11. Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota needs another top corner to start opposite Rhodes so that they can move Munnerlyn back to slot duties. Waynes might be the physical corner they need there.. Cornerback. Michigan State. Trae Waynes. 11. player. 60
12. Cleveland Browns
53. Whoever the quarterback will be for the Browns this year will need someone to throw the ball to. Parker has a proven record of success with Louisville and could help immediately.. Wide Receiver. Louisville. Devante Parker. 12. player
13. New Orleans Saints
Beasley sliding to the Saints is a best case scenario for them. They could nab one of the best pass rushers in the draft without trading up.. Linebacker. Clemson. Vic Beasley. 13. player. 15
14. Miami Dolphins
LSU. La'el Collins. 14. player. 59. After locking down a great DT in Suh and picking up Brandon Marshall, the Dolphins can look to Collins to help at multiple spots on the offensive line.. Offensive Tackle
15. San Francisco 49ers
player. 42. Despite a huge need at inside linebacker, Dupree is the best player available in a position of need. They can’t afford to reach far enough to fill their biggest need. Expect a possible trade down.. Defensive End. Kentucky. Alvin Dupree. 15

16. Houston Texans
Offensive Tackle. Stanford. Andrus Peat. 16. player. 10. Peat will lock down the right side of the Houston offensive line as a road grading presence who has the potential to develop into a left tackle if needed in the future.
17. San Diego Chargers
17. player. 13. It might be early to take a center in the draft, but Dallas has found success with that. Also, Erving can play the guard positions (also a need) if center gets filled.. Center. Florida State. Cameron Erving
18. Kansas City Chiefs
18. player. 124. KC has some real offensive line issues. Former #1 overall pick Eric Fisher isn’t playing well and they also need improvement at right tackle. Flowers is a step in the right direction.. Offensive Tackle. Miami (Fla.). Ereck Flowers
19. Cleveland Browns (via Buffalo Bills)
19. player. 53. After getting a wide receiver with the first pick, the Browns come back and get a nose tackle to plug up the middle of the line and disrupt the running game of the opposition.. Defensive Tackle. Texas. Malcom Brown
20. Philadelphia Eagles
Safety. Alabama. Landon Collins. 20. player. 54. Losing Nate Allen hurts, but they can fill that hole with a physical safety that will should intimidate pass catchers over the middle and ball carriers.
