7. Chicago Bears
Southern California. Leonard Williams. 7. player. 57. Jarvis Jenkins and Ray McDonald are both on one-year deals. McDonald has his off-the-field history and Jenkins was a washout in Washington. That means nothing is settled at defensive end for the Chicago Bears. That changes the second they hand in the card for Leonard Williams, perhaps the best prospect in this class.. Defensive Tackle
8. Atlanta Falcons
44. None of the names added by the Atlanta Falcons on defense bring the reputation of solving their long-standing pass rush problems. Randy Gregory may have raw game and the marijuana red flag, but he also has top 5 talent and can dominate pro level tackles once his game starts to mature. That is what they are missing. It’s worth the risk.. Defensive End. Nebraska. Randy Gregory. 8. player
9. New York Giants
9. player. 31. Antrel Rolle? Gone. Stevie Brown and Quintin Demps? Un-signed but showing no signs of returning. Suddenly the New York Giants are bereft of anything and everything at safety, which has never suited them well. It’s a position they covet and unless something changes, they risk leaving it barren. Adding Landon Collins would relieve that pressure.. Safety. Alabama. Landon Collins
10. St. Louis Rams
Both guard spots and center were all terrible for the St. Louis Rams last year. Their offensive line as a whole needs to get better. La’El Collins is a tackle but his body, technique and power scream a kick inside to guard. There is no reason to think he can’t handle it and be able to start right away.. Offensive Tackle. LSU. La'El Collins. 10. player. 51
