6. Atlanta Falcons
Jake Matthews

The Falcons don’t get any of their top 3 options but settle for Matthews here. They could look to move up in the draft but have seen that backfire in the past. In a deep draft is the difference between Matthews and Robinson or say Dee Ford and Jadeveon Clowney worth a 2nd rounder?

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Mike Evans

Evans rises here to give the Bucs some complimentary piece on the outside. A QB is an option but Lovie Smith built a win now team in the off-season and continues it here with the big redzone threat.

8. Minnesota Vikings
Derek Carr

Carr could be drafted anywhere from 4 down to the second round. He is the perfect long term fit for the Norv Turner offense, especially with the Vikings moving outdoors.

9. Buffalo Bills
Eric Ebron

The Bills need to either protect their franchise QB or give him more weapons. Ebron is a weapon and should help the Bills’ offense take a step forward with his size and athleticism.

10. Detroit Lions
Ha Ha Clinton Dix

The Lions find themselves in a very interesting place. With a few stud DTs available but no real need they upgrade their backend with Dix. This off-season showed how valuable safeties are and Dix rises up the board because of it.
