95. Jacksonville Jaguars: Sean Porter, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
    Because Gene Smith was fired, the Jaguars don't have any allegiance to second-round rookie Andre Branch, who has shown nothing thus far. Sean Porter could function like fellow Aggie Von Miller, playing strongside linebacker on normal downs and rushing the quarterback in passing situations.

96. Kansas City Chiefs: William Gholston, DE/DT, Michigan State
    Glenn Dorsey will be a free agent in March and Tyson Jackson is due more than $14 million next year, so it appears as though their disappointing tenures in Kansas City are coming to an end.
    
    Pick change; previously Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB
    
    
97. Oakland Raiders: Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State
    Richard Seymour's contract will be voided at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Tommy Kelly is a bum who doesn't care about winning, as evidenced when he laughed after prolonging a San Diego drive with a pair of offside penalties. He's a thug who has played so sluggishly this year in the rare instances when he wasn't trying to injure the opposing quarterback, so there's no chance he's going to see a penny of his $6.5 million salary in 2013. He's as good as gone, and 15-year-old head coach Dennis Allen lost all respect in the locker room for not cutting him after the opener.
    
    
98. Philadelphia Eagles: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma
    Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman both finished in the top 12 for missed tackles among safeties even though they each were out of the lineup for a couple of games. They also blew tons of coverages each week. The Eagles must find at least one upgrade at the position.
    
    
    
    
    
99. Minnesota Vikings: A.J. Klein, ILB, Iowa State
    Jasper Brinkley needs to be upgraded, so the Vikings will be looking for middle linebacker help at some point this offseason. Manti Te'o, Alec Ogletree and Kevin Minter are strong possibilities in Round 1. If Minnesota takes someone else, a prospect like A.J. Klein would make sense at this juncture.
    
    
100. Arizona Cardinals: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
     The Cardinals don't have a proven running back on their roster, so they may spend a mid-round pick on a possible upgrade.
     
     
101. Cleveland Browns: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
     Ben Watson is a free agent, while Jordan Cameron, drafted by the old regime, hasn't shown much yet. The Browns will likely search for a tight end upgrade this offseason.
     
     Pick change; previously Ryan Nassib, QB
     
     
102. Buffalo Bills: Jelani Jenkins, OLB, Florida
     Kelvin Sheppard was a big disappointment in his sophomore campaign. Nick Barnett, meanwhile, was just released. Two upgrades are needed at linebacker.
     
     Pick change; previously Jon Bostic, ILB
     
     
103. New York Jets: Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
     The Jets need to give their next quarterback some weapons to work with. Both the receiver and tight end positions need to be upgraded (see third-round pick). Running back must be addressed as well. Shonn Greene's a free agent, but he wasn't very good anyway. Mike Gillislee is the top player available.
     
     Pick change; previously Da'Rick Rogers, WR
     
     
104. Tennessee Titans: Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State
     The Titans have zero depth behind Derrick Morgan and Kamerion Wimbley, and in a division that features Matt Schaub and Andrew Luck, they need all the pass-rushing help they can get.
     
     Pick change; previously Da'Rick Rogers, WR
     
     
105. Carolina Panthers: Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M
     Steve Smith will turn 34 a couple of weeks after the 2013 NFL Draft. The Panthers will need to think about finding a new No. 1 wideout for the future. I'm also not a big Brandon LaFell believer, so an upgrade across from Smith wouldn't hurt.
     
     
106. New Orleans Saints: Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego State
     The Saints obviously have to upgrade their secondary after sporting one of the worst pass defenses of all time in 2012.
     
     
     
     
     
107. San Diego Chargers: John Simon, DE/OLB, Ohio State
     Shaun Phillips will be a 32-year-old free agent in March, so San Diego will need a complement for Ingram if it can't retain its long-time veteran.
     
     Pick change; previously Chase Thomas, DE/OLB
     
     
108. Miami Dolphins: Justin Pugh, G/OT, Syracuse
     Justin Pugh has dinosaur arms, so he might be forced into playing guard. That's fine for the Dolphins because they need help at both right tackle (if Jake Long leaves) and right guard.
     
     
109. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Zac Dysert, QB, Miami of Ohio
     Josh Freeman was awful down the stretch, so the Buccaneers may use a mid-round selection to bring in some competition for him.
     
     Pick change; previously Chris Faulk, OT
     
     
110. St. Louis Rams: Zaviar Gooden, OLB, Missouri
     James Laurinaitis and JoLonn Dunbar played pretty well this past season, but no one the team tried at strongside linebacker did very well.
     
     Pick change; previously Jelani Jenkins, OLB
     
     
111. Dallas Cowboys: Devin Taylor, DE, South Carolina
     Anthony Spencer said he would love to play the defensive end position across from DeMarcus Ware, but that's probably not going to happen because Dallas doesn't have the cap space to re-sign him.
     
     
112. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
     The Steelers never shy away from a play-maker if one provides good value. The butterfingered Mike Wallace could be gone this offseason.
     
     
113. New York Giants: Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
     The offensive tackle position is a mess for the Giants. Will Beatty and Sean Locklear are both free agents, while David Diehl has transformed into a human turnstile recently. This is an area that desperately needs to be addressed to keep Eli Manning from getting too banged up as he advances into his 30s.
     
     Pick change; previously Will Davis, CB
     
     
114. Chicago Bears: Vance McDonald, TE, Rice
     Even more help for Jay Cutler, who desperately needs an intermediate target to throw to.
     
     Pick change; previously Dion Sims, TE
     
     
     
     
     
115. Cincinnati Bengals: Brian Schwenke, C, California
     Cincinnati's offensive line did a great job for the most part in 2012, but the weak link was at center. Brian Schwenke was one of the stars at the Senior Bowl. He could provide an upgrade.
     
     
116. Washington Redskins: Will Davis, CB, Utah State
     DeAngelo Hall, who has been inconsistent this year, is due $7.5 million in 2013, but none of it is guaranteed. Josh Wilson, meanwhile, will be entering his contract year. The Redskins will have to add some depth at cornerback.
     
     Pick change; previously Nickell Robey, CB
     
     
117. Minnesota Vikings: Oday Aboushi, G/OT, Virginia
     The Vikings could stand to bolster in the interior of their offensive line, as neither Charlie Johnson nor Brandon Fusco played well at guard this year.
     
     
118. Indianapolis Colts: Chase Thomas, DE/OLB, Stanford
     Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis won't be around much longer. The Colts need to find new players who can rush the passer.
     
     Pick change; previously Tharold Simon, CB
     
     
     
     
     
119. Green Bay Packers: Christine Michael, RB, Texas A&M
     James Starks has yet to prove that he can stay healthy, while Alex Green has shown nothing in several starts. Cedric Benson is obviously not a long-term answer, though I've been impressed with DuJuan Harris in his limited action. Still, the Packers may address the running back position early in the 2013 NFL Draft. They've been linked to Christine Michael per various sources.
     
     Pick change; previously Travis Kelce, TE
     
     
120. Seattle Seahawks: Jordan Mills, OT, Louisiana Tech
     Breno Giacomini was absolutely embarrassed in the season finale by Chris Long. Granted, Long has made so many right tackles look bad this year, but Giacomini has struggled in pass protection for most of the season.
     
     Pick change; previously Terron Armstead, OT
     
     
121. Houston Texans: Hugh Thornton, G, Illinois
     The Texans want to bolster their offensive line this offseason. The right guard position was an issue last year.
     
     
122. Denver Broncos: Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
     I don't think Knowshon Moreno can be trusted. Willis McGahee is old. Ronnie Hillman's just a change-of-pace back.
     
     Pick change; previously Johnathan Franklin, RB
     
     
123. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chris Faulk, OT, LSU
     Donald Penn struggled to close out the year, while Demar Dotson isn't very good. The Buccaneers will be looking to bring in another tackle.
     
     Pick change; previously Stepfan Taylor, RB
     
     
124. Atlanta Falcons: Sio Moore, OLB, Connecticut
     As noted in my Atlanta Falcons Offseason Needs page, the Falcons' play at linebacker must improve. Stephen Nicholas can't be on the field on all three downs, while Akeem Dent was a disappointment in his first season as a starter. The team needs to find a linebacker capable of playing all three downs with Sean Weatherspoon.
     
     Pick change; previously Zavier Gooden, OLB
     
     
125. San Francisco 49ers: Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State
     The 49ers will probably plan to do something about their serious lack of depth at rush linebacker this offseason.
     
     Pick change; previously Jamie Collins, DE/OLB
     
     
126. Baltimore Ravens: Jon Bostic, ILB, Florida
     Ray Lewis is retiring, while Dannell Ellerbe will be a free agent this spring. The Ravens have to find some help at inside linebacker.
     
     Pick change; previously Gerald Hodges, LB
