25. Cleveland Browns (via Hou)- James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State

James Washington is one of my favorite players in this draft class. His aggressive style of play is something that you can’t teach. The Browns can use another option at wide receiver—especially if they draft a quarterback at No. 1.

26. Los Angeles Rams- Uchenna Nwosu, Edge, USC

Uchenna Nwosu is an underrated prospect who has tremendous upside. He is someone who does everything from setting the edge, rushing the passer and dropping into coverage. His upside as a pass rusher is what will help him get pick this early.

27. Seattle Seahawks- Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan

Chukwuma Okorafor is squarely in the mix to be the 1st offensive lineman selected in this draft. He features a combination of excellent size and athleticism. The Seattle Seahawks need a steady presence like Okorafor upfront.

28. Pittsburgh Steelers- Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State

Don’t sleep on the small school Dallas Goedert. He’s a true mismatch in the passing game and would give the Pittsburgh Steelers their replacement for Heath Miller.

29. Dallas Cowboys- Maurice Hurst, DL, Michigan

The Dallas Cowboys need to continue to add talent on the defensive side of the ball. Maurice Hurst is a penetrating defensive tackle who would help create pressure in the quarterback’s face. His addition would also help the secondary.

30. Buffalo Bills (via KC)- Cameron Smith, LB, USC

Cameron Smith is a heady and athletic linebacker prospect. He does a great job trusting his reads and flying to the football. The Buffalo Bills would find the leader of their defense with this pick.

31. Philadelphia Eagles- Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to get a glimpse what life will be like without Jason Peters. His injury is going to make life much more difficult for Carson Wentz. Jamarco Jones is a tackle prospect who could serve as Peters’ long-term replacement.

32. New England Patriots- Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson

New England is starting to get things settled on the defensive side of the ball. However, they still need another pass rushing presence off the edge. Clelin Ferrell is quickly developing into a real force.
