Cleveland Browns: Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee
The Browns had some horrific secondary play last year, as both positions need to be upgraded. Their cornerback situation is pretty dire, so multiple upgrades could be made.

San Francisco 49ers: Julie'n Davenport, OT, Bucknell
The 49ers have nothing at right tackle, yet weren't able to do anything about it in free agency.
Jacksonville Jaguars: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
Both T.J. Yeldon and Chris Ivory have disappointed. If the Jaguars don't select Leonard Fournette, they could take a running back in the mid-rounds.

Chicago Bears: Amara Darboh, WR, Michigan
The Bears lost Alshon Jeffery this offseason, while Kevin White has yet to prove that he can remain healthy. Using an early-round selection on a receiver makes a lot of sense.
Los Angeles Rams: Damore'ea Stringfellow, WR, Ole Miss
Another receiver makes sense for the Rams, and they don't mind players with character concerns.
Los Angeles Chargers: Carl Lawson, DE/OLB, Auburn
The Chargers are moving to a 4-3 and need some personnel for their new scheme.

Washington Redskins: Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech
The Redskins need to replace DeSean Jackson's speed, so Carlos Henderson makes a lot of sense.
Carolina Panthers: Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU
With Ted Ginn gone and Devin Funchess disappointing, the Panthers are expected to select a receiver in Rounds 2-4.
Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M
Cincinnati is planning on doubling up at receiver. When it plans on doing that is unclear, but it should happen at some point.

Chicago Bears: Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia
The Bears signed Prince Amukamara, but that was to a 1-year deal. This pick could be used on a more long-term solution. Help at cornerback is needed for this year as well.
Philadelphia Eagles: Davon Godchaux, DT, LSU
The Eagles traded for Timmy Jernigan, but I still think they'll be in the market for one more defensive tackle because of Beau Allen's injury.

Arizona Cardinals: Jermaine Eluemunor, G, Texas A&M
The Cardinals still have some issues on the offensive line that they need to address, as they need to replace the retired Evan Mathis.
Minnesota Vikings: Ethan Pocic, C/G, LSU
Joe Berger is a 35-year-old heading into his contract season, so the Vikings may want to find a new center.

Indianapolis Colts: Jaleel Johnson, DT, Iowa
The Colts have addressed outside linebacker and inside linebacker thus far. Now, they have to look to the defensive line, which is mostly weak at the moment.
Baltimore Ravens: Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming
The Ravens signed Danny Woodhead, but he won't be enough, especially with Kenneth Dixon being suspended for the first four games.

Washington Redskins: Kyle Fuller, C, Baylor
The Redskins could add a center with Spencer Long due to hit free agency after this season.
Tennessee Titans: Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland
The Titans have Delanie Walker, but he won't be playing for much longer. This would be like the Chargers selecting Hunter Henry despite having Antonio Gates.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jalen Myrick, CB, Minnesota
The Buccaneers tried to sign a cornerback this offseason, but weren't successful. Perhaps they'll go that direction in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Denver Broncos: Charles Walker, DT, Oklahoma
Here's more defensive line help for the Broncos, as Charles Walker appears to be a nice fit in Denver's scheme.

Detroit Lions: Isaiah Ford, WR, Virginia Tech
The Lions will be looking for another receiver at some point to replace Anquan Boldin.
Minnesota Vikings: Deatrich Wise Jr., DE, Arkansas
It never hurts to add more pass-ruhers, and Deatrich Wise Jr. fits the traits the Vikings typically look for in their prospects.
Oakland Raiders: Connor Harris, ILB, Lindenwood
Jelani Jenkins was signed, but that was to a short-term deal. Someone like Connor Harris could be a solution for the long haul.

Houston Texans: Montae Nicholson, S, Michigan State
The Texans need more help in their secondary after losing Quintin Demps to the Bears.
New England Patriots: Howard Wilson, CB, Houston
The Patriots could be trading Malcolm Butler to the Saints. They could be on the lookout for a cornerback, regardless.
Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Wilson, LB, Cincinnati
Derrick Johnson is coming off yet another injury, so it seems clear that his time is running out. The Chiefs will need to find a replacement.

Dallas Cowboys: Xavier Woods, S, Louisiana Tech
The Cowboys lost both J.J. Wilcox and Barry Church this offseason, so I expect them to target a safety early in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Green Bay Packers: Jessamen Dunker, G, Tennessee State
The Packers are going to have two guards - Don Barclay, Lane Taylor - hitting free agency next offseason. A mid-round pick could be used on help.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA
The Steelers could lose Stephon Tuitt next offseason to free agency, so here's a potential replacement.

Atlanta Falcons: Eli McGuire, RB, Louisiana-Lafayette
Devonta Freeman will be a free agent next offseason, so the Falcons could stand to add some insurance at running back.
Indianapolis Colts: Corn Elder, CB, Miami
Vontae Davis is set to become a free agent next offseason. Losing him would hurt, so here's a potential replacement.
Cincinnati Bengals: Aviante Collins, OT, TCU
The Bengals have lots of uncertainty at offensive tackle after losing Andrew Whitworth, so here's their chance to potentially find a solution.
Philadelphia Eagles: Damontae Kazee, CB, San Diego State
As mentioned earlier, the Eagles could double up on cornerbacks early. This works as well.
New York Giants: Zach Banner, G/OT, USC
The Giants are still looking to add an interior offensive lineman, as evidenced by their interest in Nick Mangold. Here's an alternative solution.

Los Angeles Rams: Eddie Jackson, S, Alabama
The Rams lost T.J. McDonald this offseason, so they'll have to find a replacement in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Houston Texans: Brendan Langley, CB, Lamar
A third defensive back in three rounds makes sense. The Texans must attack their secondary.
San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Orlosky, C, West Virginia
Center is one of the many positions the 49ers need to address. They could do that in Rounds 3-5, based on the talent in this draft.
Indianapolis Colts: Wayne Gallman, RB, Clemson
The Colts need to find a successor for Frank Gore, so I'd expect them to pick a running back between the second and fourth rounds.
