Buffalo Bills- Patrick Peterson

Tennessee Titans- Von Miller

Dallas Cowboys- Prince Amukamara

Dallas has a lot of issues in the secondary and Prince will provide an immediate impact as a starter.

Washington Redskins-Julio Jones

Washington decides to put a big body opposite to Santana Moss and sure up a shaky WR corps.

San Diego Chargers- Brandon Harris

Bob Sanders provides an upgrade at safety, and now the Chargers add an athletic CB to further improve their secondary.

New York Giants- Phil Taylor

While some may think this is too high for Taylor he is a great fit in NY. He provides a big body in the middle and his stamina won’t be an issue as they frequently use defensive sets with 3-4 DE’s on the field on passing downs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Nate Solder

Tampa can go a number of directions with this pick but ultimately decide to add a OT to help protect Freeman.

Kansas City Chiefs-Stephen Paea

Chicago Bears- Tyron Smith

New York Jets- Jonathan Baldwin

Akeem Ayers is an option to replace Jason Taylor here, but with the future of Holmes and Edwards uncertain the Jets decide to address the offensive side of the ball and grab a talented WR.
