21. Green Bay Packers
C.J. Mosley
The Packers could address their offensive line, but that has been picked pretty clean. Instead they get a heady veteran type leader in Mosley to pair with A.J. Hawk in the middle of their defense. A tight end or receiver would also be in play here.
22. Philadelphia Eagles
Cody Latimer
The Eagles have needs in the secondary but have seem very focused on receivers during the pre-draft process. So reading the tea leaves leaves us with Latimer who Chip Kelly has seemed especially smitten with.
23. Kansas City Chiefs
Brandin Cooks
Latimer, or a similar style WR, would be a better fit with the Chiefs needs but Cooks will do just as fine. He isn’t the biggest guy but plays outside more then the slot. He has the ability to play bigger then he is and speed for miles. Andy Reid‘s screen schemes will get him involved quickly.
24. Cincinnati Bengals
Kyle Fuller
The Bengals have a solid defense but are somewhat limited at corner. Injuries hurt them last year and getting another first round talent to buoy that unit is a huge get. A safety would be the perfect pick but none of value seem to be on the board at this point.
25. San Diego Chargers
Jason Verrett
The Chargers could use 2 or 3 corners at this point but also could invest in a young tight end to replace Antonio Gates. Verrett isn’t the biggest guy but plays bigger and just makes plays.
