19. **Trade** Houston Texans (TB)- Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Trade Details- Tampa Bay receives picks No. 25 and No. 89 (3rd Round)- Houston receives pick No. 19.

The Houston Texans are a team that could realistically say they are a quarterback away from contending for a title. This team has an elite defense, strong running game and playmakers at wide receiver.

They are saying all the right things regarding Tom Savage, but they need to add some competition and Deshaun Watson would be a great pick up. He’s a proven winner who would command the respect of his veteran teammates.

20. Denver Broncos- Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

More from With the First Pick

Denver’s porous offensive line play was the main reason the team failed to reach the playoffs. They were unable to establish a consistent running attack and allowed a lot of pressure on inexperienced quarterbacks.

The best thing John Elway could do is sure up the offensive line and give his young quarterbacks every chance to succeed. However, I could see them adding a pass rusher or even surprising everyone by selecting Joe Mixon.

21. Detroit Lions- Takkarist McKinley, Edge, UCLA

Takk McKinley is my No. 10 rated player and someone I see as a potential difference maker. His explosiveness and non-stop motor are common traits for successful pass rusher.

Detroit is looking for pass rushing help opposite Ziggy Ansah who has been beat up by double teams the past few years. Adding McKinley will provide some relief for Ansah and give the Lions another explosive edge rusher.
