11. Tennessee Titans
Justin Gilbert

The Titans lost their top corner and Gilbert is the top one in this draft. Ray Horton can manufacture pressure and Ken Whisenhunt can make the offense work. Adding a top flight cover guy is a must in a pressure defense.

12. New York Giants
Taylor Lewan

Eli Manning needs protected. Lewan is the best option left in the draft. Tom Coughlin could be the perfect coach for him, but also might be turned away by the off-the-field stuff.

13. St. Louis Rams
Hasean Clinton Dix

After getting the offensive tackle the Rams get their back line safety in Clinton Dix. Gilbert would be a solid pick here as well but instead the Rams address the other part of their secondary.

14. Chicago Bears
Darqueze Dennard

The Bears play the Packers and Lions twice. They need cornerbacks. Dennard is a big tough cornerback that may never be at the Richard Sherman/Joe Haden level but will provide solid coverage for years to come.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Odell Beckham Jr.

The Steelers need weapons to help Big Ben get through his last few seasons of his prime. Beckham could be the best WR in this class in 3 years and gives the Steelers more ways to beat their AFC North opponents. A DB would fit as well but with 3 off the board the Steelers sit tight.
