11. Titans: Raekwon Davis DT Alabama

Jurrell Casey is a really good player, but he can’t do it on his own. Davis is a 6’6′ 300 lbs. man with good intangibles. He is good as a pass rusher, but he leaves some to be desired as a run stuffer. He can play high at times which causes him to get pushed back. He is just scratching the surface. If he can reach his potential, then the Titans have a cornerstone on defense.

12. Jaguars: A.J. Brown WR Ole Miss

Jags have fallen quite low due to their QB play as well as their lack of a WR. Sure Fournette is a big part of why the Jags offense has failed, but they need to find ways to get help. Right now Jags fans are likely rolling their eyes and dismissing my opinion after I opt to go WR here. This is a draft, where I have Herbert returning from school. So they could always draft Lock here with potential to bust. They go with Brown, even though he plays from the slot, he can play on the outside with his large frame. He knows how to work a defense being able to eat up zone coverage. He doesn’t have elite speed, and his route tree is limited, but this is a dynamic WR that the Jags could use.

13. Broncos: Drew Lock QB Missouri

The Broncos are regretting their decision to draft Paxton Lynch as it hasn’t worked out. The Broncos love intangibles, and there is no one better than Lock in that area. He has elite arm strength and is about 6’4″, maybe half an inch shorter. But he has some ability even though his accuracy at times is sporadic.

14. Dolphins: Brian Burns DE Florida State

A good edge rusher, with good bend. His lack of size may be a problem though as I don’t see him having the frame to add weight. He may be a very thin DE or more suited for a 3-4 OLB role. His skills remind me somewhat of Randy Gregory of the Cowboys. Rail thin, but with enough quickness and burst to be a legit pass rushing threat.

15. Packers: Devin White ILB LSU

Fans may be wondering why another LB, they already have Martinez and they need pass rush more. This may be true, but I don’t see a reason not to take White here. White is a top 10 player, with the ability to flow from sideline to sideline and is good enough in coverage to stick with some TE and RB. Will make every tackle and can work his way through traffic. Lacks ideal height though at 6’0″ tall. The reason why I think Packers should go this route is because they have a very good front with Mike Daniels and the ridiculous Kenny Clark two big DT who can stuff the run very well. If you look at the success that the Cowboys have had with LVE and Jaylon Smith, the Packers could try to replicate that and shut down the run game.

16. Raiders: Josh Allen OLB Kentucky

Before this year, Allen was considered more of a tweener, could do a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. That’s changed though this year to where he can do it all and at a very high level. He’s one of only two players with double digit sacks so far this year. He is good in zone coverage to, to the point that you could use him in coverages on certain packages. He’s elite as a pass rusher, using strength and a nice spin move to work himself free. He could bulk up a bit to handle bigger O linemen in the NFL, but I’m not seeing too many weaknesses with this guy. The Raiders could get two defensive studs with their first two picks.

17. Bengals: Anfernee Jennings ILB Alabama

Is a well built defender who excels against the run mainly. Has some coverage skills, but it’s not his best trait. Isn’t super athletic though. Bengals have needed some LB for a little while. They opt for Jennings.

18. Lions: Jachai Polite DE Florida

The Lions could use another pass rusher to pair with an aging Ziggy Ansah. Even though he’s not the biggest guy, he’s not a liability in run defense. Using his long arms to keeping blockers off of him. He’s more of a splash player so far, but if he can provide more consistency throughout the year he could go higher than this draft slot.

19. Eagles: Trey Adams OT Washington

The OT play for the Eagles hasn’t been very good this year. Peters is also old, so getting a replacement should be taken if possible. Adams is a mountain, with amazing size. Despite his 330 lbs. frame he’s actually better as a pass blocker than run blocker, using technique and power to control his opponents. Can play in a zone or power blocking scheme as well. A bad knee injury has robbed him a little bit, so it could be enough to push him this far.

20. Raiders: Noah Fant TE Iowa

After spending their first two picks on defense they go with offense here. Fant is in the mold of an Evan Engram. Around 6’4″ 232 lbs. He’s not really an in line blocker, but it’s not for a lack of trying. If coached up properly he can be a reliable blocker as he has the willingness to do so. He has elite speed to get down the field as well as separate. His hands are pretty good, but will bobble the ball a bit. He also isn’t a great route runner, as he tends to round his routes out.

21. Panthers: Montez Sweat DE Mississippi St

A speed rush threat is exactly what the Panthers need. They need someone to help Short create pressure on opposing QBs. Sweat is guy who could get bigger as in the run game he can get blown off the line. This is physical problem and not a mental problem. He knows his assingments, and knows where to be, just he’s a bit too light, so I am not concerned with his ability to pick up this part of his game. He’s a long guy who could add strength to his game to develop power rush moves as he has all of the speed and quickness you can ask for. He’s beaten the best OT in the game while in the SEC.

22. Texans: Yodny Cajuste OT WVU

A sleeper in the making. His name isn’t drawing traction right now, but it will leading up to the draft. Manages his weight well, and anchors well in pass protection. He is a sound technician. Works well at the second level and can work defenders inside and makes their rush irrelevant. He could improve his strength though as he will rarely move someone off the line, and as a run blocker he simply doesn’t have the leg drive. His ability to pass protect will see him go much higher than normal. I think Deshaun Watson will do back flips if the Texans pull this trigger.

23. Steelers: Juan Thornhill CB Virginia

The Steelers once had a feared defense, not so much anymore. They lack real playmakers at LB, CB, and S right now, and they address the S spot with this pick. Thornhill has played CB in college, and could see some time at that spot in the NFL. However, he is best at S where he can use his coverage skills to stick with TE and Slot WR at the next level. Issues that he has are that he isn’t an elite level athlete which will cause issues if he plays CB. And he needs to be a bit better at sticking his nose in the ground game. This guy can play a variety of roles. He’s the lunch pail of DBs. He’s going to come in and do his job.

24. Vikings: Michael Deiter OT Wisconsin

Dieter is a big man at OG. He’s mean, and excels in run blocking. Don’t let his size fool you though, he can pass block too. The next O lineman to come out of O line U, Dieter will instantly help the Vikings improve run blocking allowing open run lanes for the running backs.

25. Seahawks: Andre Dillard OT Washington St

The Seahawks simply need O line help. Wilson has played well so far, but he can’t keep taking hits like he’s been taking if he’s going to last. Dillard is a slight reach here though. He’s a big guy, who run blcoks well, but is inconsistent as a pass blocker.
