26. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis)
Bradley Roby

With their QB selected at #4 the Browns could go for a receiver here or a defender. Thought long and hard about giving the team Ryan Shazier, another Buckeye, but Roby fills a bigger need on the team right now. He will need coached up, as he won on talent alone many times at tOSU, but has the physical gifts to be outstanding.

27. New Orleans Saints
Marqise Lee

A smart, intelligent receiver who runs precise routes, Lee is a perfect fit for Drew Brees. Kelvin Benjamin could give the Saints 3 trees with he, Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston but Lee is a more developed player to impact the team sooner.

28. Carolina Panthers
Joel Bitonio

Many want to pencil in a receiver here but unless the Panthers get linemen Cam Newton won’t have much time to throw to any receiver. Bitonio, out of small school Nevada, is rising up boards.

29. New England Patriots
Ra’Shede Hageman

The Patriots will be tempted by Benjamin and other receivers but in the end they add to their defensive front 7 in Hageman. He was dominate at times last year but then disappeared. Bill Bellichick and the Patriot Way should be able to get that out of him.
