Atlanta Falcons: Kevin Dodd, LE, Clemson
- Atlanta can move Vic Beasley to the LEO and draft another defensive end. Kevin Dodd is a bargain at this point.
Indianapolis Colts: Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson
- The Colts need another cornerback across from Vontae Davis. Mackensie Alexander makes a ton of sense at 18.
Buffalo Bills: Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville
- Buffalo needs to find Kyle Williams eventual replacement. One guy that they could target here is Louisville defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins.
New York Jets: Noah Spence, 3-4 ROLB, Eastern Kentucky
- The Jets did meet with Noah Spence three times during Senior Bowl week. They met with him at the 2016 NFL Combine, and their director of College Scouting went to Eastern Kentucky's Pro Day. Not only does Spence fill a need, the Jets have met with him five times which is more than enough to say he's probably going to be the pick if he slips to 20.
Washington Redskins: Cody Whitehair, C, Kansas State
- Washington gets a center. Cody Whitehair can play guard or center so Washington gets Whitehair as a center.
Houston Texans: Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor
- Houston may go after a wide receiver. Corey Coleman is the top receiver left.
Minnesota Vikings: Taylor Decker, RT, Ohio State
- Minnesota will get an offensive tackle Decker can start as a swing tackle and move to right tackle over time.
Cincinnati Bengals: Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State
- Cincinnati needs a wide receiver. There's a strong chance Mohammed Sanu leaves and Michael Thomas is a great value pick here.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Eli Apple, CB, Ohio State
- Pittsburgh needs a cornerback. Eli Apple really impressed at the 2016 NFL Combine. Also the Steelers have drafted at least one Ohio State player in five of the last six NFL Drafts.
Seattle Seahawks: Jason Spriggs, LT, Indiana
- Left tackle Russell Okung is in a contract year. Okung got injured during the NFL Playoffs and is expected to miss all of the offseason workouts. Seattle will take an offensive tackle here with or without Okung. With Taylor Decker gone, Jason Spriggs becomes the slam dunk pick here.
Green Bay Packers: Vernon Butler, NT, Louisiana Tech
- The Packers get B.J. Raji's replacement here. Vernon Butler would make an excellent late first round pick.
Kansas City Chiefs: Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame
- The Kansas City Chiefs get a wideout to compliment Maclin here. Will Fuller is the top target left at this point.
Arizona Cardinals: Leonard Floyd, 3-4 ROLB, Georgia
- The Arizona Cardinals should draft a 3-4 right outside linebacker. Leonard Floyd is the top pass rusher left at this point.
Carolina Panthers: German Ifedi, RT, Texas A&M
- Carolina gets a right tackle here. German Ifedi would be a fantastic run blocker in Carolina.
Denver Broncos: Jarran Reed, 3-4 LE, Alabama
- Denver moves Derek Wolfe over to 3-4 right end. They can move Reed to 3-4 left end his natural position at Alabama where Wolfe usually plays.
