  1. Cincinnati Bengals: Jacob Phillips, LB, LSU
    The Bengals have the worst linebacking corps in the NFL, so they’ll need to make multiple upgrades to that area this offseason.

    Jacob Phillips has been an extremely productive linebacker for LSU. The physical defender was a five-star recruit.

  2. Washington Redskins: Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
    Josh Norman’s play has completely fallen off, and he’s now one of the worst cornerbacks in the league. The Redskins will need someone new to start across from Quinton Dunbar.

    Kristian Fulton has first-round talent, but an extensive injury history could keep him out of the opening frame.

    Pick change; previously Troy Pride, CB



  3. Detroit Lions: Anfernee Jennings, LB, Alabama
    Matt Patricia needs a centerpiece for his defense, as the Lions have struggled to cover in space for quite a while.

    Pick change; previously Dylan Moses, LB



  4. New York Jets: Nick Harris, C, Washington
    The Jets were so desperate at center that they brought in Ryan Kalil prior to the season. Kalil ended up being terrible, so the Jets will need to find a new center.

    Nick Harris is a bit undersized and lacks length, but he’s a good player who could be a third-round pick.





  5. Carolina Panthers: Kyle Dugger, S, Lenoir-Rhyne
    The Panthers improved their pass defense this season, but Tre Boston, one of the team’s starting safeties, will be entering free agency in March. Carolina will need a replacement for him if he departs.

    Kyle Dugger is big and quick,and he possesses an excellent skill set.



  6. Miami Dolphins: Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M
    The Dolphins need to continue to bolster their defensive line, among many other things.

    Justin Madubuike was a disruptive force in the interior of the Aggies’ defensive line this past season, logging 11.5 TFLs and 5.5 sacks.

    Pick change; previously Kendrick Rogers, WR





  7. Los Angeles Chargers: Yasir Durant, OT, Missouri
    Philip Rivers struggled at times in 2019, but his horrible offensive line can be blamed for that.

    Yasir Durant has work ethic problems, but is a talented prospect.

    Pick change; previously Marvin Wilson, DT



  8. Arizona Cardinals: Ashtyn Davis, S, California
    The Cardinals have been atrocious versus tight ends this year, so they’ll need to acquire multiple players to help address this weakness.





  9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Kamren Curl, S, Arkansas
    Jacksonville’s secondary took a massive hit when the team traded Jalen Ramsey, but it also had issues at safety beforehand, so that position needs to be addressed as well.



  10. Cleveland Browns: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State
    Odell Beckham Jr. doesn’t seem to be too happy in Cleveland. Perhaps the Browns will draft some insurance.

    Brandon Aiyuk had a monster 2019 campaign and seems to have moved himself into second-day consideration.





  11. Indianapolis Colts: K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State
    The Colts still have major issues at receiver when T.Y. Hilton misses action. They’ll address this issue one of these years.

    K.J. Hamler is an absolutely electric play-maker who caught 41 passes for Penn State as a freshman. He can go the distance whenever he gets his hands on the ball.

    Pick change; previously Collin Johnson, WR



  12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Stanford Samuels, CB, Florida State
    The Buccaneers have endured issues at cornerback for years. Perhaps they’ll finally fix those problems this offseason.

    Pick change; previously Kristian Fulton, CB








  13. Denver Broncos: Jordan Elliott, DE/DT, Missouri
    Derek Wolfe always seems to get hurt, so the Broncos could take a defensive tackle in Rounds 2-4 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

    Pick change; previously ustin Madubuike, DT



  14. Atlanta Falcons: Nick Coe, DE/DT, Auburn
    The Falcons missed Adrian Clayborn this past season. Vic Beasley, meanwhile, has regressed. I could see Atlanta doubling up on edge players in the first couple of rounds.

    Pick change; previously Jonathan Taylor, RB





  15. New York Jets: Curtis Weaver, DE/OLB, Boise State
    The Jets don’t have much of an edge rush, so they’ll need to find someone who can help them get after the quarterback.

    Curtis Weaver had a ridiculous 11 sacks as a freshman. He’ll have to be an edge player in a 3-4 defense. He has skill-set limitations that will keep him limited to Day 2.



  16. Las Vegas Raiders: Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington
    The Raiders could use another presence on the defensive line to aid a weak pass rush.

    Pick change; previously Jordan Elliott, DT






  17. Las Vegas Raiders: Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia
    The Raiders traded away Gareon Conley, so they’ll be in search for more cornerback help to aid their poor secondary.

    Bryce Hall is a tall (6-1, 200) and fast cornerback.



  18. Dallas Cowboys: Lavert Hill, CB, Michigan
    It wouldn’t hurt for the Cowboys to bolster their secondary, as they are weaker against the pass than the run.





  19. Denver Broncos: Shyheum Carter, CB, Alabama
    The Broncos’ corners haven’t been the same since losing Aqib Talib. There’s even talk that Chris Harris Jr. could be traded.



  20. Los Angeles Rams: Tommy Kraemer, G, Notre Dame
    The Rams continue to bolster their offensive line, as they have the worst blocking unit in the NFL (excluding the Dolphins.)





  21. Philadelphia Eagles: Kendrick Rogers, WR, Texas A&M
    Considering the durability issues of the Eagles’ top receivers, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if they use multiple selections on the position.

    Kendrick Rogers has flashed some major upside, but he’ll need to show improved durability to be chosen in the first round.

    Pick change; previously Tarik Black, WR



  22. Tennessee Titans: A.J. Green, CB, Oklahoma State
    The Titans may lose Logan Ryan next offseason when he hits free agency. Here’s a potential replacement.





  23. Buffalo Bills: Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State
    Frank Gore won’t be around much longer, so the Bills will need a viable backup behind Devin Singletary.

    Eno Benjamin has shown better receiving ability, so he could be chosen in the second round.



  24. Minnesota Vikings: Paddy Fisher, LB, Northwestern
    The Vikings struggle to cover in space, so I expect that issue to be prevalent this season. Perhaps they’ll finally upgrade their linebacking corps.

    Paddy Fisher was unbelievably productive for Northwestern despite being a freshman. He’s become one of the top linebackers in the Big Ten.



  25. Las Vegas Raiders: Erroll Thompson, LB, Mississippi State
    The Raiders could add a second player to help their putrid linebacking corps.

    Erroll Thompson projects as a two-down run defender.



  26. Houston Texans: Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn
    The Texans need to continue to bolster their pedestrian offensive line.

    Prince Tega Wanogho is an athletic tackle who could play on the blind side in the pros. He’s raw, so he’ll need to be coached up.

    Pick change; previously Isaiah Wilson, OT



  27. New England Patriots: Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota
    The Patriots could aim to find some safety youth, as they have some older players at the position.

    Tyler Johnson is a sound receiver; he’s a good route-runner and is a sure-handed pass-catcher.



  28. Green Bay Packers: Marcus Norman, OT, South Florida
    The Packers should find some depth on their offensive line and a possible successor for Bryan Bulaga.

    Marcus Norman had a great 2018 season, as scouts have been impressed with his length and athleticism.



  29. Kansas City Chiefs: Zack Moss, RB, Utah
    Andy Reid keeps cycling through running backs because he has so many mediocre options at the position. Here’s a potential upgrade.

    Pick change; previously Levi Onwuzurike, DT





  30. New Orleans Saints: Jared Pinkney, TE, Vanderbilt
    Here’s another new weapon for Drew Brees (and eventually Taysom Hill), as Jared Cook is just a short-term solution.



  31. Denver Broncos: Terrance Steele, OT, Texas Tech
    The Broncos will have to consider finding some competition for the oft-penalized Garett Bolles.

    Terrance Steele is a lengthy tackle who had a nice 2019 campaign.

    Pick change; previously Prince Tega Wanogho, OT



  32. Baltimore Ravens: Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson
    Justice Hill hasn’t show much, so I wonder if the Ravens will be interested in adding a new running back to eventually replace Mark Ingram.

    Travis Etienne is coming off a huge year. He should work to become a better receiver.
