129. Houston Texans: Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern
     The Texans will be searching for a backup running back this offseason with Ben Tate bound to sign elsewhere.
     
     
130. Washington Redskins: Bruce Ellington, WR, South Carolina
     After Pierre Garcon, the Redskins barely have any receiving talent on their roster. They could easily draft two wideouts in May.
     
     
131. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Lamin Barrow, ILB, LSU
     The Buccaneers need to get stronger in the middle of their defense, and they've apparently taken a liking to Lamin Barrow, as you can see in the NFL Draft Prospect Meetings List.
     
     
132. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mike Davis, WR, Texas
     Considering that Justin Blackmon is suspended indefinitely, the Jaguars will want to add some depth to their receiving corps.
     
     
     
     
     
133. Cleveland Browns: E.J. Gaines, CB, Missouri
     The Browns could use an upgrade across from Joe Haden, but this pick is about adding needed depth at the position.
     
     
134. Seattle Seahawks: Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida
     The Seahawks will also need depth at corner, given what has happened with Brandon Browner. Walter Thurmond is a free agent as well.
     
     
135. Atlanta Falcons: Seantrel Henderson, OT, Miami
     As you can read in our 2014 NFL Draft Rumors page, offensive line coach Mike Tice really took a liking to Seantrel Henderson at the Senior Bowl.
     
     
136. Minnesota Vikings: Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina
     The Vikings used one of three first-rounders on a defensive tackle last year, but they may have to double dip at the position with Kevin Williams hitting free agency.
     
     
137. Buffalo Bills: Jon Halapio, G, Florida
     The Bills never replaced Andy Levitre, so they'll need to do something about the guard position.
     
     
138. Jacksonville Jaguars: Richard Rodgers, TE, California
     The Jaguars may want to add a second tight end to go along with Marcedes Lewis. Their new quarterback will need all the help he can get.
     
     
139. Tennessee Titans: Khairi Fortt, ILB, California
     The Titans are meeting with D'Qwell Jackson, so they obviously want to do something about the inside linebacker position.
     
     
140. New York Giants: Ego Ferguson, DT, LSU
     Linval Joseph will command a huge contract this offseason, so the Giants may not be able to retain him.
     
     
     
     
     
141. St. Louis Rams: Will Sutton, DT, Arizona State
     Based on his contract, Kendall Langford won't be around for much longer in St. Louis. The Rams will have to find someone who will be able to take over as soon as 2015.
     
     
142. New York Jets: Victor Hampton, CB, South Carolina
     Here's more help for the secondary. Antonio Cromartie will be a cap casualty this offseason.
     
     
143. Miami Dolphins: Tyler Larsen, C, Utah State
     The Dolphins appear to be standing by Mike Pouncey, who was part of the entire bullying scandal. However, Pouncey is also dealing with some other issues, so Miami could look for a center in the middle rounds.
     
     
144. Chicago Bears: Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia
     If Josh McCown leaves, the Bears won't have anyone capable behind the oft-injured Jay Cutler.
     
     
145. Pittsburgh Steelers: Andre Williams, RB, Boston College
     The Steelers will probably look to use a mid- or late-round pick on a running back for depth purposes.
     
     
146. Dallas Cowboys: Michael Sam, DE, Missouri
     The Cowboys need another pass-rusher, and as Michael Sam stated a thousand times during his Combine press conference, he can get to the quarterback.
     
     
147. Jacksonville Jaguars: Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty
     The Jaguars definitely need some help at corner to help combat Andrew Luck.
     
     
148. Arizona Cardinals: Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU
     Rashard Mendenhall is a free agent, but that's for the best because he stinks. The Cardinals have to find someone to split carries with Andre Ellington.
     
     
     
     
     
149. Green Bay Packers: Kenny Ladler, S, Vanderbilt
     Is there any doubt that the Packers need to improve their secondary? Their defensive backfield blew so many coverages throughout the season, and they had no chance against Colin Kaepernick.
     
     
150. Philadelphia Eagles: Dri Archer, RB/WR, Kent State
     I wanted to slot Dri Archer earlier, but the Kent State product is a weapon I'm sure Chip Kelly would love to have in his offense.
     
     
151. Kansas City Chiefs: Anthony Steen, G, Alabama
     The Chiefs will be making multiple selections for their offensive line if they can't address the area in free agency.
     
     
152. Cincinnati Bengals: Logan Thomas, QB, Virginia Tech
     The Bengals will keep sticking with Andy Dalton, but they'll need to develop a quarterback just in case Dalton can't get them over the first-round hump.
     
     
     
     
     
153. San Diego Chargers: Storm Johnson, RB, Central Florida
     The Chargers don't really have anything at running back behind Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead, so they'll need to add depth.
     
     
154. Indianapolis Colts: Charles Leno, G/OT, Boise State
     Adding an offensive linemen who can play multiple positions would be a good idea for the Colts, who have issues up front.
     
     
155. New Orleans Saints: Will Clarke, DE/DT, West Virginia
     The Saints, who are still transitioning into their 3-4, could use some depth up front behind Cameron Jordan and Akiem Hicks.
     
     
156. Carolina Panthers: Michael Schofield, OT, Michigan
     The Panthers already needed a tackle before Jordan Gross' retirement, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they double dipped at the position.
     
     
157. Philadelphia Eagles: Justin Ellis, NT, Louisiana Tech
     The Eagles are another team in Year 2 of a scheme change that needs to add 3-4 depth personnel to the defensive front.
     
     
158. San Francisco 49ers: Bryan Stork, C, Florida State
     Jonathan Goodwin probably won't be back with the 49ers. Daniel Kilgore will take his place, but San Francisco will have to find a reserve center.
     
     
159. Denver Broncos: James Hurst, OT, North Carolina
     The Broncos are considering moving Orlando Franklin inside, which would open up a big need at right tackle.
     
     
160. Seattle Seahawks: C.J. Fiedeorowicz, TE, Iowa
     There's a chance Zach Miller won't be back next year, so the Seahawks will have to find another tight end to go along with Luke Willson.
