1. Cleveland: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M. Nothing is guaranteed, but there's a better chance Garrett develops into an elite edge rusher than any of the QBs turn into franchise options for the Browns.

2. San Francisco: Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina. With superior tutelage under Kyle Shanahan, Trubisky has the tools to be the pocket passer who made the coach's scheme flourish in Atlanta.

3. Chicago: Jamal Adams, S, LSU. The Bears need an injection of talent in their secondary and Adams is a big safety with few holes in his skill set.

4. Jacksonville: Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama. The Jaguars have invested plenty in their defense in recent years, but still have room to improve up front. Allen would solidify the team's young line.

5. Tennessee: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan. It's time to bolster Marcus Mariota’s outside weapons. Davis has drawn comparisons to A.J. Green and would provide a huge boost to Tennessee's sluggish passing game.

6. New York Jets. Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State. Once the best corner on the planet, Darrelle Revis is running on fumes. It's time to rebuild the secondary around the draft's best corner in Lattimore (2).

7. Los Angeles Chargers: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State. After parting ways with Eric Weddle last season, Hooker would give the Chargers an admittedly raw, but highly athletic and instinctual replacement.

8. Carolina: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU. Defenders like to beat up on Cam Newton. The Panthers can flip the table by adding the punishing LSU rusher. It makes sense with Jonathan Stewart turning 30 this offseason.

9. Cincinnati: Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama. The Bengals could use some fresh talent in their linebacking corps. Paired with Vontaze Burfict, the second level will be a punishment zone for opposing running backs and tight ends.

10. Buffalo: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson. The Bills have a recent history of drafting Clemson players, but that might have been Rex Ryan's influence. Still, the team needs a QB and there's not a better option than the national championship MVP and Heisman runner-up.

11. New Orleans: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida. The Saints tried to get a big, physical corner in free agency a couple years back, but Brandon Browner was a bust. Wilson is a younger, more talented version who can be groomed in their scheme.

12. Cleveland: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State. Sure, a QB would be ideal, but it’s a reach for the remaining options. Cook gives the Browns a stud in the backfield and the team can target a passer later. Patrick Mahomes at the top of the second would work well.

13. Arizona: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson. Larry Fitzgerald is at the end of the line and the Cardinals had to move on from Michael Floyd. They need more talent to fit Bruce Arians' vertical attack.

14. Indianapolis: Derek Barnett, DE/LB, Tennessee. The Colts' pass rush was anemic in 2016, generating a league-low 64 quarterback hurries. Barnett steadily produced pressure as a three-year starter in the SEC.

15. Philadelphia: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington. The Eagles already dumped Leodis McKelvin, a year after trading Byron Maxwell. Jones offers good size and length to go with polished technique and plus ball skills.

16. Baltimore: Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford. It might not be the Ravens’ biggest need, but Thomas offers exceptional value as a highly productive and versatile defensive lineman who fits nicely as a 3-4 end.

17. Washington: Taco Charlton, DL, Michigan. Chris Baker is solid, but is set to hit free agency. Washington will make every effort to re-sign him, but even if does, it will need another 3-4 end type to round out the team’s defensive line. Charlton fits the bill.

18. Tennessee: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU. The Titans did a brutal job covering wide receivers in 2016. Things were so bad they cut starter Perrish Cox in the middle of the season. White is the latest in a long line of LSU corners who are plug-and-play options from Day 1.

19. Tampa Bay: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama. Cameron Brate was a breakout performer for the Bucs last year, but he’s more of a flex option. Howard is a well-rounded weapon who can also give a boost to the running game lining up off tackle.

20. Denver: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin. It's not a top-heavy offensive tackle class, but the Broncos would be thrilled to have their pick of the bunch at the No. 20 spot.

21. Detroit: Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida. There's a lot of defensive talent on the board at this stage, but Brantley fits the mold of the 3-tech DT the Lions need to pair long-term with A'Shawn Robinson. Brantley plays the run and pass well with an explosive first step.

22. Miami: Takkarist McKinley, OLB/DE, UCLA. The Dolphins biggest need is at linebacker, but McKinley is probably more of a defensive end in this scheme. Still, having a good pass rush helps issues at all levels. He's a raw talent, but McKinley did rack up 18 tackles for a loss last season.

23. New York Giants: Tim Williams, LB, Alabama. The Giants defense made a leap last year with a trio of high-priced free agent additions, but the linebacking corps still need some work. Williams is versatile, able to play in space and wreak havoc down on the line.

24. Oakland: Malik McDowell, DL, Michigan State. The Raiders drafted a defensive tackle early last year in Jihad Ward, but still have a big need in the middle. McDowell has some positional versatility, but would probably need to pack on 15-20 pounds to be a consistent force inside.

25. Houston: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama. The powerful Robinson could start immediately at right tackle and be the team's long-term solution on the left side as Duane Brown turns 32 before the start of the season.

26. Seattle: Garett Bolles, OT, Utah. The Seahawks have tried to go cheap up front, but they need to do a better job protecting Russell Wilson. Bolles' (72) athleticism should work well with the way Wilson likes to extend plays.

27. Kansas City: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama. The Chiefs have a stud corner in Marcus Peters and pairing him with the big, fast Humphrey will solidify what is already one of the NFL's best pass defenses.

28. Dallas: Charles Harris, DE, Missouri. The Cowboys have some talented edge rushers who can't stay out trouble. Harris (91) is an undersized end, but he utilizes an array of rush moves to consistently make plays in the backfield.

29. Green Bay: Teez Tabor, CB, Florida. The Packers had all kinds of cornerback problems last season and opted to part ways with Sam Shields this offseason. Tabor is a high-ceiling talent who has the necessary size and quickness to compete with NFL receivers.

30. Pittsburgh: Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan. Peppers has top-10 talent, but it's just as much about fit in the NFL. With his ability to fly around the field, he can bring some of the swagger Troy Polamalu used to offer the Steelers from the strong safety spot.

31. Atlanta: Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn. Vic Beasley's emergence was critical to the Falcons defense in 2016, but they still need to bolster their pass rush. Lawson has battled durability issues, but is a highly productive player when healthy.

32. New England: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple. A bundle of athleticism waiting to be unleashed, the Patriots will find plenty of ways to situationally deploy Reddick as he develops his ability to play in space.
