-
Kansas City Chiefs: Latavius Murray, RB, Central Florida
The Chiefs lost Peyton Hillis, so they need a power back to complement Jamaal Charles.

Pick change; previously Landry Jones, QB
-
Jacksonville Jaguars: Kevin Reddick, LB, North Carolina
The Jaguars have a pretty lackluster linebacking corps, as Russell Allen and Geno Hayes currently surround Paul Posluszny.
Pick change; previously J.C. Tretter, G
-
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.
-
Detroit Lions: William Gholston, DE/DT, Michigan State
With both Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril gone, the Lions may double up on defensive ends.
Pick change; previously Michael Williams, TE
-
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.
-
Cleveland Browns: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
Josh Gordon improved as the 2012 season went along, but the Browns need another receiver to go along with the inconsistent Greg Little.
-
Arizona Cardinals: David Bass, DE/OLB, Missouri Western
If the Cardinals can't land Dion Jordan or Ezekiel Ansah at No. 7, they'll have to find someone else later in the draft to compete for the starting job across from Sam Acho.
Pick change; previously Hugh Thornton, G
-
New York Jets: Zac Dysert, QB, Miami of Ohio
The Jets have to draft a quarterback at some point, and it looks like it's going to be Zac Dysert. New York has shown a ridiculous amount of interest in him.
-
Tennessee Titans: Zac Stacy, RB, Vanderbilt
Tennessee may spend a late-round pick on a running back. Someone to challenge Shonn Greene for the No. 2 job wouldn't hurt.
-
Buffalo Bills: Lavar Edwards, DE, LSU
The Bills spent tons of money on Mario Williams and Mark Anderson last offseason, but while the former picked up his play after the bye, the latter was dreadful whenever he was on the field. Buffalo needs to put as much pressure on the quarterback if it wants to unseat the Patriots in the division.
-
New Orleans Saints: Chris Faulk, OT/G, LSU
The Saints have to find tackle help at some point. They've shown interest in local product Chris Faulk.
Pick change; previously T.J. McDonald, S
-
San Diego Chargers: Marc Anthony, CB, California
Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason are no longer on the roster. The Chargers signed Derek Cox, but they need another corner.
-
Miami Dolphins: Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State
The Dolphins don't seem to like Daniel Thomas very much, so they may consider a mid-round complement for Lamar Miller.
Pick change; previously A.J. Klein, ILB
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: A.J. Klein, ILB, Iowa State
In addition to fixing their defensive line and cornerback corps, the Buccaneers have to do something about their linebacking situation. They should look into drafting a middle linebacker and moving Mason Foster outside.
Pick change; previously Kevin Reddick, ILB
-
Carolina Panthers: Akeem Spence, DT, Illinois
Though they have limited picks, it wouldn't surprise me if the Panthers doubled up on defensive tackles because that area is so incredibly weak.
-
St. Louis Rams: Oday Aboushi, G/OT, Virginia
The Rams will probably want to draft more than one offensive lineman just in case they end up trading Rodger Saffold.
-
Pittsburgh Steelers: Josh Boyce, WR, TCU
Here is some much-needed help for Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers need a new wideout after losing Mike Wallace.
-
Dallas Cowboys: Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State
Here's some more defensive line help for the Cowboys, as they transition into their new 4-3 scheme.
-
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 Mike Catapano, DE
-
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.
-
Washington Redskins: Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
The Redskins have to fix their secondary, but something else they should do is find some help at receiver. I think they'll do that if they get good value.
-
Minnesota Vikings: Alvin Bailey, G, Arkansas
It's possible the Vikings could double dip at guard because Charlie Johnson and Brandon Fusco were so pedestrian in 2012. That makes it so much more amazing that Adrian Peterson nearly broke the rushing record.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Green Bay Packers: Kwame Geathers, NT, Georgia
Kwame Geathers doesn't fill an immediate need, but he would help with depth right away. More importantly, he'd provide the Packers with a successor for Ryan Pickett and insurance just in case they can't retain B.J. Raji, who will be a free agent next spring.
Pick change; previously Joseph Randle, RB
-
Houston Texans: Tavarres King, WR, Georgia
The Texans obviously need a receiver across from Andre Johnson, but they also have to find a future replacement for the perennial Pro Bowler. That's why they could double up at the position.
Pick change; previously Vince Williams, ILB
-
Denver Broncos: Devonte Holloman, OLB, South Carolina
The Broncos don't have the greatest depth at linebacker, so a late-round pick could be used to bolster this area.
-
Washington Redskins: Rod Sweeting, CB, Georgia Tech
With so many cornerbacks heading for free agency next spring, the Redskins may double up on the position.
-
Atlanta Falcons: Stansly Maponga, DE/OLB, TCU
The Falcons could double up on defensive ends in the first few rounds. They don't really know what they're going to get out of Osi Umenyiora. If Umenyiora struggles like he did in 2012, two new ends will be needed.
-
Cleveland Browns: Brian Winters, G, Kent State
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.
-
Baltimore Ravens: Montori Hughes, NT, Tennessee-Martin
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 Kwame Geathers, NT
-
Miami Dolphins: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
The Dolphins want to draft a tight end early in an ideal world, but that wasn't possible in this mock. Using a mid-rounder on someone like Dion Sims is an alternative.
-
Green Bay Packers: Brandon Jenkins, DE/OLB, Florida State
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.
-
Baltimore Ravens: Nico Johnson, ILB, Alabama
The Ravens lost Ray Lewis to retirement and Dannell Ellerbe to the Dolphins this offseason. They're obviously desperate for inside linebacker help.
