14 Bears Aaron Donald DT Pitt Louis Nix III DT ND Aaron Donald DT Pitt Futscher – The Bears need a big body on the interior. Nix fits the mold perfectly.
15 Steelers Justin Gilbert CB OKSU Darqueze Dennard CB MSU Anthony Barr OLB / DE UCLA Fleming – Barr is a freak athletically for a linebacker and will help revamp the struggling Pittsburgh LB core.

22 Eagles Ryan Shazier OLB Ohio State Jimmy Ward FS Northern Illinois Bradley Roby CB OSU Brooks – A former high school DE projects as a fast edge rusher.
23 Chiefs Odell Beckham Jr. WR LSU Brandin Cooks WR Oregon State Brandin Cooks WR Oregon State Futscher – He is ridiculously fast and the Chiefs need someone else for Alex Smith to throw the ball to.
24 Bengals Kyle Fuller CB Virgina Tech Odell Beckham Jr. WR LSU Jason Verret CB TCU Fleming – The Bengals desperately need help in the secondary and Verret is a perfect fit.
25 Chargers Louis Nix Nose Tackle ND Timmy Jernigan DT FSU Louis Nix III DT ND Brooks – Big man to fill a big hole in the middle of the Super Charger defense.
