17. Detroit Lions- Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State

Dre’Mont Jones is someone who doesn’t get nearly enough attention. He is an extremely disruptive defensive tackle prospect who makes a living in the backfield. Jones also has the size to hold up well against the run.

18. Buffalo Bills- Deon Cain, WR, Clemson

The explosiveness of Deon Cain is something every NFL offense looks for in a wide receiver prospect. His draft stock is on the rise because he has shown development as a route runner. The Bills need a difference maker on the outside and Cain fits the bill.

19. New Orleans Saints- Sam Hubbard, Edge, Ohio State

The Saints have seen their defense start moving in the right direction this year. They have several young players starting to emerge as building blocks. However, they could use another edge rusher like Ohio State’s Sam Hubbard.

20. Washington Redskins- Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

Derrius Guice is a top-10 talent who could be the focal point of an offensive attack. He runs with a ton of passion always fighting for extra yardage. The Washington Redskins will need a strong run game to lean on if Kirk Cousins leaves via free agency.

21. Jacksonville Jaguars- Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State

Even if the Jacksonville Jaguars decide to bring Blake Bortles back for another season they must start looking to the future. Bortles has had his chance to develop and seize the starting job. Mason Rudolph would be someone who could compete with Bortles from day one.

22. Atlanta Falcons- Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame

Adding a massive road-grader like Quenton Nelson would help rejuvenate the Atlanta Falcons running game. Nelson is a physical presence who excels at moving defenders off the line of scrimmage.

23. Oakland Raiders- Vita Vea, NT, Washington

Vita Vea is an intriguing prospect thanks to his combination of size and quickness. He is a defender who is can both occupy blockers and penetrate the pocket. His skill set would add a physical presence along the Raiders defensive front.

24. Minnesota Vikings- Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson

The Minnesota Vikings really don’t have a lot of needs on their roster. This means they can look to add the best player available. At this point, Christian Wilkins fits that bill.
