6. Tennessee Titans (From NY Jets)

player. 35. Trading back to from #2 to #6 allowed the Titans address a major need on the offensive line. Scherff will probably fill the hole left by Michael Roos. Much will be made about Tennessee not taking Mariota at #2, but I don’t feel as if he is the guy they really want and instead look to the future as they continue to add pieces.. Offensive Tackle. Iowa. Brandon Scherff. 6

7. Chicago Bears

Many look for the Bears to try to replace Marshall here, but this class is deep enough at WR, that the bears will wait until the later rounds. Instead they add to their defense and grab Gregory for their new 3-4 defense. Gregory should pair nicely with recent acquisition McDonald to give the Bears some good pass rushers in their new scheme.. Defensive End. Nebraska. Randy Gregory. 7. player. 57

8. Cleveland Browns (From Atlanta)

Kevin White. 8. player. 53. The Browns want a #1 wideout and they feel White is that guy. They find a way to move up to get him, while holding onto their other pick in the first round. Cleveland probably could have sat back and ended up with Parker, but with the Rams sure to take White if he was still there, the Browns pull the trigger and get the guy they want.. Wide Receiver. West Virginia

9. New York Giants

Offensive Tackle. Stanford. Andrus Peat. 9. player. 31. The Giants are taking the better of Peat or Scherff with this pick regardless of what happens above them. With Scherff off the board, their decision is made a little easier and Peat becomes the guy. Peat should be an immediate upgrade in place of Pugh at Right Tackle, which will free the Giants up to focus on defense moving forward.

10. St. Louis Rams

Offensive Tackle. Miami. Ereck Flowers. 10. player. 51. With the two top tackles already off the board the Rams look to move back. Unfortunately that are not able to find a suitor and have to reach for a guy many consider closer to a mid-1st level talent. While the best player available is probably Parker or Brown, the Rams know they need to fix their offensive line and that starts with Flowers.
