player. 32. The Arizona Cardinals, which once had the deepest reservoir of talent at the WR position in the NFL, is now desperately seeking a number one receiver. Mike Williams has created questions about his separation abilities, but there might not be a better receiver in this year’s draft. This is a good value for Arizona and a good spot for him to land.. Mike Williams, WR. Clemson. Arizona Cardinals. 13

54. Tre’Davious White is a physical cornerback that can play press-man or zone coverage and excel in either area. The Philadelphia Eagles went all out in free agency improving the offensive side of the ball, but the defensive backfield — particularly at cornerback — needs attention. This good news for them, since the class of corners this year is incredible.. Tre'Davious White, CB. LSU. Philadelphia Eagles. 14. player

Cam Robinson, OT. Alabama. Indianapolis Colts. 15. player. 46. The Indianapolis Colts continue to invest in protecting Andrew Luck. They can go the Laremy Tunsil route with Cam Robinson, who believes he is the best offensive lineman in this year’s draft by playing him at guard initially and then kicking him over to tackle. They have Anthony Castonzo, so perhaps Robinson will progress to the right tackle spot first. At any rate, keeping Andrew Luck upright is of paramount importance. Robinson can help do that.

O.J. Howard, TE. Alabama. Baltimore Ravens. 16. player. 26. Ozzie Newsome, a legendary NFL tight end and Alabama alum, has a chance to come full-circle with this pick. The Ravens have a number of young players at TE, but none that can make as big of a difference for them this year as OJ Howard, who would also fit the BPA strategy. Howard is the best TE I have probably ever scouted. Newsome might not be able to pass on him if he’s on the board.
