21. Indianapolis Colts- Carl Lawson, Edge, Auburn
Auburn’s Carl Lawson is a terrific talent who possesses the natural skills needed to get after the quarterback. However, health is starting to be come a major red flag. He missed all of last year with a knee injury and is not dealing with a potentially serious hip injury. Another long-term injury would derail Lawson’s chances of being a 2016 1st round pick.
However, a healthy Lawson would fill a major need for the Indianapolis Colts. They have struggled to generate a consistent pass rush which has impacted the entire defense’s effectiveness.

22. Carolina Panthers- Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU
The Carolina Panthers have an obvious need at the wide receiver position, but the last thing they need is another inexperienced player at that spot. They would be better off signing a free agent veteran to pair with Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess. This would allow them to address other positions such as cornerback.
Tre’Davious White is a fast rising prospect who features excellent size, a physical style of play and solid instincts. A tandem of White and the emerging Josh Norman would give the Panthers an excellent young cornerback group.

23. Dallas Cowboys- Josh Doctson, WR, TCU
The Dallas Cowboys are going to get a great look at what they have in youngster Terrance Williams with both Dez Bryant and Tony Romo out of the lineup. Williams has shown flashes throughout his career but there have also been problems with drops and bouts of poor production.
If Williams fails to establish himself, the Cowboys could address the wide receiver position early in the 2016 draft. TCU’s Josh Doctson is a natural playmaker who can stretch the field, find success in the red zone and run clean routes.

24. Buffalo Bills- Cardale Jones, QB, Ohio State
Cardale Jones is already going through some tough times at Ohio State with some calling for him to be replaces as the starter. He’ll likely get another chance to prove himself where I expect he’ll rise to the occasion. Jones didn’t buckle under the pressure last season when he was trusted into a Championship race.
The Buffalo Bills are fully behind Tyrod Taylor as their starting quarterback for this year. He has played solid football but is far from guaranteed the long-term job. Taylor needs to lead this team on a playoff run if he hopes to avoid being replace during the offseason.
