*Our mock drafts are based on the consensus rankings and predictions amongst the media, not our own rankings, because media consensus is the most accurate predictor of which player each team will draft.


Round 1


1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson

Trevor Lawrence is the obvious pick at number one. He has been essentially a lock to go to the Jaguars since Jacksonville got the first pick. Lawrence is arguably the best quarterback prospect of all time, and he seems likely to be a star.


2. New York Jets: Zach Wilson, QB, BYU

Zach Wilson is a lock to go 2nd overall. He had a great year, but still has some question marks. Many, including us at Gridiron Draft, believe Justin Fields is a better player and should be going here. The Jets will be drafting Wilson, nonetheless.


3. San Francisco 49ers: Mac Jones, QB, Alabama

The draft really starts at third overall, with Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson already locked in at 1 and 2. Reports are mixed about the 49ers pick. People are either saying that the 49ers have narrowed their choices down to Mac Jones and Trey Lance or that San Francisco will pick Jones. The 49ers probably wouldn’t have traded up unless they knew who they were picking, so the reports that they will pick Mac Jones seem to make the most sense. Jones shouldn’t be going 3rd overall. He isn’t in the same conversation as Fields and Lance, but the 49ers apparently think he fits their scheme best, so they pick him.


4. Atlanta Falcons: Kyle Pitts, TE, Florida

Atlanta has three options: draft their top prospect available, draft a quarterback as Matt Ryan’s successor, or trade down. Out of those three options, trading down seems like the best choice because the Falcons are desperate for help on defense, but none of the defensive players in this draft are good enough to go at 4. It might be hard for them to find a trade partner, however, unless the Dolphins are looking to trade up and get Kyle Pitts. Given how uncertain a trade is, we won’t put that in our mock draft. So the choice ends up being a quarterback or Pitts. The Falcons shouldn’t draft a quarterback. Matt Ryan isn’t the issue in Atlanta and guys like Tom Brady and Drew Brees have proven that quarterbacks can play into their forties, so the Falcons go with Pitts. Kyle Pitts is incredible and will transform that offense. Defenses won’t be able to guard him, Calvin Ridley, and Julio Jones. Or, if Julio is traded, Pitts can take over his role as their top bigger bodied receiving option.


5. Cincinnati Bengals: Penei Sewell, LT, Oregon

The Bengals will either draft Sewell or Ja’Marr Chase with this pick. The offensive line for the Bengals was atrocious last year, which is why Joe Burrow got hurt, so Sewell makes more sense. This draft is deep in receivers and offensive linemen, so the Bengals are essentially deciding whether they want an elite lineman and solid receiver or an elite receiver and solid lineman. Joe Burrow needs to be protected to prevent another injury like last year, so they go with the offensive line. Cincinnati can put Sewell at left tackle and move Jonah Williams to guard, which is where many thought he was best suited to play coming out of college.


6. Miami Dolphins: Ja'Marr Chase, WR, LSU

The Dolphins want to add an elite weapon, and Ja’Marr Chase is just that. This is a no-brainer pick. Miami might consider moving up for Kyle Pitts, or if the Falcons take a quarterback and the Bengals still opt to go with Penei Sewell, Pitts could be the pick. But in this scenario, Miami gets Chase.


7. TRADE -- New England Patriots: Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State

The Patriots are expected to move up for a quarterback, and apparently Justin Fields is their guy. Fields is a steal at seven. He should be going 2nd overall, but he has been over-analyzed to the point that he is likely to fall. The Patriots give up the 15th pick and the 46th pick in this year’s draft to get up to number 7, though they could maybe swing a trade with Stephon Gilmore instead of the 46th pick if they’d prefer to unload him instead of paying him. New England might also target the 8th pick, or possibly the 10th or 11th picks if Fields or Lance are still available. The 4th pick may be in play as well, but that might cost too much for the Patriots to feel comfortable making a trade unless they expect Fields to go before 7.


8. Carolina Panthers: Rashawn Slater, OT/G/C, Northwestern

The Panthers will potentially trade down or maybe even draft Trey Lance here, but they opt to see what they have in Sam Darnold and get him some protection. It seems unlikely that the Panthers would trade for Darnold if they wanted to get a quarterback in the draft, so Slater makes more sense than Lance here.


9. Denver Broncos: Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State

The Broncos end Lance’s fall down the draft board here. Denver is not sold on Drew Lock and could use a quarterback, and while they just traded for Teddy Bridgewater, he isn’t the long-term answer. Lance can sit and learn behind Bridgewater, and when he’s ready, he can take over as the starter. Trey Lance is a great value at the 9th pick and has the chance to go as high as 3rd overall. Denver might try to trade up if another team is trying to leapfrog them and select Lance, but in this scenario they don’t need to.


10. Dallas Cowboys: Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama

The Cowboys need help at cornerback, and Surtain is the best one in the draft. He can fill in immediately as a CB1. The Cowboys might consider trading down if a top quarterback falls to this spot, however.


11. New York Giants: Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama

The Giants will either draft an edge rusher, a receiver, or trade down with this pick. The Lions already got Kenny Golladay, so pairing him with Waddle would be very difficult for defenses to defend The Giants have the option to get DeVonte Smith, but since they have a big, deep threat in Kenny Golladay, a better compliment would be a small, fast receiver that’s incredible after the catch. It’ll make defenses choose between focusing on stopping Golladay deep or trying to stop Waddle underneath, and that’ll allow one of them to destroy defenses on a regular basis.


12. Philadelphia Eagles: DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama

The Eagles need help at receiver, and they need it badly. They whiffed on Jalen Reagor when Justin Jefferson was still on the board, and they won’t make the same mistake. Smith is a great pick at 12, as he can do everything as a high-end WR1. He might be on the lighter side, but he should be very productive in the NFL.


13. Los Angeles Chargers: Jaycee Horn, CB, South Carolina

The Chargers have holes at cornerback and left tackle, but the top 2 tackle prospects are already off the board, so they go with Horn. This draft is deep with offensive linemen, so they can get a tackle later in the draft. Horn is a great player who should start for the right away. The other possibility with this pick is Alijah Vera-Tucker, but he’s better suited to play guard, so they pass on him.


14. Minnesota Vikings: Jaelan Phillips, Edge, Miami

The Vikings could use an edge rusher, so they go with Phillips, who is a very similar player to Danielle Hunter, their edge rusher. Minnesota might also consider trading up for one of the top two offensive tackles in this draft.


15. TRADE -- Detroit Lions: Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State

The Lions would have possibly taken Parsons at 7, so trading down and still getting him is a great deal for them. Parsons is incredibly talented and should be able to transform the Lions defense.


16. Arizona Cardinals: Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech

The Cardinals need help at cornerback, and Farley can help a lot. He has some injury concerns, but Farley is incredibly talented and looks very similar to Patrick Peterson, so he can fill that role.


17. Las Vegas Raiders: Alijah Vera-Tucker, OT/G, USC

Vera-Tucker is a great value at this pick. He can play either tackle or guard and could go much earlier in the draft. He’s an incredibly safe pick and should be a long-time starter on the Raiders offensive line.


18. Miami Dolphins: Kwity Paye, Edge/DT, Michigan

The Dolphins need help on the edge, and Paye is arguably the best edge rusher in the draft. He also has the versatility to kick inside and play defensive tackle, and Brian Flores loves to put defensive ends inside on third downs. Paye seems like a perfect fit for this defense.


19. Washington Football Team: Teven Jenkins, RT, Oklahoma State

Washington could use help along their offensive line, and Jenkins can start at tackle for them on day 1. They might consider trading up for a quarterback, but Washington is a little bit low, so they will probably get outbid unless a quarterback free falls.


20. Chicago Bears: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame

Owusu-Koramoah is the best player on the board, so the Bears go with him. He can significantly add to their defense. Chicago needs a better quarterback, so they might try to trade up, but they are very low and it will probably be hard to outbid the teams that are higher up.


21. Indianapolis Colts: Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech

The Colts need to replace Anthony Casonzo, and Darrisaw has the ability to play left tackle, so they go with him. With Carson Wentz’s injury history, Indianapolis will want to prevent him from getting hit as much as they possibly can.


22. Tennessee Titans: Gregory Rousseau, Edge, Miami

The Titans were not good at getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks last year, so they bring in an edge rusher to help try to fix the problem. Rousseau will take a little bit of time to develop, but he can become a starter for them.


23. New York Jets: Najee Harris, RB, Alabama

The Jets will likely have Zach Wilson to start right away, so they will need someone to help take pressure off of him. Harris can run the ball but is also a reliable receiver out of the backfield, which should help ease Wilson’s adjustment to the pros.


24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jalen Mayfield, RT, Michigan

The Steelers might opt to go with Travis Etienne here, but the offensive line should be their top priority. Mayfield is the best tackle on the board, so they go with him, and they should be able to address running back later in the draft.


25. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU

The Jaguars could use help in the secondary, and Moehrig is a great value at this point in the draft. He’s a great all-around player who should be a long-time starter for them at safety.


26. Cleveland Browns: Zaven Collins, LB, Tulsa

Zaven Collins is a great value here. He has a chance to go much higher in the draft. He can add a massive element to the Browns run defense and gives them an option to cover tight ends. Collins can be an instant starter.


27. Baltimore Ravens: Azeez Ojulari, Edge, Georgia

The Ravens need help at edge rusher, as Matthew Judon left in free agency. Ojulari fills that need and is arguably the best player on the board at this point, so Baltimore ends up with an incredibly good selection.


28. New Orleans Saints: Greg Newsome II, CB, Northwestern

The Saints need to find another cornerback, so they take Newsome here. Asante Samuel Jr. is the other option here, but Newsome is better on the outside, providing him more flexibility to play in this defense. The Saints would probably prefer to get a quarterback in this draft, but they are way too low to make that happen.


29. Green Bay Packers: Kadarius Toney, WR, Florida

The Packers need an additional option at receiver, and Toney is a versatile player who can be moved around the formation. He isn’t a traditional WR1, but Green Bay has Davante Adams to fill that role, which makes Toney a great fit. Adams can draw most of the coverage and the Packers can do short passes and runs to Toney, allowing him to use his skills as a ball carrier.


30. Buffalo Bills: Jayson Oweh, Edge, Penn State

The Bills need another edge rusher to play alongside Jerry Hughs, so they draft Oweh, who is a great value this late in the first round. He should make them significantly stronger in the pass rusher department.


31. Baltimore Ravens: Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State

The Ravens need an offensive tackle now that they’ve traded Orlando Brown, so they use the pick they acquired for him to draft his replacement. Radunz is a bit of a reach here, but Baltimore’s next pick is 95th overall, so they end up drafting him anyway.


32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson

The Buccaneers don’t have many holes, so they end up taking Etienne to plan for the future. Giovani Bernard, Leonard Fournette, and Ronald Jones are all free agents after this year, and it might be hard for the Buccaneers to pay all of them, so they draft Etienne as their running back of the future.


Round 2


33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Terrace Marshall Jr., WR, LSU

The Jaguars could use some additional weapons for their new quarterback, so they turn to Marshall here. He’s a freak athlete with the upside to develop into a very productive receiver for the Jaguars.


34. New York Jets: Asante Samuel Jr., CB, FSU

The Jets need to add players at cornerback, and Samuel is the best available. He can play both in the slot and on the outside, though he’s slightly undersized, and that versatility will drastically improve the Jets’ cornerback room.


35. Atlanta Falcons: Joe Tryon, Edge, Washington

The Falcons need to add a lot to their defense, and that starts on the edge. Pretty much all of the top edge rushers are off the board, but Tryon is still a very solid player who can start on this defense.


36. Miami Dolphins: Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky

The Dolphins could use help at linebacker after losing Kyle Van Noy and Shaq Lawson. Davis isn’t as good as those two as a pass rusher, but he has shown upside in that department, and he is significantly better then them on the inside.


37. Philadelphia Eagles: Eric Stokes, CB, Georgia

Eric Stokes is somewhat of a reach at this pick, but the Eagles are desperate for help at cornerback, so they end up drafting for need. Stokes could turn into a reliable starter in the NFL.


38. Cincinnati Bengals: Elijah Moore, WR, Ole Miss

The Bengals drafted an offensive lineman in the first round in this scenario, so they end up drafting a receiver in the second round. Elijah Moore is a great player who should be going a lot higher in the draft, but due to the depth of this receiving class, he slides a little.


39. Carolina Panthers: Jevon Holland, S, Oregon

The Panthers need help in the secondary, and most of the cornerbacks are off the board at this point, so they go with Holland to fill in at safety.


40. Denver Broncos: Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri

The Broncos have addressed quarterback in this scenario, but they still need help at inside linebacker. Luckily for them, Nick Bolton is still on the board and is fully capable of becoming a quality starter in the NFL.


41. Detroit Lions: Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota

The Lions need a WR1 now that they have lost Kenny Golladay. Rashod Bateman has the potential to fill that role, so Detroit goes with him.


42. New York Giants: Payton Turner, Edge, Houston

The Giants need pass rush help, and Turner has incredible upside. He won’t start right away, but he can develop into an elite pass rusher with the proper coaching.


43. San Francisco 49ers: Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington

The 49ers need to add some depth to the defensive line, and Onwuzurike is a great run stopper who can fill in immediately. He’s a good value pick here as well, as some people have a first round grade on Onwuzurike.


44. Dallas Cowboys: Landon Dickerson, G/C, Alabama

The Cowboys have needed help along the interior of the offensive line ever since Travis Frederick retired. Dickerson has the ability to play center or guard and has great upside, so Dallas picks him up.


45. Jacksonville Jaguars: Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State

The Jaguars need to add a pass-catching tight end, and Freiermuth is the only tight end in this draft outside of Kyle Pitts that can immediately become a solid starter.


46. TRADE -- Detroit Lions: Trey Smith, G, Tennessee

The Lions got this pick from the Patriots as part of their package for the 7th pick, and they use it to improve their offensive line. Trey Smith has very high upside, and while he does have some health issues, he could become a long-time starter for the Lions.


47. Los Angeles Chargers: Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame

The Chargers have a hole at left tackle, so they take Eichenberg here. He played left tackle in college, and while many project him to play on the right side, the Chargers could make him work. He isn’t going to be a star, but Eichenberg should be a reliable starter.


48. Las Vegas Raiders: Christian Barmore, DT, Alabama

The Raiders need help on defense, and Barmore is a boom/bust prospect with the ability to potentially become a star in the NFL. The Raiders need someone like that on defense, so they take a chance on the former Alabama defensive tackle.


49. Arizona Cardinals: Rondale Moore, WR, Purdue

The Cardinals could use a speedy receiver for Kyler Murray, and Moore is just that. He can provide them with a dynamic slot receiver with the deep speed to challenge defenses over the top, and that will help draw coverage away from DeAndre Hopkins.


50. Miami Dolphins: Javonte Williams, RB, UNC

The Dolphins have addressed most of their positions of need at this point, but they could still use a running back. Javonte Williams is a significant upgrade over Myles Gaskin and should take this run game up a notch.


51. Washington Football Team: Richie Grant, S, UCF

Washington could have used a linebacker or a tight end here, but the top 5 linebackers and the top 2 tight ends are off the board at this point. They could use some help at safety, so they take Richie Grant out of UCF.


52. Chicago Bears: Wyatt Davis, G/C, Ohio State

The Bears need help along the offensive line, so they go with Davis here. This might be a little high for him, but there is a pretty big drop off from him to the next guard, so they take a slight reach. Chicago may consider a quarterback, but it seems a little too early for the second-tier of guys to start coming off the board.


53. Tennessee Titans: Alex Leatherwood, OT, Alabama

The Titans still need a right tackle because of everything that went on with Isaiah Wilson, so they look to address that in the second round. Leatherwood is a good player who should be able to start.


54. Indianapolis Colts: Ronnie Perkins, Edge, Oklahoma

The Colts struggled to generate pressure off the edge last year, and Perkins is a great pass rusher. He can be an immediate starter for Indianapolis.


55. Pittsburgh Steelers: Michael Carter, RB, UNC

The Steelers need to address running back, so they take Carter here. They would prefer Javonta Williams, and if he slides down to the middle of the second, they may trade up for him, but in this scenario, they need to settle with Carter.


56. Seattle Seahawks: Quinn Meinerz, G/C, Wisconsin-Whitewater

The Seahawks could use as much help as they can get along the offensive line, so they bring in Meinerz. He has the versatility to play either guard or center and looked great at the Senior Bowl.


57. Los Angeles Rams: Daviyon Nixon, DT, Iowa

The Rams lost Michael Brockers, so they need help at defensive tackle. Nixon is a solid player who should be able to develop into a starter for Los Angeles.


58. Kansas City Chiefs: Tyson Campbell, CB, Georgia

The Chiefs don’t have many needs, but they could stand to add another cornerback. Campbell is the best on the board and should offer good depth as a rookie with the ability to eventually take over as a starter.


59. Cleveland Browns: Carlos Basham Jr., Edge, Wake Forest

The Browns have a good situation on the edge for this year, but they need a young edge rusher to develop because Jadeveon Clowney is on a one-year deal.


60. New Orleans Saints: Kellen Mond, QB, Texas A&M

The Saints are likely going to look to the second-tier of quarterbacks to find a developmental player who can eventually take over as the starter. Reports are that they like Kyle Trask, but those could be smokescreens. Kellen Mond seems like the type of player that would intrigue the Saints, so they go with him. This seems like it could be a little high for Mond, but if the Saints like him, they won’t care about slightly overpaying.


61. Buffalo Bills: Tommy Tremble, TE, Notre Dame

The Bills could use a better tight end, as they haven’t gotten much from the position. Tremble has incredibly high upside and could develop into an elite option, so Buffalo takes a chance on him.


62. Green Bay Packers: Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF

The Packers re-signed Kevin King, but another cornerback would be helpful. Robinson can come in and compete for the starting job right away.


63. Kansas City Chiefs: Elerson Smith, Edge, Northern Iowa

The Chiefs are in need of a pass rushing complement to Frank Clark. Elerson Smith has the ability to develop into a solid complementary piece that can take some of the pressure off of Clark, so they draft him.


64. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jabril Cox, LB, LSU

The Buccaneers need a young linebacker to develop and eventually take over for Lavonte David, who is getting up there in age. Cox doesn’t need to start right away, but he can eventually take over in the middle of the Bucs defense.


Round 3


65. Jacksonville Jaguars: Elijah Molden, CB, Washington

The Jaguars need to add help at cornerback, and Molden is the best available. He’s a good value pick that could have gone higher.


66. New York Jets: Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami

The Jets could use an upgrade at pass-catching tight end, so they take Brevin Jordan. He is fully capable of becoming a solid option in the passing game.


67. Houston Texans: Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville

The Texans need to add a receiver now that Will Fuller has left, and Atwell has similar speed to Fuller. He’s not as much of a deep threat, but can add a better element to the short passing game.


68. Atlanta Falcons: Andre Cisco, S, Syracuse

The Falcons need to continue to improve their defense. Cisco will help sure up the safety room and gives them significantly more upside when it comes to generating turnovers.


69. Cincinnati Bengals: Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma

The Bengals won’t stop improving their offensive line with Penei Sewell. They have many holes on the interior that need to be filled. Humphrey can compete for a starting job on day 1.


70. Philadelphia Eagles: Samuel Cosmi, OT, Texas

The Bengals have good tackles, but they could use some depth on the offensive line, and Cosmi can provide that right away.


71. Denver Broncos: Milton Williams, Edge, Louisiana Tech

The Broncos need to add more depth on the defensive line. Williams can be a rotational depth piece as a rookie and has the ability to eventually develop into a starter.


72. Detroit Lions: Brady Christensen, OT, BYU

This is an incredibly deep offensive line class, so most of the best players available are linemen. The Lions take advantage and add depth to their line, which helps fill a big need.


73. Carolina Panthers: Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson

The Panthers could use a slot receiver now that they’ve lost Curtis Samuel, so they bring in Amari Rodgers. He is a fast, sure-handed guy who should be able to take over that role.


74. Washington Football Team: Kyle Trask, QB, Florida

Trask is a steal at this pick, as he is expected to go in the late 2nd round. Unfortunately for him, the only QB-needy team in that position is the Saints, who went with Kellen Mond in this scenario, so Trask falls. Washington picks him up as a developmental quarterback who could eventually take over as the starter.


75. Dallas Cowboys: Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana

The Cowboys continue to add to their depleted secondary with Johnson. He’s a good value pick here, as he could have gone as early as the second round.


76. New York Giants: Spencer Brown, OT, Northern Iowa

Daniel Jones needs better protection if he is going to succeed in the NFL. Spencer Brown can add depth and compete for a starting job.


77. Los Angeles Chargers: Hunter Long, TE, Boston College

The Chargers lost Hunter Henry in free agency, so they could use help at tight end. Hunter Long isn’t as good as the top four tight ends, but he should be able to add to that tight end room.


78. Minnesota Vikings: Walker Little, OT, Stanford

The Vikings could use help at tackle. They are reportedly considering a trade up into the top-10 to get one of the top two tackles in the draft. In this scenario, they don’t make a trade, so they address tackle in the third round.


79. Las Vegas Raiders: Baron Browning, LB, Ohio State

The Raiders need to add more depth at linebacker, so they go with Baron Browning out of Ohio State. He can compete for a starting job right away.


80. Las Vegas Raiders: Aaron Banks, G, Notre Dame

Even after using their first round pick on an offensive lineman, the Raiders could still use some more players along the line. Banks offers the ability to take over for Gabe Jackson if necessary.


81. Miami Dolphins: Josh Myers, C, Ohio State

The Dolphins have addressed almost all of their positions of need at this point, but they could still use some help along the offensive line. Myers is a great value pick at this point in the draft and can compete for a starting job.


82. Washington Football Team: Pete Werner, LB, Ohio State

Pete Werner is a fantastic value pick here, as he could have gone in the second round. He also fills a need for Washington, so they jump on the ability to grab him.


83. Chicago Bears: Davis Mills, QB, Stanford

The Bears could take their favorite second-tier quarterback in the second round, but in this scenario the last of those players falls to them in the third. Davis Mills is a developmental player who could eventually become the starter.


84. Philadelphia Eagles: Chazz Surratt, LB, UNC

The Eagles still need to add a linebacker, and Surratt is the best available. He’s also a solid value pick this late in the third round.


85. Tennessee Titans: Nico Collins, WR, Michigan

The Titans could use a good number two option at receiver, and Nico Collins has the upside to develop into a great player. He’s very big and very fast, so with good coaching, he could become a very good option.


86. New York Jets: Robert Hainsey, G/C, Notre Dame

The Jets need to add more offensive linemen, and Hainsey is the last offensive line prospect in the high third round tier within this deep offensive line class. He can compete for the starting job as a rookie.


87. Pittsburgh Steelers: James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati

The Steelers have many holes on the offensive line, so they continue to address that need here. They were probably hoping one of the higher-end third round prospects fell to them, but in this scenario, nobody did.


88. Los Angeles Rams: Jackson Carman, OT, Clemson

The Rams have problems on the offensive line, so they take advantage of this deep draft class and grab Jackson Carman to add some depth.


89. Cleveland Browns: Divine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech

The Browns have many holes to fill on defense, and safety is one of them. Deablo can compete for a starting job as a rookie and has good upside.


90. Minnesota Vikings: Alim McNeill, DT, N.C. State

McNeill is a good value pick at this point in the third round, so the Vikings go with him to improve a defense that wasn’t very good last year. There were holes on virtually every level of that defense, so Minnesota will just want the best defensive player available.


91. Cleveland Browns: Jay Tufele, DT, USC

The Browns don’t have a major need at defensive tackle, but Tufele is too good of a value to pass on this late in the third round.


92. Green Bay Packers: Osa Odighizuwa, DT, UCLA

The Packers will look to add depth to the defensive line at some point during this draft, so they go with Odighizuwa here.


93. Buffalo Bills: Kelvin Joseph, CB, Kentucky

The Bills struggled in pass defense last year, so they will look to add players to their secondary. Kelvin Joseph is a good option at cornerback who should be able to carve out a role early in his career.


94. Baltimore Ravens: Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Memphis

The Ravens already have two running backs, but given how much they run the ball, they could use another guy in the rotation. Gainwell can also contribute heavily on third down as a pass catcher.


95. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Trey Hill, C, Georgia

Trey Hill is a guy who is all over the place in where people think he will go. Some say mid rounds, others go as far as to say he’ll be undrafted. He has a ton of upside, but is somewhat risky. The Buccaneers are a team that can afford to take a risk, because they don’t have many holes anyway, so they go with Hill in hopes that he can become a future starter.


96. New England Patriots: Dyami Brown, WR, UNC

Dyami Brown is an incredible value pick this late in the third round. He can contribute immediately at receiver and has the upside of one day becoming New England’s WR1.


97. Los Angeles Chargers: Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB, Syracuse

The Chargers already drafted a cornerback, but the secondary is still an area of concern and at this point of the draft, there is a ton of value at cornerback, so they take Melifonwu.


98. New Orleans Saints: D'Wayne Eskridge, WR, Western Michigan

The Saints need targets to compliment Michael Thomas, so they draft Eskridge here. If Dyami Brown ends up falling like he did in this scenario, New Orleans might consider trading up to get him over the Patriots.


99. Dallas Cowboys: Joseph Ossai, Edge, Texas

The Cowboys need help in almost every area of the defense. Since they’ve already addressed the secondary, they go with a pass rusher to compliment DeMarcus Lawrence.


100. Tennessee Titans: Zech McPhearson, CB, Texas Tech

The Titans have a need at cornerback, and there is a ton of value there at this point in the draft, so they go with Zech McPhearson out of Texas Tech.


101. Detroit Lions: Benjamin St-Juste, CB, Minnesota

The Lions follow the Titans and Chargers by taking advantage of the load of good cornerbacks available. St-Juste fills a need and is a good value.


102. Miami Dolphins: D'Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina

The Dolphins continue to add depth to the offensive line with Smith. All of their positions of need have been filled by now, so they are now just focused on backups.


103. Los Angeles Rams: Paulson Adebo, CB, Stanford

Cornerback is an area of need for the Rams, so they continue the run of cornerbacks by drafting Adebo. He can compete for a big role on that defense.


104. Baltimore Ravens: Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State

Lamar Jackson needs more weapons. Tylan Wallace probably won’t have a large role as a rookie, but he could eventually start for Baltimore.


105. New Orleans Saints: Cameron Sample, Edge, Tulane

Cameron Sample is a good value pick at the end of the third round, and the Saints needed to add depth to the defensive line, so this is an easy pick for New Orleans.
