13. New Orleans Saints
Alvin Dupree. 13. player. 15. Finding another edge rusher to supplment their pass rush, which was not good last season, is at the top of the to-do list for the New Orleans Saints. With Miami sniping Waynes, they choose to go this route by grabbing super-athletic defensive end Alvin Dupree out of Kentucky who will fit in just fine under Rob Ryan alongside Junior Gallette and Cameron Jordan.. Defensive End. Kentucky
14. Chicago Bears (via Miami)
Washington. Danny Shelton. 14. player. 57. Being able to trade back twice and still get a guy many project going to you at #7 must count as a win, right? That is what the Chicago Bears pull off, collecting some extra picks and still managing to land massive defensive tackle Danny Shelton. At 340 lbs he has the size and power to suffocate teams trying to run anywhere near him. A true 3-4 nose tackle if there was one.. Defensive Tackle
15. San Francisco 49ers
Wide Receiver. Louisville. Amari Cooper. 15. player. 42. Michael Crabtree is all but gone. The same for Stevie Johnson. The San Francisco 49ers need a serious boost of talent at wide receiver. Being able to land Amari Cooper this late is a godsend. He’s the most pro-ready receiver in the class with proven deep threat ability that will take advantage of Colin Kaepernick and that big arm.
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via Houston)
Pittsburgh. T.J. Clemmings. 16. player. 48. A fast riser on draft boards over the past few months. T.J. Clemmings is proving more and more that he has the look of a future left tackle in the NFL. That is why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trade up for him considering their ongoing needs up front. They can certainly afford the cost at this point.. Offensive Tackle
