37. Los Angeles Rams

51. If Sean McVay is going to make Jared Goff a success, he must build a viable offense around him. It always starts with protection. Greg Robinson has failed at left tackle for the Rams. So the team goes about finding somebody else to fill that role. Garett Bolles may be 24-years old but there is no denying his ability. He’s an athletic pass protector. His quick feet and keen senses result in few instances of him getting beaten by rushers. He’ll only get better as he continues to add muscle.. OT. Utah. Garett Bolles . 37. player

38. San Diego Chargers

JuJu Smith-Schuster . 38. player. 13. Injuries ravaged the Chargers receiving position again in 2016 and Philip Rivers once again had to make due with average targets. That offense can’t be expected to reach its full potential without guys who can stay on the field. JuJu Smith-Schuster seems like their kind of solution. Known for his toughness and after-the-catch running ability, he is a danger with the ball in his hands. Maybe not a home run threat, but feed him the ball and watch him create.. WR. USC

39. New York Jets

Pat Elflein . 39. player. 30. The exit of Nick Mangold to free agency leaves not a hole but a gaping chasm in the middle of the New York Jets offensive line. They’ve lost three of their starters from 2016. That is a recipe for disaster, especially with a new quarterback coming in. Pat Elflein could be a quick fix for them. He’s a tough, dependable and athletic center who started plenty of games for one of the top programs in the country. He’s a plug-and-play guy from Day 1. Exactly what they need.. C. Ohio State

40. Carolina Panthers

87. They may not hold the cornerback position in the same high esteem as other teams do but the Panthers aren’t stupid. They know quality corner play was a reason they dominated in 2015 and a reason they collapses last year. More playmakers on the back end will serve them well. Adoree Jackson fits their scheme. Though undersized he’s an explosive athlete who can get his hands on the football. Better still he offers added value in the return game.. CB. USC. Adoree Jackson . 40. player
