player. 54. . Safety. Florida. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. 25

Philadelphia had a strong defense under former Bills defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. They struggled mightily on the back end at corner and safety outside of Malcolm Jenkins. Adding another young playmaker will help the Eagles defense keep the team in games and allow their offense to play from ahead rather than from behind.

46. . Defensive Tackle. Clemson. Christian Wilkins. 26. player

Much like Oliver, Wilkins will fall in the draft because teams will reach for need. Wilkins is a great football player and Chris Ballard continues his stretch of impact draft selections. Wilkins will help stuff the run and take on blockers to allow Darius Leonard continues his stellar play.

Noah Fant. 27. player. 28. . Tight End. Iowa

Oh yeah, another weapon for the Raiders.

If Fant falls to this point, Oakland needs to sprint up to the podium. Former Raider tight end Jared Cook was one of the most productive tight ends in football last season. The offense fits receiving tight ends well and that is exactly what Fant does best. If the Raiders could add Antonio Brown, Kyler Murray, and Noah Fant to their offense in 2019, they may actually be something.

13. . Linebacker. Michigan. Devin Bush Jr.. 28. player

The Chargers may be one of the most talented teams in the NFL. They have holes in protection and the linebacking corps that be fixed early in the draft. They opt for the speedy LB Bush due to his speed and coverage skills. Denzel Perryman did not pan out for LA and they will replace him with a guy that blazed the combine.

. Edge. Clemson. Clelin Ferrell. 29. player. 124

Kansas City is shifting to a 4-3 defense and they need help. Their defense was the reason they lost a majority of their games last season. Adding a versatile player like Ferrell will help the run and pass defense for the Chiefs, especially if players like Dee Ford and Justin Houston are on the trade block.

Boston College. Chris Lindstrom. 30. player. 49. . Offensive Line

As stated earlier, the Packers need help along both lines. They opted to go pass-rusher at No. 12 and will go offensive here. Lindstrom is an intelligent player that does a good job of utilizing leverage against defenders. The new regime in Green Bay will need Rodgers clean to win in the increasingly competitive NFC North.

51. . Offensive Tackle. Ole Miss. Greg Little. 31. player

Both Rodger Saffold III and John Sullivan are departing via free agency, leaving big voids along the offensive line. Greg Little could slide in at tackle or shift inside to guard. The offense doesn’t need too much help in LA, but their offensive line could use some youth and upgrades. With Andrew Whitworth begin as old as he is, drafting his replacement wouldn’t be a bad idea now before it’s too late.

47. . Tight End. Iowa. T.J. Hockenson. 32. player

With Gronkowski on the decline, the Patriots look for his replacement. Hockenson does everything well and would land in a great situation. Losing Dwayne Allen and possibly Gronkowski to retirement will allow Hockenson to step in and work with one of the greatest players of all time.

I honestly doubt he falls this far, but based on his draft fell, the Patriots got a steal at No. 32.
