26. Indianapolis Colts – Christian Wilkins, DT (Clemson)

The Colts send out a thank you letter to the rest of the teams for allowing Wilkins to fall this far. I could very well see this happening, and strongly project that Wilkins could land in Indianapolis. The Colts would love for it to come to fruition. Although they need to add a receiver, interior defensive line help is more of a priority. Also knowing that they’ll pick again in just eight selections they understand they can simply get their receiver then.

27. Oakland Raiders – Clelin Ferrell, EDGE (Clemson)

At first, it was hard to picture Ferrell falling this far compared to where he was projected following the end of the NFL season. However, Ferrell wasn’t that impressive at his Combine workout. He wasn’t bad either, but other players simply outshined, and as a result, have leaped him in the rankings. Ferrell is still a terrific player, and the Raiders would be getting him here at a great value.

28. Los Angeles Chargers – Dalton Risner, OT (Kansas State)

The Chargers elect to reach here with an offensive tackle to help Philip Rivers. Outside of a defensive tackle, Los Angeles doesn’t have a lot of needs so investing on a versatile tackle like Risner is a wise decision. Risner is a bruising offensive lineman that can play nearly anywhere on the interior. He’s the type of player that Rivers would love to have.

29. Kansas City Chiefs – DeAndre Baker, CB (Georgia)

Yes, the Chiefs went out and signed Tyrann Mathieu and Bashaud Breeland to boost their secondary, but it’s not enough. Not stopping the Patriots on 3rd-and-9, 3rd-and-10, and 3rd-and-10, respectively, was the difference maker in not reaching the Super Bowl. Kansas City already possesses, arguably, the best offense in football. Now, they need to build a solid defense to go with it in order for them to hoist the Lombardi Trophy next February.

30. Green Bay Packers – Taylor Rapp, S (Washington)

With no other tight ends taken since they last selected, the Packers could’ve opted to snag one here instead. It doesn’t hurt them, however, as they grab one of the more exciting players in Rapp to solidify their defense.

31. Los Angeles Rams – Nasir Adderley, S (Delaware)

The Rams are also in the spot for some secondary help. Adderley comes from a small school, but with a number of secondary players coming off the board ahead of them, he is the next best option.

32. New England Patriots – T.J. Hockenson, TE (Iowa)

Rob Gronkowski‘s days in New England have to be numbered sooner than later. So how convenient is it for the Patriots that a high-quality tight end falls in their laps to fill his place?
