6. Atlanta Falcons
Jake Matthews
Tackle, Texas A&M
After a season in which the wheels fell off for the Falcons getting Julio Jones back from injury should bring them back to contending. Adding an offensive lineman that’ll keep Matt Ryan upright would be my main concern.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Greg Robinson
Tackle, Auburn
In Lovie’s first draft as a Buccaneer it is pretty clear cut that he will be looking for a QB, but with the way the draft has gone so far at 7 I would look elsewhere. Focus on your great running back Doug Martin and draft an offensive lineman who is tremendous at run blocking.
8. Minnesota Vikings
Khalil Mack
LB, Buffalo
The Vikings need a quarterback, but drafting one this high feels like bit of rebuilding mode. I strongly considered a wide receiver, but the defense has a lot of holes to fill. Replacing Jarred Allen should be priority number one, but I absolutely love Khalil Mack out of the University of Buffalo.
9. Buffalo Bills
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
Safety, Alabama
With letting Jairus Byrd go to free agency I would answer right back with selecting a safety that is a proven winner. Adding more players who are accustomed to winning is something Buffalo could use in the locker room.
10. Detroit Lions
Darqueze Dennard
CB, Michigan State
It was so tempting to select Mike Evans here, but the defensive side of the ball needs help much more. Adding a number two wide receiver is crucial in this draft, but Detroit can do that later.
