Round 1

1. Cleveland Browns: Myles Garret, EDGE Texas A & M.
   Garret is far and away the best player in this year’s draft. Browns may elect to trade this pick, but a blue-chip pass rusher is a great building block
2. San Francisco 49ers: Solomon Thomas DE Stanford.
   SF is in rebuild mode, Thomas is a cornerstone player. He will link up with previous 1st round DL picks Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner to make QB's live's miserable in the future.
3. Chicago Bears: Jamal Adams S LSU.
   The Bears are also in rebuild mode, entering the Mike Glennon era (exciting). Need to inject youth and enthusiasm into defensive side of the ball, Adams is a hard hitter and a vocal leader.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Leonard Fournette, HB LSU.
   Fournette is an incredibly special athlete (think Bo Jackson) and the Jaguars need to establish an offensive identity.The Jaguars have added blue chip defensive players in each of the past few drafts (Ramsey, Fowler, Jack, Smith, Cyprien.) Look for this Blue-Chip Offensive Power-House (B-COPH, new term) to bring some success to these perennial losers (sorry Jags fans, hate to kick you while you're down). Look for the Jags to take talented power back Fournette and feed him 25 carries a game. #BringBackthe1stRoundRunningBack
5. Tennessee Titans: Mike Williams WR Clemson.
   The Titans could go in a few different directions with this pick to build up an already promising core of players. Providing young QB Marcus Mariota with a physical No. 1 receiver is obviously a priority for second year GM Jon Robinson, but given the depth in this year’s receiver class the Titans would be wise to pick a defensive player here, but they wont. Mike Williams becomes Marcus Mariota's No. 1 Target and helps elevate Titans to the top of the AFC South.
6. New York Jets: O.J. Howard TE Alabama.
   The Jets are like your drug addict cousin that you want to believe is finally doing better, but they inevitably go back to their ways of disappointment. The Jets need a team identity at this point, and while QB would be a good place to start, they have invested early round picks in the positon in the past few years (Hackenburg, Petty, Geno Smith.) Jets are pretty devoid of talent on the offensive side of the ball, and have shown a propensity to take best player available. (Think taking DL Leonard Williams in 2015 when they already had the leagues best defensive line.) Howard is a baller, and my top ranked pass-catcher in the draft.
7. Los Angeles Chargers: Malik Hooker S Ohio State.
   After losing FS Eric Weddle in free agency last year, the Chargers had a big hole on the backside of their defense. They allowed big passing plays and lost close games in the 4th quarter due so consistently it actually became impressive. It’s like the old tale that it’s harder to get a “perfect 0” on the SAT than the 2400. Okay, well not exactly, but who cares. Anyways, Malik Hooker is a fast and physical safety that will add flexibility to a “Bend-but-don’t-break” defense. Coached by Urban Meyer at the newly minted “Defensive Back University”, wherever Hooker goes he will make a current safety irrelevant, put all the corners to work and transform LA’s defensive back group into a “Red-Light” district because he’s gonna stop your offense! Hooker will team up with former OSU teamate Joey Bosa to give the Chargers a new core to build around.
8. Carolina Panthers: Marshon Lattimore CB Ohio State.
   Defensive Back U is at it again! If this year’s offensive tackle crop had more elite talent at the top then I would pencil in an O-lineman here because the Panthers pass protection has been awful for years. Alas, even though no contender should have to start Mike “Defiled in front of the whole world by Von Miller in the Super Bowl” Remmers, the Panthers will look to replace CB Josh Norman with the top CB in this years class. Badly needing an injection of talent, the Panthers starting cornerbacks last year looked like they were auditioning to be the starting cast of the TV show “Lost”, because that’s what they were. In a division with dynamic pass-catchers like Julio Jones, Mike Evans, and future-star Micheal Thomas, the Panthers need a true No. 1 corner to take their defense back to where it was 2 years ago. The absence of CB Josh Norman transformed the Panthers from playing in the Superbowl to a 6-10 record in one year. Lattimore is insanely athletic and the consensus best corner in this class. Personally, I like him as a player but his soft tissue injury issues and limited experience as a starter (only started 1 year) would make me hesitant to take him in the top 10. Regardless, he is a good fit for the Panthers. Keep Pounding
9. Cincinnati Bengals: Derek Barnett DE Tennesee. The Bengals always take solid, but not freaky athletic, defensive front 7 players. Barnett fits the bill for all of those categories. Hopefully this is the pick that gets Marvin Lewis fired.
10. Buffalo Bills: Mitchell Trubisky QB UNC.
    Not an insane talent gap between Trubisky and Bills incumbent QB Tyrod Taylor. Nonetheless, the Bills front office seems to be at odds with Taylor. I'm sure new head coach Sean McDermott would rather pick one of the many talented defensive players still on the board, but thats not how this hypothetical NFL works out. Is Trubisky a sketchy 10th overall pick with just 13 college starts? Yes, but franchise passers are like girlfriends. You either have one, if you’re a real powerhouse you have a couple (looking at you, Patriots), and if you don’t have one you will try crazy things to get one.
11. New Orleans Saints: Ruby Foster ILB Alabama.
    Saints have an all-time great QB in Drew Brees, but he is getting older and their window with him is 1-2 years max. Their defense is god awful, and a dynamic middle linebacker is what they need. A true plug-and-play week 1 starter at middle linebacker. Foster is an instinctive player who will help transform this Saints defense into a title contender.
12. Cleveland Browns: Jabril Peppers S Michigan.
    Fast, and furious. The Browns defense has more holes than a laundry basket, and particularly the safety position. Peppers is insanely athletically gifted, and paired with DE Garret will change the face of the team. Peppers also excels in kick and punt returns, and special teams (much like offense and defense) was not a strong area for Cleveland last year.
13. Arizona Cardinals: Garreon Conley CB OSU.
    Patrick Peterson needs a buddy on the other side of the field, and while the Cardinals have other needs, they can address those later and must take BPA here.
14. Philadelphia Eagles: Tredavius White CB LSU.
    Eagles have no good cornerbacks, and need some. Perfect fit.
15. Indianapolis Colts: Forrest Lamp G Western Kentucky.
    Andrew Luck's career is being wasted by playing behind an offensive line that allows him to be battered. After finally firing GM Ryan Grigson, the new-direction Colts should seek to patch up their biggest problem immediately by taking the best OL in the draft.
16. Baltimore Ravens: Corey Davis WR Western Michigan.
    The Ravens need a wide reciever. Perfect Fit.
17. Washington Redskins: Jonathan Allen DL Alabama.
    Lost DL Chris Baker in free agency, and DL is the achilles heel on an otherwise talented roster. With supreme talent Jonathan Allen slipping to 17 (much to by non-biased delight), the Redskins will be quick to jump on him. Injuries aside, Allen is the 2nd best player in this years draft, and will be a disruptive presence anywhere on the defensive line from day one. In Washington’s aggressive 3-4 playbook, Allen will slide in as a defensive end and treat NFC East quarterbacks like a dog treats a mailman.
18. Tennessee Titans: John Ross WR Washington.
    Speedy reciever. Will take the top off of the defense, force the safeties to play back, and allow the Titans to execute their "exotic smashmouth" offense.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Christian McCaffery RB Stanford.
    McCaffery is an awesome player, and the Bucs will gladly add him to a young and talented offensive core featuring Jameis Winston and Mike Evans.
20. Denver Broncos: Ryan Ramzyk OT Wisconsin.
    The Broncos are almost a lock to take an offensive tackle here at pick 20. While OT Garret Bolles is more physically gifted, he is more of a project O-lineman as he is very raw. Look for the Broncos to take RR and start him on the blindside from day 1.
21. Detroit Lions: Hasaan Riddick LB Temple.
    My inside sources from within the Lions building tell me that Riddick is the ideal pick here if he is still available. After losing LB DeAndre Levy, the next most talented LB on the roster is Tahir Whitehead. Look for the Lions to gladly add the versatile Riddick here to play for an emerging team.
22. Miami Dolphins: Quincy Wilson CB Florida.
    Wilson is my top ranked CB in the draft, and the Dolphins should jump on the chance to take him. Look for HC Adam Gase's team to continue to take a stride forward in year 2.
23. New York Giants: Cam Robinson OT Alabama.
    After Realizing that OT Eric Flowers is not the answer at left tackle, the Giants should concede and move him to guard. This huge opening in an otherwise competitive team with a closing window (Eli Manning is 36), they should take a risk on flyer OT Robinson to protect Manning in his waning years.
24. Oakland Raiders: Jarrad Davis LB Florida.
    The Raiders were many people's pick to win the superbowl last year, until QB Derek Carr suffered a grusome leg injury. With DC Ken Norton Jr. doing a great job of turning free-agents into a cohesive linebacker unit (Perry Riley Jr, Bruce Irvin, and Malcom Smith), the unit could use a talented upgrade in the form of athletic LB Jarrad Davis.
25. Houston Texans: Patrick Mahomes QB Texas Tech.
    Bill O'Brien needs a talented quarterback to execute his offense. I would love to see him trade for the Jets QB Christian Hackenburg, somebody that O'Brien had a lot of success with at Penn State. Regardless, the PGS Mock Draft layout doesn't include trades, so here I have the Texans taking the best pure-thrower in the draft.
26. Seattle Seahawks: Garret Bolles OT Utah.
    The Seahawks are running QB Russel Wilson into the ground with their terrible O-line play, and I am surprised that they have gotten away with investing so little capital in the position as they have. Bolles is considered an athletic but raw prospect with a lot of upside, and the Hawks have the best O-line coach in the league in Tom Cable. Look for this pick to happen in real life because it makes a ton of cents.
27. Kansas City Chiefs: Dalvin Cook RB FSU.
    A re-incarnation of Jamal Charles (Minus the learning disability), the Chiefs would love to have a young and fast player maker to plug into their offense to take some pressure off of limited QB Alex Smith. Former RB's Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware did phenominal work inside coach Andy Reid's system, and a talent like Cook could take the chiefs past the "Losing in the AFC Championship" bubble and towards titletown.
28. Dallas Cowboys: Marlon Humphries CB Alabama.
    In an almost unprecendented move, the Cowboys lost their top 4 starting CB's in free-agency. A top-5 offense with a scotch tape defense, the cowboys need to invest in a long cornerback here to guard the tall receivers of the NFC East.
29. Green Bay Packers: Kevin King CB Washington.
    The Packers are another example of a team with a phenomenal offense, but desperately needed talent and depth on the back end of the defense. In the NFC Championship game against Atlanta, they had a guy covering Julio Jones that even dedicated football fans had likely never heard of. Kevin King is the self proclaimed best CB in the draft, and would help cement the Packers among the NFL's "Elite."
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: David Njoku TE Miami.
    The Steelers are pretty solid every where. They could use a pass rusher and linebacker, but after taking a LB in what feels like the 1st round of the past 10 drafts, they should look to invest in an offensive player. I personally believe Njoku has the highest upside of any player in this draft, and if coached right in the right system he could become the next big thing. Big Ben needs more targets than just Antonio Browb, and Njoku needs a talented offense to plug himself into. Perfect fit.
31. Atlanta Falcons: Taco Charlton DE Michigan.
    The Falcons have no glaring needs on either side of the ball, so whoever they pick here is techniqually a luxery pick. Look for Atlanta to select long and polished DE Taco Charlton to anchor the defensive line opposite of Vic Beasley. Taco had a mostly dominant college career and has a high floor. At worst, he will be a good but not great pro.
32. New Orleans Saints: Adoree Jackson S USC.
    Adoree Jackson is considered one of the fastest players in the draft, and has value on all sides of the ball as a WR, Kick/Punt returner, or a dynamic quick twitch S or CB. The Saints could use all of those, but will likely try him out at CB to supplement a group headlined by the name Delvin Breux (Ever heard of him?). In other drafts, Jackson likely would not have slipped this far, and the Saints are benefiting from the externalize of a deep defensive back class.

Round 2

1. Cleveland Browns: Zack Cunningham LB Vanderbilt.
   The Browns probably should take a QB here, but I have them taking the athletic Cunningham to play alongside LB's Christian Kirkey and Demario Davis in new DC Gregg Williams 4-3 Scheme. Cunningham will instantly be the most talented player of the group, and the Browns will have addressed all three levels of their defense with their first three picks. Good Job Browns. Defense wins championships, and you're already pretty much there.
2. San Francisco 49ers: Deshaun Watson QB Clemson.
   The 49ers are pretending like they are comfortable with starting aging vet QB Brian Hoyer for the next 2 years. While I have seen crazier things happen, I believe that Watson is the pick here. To operate in new HC Kyle Shanahan's offense, you need to be able to do 3 things. 1.) Throw Accurately 2.) Have Poise and 3.) be able to operate a "Play-action bootleg." Watson is missing the accuracy, but is proficient in the other two areas. If Shanahan is able to dress Watson up as anything resembling a 2012 RG3, this pick will be a winner.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Charles Harris OLB Missouri.
   The Jags have already spent significant capital on their defensive line, taking Dante Fowler 3rd overall in 2015, and signing DT's Calais Cambell and Malik Jackson to mega-deals in the two subsequent free-agencies. Regardless, the Jags could still improve their pass-rush and Charles Harris is a solid player who could be the final missing puzzle piece to activating the "Not-sucking-anymore" curse.
4. Chicago Bears: Chris Wormley DL Michigan.
   After passing on DT Jonathan Allen in the 1st round with pick No. 3, the Bears will come back and select DL Chris Wormley to play alongside budding stars DT Eddie Goldman and OLB Leonard Floyd. Wormley is strong at the point of attack, and was well coached at Michigan by former NFL-winner Jim Harbaugh.
5. Los Angeles Rams: Obi Melonfonu S Connecticut.
   The Rams need help in a lot of areas. Ideally, they would get to add a Blue Chip pass catcher with this pick, but the top 3 recievers and 2 TEs are off of the board, and selecting next best WR Zay Jones would be a reach. So instead, the Rams will fill the giant hole left at safety with a giant player in Obi Melonfonu. The Rams lost starting S T.J. McDonald in free agency, but i'm sure they would be happy to replace him here after watching Melonfonu dominate the combine.
6. Los Angeles Chargers: Davis Webb QB California.
   The Chargers GM who shall not be named has made public statements of being serious about taking a QB high in this draft. This likely doesn't mean with the 7th overall pick, and while this could be a smoke screen, I believe it would be wise to keep QB Webb in Southern California as an heir to Phillip Rivers throne. I'm personally very high on Davis Webb and I think he will emerge as a quality NFL starter one day. #Heard it here First.
7. New York Jets: Teez Tabor CB Florida.
   Tabor was once considered a Top-10 talent, but after a terrible pro-day and lapses in deep zone awareness, Tabor's value has dropped. However, Jets HC Todd Bowles orchestrated a masterful secondary while he was in Arizona as the DC, and that part of his resume is likely what got him hired as the Jets HC. If the Jets want him to be able to replicate that success, they need to give him the proper ingredients. After the decline of future Hall-of-Famer Darrell Revis, the Jets need a CB bad and should take a risk on a DB who has played at a high level but might need some coaching.
8. Carolina Panthers: Takkarist McKinley DE UCLA.
   Once a strength for the Panthers, DE Depth has become an issue after Jared Allen's retirement and trading away Kony Ealy to the Patriots for the 64th pick. With current aging starters Charles Johnson and Julius Peppers, the Panthers need a younger pass rushing option other than Mario Addison. Takk McKinley emerged as a top pass-rusher this season due to great burst athleticism and a relentless motor. McKinley's biggest flaw is that he has little to no pass-rush moves whatsoever, but since hand skills are coachable that is not necessarily a bad thing. To have put up the productive numbers that he did last year with no pass rush moves, once he is coached up he should be a phenom. Takk likely won't be here this late in the draft, but if he is look for him to slide no further than the Panthers.
9. Cincinnati Bengals: Malik McDowell DL MSU.
   McDowell was once viewed as a top 15 talent, as he has shown flashes in the past of an ability to take over games. However, similar to talented DL prospect Robert Nkimdiche of last year, McDowell lacks a motor and intensity to play well consistently. McDowell will take plays, drives, and sometimes entire games off. When I scout a pass rusher, I like to the them in the frame of every play. Even if they're not making a tackle, I like to see that they atleast had the effort to go after the ball. In many of MSU's games, McDowell is nowhere to be found on the frame. Nonetheless, such a talent would not be available at this position if there was not some sort of red flag with him, and the Bengals will select him to play next to DT Geno Adkins and hope that they can coach the "lazy" out of him.
10. New Orleans Saints: Tim Williams EDGE Alabama.
    Tim Williams, much like the previous pick McDowell, was once heralded as a top pass rusher in this draft. However, an apparent lack of Football IQ and toughness have moved him down draft boards. I believe he can be more than just a niche 3rd down pass rusher, but he must improve his initial first punch strength if he truly wants to be able to set the edge. New Orleans would love to roll the dice here and take another outside pass rusher to pair with pro-bowl DE Cameron Jordan in an effort to rebuild their defense.
11. Philadelphia Eagles: Desmond King NICKEL Iowa.
    Desmond King lacks your ideal size for a corner prospect, but is a tough and intelligent player who will be a difference maker in the slot or as a safety. Philidelphia should invest their first and second picks into their secondary if they want to win the NFC East.
12. Buffalo Bills: Chidobe Awuzi CB Colorado.
    Awuzi has been rising up draft boards recently, and for good reason. He is quick and has great man coverage skills, which will allow him to compete for a starting spot on day 1. His inability as a tackler, along with the breadth of other CB options in this draft are the only reason that he is still available for the Bills to take here. After losing star CB Sephon Gilmore to the Patriots, the Bills need another CB to start alongside young star CB Ronald Darby. The Bills also aquired CB/S Micah Hyde from the Packers in free agency, but since Hyde and Chidobe both have the ability to play slot and outside corner, look for all three CB's to play together in nickel formations.
13. Arizona Cardinals: Deshone Kizer QB Notre Dame.
    Carson Palmer is really old, and the Cardinals would be wise to find a young developmental project to sit in the QB room are learn from Palmer for a year. Kizer is seen as a great "Pure Thrower", but shows a lack of accuracy and even his own college HC Brian Kelly has called him out for not being "NFL Ready." All flaws aside, the Cardinals would be smart to address QB with one of their first 2 picks in the draft, and Kizer has the kind of deep arm strength that HC Bruce Arians looks for in a QB.
14. Indianapolis Colts: Josh Jones S N.C. State.
    A guy who has been gaining a lot of momentum as the draft approaches, the Colts could use a big, fast, prototype safety who is willing to lay his body on the line for big hits. If Jones can reign in his careless agressiveness and become more disciplined in coverage, he could become the next Keanu Neal, who is the next Kam Chancellor. Colts need to add talent everywhere, and new GM Chris Ballard would be smart to add an "enforcer" (cliche, I know) type to make wide receivers think twice before they catch a ball over the middle of the field.
15. Baltimore Ravens: Dan Feeney G Indiana.
    Feeney is a solid, day 1 starter at guard. After losing G Kelechi Osemele and RT Ricky Wagner in the past two free agencies, the Ravens would be smart to invest this pick in G Dan Feeney. Not many other offensive linemen are worth drafting in this years class, and it is unlikely Feeney will be around by the time the Ravens select in round 3.
16. Minnesota Vikings: Joe Mixon RB Oklahoma.
    Yes, Joe Mixon hit a woman and the video is disturbing. And also yes, he is extremely talented. With former MVP HB Adrian Peterson off of the team, the Vikings must address their running game. Last year, backs Matt Asiata and McKinnon did a terrible job in moving the rock. The Vikings offensive line isn't necessarily conducive to creating big running lanes for RB's. Regardless, they need an improvement of talent at the position and Mixon is a steal (talent-wise) at this point in the draft. The Vikings need a strong running game to keep pressure off of Sam Bradford/Teddy Bridgewater (if he ever plays football again) and this years draft is the perfect time to find the guy for the future.
17. Washington Redskins: Dion Dawkins OG Temple.
    Rather than taking a position of need here (RB) or bolstering the depth of an important position like pass-rusher, if I am the Redskins I take tackle Dawkins and convert him to guard, Brandon Sherff style. The Redskins offensive line is already a position of strength, and to add a talented player like Dawkins and plug him in at left guard would make the Redskins on par with the Cowboys and the Raiders in terms of offensive trench dominance. RB's are deep in this class, so they can be picked later. Dawkins is one of the last remaining draftable OL, and Redskins OL coach Bill Callahan would make the most out of the pick.
18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Budda Baker S Washington.
    The Bucs are on the verge of a breakout. With Budda Baker still on the board, the Bucs would be remiss not to select him. Already sporting a young defensive core of LB Lavonte David and DT Gerald McCoy, adding Budda Baker gives the Bucs an athletic and versatile player that they can move all around the defensive secondary. Budda likely will settle in at either safety position, but he has coverage abilities akin to cornerbacks and could play outside or in the slot, in a pinch. Paired with last years 1st round pick Vernon Hargraves Jr., Baker will be another young chess piece for a future super bowl contender.
19. Denver Broncos: T.J. Watt OLB Wisconsin.
    T.J. Watt is the brother of J.J. Watt, whom J.J. has praised as being "farther along" than himself coming out of college. Watt is a relentless run stuffer who plays with incredible motor. The Broncos already have a wealth of talent at the OLB position sporting both Shane Ray and Von Miller. However, Broncos GM John Elway is a fan of size and consistency, both of which T.J had made a career off of. He will likely add size in the future (he weighed 252 at combine), but I have no doubt that he is no-where close to his ceiling and that he will keep progressing and become a solid 4-3 end for a lucky team.
20. Cleveland Browns: Jourdan Lewis CB Michigan.
    What Lewis lacks in size, he makes up for in dog mentality. Jourdan Lewis is a tough, hard-nose, confident player with excellent man-to-man skills. Because he is lacking in size (5'10", 188lbs) he may fall out of the 1st round and into the rebuilding Browns Laps. While selecting 4 defensive players in a row may be an unlikely strategy for VP Sashi Brown, it makes sense as there are many high level defensive players in this draft that you will not find in other classes. Lewis is former teamate of 1st round Browns selection Jabrill Peppers and the two have great on field chemistry. With Garret commanding the pass-rush, Cunningham and Peppers covering the middle of the field, the Browns have already transformed their defense. Adding Jourdan Lewis gives the Browns an athletic man-coverage slot corner with excellent ball skills who also plays special teams.
21. Detroit Lions: Sidney Jones CB Washington.
    Sidney Jones is one of the top talents in the 2017 Draft who suffered an unfortunate Achilles injury at his pro day. Jones is seen as a bit of a risk, because it is not garunteed that he will be the same player as he was before his injury. However, if the Lions gamble pays off then they have stolen a top-20 CB in the league at a bargain price. The Lions need somebody to start on the opposite side of the field as CB Darius Slay. Jones and Slay could become an NFL top corner-due, but it is all contingent upon Jones recovery. Possessing elite speed, quickness, instincts and ball skills, Jones was a true lockdown corner before his injury and I hope that he can recover because the NFL will be more fun with him playing at a high level.
22. Miami Dolphins: Caleb Brantley DL Florida.
    Brantley is one of many players getting drafted from a talented Florida defense, but perhaps possesses the most potential of all. He is a powerful, stout, three-technique with Aaron Donald upside who can play in a 1 gap or 2 gap system. The Dolphins need an interior pass rusher presence, and Brantley is the perfect player if he is still on the board. If Brantley can add more mass to his frame, and learn to play with discipline and not guess the snap count (was drawn offside 10 times in the past 2 years), then he could be a steal for the Dolphins. Fins up.
23. New York Giants: Alvin Kamara RB Tennesse.
    HC Ben McAdoo's Giants aren't always recognized as a hard nosed lunch pail team, but they are. They constantly play solid bend-dont-break defense and find a way to grind out a win. This offense has been operating successfully with running backs like Orleans Darkwa and Paul Perkins for the past few years. After adding a tackle in round 1, the Giants will add shifty-in-space playmaker Alvin Kamara. He will give the Giants a reliable ground option if he can prove to be durable. He has ideal size and speed for an NFL back, but has off-the-field and injury issues. Regardless, if he can develop better instincts and vision, then Kamara's lower body speed can be a huge asset to the Giants and their offense.
24. Oakland Raiders: Evan Engram TE Ole Miss.
    Derek Carr needs a tight end who he can check-down to, and Evan Engram is a perfect "Move" tight end for a late Day 2 pick. He has Jordan Reed upside, with quick feet, vertical speed, and a large catching radius. The pick makes sense.
25. Houston Texans: Fabian Moreau CB UCLA.
    After Losing CB A.J. Bouye in free agency, the No. 1 defense in the NFL needs a new reliable CB to cover the receivers of the AFC. Fabian Moreau is a very talented corner who is only available this late in the draft due to injury. Houston DC Romeo Crennel would most likely take the gamble on Moreau because if it pays off, the Texans get a premium CB at a discount rate.
26. Seattle Seahawks: Marcus Maye S Florida.
    Earl Thomas got hurt last year and was tweeting about contemplating retirement. Richard Sherman is allegedly requesting a trade. The once intimidating "Legion of Boom" is breaking up like all good bands must, but that does not mean they cannot add new members. After taking OL in round 1, and having no desireable OL options left worthy of a day 2 pick, Seattle will get a versatile player with FS range and SS box ability. He might not get a chance to start in Seattle immediately, but when he gets a chance he will deliver. Until then, he will be a special teams ace and learn from the best safety duo in the NFL, Thomas and Chancellor. Name a more iconic due.. I'll wait....
27. Kansas City Chiefs: Dalvin Tomlinson DL Alabama.
    Dalvin Tomlinson isn't a sexy pick with 4.4 speed, but he is a necessary one. Being a big, space eating run-stuffer that takes on double teams is a thankless job. Not many casual fans are going to run to the store and buy a Dalvin Tomlinson jersey, but players like him have impact beyond the stat sheet. A starter on the best defense in CFB last year, Tomlinson will be able to fill the hole that departed NT Donatarie Poe left.
28. Dallas Cowboys: Jake Butt TE Michigan.
    Jake Butt has explicitly stated that he would love to be the successor to Jason Witten. The Cowboys have a history of taking talented but injured players in the draft, and they also have an impending retirement of a key cog on their offense (Witten.) Seeing as Butt has similar skills to Witten, he should be a favorite in the building as a day 2 pick here. TE is a nuanced position, and Witten plays the game with a high football IQ. Give him a year or two in the TE room with Jake Butt.
29. Green Bay Packers: Damante Kazee CB San Diego State.
    The Packers need help at CB. Even though they have invested heavy draft capital in the position (Clinton-Dix, Rollins, Kevin King in the 1st Round), they also have to off-set the losses of CB Sam Shields and Micah Hyde. After finding themselves in the CB situation that they were in last year in the playoffs, I would take a DL or DB in every round of this draft if I am the Packers. (Hyperbole, but who cares.)
30. Pittsburgh Steelers: Alex Anzalone LB Florida.
    After losing Lawrence Timmons in FA, the Steelers need an off-ball line backer to pair with Ryan Shazier. Injury concerns drop him down to this spot, but Anzalone is supremely athletic and could be a 3 down starter in the league if he can stay healthy. Anzalone + Shazier would be the fastest LB combo off all time, and I'm sure the Steelers wouldn't mind.
31. Atlanta Falcons: Roderick Johnson OL FSU.
    Rod Johnson was once projected as a top 5 pick. He has since been overshadowed by other talent in the draft, but still remains a solid blocker. Again, Atlanta has no glaring holes but their starting RG Chris Chester did just retire. Drafting Rod Johnson and plugging him in at G makes the most since here, as he is one of the last capable O linemen on the board.
32. Carolina Panthers: De'onte Foreman HB Texas.
    Former Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart does not have much gas left in the tank, and back ups Cameron Artis Payne and Fozzy Whitaker will never enter the "Capable starting runningbacks" conversation, unless the people having the conversation are huge whitaker/artis-payne fans or family members. But, I digress. Rather than addressing the need for RB early in the Draft, the Panthers added two day 1 starters who will make an immediate impact on their defense. GM Dave Gettleman is a smart drafter, and he instead opts to take the value pick of Deonte Foreman at pick 64. He is a fast and tough runner who will take some pressure off of Cam Newton and allow the Panthers Offense to operate in a more balanced manner.
