11. Chicago Bears

57. The Bears get a gift with no offensive tackle other than Laremy Tunsil going in the top ten. With tackle being a need, they get their pick of anyone other than Tunsil rather than having to make the choice between a more thinned out pool of tackle prospects or moving on to address another position.. OT. Notre Dame. Ronnie Stanley . 11. player

12. New Orleans Saints

Clemson. Shaq Lawson . 12. player. 15. If the New Orleans Saints are to make the most of however many years <a href=. DE

13. Philadelphia Eagles

player. 54. <a href=. OT. Ohio State. Taylor Decker . 13

14. Oakland Raiders

Ohio State. Ezekiel Elliott . 14. player. 28. <a href=. RB

15. Los Angeles Rams

player. 51. Jared Goff is a polarizing prospect with some considering him the top quarterback prospect in the draft and others highly concerned with his measurables and lack of a winning pedigree. He may be a risk but it’s one the newly relocated Rams need to make with no franchise quarterback already in place.. QB. California. Jared Goff . 15
