21. Cincinnati Bengals

56. Erik: People might be upset I didn’t go defense but the value of getting La’El Collins at the 21<sup>st</sup> pick demanded it.  He is arguably the most polished offensive lineman in the entire class, a man who can run and pass block with equal efficiency and nastiness.  He’s good enough to play tackle but projects even better on the inside, which for an immobile quarterback like Andy Dalton is more important.  It’s a good pick.. Offensive Lineman. LSU. La'El Collins. 21. player

22. Pittsburgh Steelers

55. Charles: I’m a big fan of Kevin Johnson’s game. He plays with a swagger, has great coverage skills, and isn’t afraid to tackle in the run game. Turn on Wake Forest’s game against Florida State and you’ll see a corner that plays with swagger and attitude. Perfect fit for the Steelers who badly need some reinforcements at corner.. Cornerback. Wake Forest. Kevin Johnson. 22. player

23. Detroit Lions

Stanford. Andrus Peat. 23. player. 50. Sayre: The Lions might have bigger needs but Peat is a guy that I have ranked as one of the top-three tackles in this class and falling to 23, I simply could not pass up. He is a stud.. Offensive Tackle

24. Arizona Cardinals

32. Tyler: The Cardinals need to replace Larry Foote. In steps McKinney, he would make an already imposing defense that much stronger. McKinney is huge at 6-5 249 lbs — adding him can make Arizona’s defense that much stronger for years to come.. Linebacker. Mississippi State. Benardrick McKinney. 24. player

25. Carolina Panthers

87. Joe: Carolina needs a guy that can come in and “be a wall”. Flowers is the pick here if that’s the case. He’s the strongest player in this class. While raw, Flowers will thrive with NFL coaching.. Offensive Tackle. Pittsburgh. T.J. Clemmings. 25. player

26. Indianapolis Colts (from Ravens)

46. Geoff: (From BAL for 1st and 4th in 2014) — The Colts haven’t had any bit of a run game for a few years now. If it weren’t for injuries, Gurley would be a top-15 pick, so this is good value for the Colts and will finally give Pep Hamilton a weapon in the Colts’ backfield.. Running Back. Georgia. Todd Gurley. 26. player

27. Seattle Seahawks (from Cowboys)

Sayre: I traded up with the Cowboys here (mid-round picks) to get a guy in Shaq Thompson that attacks the football, plays multiple positions and can be an absolute stud in this defense. Whatever position the Seahawks want him to play, I can’t think of a better unit to put him in to make him a star.. Linebacker. Washington. Shaq Thompson. 27. player. 36

28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from Broncos)

48. Charles: Buccaneers trade the 34th pick and 106th pick to the Broncos for the 28th pick — Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com reported that the Buccaneers really like Flowers, but they think he’ll go too high and they won’t be able to get him. Luckily in this scenario, Flowers dropped to the end of the first round so the Buccaneers traded up and snagged him. Winston, Flowers, Mike Evans, Doug Martin, and Austin Sefarian-Jenkins is a solid, young offensive core for Tampa Bay.. Offensive Tackle. Miami. Ereck Flowers. 28. player

29. Baltimore Ravens (from Colts)

player. 26. Erik: Joe Flacco needs a surge of help at wide receiver.  Steve Smith is advancing in age and Torrey Smith is a free agent with no guarantees to return.  Trading back and then getting Jaelen Strong would be a major win for Ozzie Newsome.  He showed at the combine he’s a better athlete than people realize with good and explosive leaping ability.  Couple that with big-play mentality and it’s a great pick.. Wide Receiver. Arizona State. Jaelen Strong. 29

30. Green Bay Packers

Maxx Williams. 30. player. 49. Joe: My guy Maxx Williams will go in the first round. He’s simply too talented to fall any further than the tail-end of this Draft. The Packers an improve in a lot of areas, but Aaron Rodgers would love having an athletic guy like Williams in his offense.. Tight end. Minnesota

31. Dallas Cowboys (From Seahawks)

Linebacker. Miami. Denzel Perryman. 31. player. 123. George: Rolando McClain, Bruce Carter and Justin Durant are all free agents at the end of this season, creating a need at the position.  Sean Lee is coming off an ACL injury, and if McClain comes back he is facing a drug-related suspension. Perryman is a great value pick for Jerry Jones.

32. New England Patriots

Defensive End. Oregon. Arik Armstead. 32. player. 47. Erik: Too easy.  People have seen Arik Armstead going somewhere in the top half of the 1<sup>st</sup> round, so for the New England Patriots to get him at #32 is an outright steal.  Bill Belichick will know exactly what to do with him.  Armstead is a freak of nature with size, length and power.  He can dominate against the run and has tons of potential in the pass rush department.
