  1. Kansas City Chiefs: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
    Don't count out the Chiefs using a mid-round pick on a young quarterback to groom behind Alex Smith. If the Redskins could use first- and fourth-rounders on signal-callers, why can't Kansas City?

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

  2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Hugh Thornton, G, Illinois
    More offensive line help for the Jaguars: They have a big need at left guard.

  3. Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon McGee, CB, Miami
    It wouldn't surprise me to see the Eagles add a corner in Rounds 3-5 despite signing Bradley Fletcher and Cary Williams. Neither is a No. 1 corner, so Philadelphia may want someone who can develop into one.

    Pick change; previously Nick Kasa, TE

  4. Detroit Lions: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
    The Lions are looking for another tight end after losing Will Heller this offseason.

    Pick change; previously B.W. Webb, CB



  5. Seattle Seahawks: Everett Dawkins, DT, Florida State
    Seattle's greatest priority going into this offseason was finding more pass-rushers. They added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril, but they could still use an interior presence.

    Pick change; previously Gerald Hodges, OLB

  6. Cleveland Browns: Oday Aboushi, G/OT, Virginia
    If the Browns trade down from No. 6, they may target Chance Warmack or Jonathan Cooper because they have a big hole at left guard. If they don't land either, they'll have to address that need later on.

    Pick change; previously Chase Thomas, DE/OLB

  7. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
    The Cardinals don't have a proven running back on their roster, so they may spend a mid-round pick on a possible upgrade.

  8. New York Jets: John Simon, DE/OLB, Ohio State
    The Jets are going to have to find an edge rusher at some point in this draft. They have to put more pressure on the quarterback.

    Pick change; previously Brandon McGee, CB

  9. Tennessee Titans: Jordan Mills, OT, Louisiana Tech
    Right tackle David Stewart probably won't be around much longer, so the Titans may want to find a possible successor in the 2013 NFL Draft.

  10. Buffalo Bills: B.W. Webb, CB, William & Mary
    The Bills haven't drafted a cornerback yet. They'll probably look to land one, as they need some competition there.

    Pick change; previously Shawn Williams, S

  11. New Orleans Saints: T.J. McDonald, S, USC
    The Saints get a steal here with T.J. McDonald, who will be able to challenge for one of the starting safety jobs.

    Pick change; previously William Gholston, DE/DT

  12. San Diego Chargers: Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego State
    Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason are no longer on the roster. The Chargers signed Derek Cox, but they need another corner.

    Pick change; previously Jawan Jamison, RB



  13. Miami Dolphins: A.J. Klein, ILB, Iowa State
    Something the Dolphins must do this offseason is find some linebacker depth because they're awfully thin there. They signed two expensive linebackers, but they also cut two in the process.

    Pick change; previously Kwame Geathers, NT

  14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Chris Harper, WR, Kansas State
    Josh Freeman struggled mightily down the stretch this past season, so the Buccaneers need to do everything in their power to keep this from happening again. Another wideout would help, especially for the future because Mike Williams' contract is up next spring.

    Pick change; previously Stepfan Taylor, RB

  15. Carolina Panthers: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois
    More secondary help. Chris Gamble retired, so the Panthers have to find a new top cornerback, especially considering the receivers they have to deal with in the division.

    Pick change; previously Duke Williams, S

  16. St. Louis Rams: Mike Catapano, DE, Princeton
    The Rams don't really have any depth behind Chris Long, Robert Quinn and William Hayes. They may draft a pass-rusher in the middle rounds.

  17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jawan Jamison, RB, Rutgers
    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 Dion Sims, TE

  18. Dallas Cowboys: Tavarres King, WR, Georgia
    Miles Austin-Jones will be back next year, but he may not be around much longer after that. The Cowboys will have to find a long-term solution across from Dez Bryant.

    Pick change; previously Sean Porter, OLB

  19. New York Giants: Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina
    More linebacker help for the Giants. Dan Connor was signed, but that was just for a 1-year deal.

  20. Chicago Bears: Reid Fragel, OT, Ohio State
    Here's another offensive lineman for the Bears. They clearly aren't too pleased with J'Marcus Webb, so they may want to bring in some competition for him.

    Pick change; previously Luke Marquardt, OT



  21. Washington Redskins: Devin Taylor, DE, South Carolina
    The Redskins lost Lorenzo Alexander to the Cardinals, so they may want to add to their outside linebacker depth.

    Pick change; previously Earl Wolff, S

  22. Minnesota Vikings: Josh Evans, S, Florida
    As noted in my Minnesota Vikings NFL Offseason Needs, Harrison Smith deserved Rookie of the Year consideration, but he's the only talented safety on Minnesota's roster.

    Pick change; previously Will Davis, CB

  23. Cincinnati Bengals: Chase Thomas, DE/OLB, Stanford
    The Bengals need some competition at strongside linebacker in the wake of losing Manny Lawson to the Bills.

    Pick change; previously Zac Dysert, QB

  24. San Francisco 49ers: Walter Stewart, DE/OLB, Cincinnati
    The 49ers are all about drafting high-upside players and redshirting them until they're ready to play. They could do that with Walter Stewart, who would be a second-round prospect if it weren't for his injury concerns.



  25. Seattle Seahawks: Demetrius McCray, CB, Appalachian State
    The Seahawks haven't drafted a cornerback yet, so here's one. Demetrius McCray is the type of tall, long corner Pete Carroll loves to have on his defense.

  26. Green Bay Packers: Stansly Maponga, DE/OLB, TCU
    Before Erik Walden left, I wrote that the Packers need to make sure Walden wouldn't be on the field next year. It's strange that the Colts paid him so much money.

  27. Houston Texans: Michael Mauti, ILB, Penn State
    The Texans will be looking for multiple inside linebackers in the draft because they have no depth there.

  28. Denver Broncos: Shawn Williams, S, Georgia
    Denver's young corners played well alongside Champ Bailey, but safety help is needed because Michael Adams isn't very good. He's going to be a 32-year-old entering his contract season anyway. There's Quinton Carter as well, but the coaching staff could be down on him after he was arrested.

    Pick change; previously Josh Evans, S

  29. Washington Redskins: Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon
    The Redskins' top priority is fixing their secondary, but they also need to find another weapon for Robert Griffin.

    Pick change; previously Trevardo Williams, DE/OLB

  30. Atlanta Falcons: Akeem Spence, DT, Illinois
    More help for the Falcons' defensive line. Peria Jerry just can't seem to live up to his potential because of his knee problems.

  31. Cleveland Browns: Nick Kasa, TE, Colorado
    The Browns signed Kellen Davis and Gary Barnidge, but that won't prevent them from drafting a tight end in the middle rounds.

    Pick change; previously Oday Aboushi, G/OT

  32. Baltimore Ravens: Michael Williams, TE, Alabama
    Both Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson will be free agents next spring, so the Ravens are unlikely to keep both. Here's a replacement.

    Pick change; previously Oday Aboushi, G/OT

  33. Miami Dolphins: Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State
    Cameron Wake is the only player on this roster who consistently gets pressure on the quarterback, and that simply can't be the case if you're trying to unseat Tom Brady and the Patriots in the AFC East.

    Pick change; previously Terry Hawthorne, CB

  34. Green Bay Packers: Brian Winters, G, Kent State
    Even if the Packers draft a center and use Evan Dietrich-Smith as a reserve guard, they'll still be thin on the interior.

  35. Baltimore Ravens: Kwame Geathers, NT, Georgia
    The Ravens signed Chris Canty and Marcus Spears, but both are 30-plus. Considering that, as well as Arthur Jones' impending free agency next spring, Ozzie Newsome may want to draft a defensive lineman in the middle rounds.

    Pick change; previously Nick Williams, DE/DT
