10. Buffalo Bills- Mike Williams, WR, Clemson

Sammy Watkins is a big-time playmaker but his injury history is a major concern. The Bills need to find someone capable of filling the void if Watkins’ injury woes continue. Mike Williams has that type of upside.

He’s a big-bodied target who makes plays down the field. His ability to win in contested situations will make him one of Tyrod Taylor’s favorite targets.

There’s talk the Bills could use this pick on a quarterback, but that seems like a stretch with 1st-year coach Sean McDermott on board. It makes more sense to move forward with the veteran Taylor.

11. New Orleans Saints- Derek Barnett, Edge, Tennessee

Personally, I have Barnett as a late 1st-round prospect but the rest of the draft community seems to like him a lot more. He is a proven sack artist who just has a great feel for the position. His lack of top-end athleticism is a concern, but his polish could help him overcome that issue.

The Saints need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball and could really benefit from adding another edge rusher. A defensive line featuring Barnett, Cameron Jordan, Sheldon Rankins and Nick Fairley could be dominant.

12. **Trade**Tennessee (Clev/Phi)- O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

Trade Details- Tennessee receives pick No. 12 and No. 52 (2nd Round)– Cleveland receives pick No. 5.

Titans General Manager Jon Robinson isn’t shy about his willingness to move up and down the draft. Swapping picks with the Browns would land him at least a 2nd rounder this year and likely much more.

Tennessee has a huge need at the cornerback position but would get more value by adding O.J. Howard. He doesn’t fit a need but this is a team that could easily run two-tight end sets. The Titans are a run-first offense that would get a ton of use out of someone like Howard.

If Tennessee is ok with John Ross’ medicals I could see him being an option at this spot. His speed is such a game changer that he will be tough to overlook.
