  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: J.C. Tretter, G, Cornell
    More offensive line help for the Jaguars: They have a big need at left guard.

    Follow @walterfootball for updates.

    Pick change; previously Earl Wolff, S

  2. 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?

    Pick change; previously Ace Sanders, WR

  3. Detroit Lions: Tavarres King, WR, Georgia
    The Lions brought in Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter for private interviews recently (check the NFL Draft Prospect Meetings list for more). Both were off the board atop Round 2, so another wideout will have to suffice.

    Pick change; previously Devonte Holloman, OLB

  4. Oakland Raiders: Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon
    The newly signed Rashad Jennings is the only legitimate option behind the injury-prone Darren McFadden. Something must be done about this.

    Pick change; previously Josh Johnson, CB



  5. San Francisco 49ers: Chris Faulk, OT/G, LSU
    This is a major steal for the 49ers. They're set with Joe Staley and Anthony Davis at tackle obviously, but they don't have depth at the position.

    Pick change; previously Nico Johnson, ILB

  6. Arizona Cardinals: Knile Davis, RB, Arkansas
    The Cardinals don't have a proven running back on their roster, so they may spend a mid-round pick on a possible upgrade.

    Pick change; previously Nick Williams, DE/DT

  7. 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 John Boyett, S

  8. Oakland Raiders: Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin
    The Raiders are so desperate for tackle help that they signed the lethargic Alex Barron this offseason. They'll need someone to push Khalif Barnes.

  9. Buffalo Bills: Omoregie Uzzi, G, Georgia Tech
    There's some speculation that the Bills will take a guard at No. 8 overall, but it's more likely that they'll spend a mid-rounder on finding Andy Levitre's replacement.

    Pick change; previously Lavar Edwards, DE

  10. New York Jets: Devin Taylor, DE, South Carolina
    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 Nickell Robey, CB

  11. San Diego Chargers: Earl Watford, G, James Madison
    The Chargers need multiple upgrades on the offensive line. Interior help is needed in addition to two new tackles.

    Pick change; previously Denard Robinson, RB/WR/KR

  12. San Francisco 49ers: Quinton Dial, DE/DT, Alabama
    Even if they spend an early pick on a five-technique defensive lineman, the 49ers will still be pretty thin at that position.



  13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Sean Renfree, QB, Duke
    It was recently reported that Greg Schiano is not a big Josh Freeman fan. The Buccaneers are expected to use a Round 2-6 pick on a quarterback.

  14. Carolina Panthers: Kayvon Webster, CB, South Florida
    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 David Bass, DE/OLB

  15. New Orleans Saints: Michael Mauti, ILB, Penn State
    The Saints need to continue adding personnel for their new 3-4. They're pretty thin at linebacker.

    Pick change; previously Josh Boyd, DE/DT

  16. St. Louis Rams: Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State
    The Rams land a steal with Gerald Hodges, who will be able to bolster their incredibly thin linebacking corps.

  17. Dallas Cowboys: Conner Vernon, WR, Duke
    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 Josh Boyd, DE/DT

  18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Malliciah Goodman, DE/DT, Clemson
    The Steelers have shown interest in Malliciah Goodman, who could add some depth to a very thin defensive end group.

  19. New York Giants: Jawan Jamison, RB, Rutgers
    The Giants are set at running back right now with David Wilson and Andre Brown, but the latter will be a free agent next spring.

    Pick change; previously Rontez Miles, S

  20. Chicago Bears: Nick Williams, DE/DT, Samford
    The Bears are pretty thin on the interior of the defensive front. A late-round depth pick will have to be made.

    Pick change; previously Steve Williams, CB



  21. Minnesota Vikings: Zeke Motta, S, Notre Dame
    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 T.J. Barnes, NT

  22. Cincinnati Bengals: Robert Lester, S, Alabama
    It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Bengals double up at safety to really solidify the position.

  23. Washington Redskins: Travis Long, DE/OLB, Washington State
    The Redskins lost Lorenzo Alexander to the Cardinals, so they may want to add to their outside linebacker depth.

    Pick change; previously Stepfon Jefferson, RB

  24. Indianapolis Colts: Edmund Kugbila, G, Valdosta State
    The Colts signed Gosder Cherilus, but they still need to find another upgrade on the interior of their offensive line. The weakest of Andrew Luck's blockers last year was right guard Mike McGlynn, who was guilty of four sacks in the final four games.

    Pick change; previously Luke Marquardt, OT



  25. Green Bay Packers: Chris Gragg, TE, Arkansas
    Jermichael Finley will be back in 2013, but he'll be a free agent after the season. The Packers will need a contingency plan at tight end.

  26. 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 Levine Toiolo, TE

  27. Houston Texans: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois
    Kareem Jackson could be headed for free agency after this season. Regardless, the Texans could add some corner depth.

    Pick change; previously Travis Long, DE/OLB

  28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Joseph Fauria, TE, UCLA
    As I've said a bunch of times, Charlie Campbell (@DraftCampbell) has informed me that the Buccaneers will be targeting a tight end in the 2013 NFL Draft. Dallas Clark is a worn-down free agent, while Luke Stocker has been a disappointment thus far. Josh Freeman needs a consistent intermediate target.

    Pick change; previously John Lotulelei, OLB

  29. Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Boyd, DE/DT, Mississippi State
    The Bengals lost Pat Sims in free agency this offseason, so they may want to bring in a new defensive tackle.

    Pick change; previously Cory Grissom, DT

  30. Atlanta Falcons: Ace Sanders, WR, South Carolina
    The Falcons have absolutely zero depth at receiver. They need some help with that, as well as a potential successor for Roddy White.

    Pick change; previously Rod Sweeting, CB

  31. Baltimore Ravens: Stepfon Jefferson, RB, Nevada
    Baltimore doesn't really need another running back, but with so many draft picks, why not? The Ravens would have a nice one-two punch with Bernard Pierce and Stepfon Jefferson in the event of a Ray Rice injury.

    Pick change; previously Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB

  32. Baltimore Ravens: Keith Pough, ILB, Howard
    Considering their depth issues at inside linebacker, the Ravens may spend two draft picks on the position.

    Pick change; previously Kenjon Barner, RB

  33. Houston Texans: Jason Weaver, OT, Southern Miss
    The Texans want to bolster their offensive line this offseason. They're very thin at tackle.

    Pick change; previously Aaron Hester, CB

  34. Tennessee Titans: Zach Rogers, WR, Tennessee
    The Titans are apparently going to part ways with Nate Washington soon, so here's some receiver help.

    Pick change; previously Zac Stacy, RB

  35. Baltimore Ravens: Tommy Bohanon, FB, Wake Forest
    The Ravens may bring in someone to compete with Vonta Leach. The incumbent fullback is an impending free agent and is due $3 million in 2013.

    Pick change; previously Vinston Painter, OT

  36. Kansas City Chiefs: Xavier Nixon, OT, Florida
    The Chiefs could use another tackle if they end up trading Branden Albert.

  37. Oakland Raiders: Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB, Illinois
    The Raiders saw Michael Buchanan at the Senior Bowl, so they may bring him in to help bolster their pathetic pass rush.

    Pick change; previously Latavius Murray, RB

  38. Pittsburgh Steelers: Denard Robinson, RB/WR/KR, Michigan
    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 Omoregie Uzzi, G
