63. Kansas City Chiefs: Kyle Long, G/OT, Oregon
    Ryan Lilja announced his retirement recently, which means Jeff Allen is slated to start at guard. The Chiefs cannot allow this to happen.

    Pick change; previously Travis Frederick, G/C
    
    
64. Jacksonville Jaguars: Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State
    Cameron Bradfield was overmatched this year. The Jaguars need need to find an upgrade for their new quarterback.
    
    
65. Detroit Lions: Jawan Jamison, RB, Rutgers
    The Lions talked about their lacking speed element at running back recently. They had it with Jahvid Best, but he may never play again.
    
    
66. Oakland Raiders: Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut
    The Raiders were without their two starting cornerbacks most of this season. Ronald Bartell was released, while Shawntae Spencer just isn't very good.
    
    Pick change; previously Darius Slay, CB
    
    
    
    
    
67. Philadelphia Eagles: Robert Alford, CB, Southeastern Louisiana
    Brandon Boykin was a nice pick in the fourth round, but he won't be enough if Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie leaves via free agency, as Philadelphia wants three high-level cornerbacks. Nnamdi Asomugha will probably be cut this spring. He was absolutely terrible.
    
    
68. Cleveland Browns: Darius Slay, CB, Mississippi State
    Sheldon Brown is not expected back with the Browns, so Michael Lombardi will have to find a starter across from Joe Haden.
    
    Pick change; previously Jordan Reed, TE
    
    
69. Arizona Cardinals: J.J. Wilcox, S, Georgia Southern
    Adrian Wilson has been a great player for the Cardinals for many years, but his tenure in Arizona could be over. Wilson, due $3.5 million in 2013, was demoted out of nickel packages in the second half of the season. The Cardinals could release him, which will open up a big need at strong safety.
    
    Pick change; previously Logan Ryan, CB
    
    
70. Tennessee Titans: Alvin Bailey, G, Arkansas
    Chris Johnson seemed to regain CJ2K form toward the end of the season, but that doesn't mean the Titans can't use an upgrade or two on the offensive line. Help is needed on the interior.
    
    Pick change; previously Bacarri Rambo, S
    
    
71. Buffalo Bills: Corey Lemonier, DE/OLB, Auburn
    The Bills spent tons of money on Mario Williams and Mark Anderson this offseason, but while the former has picked up his play after the bye, the latter was dreadful whenever he's been on the field. Buffalo needs to put as much pressure on the quarterback if it wants to unseat the Patriots in the division.
    
    Pick change; previously Tank Carradine, DE
    
    
72. New York Jets: Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech
    New York desperately needs an upgrade at wideout for obvious reasons. Santonio Holmes is a bum, while Stephen Hill hasn't really shown much yet.
    
    Pick change; previously Tyler Wilson, QB
    
    
73. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Khaseem Greene, LB, Rutgers
    The Buccaneers look like they have a keeper in Lavonte David, who has played very well as a rookie. Second-year Mason Foster is also solid. However, that's all Tampa has at linebacker. An upgrade is needed over Quincy Black, who has nerve damage in his neck.
    
    
74. San Francisco 49ers: Aaron Dobson, WR, Marshall
    Mario Manningham could be released in the coming months. He's owed close to $4 million in non-guaranteed money, and he's coming off a torn ACL and PCL that he suffered in late December.
    
    
    
    
    
75. New Orleans Saints: Brandon Williams, NT, Missouri Southern
    Another piece for New Orleans' new 3-4. The Saints could use a long-term solution at nose tackle behind Brodrick Bunkley.
    
    
76. San Diego Chargers: Travis Frederick, G/C, Wisconsin
    More offensive line help for Philip Rivers. The Chargers' top three guards are all free agents. At least one replacement will be needed.
    
    Pick change; previously Joseph Randle, RB
    
    
77. Miami Dolphins: Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
    The Dolphins spent a third-round pick on a tight end last year, but it's unlikely that Michael Egnew will be on the roster in September. Ryan Tannehill needs a real intermediate option.
    
    Pick change; previously Jordan Poyer, CB
    
    
78. St. Louis Rams: David Amerson, S/CB, N.C. State
    The Rams' defense was great, but they have a couple of areas they need to address. One such spot is the safety position. Craig Dahl must be upgraded.
    
    Pick change; previously David Quessenberry, G/C/OT
    
    
79. Pittsburgh Steelers: Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State
    Rashard Mendenhall won't be back next year and Jonathan Dwyer isn't viewed as a starter per reports, so the Steelers will need to find a new running back.
    
    Pick change; previously Mike Gillislee, RB
    
    
80. Dallas Cowboys: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
    Doug Free is expected to be released sometime soon. The Cowboys need to upgrade the right tackle position.
    
    Pick change; previously Alvin Bailey, G
    
    
81. New York Giants: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers
    Prince Amukamara looks like the real deal, but the Giants need help across from him. Corey Webster, who was torched often this past year, will likely be cut this spring because he'll be due $7 million in 2013.
    
    Pick change; previously Brennan Williams, OT
    
    
82. Miami Dolphins: Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
    Brian Hartline hasn't done very much since posting 200-plus yards at Arizona, so it's clear that he's not a No. 1. The Dolphins need a top option for the inconsistent Ryan Tannehill.
    
    
    
    
    
83. Minnesota Vikings: Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
    As noted in my Minnesota Vikings NFL Offseason Needs, Harrison Smith deserves Rookie of the Year consideration, but he's the only talented safety on Minnesota's roster.
    
    Pick change; previously Jonathan Cyprien, S
    
    
84. Cincinnati Bengals: T.J. McDonald, S, USC
    The Bengals had a big need at safety, but they didn't address the position until the fifth round this past April. They'll put more effort into finding an upgrade the following offseason because they won't survive with Reggie Nelson and the benched Taylor Mays (or cornerback Nate Clements, an impending free agent who was playing out of position) as their starters.
    
    
85. Washington Redskins: David Bakhtiari, OT, Colorado
    As written in my Washington Redskins NFL Offseason Needs, the biggest hole on Washington's front is easily right tackle. Jammal Brown is always hurt, while backup Tyler Polumbus performed miserably in his absence.
    
    
86. Indianapolis Colts: Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State
    The Colts need stronger cornerback play across from Vontae Davis. Joe Flacco torched every Indianapolis corner not named Davis in the opening round of the playoffs.
    
    Pick change; previously John Simon, DE/OLB
    
    
    
    
    
87. Seattle Seahawks: Gavin Escobar, TE, San Diego State
    Here's some more help for Russell Wilson. Despite Zach Miller's heroic conversion on third-and-long early against Washington, the Seahawks could look into bringing in a new tight end.
    
    
88. Green Bay Packers: David Quessenberry, G/C/OT, San Jose State
    Can anyone explain why Jeff Saturday was voted to the Pro Bowl? He didn't even start at the end of the season. The Packers had major problems at center after letting Scott Wells walk away, so they'll have to address that area this spring. Ted Thompson will like David Quessenberry's versatility, as the San Jose State product can play every position up front, including center.
    
    Pick change; previously Christine Michael, RB
    
    
89. Houston Texans: Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
    The Texans have needed a No. 2 receiver for years, but now that Andre Johnson is into his 30s, it won't be long before they have to secure a new No. 1 wideout for Matt Schaub.
    
    
90. Denver Broncos: Everett Dawkins, DT, Florida State
    The Broncos spent a second-rounder this past April on Derek Wolfe, but he's playing defensive end and moving inside on nickel situations. That's why Denver still needs a ton of help at defensive tackle.
    
    
91. New England Patriots: Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
    The Patriots have used a third-round pick on a troubled but talented SEC quarterback before. There's talk that Bill Belichick could trade Ryan Mallett to Michael Lombardi, so if that happens, New England may search for another project at the signal-caller position.
    
    
92. Atlanta Falcons: Marquise Goodwin, WR/KR, Texas
    General manager Thomas Dimitroff said that he would be looking for receiver help this offseason. That's understandable, given that Julio Jones is always hurt, Roddy White is old, and the team's depth at the position is lacking.
    
    
93. San Francisco 49ers: Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU
    Teams are always looking for cornerback depth, especially if they have extra picks. Besides, Carlos Rogers didn't play as well this past season. He was solid at times, but was inconsistent.
    
    Pick change; previously William Gholston, DE/DT
    
    
94. Baltimore Ravens: Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
    The Ravens take chances on players like Da'Rick Rogers. If Rogers stays out of trouble, he could be a solid weapon for Joe Flacco. The declining Anquan Boldin will be entering his contract year and will have to be replaced soon.
    
    Pick change; previously Tyrann Mathieu, CB
