63. Kansas City Chiefs: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers
    The Chiefs recently cut Stanford Routt, so the cornerback position will be a priority for them this offseason.

    Pick change; previously Margus Hunt, DE/DT
    
    
64. Jacksonville Jaguars: Sean Porter, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
    If Gene Smith is fired, the Jaguars won'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.
    
    Pick change; previously William Gholston, DE
    
    
65. Cleveland Browns: Travis Frederick, G/C, Wisconsin
    The Browns need to improve their interior blocking because Trent Richardson's just not getting any running lanes. Jason Pinkston suffered a potentially career-threatening blood clot in his lungs, so Cleveland will definitely be searching for a guard.
    
    Pick change; previously Larry Warford, G
    
    
66. San Francisco 49ers: Khaled Holmes, C, USC
    The 49ers could use some help on the offensive line. Khaled Holmes could eventually take over for Jonathan Goodwin, who will be 34 in December.
    
    Pick change; previously Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB
    
    
    
    
    
67. Philadelphia Eagles: Bennett Jackson, CB, Notre Dame
    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. And as crazy as it would have sounded 15 months ago, it's quite apparent that Nnamdi Asomugha will be cut. Asomugha, 32 in July, will be due a whopping $15 million in 2013. He's been terrible, so there's no way he'll be back with the team.
    
    Pick change; previously Oday Aboushi, OT
    
    
68. Washington Redskins: Michael Buchanan, DE/OLB, Illinois
    The Redskins learned the hard way that they have absolutely nothing at rush linebacker behind Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan.
    
    Pick change; previously Da'Rick Rogers, WR
    
    
69. 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 beyond a crucial drop against the Patriots.
    
    
70. Oakland Raiders: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
    The Raiders will need to upgrade their offensive line. Khalif Barnes cannot be a starter in this league.
    
    Pick change; previously Ezekiel Ansah, DE
    
    
71. Buffalo Bills: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
    The Bills have to find help for their cornerbacks. Both Aaron Williams and Terrence McGee are struggling this year, while Leodis McKelvin is due to hit free agency this March.
    
    
72. St. Louis Rams: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
    Here's a weapon for Sam Bradford. The Rams don't have anything at tight end, as Lance Kendricks has been a huge disappointment.
    
    
73. Tennessee Titans: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma
    The Titans have major problems at safety. Jordan Babineaux is just a marginal talent, while Michael Griffin has inexplicably dropped off this year. At first, it was believed he was struggling because he was at strong safety instead of free safety, but he's continued to play poorly despite moving back to his natural spot.
    
    Pick change; previously Robert Lester, S
    
    
74. Miami Dolphins: Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State
    Something the Dolphins must do this offseason is find some linebacker depth because they're awfully thin there.
    
    Pick change; previously Jonathan Brown, OLB
    
    
    
    
    
75. New Orleans Saints: Leon McFadden, CB, San Diego State
    I'm giving the historically inept Saints' defense the best player available to help fix their stop unit.
    
    
76. Dallas Cowboys: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
    Tony Romo will turn 33 just prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. The Cowboys will have to think about bringing in a young quarterback.
    
    
77. Arizona Cardinals: Michael Mauti, ILB, Penn State
    Paris Lenon will be a free agent this offseason, while Stewart Bradley, a colossal waste of money, will be cut soon.
    
    
78. Detroit Lions: William Gholston, DE, Michigan State
    The Lions have taken chances on players like William Gholston. He's the best player available and fills a need. Kyle Vanden Bosch likely won't be back with the team next season because of his $5 million salary, while the other exterior pass-rushers, excluding Cliff Avril, have barely done anything this year.
    
    Pick change; previously Mario Benavides, C/G
    
    
79. Cincinnati Bengals: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
    BenJarvus Green-Ellis has fumbled several times this year, which is terrible news for him because ball security was his only positive trait.
    
    
80. San Diego Chargers: Zac Dysert, QB, Miami of Ohio
    Philip Rivers will be a free agent after the 2014 season. Will the Chargers re-sign him to a long-term deal if he continues to choke in the clutch and show signs of regression? They should probably bring in a young quarterback as insurance.
    
    
81. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
    Da'Quan Bowers tore his Achilles in early May, while Michael Bennett will be a free agent in March. The defensive end position will have to be addressed next offseason.
    
    Pick change; previously Arthur Brown, LB
    
    
82. Minnesota Vikings: Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin
    Phil Loadholt will be a free agent this offseason. The Vikings will need a replacement if they can't retain him.
    
    Pick change; previously Aaron Dobson, WR
    
    
    
    
    
83. Seattle Seahawks: Jonathan Brown, OLB, Illinois
    Another second-day linebacker for Seattle. The Seahawks re-signed Leroy Hill this offseason, but that was only for a year. They may find someone else if they're unhappy with him.
    
    Pick change; previously Gerald Hodges, LB
    
    
84. New York Giants: Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina
    The Giants have issues in the middle of their defense. The safety position is a problem, as is inside linebacker. Chase Blackburn shouldn't be starting, while Keith Rivers, a free agent in March, can never get healthy.
    
    
85. Pittsburgh Steelers: Shawn Williams, S, Georgia
    Troy Polamalu can't seem to get healthy, while Ryan Clark, who just turned 33, will be entering his contract year. The Steelers need to get younger at safety.
    
    
86. Indianapolis Colts: Trevardo Williams, DE/OLB, Connecticut
    I'm not sure why the Colts retained both Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis when they're in rebuilding mode, but they'll need to find someone next spring who can step in and start once either of them moves on (which very easily could be next year). Freeney is due $14 million in 2013, so it's difficult to see him returning, especially considering that he's struggled since returning from injury.
    
    
    
    
    
87. Green Bay Packers: Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida
    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, so the Packers may address the running back position early in the 2013 NFL Draft.
    
    
88. Denver Broncos: Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
    John Fox loves using multiple selections on the running back position. The Broncos took Ronnie Hillman in April, and Stepfan Taylor would be a good complement.
    
    
89. New England Patriots: Datone Jones, DE, UCLA
    Chandler Jones has had a monstrous rookie campaign thus far, but the Patriots need someone across from him to get to the quarterback, as Jermaine Cunningham has been a disappointment.
    
    
90. San Francisco 49ers: James Gayle, DE/OLB, Virginia Tech
    The 49ers have a fantastic defense, but they have a serious lack of depth at rush linebacker. With so few needs, they can afford to take the best player available to address that problem.
    
    Pick change; previously Terry Hawthorne, CB
    
    
91. Baltimore Ravens: Terry Hawthorne, CB, Illinois
    The Ravens suddenly have glaring issues at cornerback. Lardarius Webb tore an ACL for the second time in his career, while Cary Williams will be a free agent in March.
    
    Pick change; previously Bacarri Rambo, S
    
    
92. Miami Dolphins: Omoregie Uzzi, G, Georgia Tech
    The Dolphins need to fix the right side of their offensive line so Ryan Tannehill has more time in the pocket. John Jerry should be upgraded.
    
    Pick change; previously Stedman Bailey, WR
    
    
93. Houston Texans: Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
    Glover Quin is a free agent this upcoming offseason. It'll be difficult to retain him with Connor Barwin also hitting the market.
    
    Pick change; previously Duke Williams, S
    
    
94. Atlanta Falcons: Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
    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 Johnny Adams, CB
