13. San Diego Chargers
Jamal Adams, SS, LSU: The Chargers are feeling the void left by Eric Weddle in the secondary, but Adams would give San Diego a new leader in the back half of the field.
14. Miami Dolphins
Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee: The Dolphins need to get younger on the edges and Barnett is NFL-ready right now. The Tennessee product might not be twitched up, but his ability to penetrate the backfield will earn him early grades.
15. New Orleans Saints
Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama: The Saints struggled to consistently pressure the opponent's backfield last year and didn't do much to upgrade the issue over the offseason. Williams would change that.
16. Green Bay Packers
O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama: Green Bay needs help on offense and Aaron Rodgers needs more weapons. Howard has above average athleticism for the position and versatility to play all over the offense.
17. Cleveland Browns (from Philadelphia)
Sidney Jones, CB, Washington: The Browns' secondary has been routinely torched this season with upgrades needed across the board. Jones has the instincts, ball skills and fluid athleticism that transitions well to the NFL.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers
Carl Lawson, DE/OLB, Auburn: The Steelers have several question marks at pass rusher heading into next season and could look to address that need through the draft. Lawson is among the SEC leaders in tackles for loss, sacks and quarterback hurries.
19. Buffalo Bills
Desmond King, CB, Iowa: Cornerback isn't the top need on the depth chart, but Stephon Gilmore hasn't received his extension yet and Nickell Robey-Coleman is nearing free agency. King offers excellent value at this point.
20. Detroit Lions
Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford: With Devin Taylor possibly hitting free agency after the season, the Lions could be looking to add a defensive end opposite Ziggy Ansah. Thomas has the powerful and athletic skill-set that allows him to be effective vs. the run and as a pass rusher.
21. Baltimore Ravens
JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC: Baltimore shouldn't give up on 2015 first-rounder Breshad Perriman, but he shouldn't stop the organization from drafting an impact receiver if available -- like Smith-Schuster.
22. Washington Redskins
Malik Hooker, FS, Ohio State: Safety is one of Washington's top need positions. Hooker is unpolished in areas, but he is an above-average athlete with the natural instincts that has scouts intrigued.
23. New York Giants
Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State: The Giants' running back depth chart has been damaged due to injury, with the team averaging under four yards per carry. Seeing what Elliott is doing for Dallas, Cook will be appealing to New York.
24. Atlanta Falcons
Charles Harris, DE, Missouri: The Falcons' pass rush has been sporadic this season and hasn't lived up to the vision of head coach Dan Quinn. Harris has the edge quickness and burst to capture the edge and give blockers trouble.
25. Houston Texans
Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama: The Texans have been hurting on the offensive line and unfortunately the 2017 class doesn't look like a strong group. However, Robinson has starting ability and first-round skills if his off-field checks out.
26. Philadelphia Eagles (from Minnesota)
Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson: The Eagles are very thin at cornerback on the depth chart, especially with Nolan Carroll on a one-year deal. Jones is wiry, but tough and has the athleticism and ball skills to blanket receivers on the outside.
27. Seattle Seahawks
Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana: The Seahawks have several question marks up and down the offensive line, and Seattle will likely still be looking for answers in next year's draft.
28. Denver Broncos
Zach Cunningham, ILB, Vanderbilt: Denver locked up Brandon Marshall long-term at linebacker, but more depth is needed. Cunningham is easy to overlook on a below average Vanderbilt squad, but he is the real deal.
29. Kansas City Chiefs
Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan: Kansas City has built a physical front seven on defense, but that won't stop them from adding more impact players up front. At 6-foot-6 and 280 pounds, Charlton is oozing with NFL skills.
30. Oakland Raiders
Jarrad Davis, ILB, Florida: The Raiders have invested several high picks in the front seven and should again if Oakland has a chance to draft an impact middle linebacker. Davis should win a starting role in training camp as a rookie.
31. Dallas Cowboys
John Ross, WR, Washington: With Terrance Williams' rookie contract up after the 2016 season, Dallas could be in the market for a new No. 2 wideout opposite Dez Bryant. Ross has difference-making speed.
32. New England Patriots
Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford: Whether used in the backfield or the slot, McCaffrey gives a versatile Patriots offense more options. His intelligence and athleticism are a combination New England will appreciate more than some other clubs.
Jamal Adams, SS, LSU: The Chargers are feeling the void left by Eric Weddle in the secondary, but Adams would give San Diego a new leader in the back half of the field.
14. Miami Dolphins
Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee: The Dolphins need to get younger on the edges and Barnett is NFL-ready right now. The Tennessee product might not be twitched up, but his ability to penetrate the backfield will earn him early grades.
