#25 – New England Patriots – Spencer Drango – OT – Baylor
Their win in Week 5 didn’t erase the fact that Tom Brady still isn’t getting the necessary protection in order for the New England Patriots offense to function. Spencer Drango would bring much needed talent and flexibility to an otherwise mediocre line.
#26 – Dallas Cowboys – Shaq Thompson – OLB – Washington
Rod Marinelli deserves Assistant Coach of the Year for the miracle he’s pulled off with the Dallas Cowboys defense. Still, it doesn’t erase their ongoing problems at linebacker. The instinctive and speedy Shaq Thompson is a great fit for their system.
#27 – Philadelphia Eagles – Dorial Green-Beckham – WR – Oklahoma
There are two things Chip Kelly holds in high regard: size and speed. So when he comes across a player that has both, he’s bound to take a long look at them for the Philadelphia Eagles. Dorial Green-Beckham fits that bill.
#28 – Cincinnati Bengals – Sammie Coates – WR – Auburn
Once again the Patriots proved that the Cincinnati Bengals are only as good as their talent provides. Andy Dalton can never see his arsenal of weapons diminish. Sammie Coates can bring a huge speed element on offense, as well as return ability on special teams.
