Kansas City Chiefs: Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, Connecticut
The Chiefs recently cut Stanford Routt, so the cornerback position will be a priority for them this offseason.

Pick change; previously Nickell Robey, CB
-
Jacksonville Jaguars: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
Rashad Jennings got his chance and failed miserably. The Jaguars need a competent backup running back behind Maurice Jones-Drew.
Pick change; previously Joseph Randle, RB
-
Detroit Lions: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
It's no secret that Detroit has major holes in its secondary. The Lions spent an early pick on Bullet Bill Bentley has been a bit of a disappointment thus far. Unfortunately, Detroit won't be able to see what he can do for the rest of the year because he's on injured reserve.
Pick change; previously Carrington Byndom, CB
-
Oakland Raiders: Kyle Long, OT, Oregon
The Raiders will need to upgrade their offensive line. Khalif Barnes cannot be a starter in this league. Kyle Long would appeal to Oakland fans for obvious reasons.
-
Philadelphia Eagles: Nickell Robey, CB, USC
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. Nnamdi Asomugha will be cut as soon as the season is over. He's been absolutely terrible.
Pick change; previously Bacarri Rambo, S
-
Cleveland Browns: Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
The Browns have a new front office, so they'll want to draft a quarterback in the middle rounds if Colt McCoy is traded.
Pick change; previously Ryan Nassib, QB
-
San Francisco 49ers: Carrington Byndom, CB, Texas
Teams are always looking for cornerback depth, especially if they have extra picks. Besides, Carlos Rogers isn't playing as well this season. He's been solid at times, but has been inconsistent.
Pick change; previously Justin Gilbert, CB
-
Tennessee Titans: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
The Titans have zero depth behind Kamerion Wimbley and Derrick Morgan. They won't have much of a pass rush if either goes down with an injury, so they'll need to address this position.
Pick change; previously Travis Frederick, G/C
-
Arizona Cardinals: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
This is an obvious pick. The Cardinals drafted a quarterback in Round 2, so they cannot allow him to go through what Skelekolbdley has to endure right now. The offensive line absolutely must be addressed ASAP.
Pick change; previously Sean Porter, DE/OLB
-
San Diego Chargers: Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
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.
Pick change; previously Landry Jones, QB
-
Buffalo Bills: Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State
The Bills spent tons of money on Mario Williams and Mark Anderson this offseason, but while the former has picked up his play lately, the latter has been dreadful whenever he's been on the field. Buffalo needs to put as much pressure on the quarterback if it wants to unseat the Patriots in the division.
Pick change; previously Cobi Hamilton, WR
-
New York Jets: Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma
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.
Pick change; previously Tyler Bray, QB
-
New Orleans Saints: Margus Hunt, DE/DT, SMU
The Saints aren't getting much pressure on the quarterback. Cameron Jordan has improved in this department over the second half of the season, but Will Smith looks like a shell of his former self. He's due $10 million in 2013, so he obviously won't be back.
Pick change; previously Tank Carradine, DE
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State
The Buccaneers have two solid linebackers in Lavonte David and Mason Foster, but they need a third to upgrade the pedestrian Quincy Black.
-
Miami Dolphins: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
The Dolphins have two second-round picks because they dealt Vontae Davis to the Colts, so they should probably use one of them on a replacement.
Pick change; previously Logan Ryan, CB
-
St. Louis Rams: Ricky Wagner, OT, Wisconsin
More offensive line help for the Rams. Jason Smith was benched in favor of Barry Richardson and subsequently traded for turnstile Wayne Hunter.
Pick change; previously Brennan Williams, OT
-
Pittsburgh Steelers: Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M
The Steelers never shy away from a play-maker if one provides good value. The butterfingered Mike Wallace could be gone after this season.
-
New York Giants: Jordan Hill, DT, Penn State
Marvin Austin has shown nothing thus far in his career, so the Giants may bring in another young defensive tackle.
-
Dallas Cowboys: Zac Dysert, QB, Miami of Ohio
Tony Romo will turn 33 just prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. The Cowboys will have to think about bringing in a young quarterback.
-
Miami Dolphins: Gerald Hodges, LB, Penn State
Something the Dolphins must do this offseason is find some linebacker depth because they're awfully thin there.
-
Minnesota Vikings: Shayne Skov, ILB, Stanford
The Vikings can do a lot better than Jasper Brinkley at middle linebacker. He's a pretty big liability on their defense.
Pick change; previously Kenny Stills, WR
-
Cincinnati Bengals: Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina
The Bengals have major problems at linebacker. They lost Keith Rivers this past offseason, Manny Lawson will be a free agent in the spring, and Rey Maualuga is arguably one of the worst defensive starters in the NFL. I don't know if he's hurt or what, but he's been awful this season.
Pick change; previously Robert Lester, S
-
Washington Redskins: Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
More help for the Redskins' secondary. Brandon Meriweather cannot be relied upon to stay healthy, and it's not like he was a Pro Bowl talent anyway.
Pick change; previously Jamie Collins, DE/OLB
-
Indianapolis Colts: Sean Porter, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
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 William Gholston, DE/DT
-
Baltimore Ravens: Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU
The Ravens suddenly have glaring issues at cornerback. Lardarius Webb tore an ACL for the second time in his career, while Cary Williams is a free agent.
It appears as though Tyrann Mathieu will enter the 2013 NFL Draft. The Ravens have taken a chance on another troubled cornerback.
-
Seattle Seahawks: Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
Adding play-makers for Russell Wilson has to be a priority for the Seahawks this offseason. Help is also needed at tight end.
-
Green Bay Packers: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
Jermichael Finley will be due close to $8 million in 2013, and Packer fans should be happy about that because Finley is one of the most overrated players in the NFL. He's terribly inconsistent and doesn't appear as though he'll ever live up to expectations.
-
New England Patriots: Travis Frederick, G/C, Wisconsin
Travis Frederick is versatile enough to play every position on the interior, which will appeal to Bill Belichick.
Pick change; previously Shawn Williams, S
-
San Francisco 49ers: E.J. Manuel, QB, Florida State
Alex Smith probably won't be back with the 49ers next year, so Jim Harbaugh could use a mid-round pick on a young quarterback to groom behind Colin Kaepernick.
-
Denver Broncos: Robert Lester, S, Alabama
Denver's young corners have 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.
Pick change; previously Akeem Spence, DT
-
Atlanta Falcons: Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
Michael Turner is done. He's looked like he's been running in quicksand for most of this season, so he won't be on the roster much longer.
-
Houston Texans: Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson
This doesn't fill any sort of current need, but Ben Tate will be a free agent after next season, so the Texans may want to trade him because they can't exactly pay top dollar to two running backs.
