-
San Francisco 49ers: Reuben Foster, MLB, Alabama
- The 49ers use this pick in the trade they got with Cleveland here. San Francisco pounces on Foster with him dropping to 34.
Previous Pick: Budda Baker, SS, Washington
-
San Francisco 49ers: Jabrill Peppers, SS, Michigan
- The San Francisco may draft another safety early. The 49ers tend to take safeties early in the draft every year.
Previous Pick: Obi Melifonwu, CB, Connecticut
-
Jacksonville Jaguars: Cam Robinson, LG, Alabama
- Branden Albert cannot stay healthy. Cam Robinson is a great insurance policy at this point as a future left tackle plus the Jaguars can start Robinson out as a left guard.
Previous Pick: Garrett Bolles, RT, Utah
-
Chicago Bears: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
- Chicago is moving on from Jay Cutler. I had Kizer at 3 in my last mock and he's still on the board at 36 here.
-
Los Angeles Rams: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
- Goff needs a wide receiver that can be his go-to-guy. JuJu Smith-Schuster is a first round talent, but will be a huge steal for someone in the second round.
-
Los Angeles Chargers: Davis Webb, QB, California
- Los Angeles drafts their quarterback of the future. The Los Angeles Rams got Jared Goff out of Cal and now the Los Angeles Chargers get Davis Webb out of Cal.
-
New York Jets: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
- The Jets need a cornerback. Hard to see Conley slipping out of the top 40 unless more evidence about his situation is leaked in the next 24 hours.
Previous Pick: Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State
-
Carolina Panthers: Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado
- Carolina gets a cornerback here. They worked out Chidobe Awuzie, so he's the pick here.
Previous Pick: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
-
Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma
- Cincinnati drafts Joe Mixon here. Cincinnati will take a running back at some point in this draft when the value is right. Joe Mixon at 41 is great value for the Bengals here.
Previous Pick: Tarell Basham, RE, Ohio
-
New Orleans Saints: Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech
- The Saints get a wide receiver here. The local Carlos Henderson can replace Brandin Cooks here at 42.
-
Philadelphia Eagles: Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
- The Eagles take Cooper Kupp here. The Eagles are rumored to have Kupp as their top receiver.
-
Buffalo Bills: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
- After taking Mike Williams at 10, the Bills get the guy who threw to him at Clemson. Deshaun Watson can learn under Tyrod Taylor for a year and then become the future starter.
Previous Pick: Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson
-
Arizona Cardinals: Nate Peterman, QB, Pittsburgh
- The Cardinals grab a quarterback to grrom behind Carson Palmer. At this point the top signal caller is Nate Peterman out of Pittsburgh.
Previous Pick: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida
-
Indianapolis Colts: Garrett Bolles, RT, Utah
- The Indianapolis Colts get their right tackle to compliment Anthony Costanzo. Garrett Bolles is a good pick to boost the Colts offensive line here.
Previous Pick: Haason Reddick, 3-4 ROLB, Temple
-
Baltimore Ravens: Takkarist McKinley, 3-4 LOLB, UCLA
- Baltimore gets a second pass rusher here. Takkarist McKinley is the best pass rusher on the board in the second round.
Previous Pick: Tim Williams, 3-4 ROLB, Alabama
-
Minnesota Vikings: Dan Feeney, RG, Indiana
- The Vikings replace Brandon Fusco here. Dan Feeney is the top guard available.
-
Washington Redskins: Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee
- Washington gets a running back here. Alvin Kamara is a top 40 talent.
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Justin Evans, SS, Texas A&M
- Tampa Bay drafts another safety here. Justin Evans can compete for a starting job, and if he doesn't start right away he will play strong safety for depth.
-
Denver Broncos: Julie'n Davenport, RT, Bucknell
- Denver double dips at offensive tackle. Davenport makes a ton of sense here.
-
Cleveland Browns: Budda Baker, SS, Washington
- The Browns take Budda Baker here. I had the Browns taking Baker at 33 last week and he's still on the board at 52 after trading 12, 33, and 108 to move up to 2 for Trubisky.
Previous Pick: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
-
Detroit Lions: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State
- Detroit drafts a defensive tackle. The Lions take the local Malik McDowell.
Previous Pick: Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida
-
Miami Dolphins: Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan
- The Dolphins get a defensive tackle. They spoke with Chris Wormley and I feel he's an upgrade over Jordan Phillips.
-
New York Giants: Zach Cunningham, MLB, Vanderbilt
- The Giants draft Zach Cunningham here. Keenan Robinson only got a 1-year extension and it was for under $1-million dollars so drafting Cunningham to replace Robinson in a year from now is a realistic possibility.
Previous Pick: Jarrad Davis, 3-4 MLB, Florida
-
Oakland Raiders: Tanoh Kpassagnon, LE, Villanova
- Oakland goes after Tanoh Kpassagnon here. Tanoh can start next to Mack to form a deadly defensive end tandem.
Previous Pick: Zach Cunningham, MLB, Vanderbilt
-
Arizona Cardinals: Raekwon McMillan, 3-4 MLB, Ohio State
- The Cardinals get a middle linebacker here. Raekwon McMillan would be a great fit here.
Previous Pick: Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA
-
Seattle Seahawks: Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina
- Seattle gets a wide receiver to compliment Doug Baldwin. Zay Jones is a great fit here plus Tyler Lockett can move back to the slot.
Previous Pick: Antonio Garcia, LT, Troy
-
Kansas City Chiefs: Curtis Samel, WR, Ohio State
- The Chiefs draft Curtis Samuel here. He gives the Chiefs a starting wide receiver for the future.
Previous Pick: Raekwon McMillan, 3-4 MLB, Ohio State
-
Dallas Cowboys: Tyus Bowser, ROLB, Houston
- Dallas gets someone that can blitz the quarterback. Bowser can play defensive end or outside linebacker.
Previous Pick: Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado
-
Green Bay Packers: Dion Dawkins, LG, Temple
- Green Bay takes Dion Dawkins as a left guard here. They signed Jahri Evans as a right guard today and now they don't need multiple guards.
Previous Pick: Takkarist McKinley, 3-4 LOLB, UCLA
-
Pittsburgh Steelers: Jake Butt, TE, Michigan
- The Steelers get a tight end here. Ben wants a tight end here and Jake Butt is a great fit for the Steelers at 62.
Previous Pick: Nate Peterman, QB, Pittsburgh
-
Atlanta Falcons: Isaac Asiata, RG, Utah
- The Falcons get a right guard here. Isaac Asiata has experience with all 5 positions on the offensive line.
Previous Pick: Tanoh Kpassagnon, LE, Villanova
-
Carolina Panthers: Taylor Moton, RG, Western Michigan
- Carolina goes after an offensive lineman that can play both right guard and right tackle. Carolina has Matt Kalil and Michael Oher as their current starting offensive tackles so Moton probably starts out at right guard and moves to a tackle spot if Kalil or Oher gets injured.
