16. Baltimore Ravens
Eric Ebron

With Dennis Pitta locked up and Torrey Smith joining Steve, the Ravens could look to add to their offensive line or their defense but finding no one worth this pick they go with the dual tight end that can create mismatches all over the field. Ebron is athletic and catches the ball well which should help Joe Flacco earn that big contract.

17. Dallas Cowboys
Ra’Shede Hageman

Hageman is the next in line big body after Donald and Nix, and the Cowboys need a big body, as well as a few pass rushers. Hageman is not a known name and has his flaws but the Cowboys need to take care of their defensive line and he helps.

18. New York Jets
Ha-Ha Clinton Dix

This pick is by no means assuming that the Jets answered their needs at the skilled positions with Eric Decker but Dix completes the Rex Ryan defense with a player he hasn’t had since Ed Reed, not the one from last year mind you. Dix could suffer the curse of Alabama players history but Ryan sees a player who can hold down the secondary in him.

19. Miami Dolphins
Zack Martin

Martin is the popular pick here a the Dolphins still need to add to their offensive line even after signing Branden Albert in Free Agency. The Dolphins have been aggressive in free agency but could shore up their line here.

20. Arizona Cardinals
Bradley Roby

This could be a spot for Dee Ford but Roby’s performance at the Combine shot him right back into the mix of the first round. If the Browns go with another position with the #4 pick this is a spot that trying to trade up for Johnny Manziel, other teams could get in the mix as well. For the Cardinals pairing Roby with Patrick Peterson allows him to develop while playing against the other teams’ number 2 receivers.
