player. 28. Oakland boasts one of the young, ascending edge rushers in the NFL in Khalil Mack, and they also have another rising star in defensive end Mario Edwards. However, their defensive tackle play as been inconsistent between Dan Williams and Justin Ellis. They could use a guy like Billings to rotate in with their starters and provide some juice as an interior pass rusher on third downs. — Dan. Defensive Tackle. Baylor. Andrew Billings. 44

51. Centers are rarely taken this high in the draft. When they are, it usually means they are exceptionally talented. Ryan Kelly is that special. He’s is even rumored to have a first round grade from some teams. Having three picks in the first two rounds, the Rams significantly improve their offense by snagging Treadwell, Cook, and Kelly. — Kyle. Center. Alabama. Ryan Kelly. 45. player

player. 50. Boyd is a far cry from Calvin Johnson–there isn’t a receiver in this draft that could replace the loss of Megatron. However, the former Pitt wideout would be a reliable target in the passing game for Detroit and pair well with Golden Tate’s playmaking ability on the boundary. Boyd’s game is polished enough to play an immediate role in a NFL offense. — Dan. Wide Receiver. Pittsburgh. Tyler Boyd. 46

15. With an aging Drew Brees, New Orleans could transition to a more run-first type of offense. Mark Ingram has proven he can handle the load. Adding a guard like Whitehair is an investment to make sure that Brees stays upright and that the holes are there for guys like Ingram. — Kyle. Offensive Guard. Kansas State. Cody Whitehair. 47. player
