11. Denver Broncos
Isaiah Simmons | LB | Clemson
This defense needs a three-down playmaker at the second level, and this pick would be the perfect fit. Simmons is a rare athlete and a versatile defender who can matchup with the best player on any offense, making him the kind of guy opposing offenses have to scheme for on a weekly basis.
12. Carolina Panthers
Kristian Fulton | CB | LSU
There are other tempting options here, but with James Bradberry likely headed elsewhere in free agency, the Panthers need a replacement for their top cover man. Fulton has the size, physicality and ball skills to be the perfect fit.
13. Philadelphia Eagles
CeeDee Lamb | WR | Oklahoma
What a lucky break for the Eagles, who desperately need a difference-maker to improve their beat-up receiving corps. Lamb is easily a top-10 prospect in this class, making him a huge steal outside that range. His complete skill set and prowess after the catch would make him an immediate star in Philly.
14. Oakland Raiders
Henry Ruggs III | WR | Alabama
After the Antonio Brown debacle, the Raiders are still in need of a dynamic pass-catcher who can take the top off opposing defenses and also make plays at every level of the field. Ruggs has rare speed and explosiveness, with the polished route-running skills to make big plays every time the ball comes his way.
15. Indianapolis Colts
Javon Kinlaw | DL | South Carolina
This defense loves versatility and athleticism, which makes Kinlaw the perfect fit in the trenches. He’s still smoothing out the rough edges in his game, but Kinlaw’s combination of size and athleticism make him a dominant force, no matter where he lines up.
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jedrick Wills | OT | Alabama
Jameis Winston bears plenty of responsibility for his turnovers, but he’s also getting hit and sacked as much as any quarterback in the league. The Bucs need an immediate upgrade at right tackle, and Wills is the perfect fit. He can start from Day 1 on the right side, and could eventually unseat Donovan Smith at left tackle.
17. Cleveland Browns
Grant Delpit | S | LSU
Offensive line is easily the biggest need for the Browns, but the way the board falls in this scenario, the value just isn’t there. Instead, they steal one of the most promising defenders in the entire draft. Delpit hasn’t lived up to the top-10 preseason hype, but he’s still loaded with potential at a position of need in Cleveland.
18. Oakland Raiders (from CHI)
Kenneth Murray | LB | Oklahoma
After filling their biggest offensive need earlier in the round, the Raiders need to use their second first-rounder to do the same for their defense. Murray’s instincts and athleticism make him one of the nation’s most complete linebacker prospects.
19. Tennessee Titans
Tyler Biadasz | OL | Wisconsin
The Titans might just have their quarterback in veteran Ryan Tannehill, but they need to surround him with as much help as possible. That starts in the trenches, where they land one of the nation’s best blockers in Biadasz, who can be an immediate starter on the inside.
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from LAR)
Tee Higgins | WR | Clemson
After getting a defensive playmaker in the top 10, the Jags need to use their additional first-rounder in this draft to give their offensive a true No.1 receiver for whoever ends up throwing passes next season. Higgins has a rare combination of size, length, athleticism and body control.
