10. The quarterbacks slid much further than anyone expected, allowing Watson to fall to one of the most quarterback hungry teams in the NFL. Watson is a champion that knows how to win when it matters. The pick is an easy one for the Texans. – Ryan Schlipp. Quarterback. Clemson. Deshaun Watson. 25. player

36. This offensive line is very weak. If the team would like to keep a healthy Russell Wilson, they must improve it. Bolles falling to 26 here is a no brainier. – Josh McPeak. Offensive Tackle. Utah. Garrett Bolles. 26. player

Quincy Wilson. 27. player. 124. This organization has visions of going all the way in 2017, but the chances of following through on that are iffy at best without a solid No. 2 cornerback to play alongside Marcus Peters. Wilson provides the size at 6-foot, 209 pounds and physicality KC needs to keep big receivers at bay. What’s more, the former SEC phenom offers the anticipatory skills to jump routes along with the ability to defend the run. Wilson is an immediate upgrade over the oft-injured Phillip Gaines. – Ralph Mancini. Cornerback. Florida

Takkarist McKinley. 28. player. 123. Despite being dominant against the run, the Cowboys finished 26th in pass defense and in large part because they struggled to generate consistent quarterback pressure. They got very little pass production from their defensive ends, and McKinley’s burst off the line and relentless motor would give them a pass rusher who can wreak havoc off the edge. – Dan Dahlke. Defensive End. UCLA
