OT. Ohio State. Taylor Decker . 16. player. 50. While it would extremely Lions of them to take a receiver here, the Ford’s brought in Bob Quinn from New England to keep the Lions from doing typical Lions things. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of the offensive line issues could be solved by moving <a href=

44. This is a dream scenario for Atlanta, a team in desperate need of linebacking help. In this scenario the Dirty Birds get an incredible athlete to pair with last year’s first rounder <a href=. OLB. Ohio State. Darron Lee . 17. player

Georgia. Leonard Floyd . 18. player. 46. Floyd is a very Colts pick. They, like seemingly every other team in the NFL, wants to get after the passer more and he could help them do that. At 6’4″ 244 he has perfect size for a modern NFL edge rusher but that size also keeps him from being the best edge setter which is concerning against the run. Ultimately, his potential as a double digit sack artist outweighs those concerns for now.. OLB

19. player. 16. The Bills lost <a href=. DT. Alabama. A'Shawn Robinson

30. Spence is a wildcard. He has the size, speed and athleticism that so many defensive coordinators covet off the edge, but personal concerns may cause him to slip. The Jets never let personal issues steer them away from players and need another mean pass-rusher. It feels like a fit made in football heaven.. DE. Eastern Kentucky. Noah Spence . 20. player
