25. player. 55. Coming out of college, Jackson was regarded as an early-round CB prospect, but many expressed concerns about his downfield speed. After running a 4.37 in the forty at the NFL Combine, Jackson cemented himself as a late-first round prospect. — Dan. Cornerback. Houston. William Jackson III

Jason Spriggs. 26. player. 36. Jason Spriggs isn’t an elite run blocker, but what he lacks in strength he makes up for with athleticism. The Seahawks needed help on the offensive line even before they lost Okung. Spriggs can be the help they need. — Kyle. Offensive Tackle. Indiana

27. player. 49. There are plenty of directions the Packers could go with this pick, but Ragland seems to make the most sense here. And, this is not just wishful thinking. The board could very well fall in this manner. There are only a few teams with needs at ILB ahead of Green Bay in the first round. Despite not possessing elite speed, Ragland remains a true three-down inside linebacker in the NFL. He’s a better athlete than people give him credit for, and his physical playing style and tremendous instincts make him potential cornerstone piece for a 3-4 defense that could use a consistent leader in the middle of their front seven. — Dan <p><em><strong>Kyle’s alternate pick:</strong></em> <strong>Noah Spence, OLB, E. Kentucky</strong> – Noah Spence presents some character concerns that Ted Thompson would have to investigate, but from a pure talent perspective, Spence is tough to pass up. He would contribute immediately and would be a long term replacement for Peppers at OLB.</p>. Inside Linebacker. Alabama. Reggie Ragland

Baylor. Corey Coleman. 28. player. 124. The Chiefs almost had all of the pieces last year. Alex Smith isn’t much more than a game manager, but he can get the ball into the hands of playmakers. Corey Coleman, who ran in the 4.3’s at his pro day, is a playmaker. — Kyle. Wide Receiver
