Mark Sciubba follow @MarkSciubbaDoe Last Updated: April 24, 2018.
Cleveland Browns: Jaleel Scott, WR, New Mexico State 
- Cleveland get a big long wide receiver as key depth and a potential future starter. Jaleel Scott's got some acrobatic catches and is an awesome fit for Cleveland this late in the draft.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Los Angeles Rams: Russell Gage, WR, LSU 
- Rams take a WR with the potential to be a way better pro player than college player. Also known as every LSU receiver.
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
Houston Texans: Peter Kalambayi, EDGE/LB, Stanford 
- Houston gets some pass rush depth after all the Injuries they dealt with last year. Kalambayi can play EDGE or LB.
- Other Houston Texans Selections
Indianapolis Colts: Jaryd Jones-Smith, OT, Pittsburgh 
- Jaryd Jones-Smith was a beast in the run game at Pitt. He'll help fix the non existent run game in Indy.
- Other Indianapolis Colts Selections
New York Jets: Jack Cichy, LB, Wisconsin 
- Jets take a flier on a man with some first round tape and an undrafted type injury history. Cichy is a plug and play guy who can play inside or outside.
- Other New York Jets Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Deadrin Senat, DL, South Florida 
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers grab Senat to come help make the middle of their defensive line tougher against the run. They lost two defensive tackles and got nobody next to Gerald McCoy.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Chicago Bears: Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State 
- Chicago Bears need to load up on corners in this deep class. McFadden was inconsistent for most of the year, but somehow still ended up with 10 deflections from pass breakups after finishing 2017 on a high note.
- Other Chicago Bears Selections
Arizona Cardinals: Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College 
- Arizona gets a possible starter late in Yiadom. Yiadom would compliment Patrick Peterson here.
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
-
Los Angeles Rams: K.J. Malone, OT, LSU
- Rams get a tackle with serious length to come protect Jared Goff’s blind side down the road. Karl Malone's son can learn behind Andrew Whitworth until the Rams move on from him before becoming Jared Goff's blindside.
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Darius Phillips, CB, Western Michigan 
- The 49ers get the best secondary player left on the board with Phillips. Phillips can play cornerback or safety which should make him an intriguing day 3 pick.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Oakland Raiders: Rod Taylor, OT/G, Ole Miss 
- The Oakland Raiders grab some line depth to help build the tough run heavy offense Jon Gruden wants. Rod Taylor played right tackle at Ole Miss, he's someone that could give Oakland depth at right tackle behidn Breno Giancomini.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
Green Bay Packers: Troy Fumagalli, TE, Wisconsin
- The Packers get their yearly Wisconsin guy in Fumagalli who can be a good back up tight end to Jimmy Graham. Troy Fumagalli runs good routes. He lacks the athleticism on tape with game speed to be anything more than a backup. Learning under Jimmy Graham, is the best fit for Fumagalli at this point.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Buffalo Bills: Genard Avery, LB, Memphis 
- The Bills bet on the upside of Avery here. He can play inside or outside rushing off the edge.
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: Jaylen Samuels, FB/RB/TE, North Carolina State
- John Dorsey said that the previous GM didn't get real football players. Well here's a hell of a real football player here with the versatile Jaylen Samuels.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
New Orleans Saints: Nathan Shepherd, DL, Fort Hays State 
- The Saints get a small school defensive tackle who is gonna surprise some people when he gets his chance on the field. Nathan Shephard out of Fort Hays State is a name to remember folks.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
Baltimore Ravens: Rick Leonard, OT, Florida State
- Rick Leonard is raw as an offensive lineman still. The Ravens have done a phenomenal job developing guys like that in the past.
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Avonte Maddox, CB, Pittsburgh
- Chargers get a solid nickel back here in Maddox. If he doesn't start out at the nickel, he can still be a great depth player.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
Dallas Cowboys: Roc Thomas, RB, Jacksonville State 
- Dallas grabs Ezekiel Elliot’s backup here. Roc Thomas has been dominant at Jacksonville State since transferring from Auburn.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
-
Dallas Cowboys: Chandon Sullivan, CB, Georgia State
- Sullivan is a technician of a defensive back. He's the exact type of smart and talented player the Cowboys need in the locker room.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
-
Los Angeles Rams: Jordan Mailata, OT, South Sydney
- With the Rams stacked roster they can take a shot on the Offensive lineman with possibly the biggest potential in the draft. The Rams take Malaita here and hope to have a franchise Left tackle down the road.
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
-
Los Angeles Rams: Ritchie James, WR, Middle Tennessee State
- The Rams continue to reload at Wide Reciever with their defense seemingly set in stone. Ritchie James has immense talent and extraordinary speed. He'd be mocked a lot higher if he didn't struggle in 2017 after dominating in his first two seasons.
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Antonio Callaway, WR, Florida 
- Calloway is one of the most physically gifted athletes in this draft. His off field issues is what drops him this far.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
Carolina Panthers: Cole Madison, OT, Washington State 
- The Panthers get a tackle to help improve their below average line. Cole Madison can play right tackle or right guard so he helps Carolina this late.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
New England Patriots: Dane Cruikshank, CB/S, Arizona 
- The Patriots gets a classic steal here. Cruisank can be a starter with the right coaching.
- Other New England Patriots Selections
Tennessee Titans: Marcel Ateman, WR, Oklahoma State 
- The Tennessee Titans grab a highly productive receiver to come in and add competition to that room. Marcel Ateman is bigger than James Washington and some people like him more then Washington so the Titans grab him here.
- Other Tennessee Titans Selections
Atlanta Falcons: Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh
- Jordan Whitehead did everything for Pitt. He's a great all around football player.
- Other Atlanta Falcons Selections
-
New Orleans Saints: Fred Warner, LB, BYU
- Saints grab a linebacker who can be a special teams demon for them. Fred Warner may not have the upside of a starter, but he's got the athleticism to ball out on special teams.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: John Kelly, RB, Tennessee
- The Buccaneers RB position is a complete question mark. Adding one or even two is a must.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: Siran Neal, S/CB, Jacksonville State
- Siran Neal will be a core special teamer for someone in the NFL and a quality backup. Siran played both cornerback and safety at Jacksonville State.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Tim Settle, DT, Virginia Tech 
- Minnesota uses the luxury of having a well built roster to take the best player available. Tim Settle is a nice rotational player who can compliment Linval Joseph, Sheldon Richardson, and Jaleel Johnson here.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
Washington Redskins: Dorian O'Daniel, LB, Clemson 
- The Redskins get a solid linebacker in Daniel. Dorian O'Daniel.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Philadelphia Eagles: Cam Phillips, WR, Virginia Tech
- Philadelphia Eagles plan for the future by grabbing a potential future starter here. Cam Phillips could be a great slot with the right coaching.
- Other Philadelphia Eagles Selections
-
Green Bay Packers: Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa
- As much as I loved Aaron Jones coming out last year, the Packers shouldn't be satisfied with their run game. Akrum Wadley compliments him and can fight for a roster spot.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
-
Dallas Cowboys: Steven Richardson, DT, Minnesota
- Dallas grabs some additional defensive tackle depth. Richardson did well in 2016, but struggled immensely in 2017.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
Miami Dolphins: Mike Love, DL, South Florida
- With the loss of Suh and a near retirement Cameron Wake the Dolphins get a quality defensive line prospect to build for the future. Mike Love fits the bill for Miami in the sixth round.
- Other Miami Dolphins Selections
-
New England Patriots: Jayln Holmes, EDGE, Ohio State
- Holmes is the type of athlete the Patriots have had great success building their defense with in the past. He may have been a backup on Ohio State's stout defensive line last year, but he was also a team captain so New England may be drawn to his leadership as well.
- Other New England Patriots Selections
-
Houston Texans: Tyrone Crowder, G, Clemson
- Texans get some key interior Offensive line depth. Depth behind mediocre right guard Jeff Allen is needed, plus Crowder is a natural right guard himself.
- Other Houston Texans Selections
-
Oakland Raiders: J.K. Scott, P, Alabama
- The Raiders get one of my favorite players in the draft with JK Scott. Scott would have been the top punter in the 2017 NFL Draft had he declared early.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
-
Minnesota Vikings: Troy Apke, S, Penn State
- Troy Apke joins a talented safety room in Minnesota as a backup and special teams player. Apke may be talented enough to start next to Harrison Smith down the road, but right now his role is simple as a backup and special teams player.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
-
Houston Texans: Keke Coutee, WR, Texas Tech
- Houston gets another weapon to add competition in the WR room. Keke Coutee stood out in a big way this season without Patrick Mahomes so he warrants late round consideration here.
- Other Houston Texans Selections
-
Baltimore Ravens: J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State
- Baltimore gets JT Barrett who can be a solid backup for a long time and maybe get a shot at starting in Baltimore. Barrett can't be any worse then former Heisman Winenr Troy Smith who Baltimore drafted as well out of Ohio State.
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
-
Oakland Raiders: Colby Gossett, G, Appalachian State
- Raiders build up the trenches even more for beast mode. They also need depth behind their two really good guards. Gossett provides that for this Raiders team.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
-
Oakland Raiders: Azeem Victor, LB, Washington
- Azeem Victor is a super tough linebacker who will also fit in perfect with the new culture. You know, the culture Jon Gruden is trying to bring back to Oakland.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
-
Minnesota Vikings: Chase Litton, QB, Marshall
- Minnesota adds a project QB after losing their entire depth chart. Litton gives Trevor Simeian much needd competition.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
