Tennessee Titans: Carlos Basham, DE/DT, Wake Forest

The Titans traded away Jurrell Casey, so they'll need to find a replacement in the near future.



Carlos Basham always stuffed the run well, but his pass rush improved tremendously from 2018 to 2019.

Minnesota Vikings: Christian Barmore, DE/DT, Alabama

The Vikings have needed a starting defensive tackle next to Linval Joseph for quite some time. Now, they need a starter next to Michael Pierce, or perhaps a replacement for Pierce if he balloons up to 380 pounds during his opt-out.



Christian Barmore has nice length, quickness and athleticism.



Pick change; previously Jay Tufele, DT



New York Giants: Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama

The Giants' issues in their secondary have been well documented. They need another upgrade at cornerback beyond James Bradberry.



Josh Jobe is a big, athletic cornerback with tremendous upside.



Pick change; previously Paulson Adebo, CB







New England Patriots: Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama

The Patriots have the worst receiving corps in the NFL. The only viable player they have at the position is Julian Edelman, who will be 35 next offseason.



Jaylen Waddle looks to be the next great Alabama receiver to enter the NFL. He's one of the quickest players in college football.



Las Vegas Raiders: Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama

It was shocking that the Raiders didn't select Patrick Queen at No. 19 overall. Perhaps they'll obtain a linebacker here instead.



Dylan Moses, a former five-star recruit, missed a chunk of his freshman campaign, but was very productive as a sophomore. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL.







Indianapolis Colts: Kyle Trask, QB, Florida

The Colts could draft a quarterback of the future to take over for Philip Rivers in 2022.



Kyle Trask is an accurate passer with a strong arm, but he needs to hasten his decision-making.



San Francisco 49ers: Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State

Linebacker is the weakness of the 49ers' terrific defense if Kwon Alexander can't stay healthy, so that could be addressed soon.



Looking like the next great linebacker to come out of Penn State, Micah Parsons has been very productive. That's not a surprise, as Parsons was a highly athletic five-star recruit.







Arizona Cardinals: Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech

The Cardinals have needed a No. 2 cornerback across from Patrick Peterson for quite some time. They may need a replacement soon because Peterson's contract expires soon.



Pick change; previously Josh Jobe, CB



Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Wyatt Davis, G, Ohio State

The Buccaneers could stand to add one more improved blocker to protect Tom Brady.



Wyatt Davis is a tough run blocker with nice size.







Buffalo Bills: Deonte Brown, G, Alabama

The Bills struggled when battling tough pass rushes last year, so they'll need to improve their offensive line.



Deonte Brown's strength is blasting open huge holes for his running backs, but he's also a solid pass protector.



Green Bay Packers: Tamorrion Terry, WR, Florida State

The Packers seemed to forget that they had a big need at receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft. Perhaps they'll find an upgrade for Jordan Love in this class.



Tamorrion Terry is a big, athletic receiver who could sneak into the first round.



Pick change; previously DeVonta Smith, WR







Pittsburgh Steelers: Trey Lance, QB, North Dakota State

Mason Rudolph has shown no signs that he can be the Steelers' long-term quarterback.



Trey Lance has some nice physical tools, and he's coming off a huge year in 2019. For more on him, check out Charlie Campbell's entry in the NFL Hot Press.



New Orleans Saints: Paris Ford, S, Pittsburgh

The Saints need to continue to improve their secondary, as their pass defense was a weakness in 2019.



Paris Ford was all over the field last season, and he stood out on film to several scouts.



Pick change; previously Jevon Holland, S



Baltimore Ravens: Seth Williams, WR, Auburn

Lamar Jackson was blamed for the latest playoff loss, but his receivers really let him down.



Seth Williams (6-3, 224) has come out of nowhere to have a huge 2019 campaign.



New York Jets: Kenny Gainwell, RB, Memphis

The Le'Veon Bell-Adam Gase marriage may not end very well. There was already speculation that the Jets may move on from Bell, so perhaps that'll actually happen during the 2021 offseason.



Kenny Gainwell is explosive and fast, and he can go the distance on any play. He needs to bulk up a bit, but his upside is through the roof.







Kansas City Chiefs: Jay Tufele, DT, USC

The Chiefs could add someone to help provide more interior disruption.



Jay Tufele is an extremely athletic and agile 310-pound defensive tackle who could be chosen in the top half of the draft, whenever he declares.



Pick change; previously LaBryan Ray, DT
