28. Green Bay Packers: Fletcher Cox, DL, Mississippi State
.The Packers need to add help on the defensive line and Cox is a fast-rising prospect who would fit well in a 3-4 alignment.
.
29. Baltimore Ravens: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
Massive offensive tackle prospect who would add youth to an aging left side of the Baltimore line.
30. San Francisco 49ers: Brandon Thompson, DT, Clemson
.Potential nose tackle replacement for the aging free agent Aubrayo Franklin, the Niners also continue to add to the defensive side of the ball.
.
31. New England Patriots: Jerel Worthy, DL, Michigan State
Patriots continue to add talent to the defensive line to help improve their pass rush. That could help make their defensive backs more effective in the long run.
32. New York Giants: Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
.The Giants have a clear need at tight end if they can’t get healthy in a hurry. Even so, they lack athleticism at the position and Dwayne Allen has been compared to Brandon Pettigrew, so he could be a nice addition.
