11. Kansas City Chiefs: David DeCastro, G/T, Stanford
As stated earlier, I still think there is a very good chance that KC trades up with Jacksonville to draft Tannehill. With that being said, if they stay put David DeCastro will not make it past them. They really need to upgrade the interior of their offensive line and DeCastro is the best guard prospect since Steve Hutchinson left the University Of Michigan.
12. Seattle Seahawks: Luke Kuechly, ILB, Boston College
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said this offseason that he wants to add speed to the linebacker core. Look no further. Kuechly had a very productive three seasons at Boston College, including recording over 190 tackles this past season as a junior. Going into the Combine, Kuechly’s biggest flaw was said to be his speed. Well, he ran a 4.5 at the Combine, so his speed definitely isn’t an issue. Kuechly is also the BPA here.
13. Arizona Cardinals: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
Arizona proved to us last year that they stick true to their board and take the BPA when they took Patrick Peterson in the first round and Ryan Williams in the second when there were still other areas of need. Floyd would be a nice weapon across from Larry Fitzgerald and would win Rookie of the Year next season (yes, you heard that hear first) .
14. Dallas Cowboys: Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis
There have been rumors of late that the Cowboys like Poe. They plan on drafting him and moving Jay Ratliff to end. This would be a classic Jerry Jones pick on draft day when he becomes enamored with elite athleticism over game tape and actual production.
15. Philadelphia Eagles: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
Big Andy loves drafting linemen early. While he misses out on Fletcher Cox, Andy selects a different lineman that can compete in Philly Cheese steak eating competitions in pregame meals. On a serious note, Brockers is extremely raw but has a ton of upside. The Eagles like drafting tackles early and he is best available.
16. New York Jets: Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
The Jets have almost nothing at safety. If you want to beat Tom Brady, you have to have a great secondary. Barron is the top safety in the class by a wide margin and immediately helps NY out.
17. Cincinnati Bengals: Cordy Glenn, G, Georgia
With Stephon Gilmore off the board, the Bengals look away from corner (for now). They recently have had Glenn in on workouts and have been reported to like him. They could use an offensive guard to help shore up their running game and improve an offense that is getting better and better.
18. San Diego Chargers: Chandler Jones, OLB/DE, Syracuse
Jones has been moving up draft boards as of late and is now pretty much a lock for the first round. The Chargers recently signed Jarrett Johnson, but he is not a great pass rusher. Jones could step in and provide a pass rushing option off the edge.
19. Chicago Bears: Quinton Coples, DE, UNC
My oh my, how the mighty have fallen. One month ago, Coples was a consensus top seven pick. Now? Everyone is questioning his motor and consistency. While these issues are of concern, his talent is undeniable. The Bears could use a pass rushing threat across from Julius Perrpes, who also happens to be a big name from North Carolina. Maybe Peppers could help the coaching staff get the most out of Coples.
20. Tennessee Titans: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
Another top prospect falling. Reiff’s short arms are going to cost him millions in this year’s draft. With that being said, he has a lot of talent and with Titans coach Mike Munchak being an offensive line guy, I would have think that he would jump at the chance to take Reiff.
21. Cincinnati Bengals: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
The Bengals need help in the secondary. With Gilmore off the board, it looks like they’re going to have to take a pothead with this pick. Kirkpatrick is a corner that fits the new trend (tall and lanky) and had tremendous upside. With that being said, he did have his struggles with faster receivers during his career in Tuscaloosa.
