60. player. 47. The Patriots will have to wait until the second round in the draft to make their first selection, so they need to make it count. Cooper is an underrated talent who could be the next gem that the Patriots always seem to find. Let’s just say Tom Brady is a significant upgrade over who Cooper had throwing him the ball at South Carolina. — Kyle. Wide Receiver. South Carolina. Pharoh Cooper

32. Patrick Peterson is one of the best corners in the league. Having both he and Tyrann Mattieu in the Arizona secondary is special. However, when Mattieu went down at the end of the season with an injury it was obvious that there was a lack of depth at cornerback for the Cardinals. Artie Burns is a physical corner who was also a track star in college. He led the Hurricanes in interceptions in 2015 and should develop into an impact player at the next level. — Kyle. Cornerback. Miami. Artie Burns. 61. player

87. The Super Bowl exposed a Carolina offensive line with some major inefficiencies at both tackle positions. Clark gives the Panthers an athletic tackle prospect to develop and offer some much-needed competition on the offensive line.  — Dan. Offensive Tackle. Texas Tech. Le'Raven Clark. 62. player

The Denver Broncos are Super Bowl champions. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they face a potential mass exodus on defense. They won’t let Von Miller leave town, but that will cost them. Brandon Marshall and Danny Travathan are both free agents that will have good market value. Assuming they lose at least one of these two, Joshua Perry is a player who could come in and be a three-down player right away. While his sideline to sideline play isn’t spectacular, He is a physical defender who very rarely allows broken tackles. He should be a good replacement for either Marshall or Travathan. — Kyle. Linebacker. Ohio State. Joshua Perry. 63. player. 45
