16. Baltimore Ravens
Lewan was the pick here last time but with him off the board the Ravens fill in with a defensive playmaker for the interior of their linebacking core. The Ravens could go in a number of directions here, including another pass rusher, but take the veteran from Alabama. Ozzie Newsome loves his Tide players.
17. Dallas Cowboys
Calvin Pryor
The Cowboys pickup a big hitter for their defense after missing out on Donald. Pryor can play in coverage but provides the hammer to help cover the run and break up passes in the secondary.
18. New York Jets
Bradley Roby
The Jets have not filled their cornerback needs yet and Roby is one of the finest. While a receiver would be a need pick here as well, not getting a corner to fill Rex Ryan’s defensive need could be a killer.
19. Miami Dolphins
Zach Martin
Offensive lineman meet the Dolphins. Dolphins meet an offensive lineman. If the Dolphins somehow unload Mike Wallace, very doubtful, then a receiver is in play here as well.
20. Arizona Cardinals
Johnny Manziel
Again a pick that seems to make some sense is Manziel to the Cardinals. The Cardinals, like teams ahead of them, will be auctioning off this pick for anyone looking to move up for a QB. Instead they take Manziel and let him develop with Bruce Arians. Manziel’s fit in the NFL and how teams feel about him is as up in the air as the clouds at this point.
