  1. Houston Texans: Billy Turner, OT, North Dakota State
    The Texans could spend a mid-round pick on a right tackle who could potentially challenge for a starting job.

    Pick change; previously JaWuan James, OT

  2. Washington Redskins: Chris Davis, CB, Auburn
    The Redskins just re-signed DeAngelo Hall, but he won't be around much longer. A long-term solution is needed.

    Pick change; previously James Hurst, OT

  3. 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 Visits List.

  4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
    The Jaguars have said that they plan on drafting multiple quarterbacks this May, so they may opt to take their second signal-caller in the fifth round, where they have three picks.



  5. Cleveland Browns: James Gayle, DE/OLB, Virginia Tech
    Paul Kruger predictably failed to live up to his price tag this past season. The Browns may want to bring in another pass-rusher if they have plans on releasing Kruger after the 2014 season.

    Pick change; previously Terrance Mitchell, CB

  6. Seattle Seahawks: Jeff Janis, WR, Saginaw Valley State
    Golden Tate left for Detroit, but the Seahawks needed an upgrade at receiver anyway (Cris Carter would agree).

    Pick change; previously Antone Exum, CB

  7. 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.

  8. Minnesota Vikings: Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern
    The Vikings need some depth behind Adrian Peterson with Toby Gerhart gone.

  9. Buffalo Bills: Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina
    Now that the Bills are moving back to the 4-3, they'll need some depth in their defensive interior.

  10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Gabe Ikard, C, Oklahoma
    Here's some more offensive line help for the Jaguars, who could use someone to challenge for the center job.

  11. Tennessee Titans: JaWuan James, OT, Tennessee
    The Titans signed Michael Oher, but they may add another tackle because Michael Roos isn't going to be around for much longer.

    Pick change; previously David Fales, QB

  12. New York Giants: Caraun Reid, DT, Princeton
    Yet another defensive tackle, thanks to the Giants' glaring lack of depth up front.

    Pick change; previously Calvin Barnett, DT



  13. St. Louis Rams: Ed Stinson, DE/DT, Alabama
    The Rams may want to add some depth on the defensive line, and perhaps a successor for Kendall Langford in a year or two.

  14. New York Jets: Antone Exum, CB, Virginia Tech
    The Jets could easily double dip at the cornerback position, given how troublesome that area is.

    Pick change; previously Marqueston Huff, S

  15. Miami Dolphins: Andre Williams, RB, Boston College
    Daniel Thomas is as good as gone, so the Dolphins may want to bring in a potential new No. 2 running back behind Knowshon Moreno.

  16. Chicago Bears: Jake Murphy, TE, Utah
    The Bears have gone all defense thus far, but they could take a break and add a piece to their offense. They could use another tight end.

    Pick change; previously Brock Vereen, S

  17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Max Bullough, ILB, Michigan State
    The Steelers may spend a mid-round choice on an inside linebacker to address depth issues at that position.

    Pick change; previously Anthony Steen, G

  18. Dallas Cowboys: Cassius Marsh, DE, UCLA
    Considering their major need for pass-rushers, it wouldn't surprise me if the Cowboys doubled up at defensive end during the draft.

    Pick change; previously James Gayle, DE

  19. Jacksonville Jaguars: Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty
    The Jaguars definitely need some help at corner to help combat Andrew Luck.

  20. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Davis, WR, Texas
    The Cardinals lost Andre Roberts, so they may want to find a new tertiary option for Carson Palmer.



  21. Green Bay Packers: Ross Cockrell, CB, Duke
    It wouldn't hurt the Packers to add another corner with Tramon Williams entering his contract year.

    Pick change; previously Tyler Larsen, C

  22. Philadelphia Eagles: Taylor Hart, DE/DT, Oregon
    The Eagles could use two selections on defensive linemen because they are a bit thin up front.

  23. Kansas City Chiefs: Charles Leno, OT/G, Boise State
    After allowing Branden Albert to walk, the Chiefs will want to address the tackle position at some point during the middle rounds if they can't do anything about it in free agency.

  24. Cincinnati Bengals: Michael Sam, DE, Missouri
    Marvin Lewis, who has never been one to worry about locker room distractions, may want Michael Sam to help replace Michael Johnson.



  25. San Diego Chargers: Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers
    Keenan Allen is coming off an outstanding rookie campaign, but the Chargers need to bring in another reliable receiver for Philip Rivers.

    Pick change; previously Ryan Grant, WR

  26. Indianapolis Colts: Kenny Ladler, S, Vanderbilt
    The Colts lost Antoine Bethea to the 49ers, so they may want to add a safety during the 2014 NFL Draft.

    Pick change; previously Ty Zimmerman, S

  27. New Orleans Saints: Deandre Coleman, DE/DT, California
    The Saints, who are still transitioning into their 3-4, could use some depth up front behind Cameron Jordan and Akiem Hicks.

  28. Carolina Panthers: Deion Belue, CB, Alabama
    It shouldn't surprise anyone if the Panthers double up on either position in their thin secondary.

    Pick change; previously Ross Cockrell, CB

  29. New Orleans Saints: Bryan Stork, C, Florida State
    The Saints are very thin on the offensive interior, especially at center.

  30. San Francisco 49ers: Adrian Hubbard, DE/OLB, Alabama
    The 49ers may want some pass-rushing insurance just in case Aldon Smith gets into trouble again.

  31. Denver Broncos: Storm Johnson, RB, Central Florida
    Knowshon Moreno is gone, while the coaching staff doesn't appear to have much faith in Ronnie Hillman.

  32. Seattle Seahawks: Blake Annen, TE, Cincinnati
    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.

    Pick change; previously Aaron Lynch, DE

  33. Pittsburgh Steelers: Anthony Steen, G, Alabama
    The Steelers don't have a big need for offensive linemen, despite what some might think, but they do have to find some depth.

    Pick change; previously Ron Powell, DE/OLB

  34. New York Giants: Nevin Lawson, CB, Utah State
    Most teams are in favor of adding a corner late in the draft, and the Giants haven't addressed the position yet.

  35. Baltimore Ravens: Crockett Gilmore, TE, Colorado State
    Owen Daniels was added for only one year, so the Ravens may want a more long-term solution behind Dennis Pitta.

    Pick change; previously Richard Rodgers, TE

  36. Green Bay Packers: Brett Smith, QB, Wyoming
    Mike McCarthy told the media that he wants to draft a quarterback early. Can you blame him after what happened this past season?

    Pick change; previously Phillip Gaines, CB
