed Weston Richburg, but he doesn’t have the best injury history. Here’s an insurance policy.

  29. Jacksonville Jaguars: M.J. Stewart, CB, North Carolina
    The Jaguars lost Aaron Colvin to free agency, so they’ll have to find a new third cornerback to go along with Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye.

  30. Philadelphia Eagles: Nyheim Hines, RB, N.C. State
    Cris Collinsworth pointed out that the one thing the Eagles are missing offensively is a Darren Sproles-type back, so Philadelphia could spend a mid-round selection on that sort of player if Sproles retires.

  31. Miami Dolphins: Kendrick Norton, DT, Miami
    The Dolphins will have to attempt to replace Ndamukong Suh at some point during the draft.

    Pick change; previously Trayvon Henderson, S

  32. Philadelphia Eagles: Tyler Conklin, TE, Central Michigan
    Trey Burton signed a big contract with the Bears, so here’s a replacement.



  33. Green Bay Packers: Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan
    It doesn’t sound like Bryan Bulaga will be on the roster for much longer. The Packers may want to find a new starting right tackle for 2019 and beyond.

  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: Azeem Victor, LB, Washington
    The Rams traded Alec Ogletree away because he didn’t fit the defense very well. They’ll have to find some help at linebacker as a result.

  36. Los Angeles Rams: Hercules Mata’afa, DE/OLB, Washington State
    As mentioned earlier, the Rams could stand to obtain lots of edge rushers, given their huge need.

  37. Dallas Cowboys: Cole Madison, G, Washington State
    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 Auden Tate, WR
