Published:
Updated:
Keeping
[Marcus Mariota](/player/marcusmariota/2552466/profile) upright in the pocket is Mike Mularkey's top priority. Tunsil is a franchise left tackle with exceptional movement skills, balance and body control.
The small-school standout is a prototypical dual-threat quarterback with the A-plus arm talent and athleticism to thrive in Hue Jackson's offense.
The versatile defender is the perfect replacement for
[Eric Weddle](/player/ericweddle/2495775/profile) in the middle of the
[Chargers](/teams/sandiegochargers/profile?team=SD)' secondary.
The energetic pass rusher with versatile skills is a nice fit in Rod Marinelli's aggressive defense.
The
[Jaguars](/teams/jacksonvillejaguars/profile?team=JAC) have significantly upgraded the defense with their free-agent moves, but the addition of a sideline-to-sideline menace would help Gus Bradley's troops challenge for the AFC South title.
The freakishly athletic defender can play multiple spots in the
[Ravens](/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL)' hybrid scheme.
The
[49ers](/teams/sanfrancisco49ers/profile?team=SF) could bypass a quarterback in favor of the powerful edge rusher with exceptional hand skills.
Despite having a pair of veteran quarterbacks on the roster, the
[Eagles](/teams/philadelphiaeagles/profile?team=PHI) could target Goff as the franchise quarterback of the future.
The
[Buccaneers](/teams/tampabaybuccaneers/profile?team=TB) address their pass-rush woes by nabbing an intriguing edge defender with enticing skills as a run/pass playmaker.
Upgrading the offensive line could be a priority with
[Eli Manning](/player/elimanning/2505996/profile) entering the twilight of his career.
John Fox can't resist adding a feisty cover corner with sound technical skills and a high football IQ.
The penetrating defensive tackle would give the
[Saints](/teams/neworleanssaints/profile?team=NO) an active three-technique to place alongside
[Cameron Jordan](/player/cameronjordan/2495184/profile) on the line.
The Ohio State standout would give the
[Dolphins](/teams/miamidolphins/profile?team=MIA) an electric runner to build around.
The
[Raiders](/teams/oaklandraiders/profile?team=OAK) could take a chance on the ultra-talented interior rusher despite his disappointing sack production as a collegian.
Adding a classic WR1 is one of the
[Rams](/teams/losangelesrams/profile?team=LA)' priorities on draft day.
The
[Lions](/teams/detroitlions/profile?team=DET) need to find a young, disruptive defensive tackle to fill a void in the middle.
Floyd's versatility as a second-level defender (pass rusher/run-and-chase playmaker) could make him an enticing option for the
[Falcons](/teams/atlantafalcons/profile?team=ATL).
Protecting
[Andrew Luck](/player/andrewluck/2533031/profile) is the
[Colts](/teams/indianapoliscolts/profile?team=IND)' top priority after watching the team fail to make the playoffs without their leader under center.
Rex Ryan builds his defense around the big bodies in the trenches. Reed is a destructive force with the size, athleticism and energy to wreak havoc from multiple spots on the interior.
Finding a replacement for the aging
[D'Brickashaw Ferguson](/player/d'brickashawferguson/2506876/profile) should be a priority for the
[Jets](/teams/newyorkjets/profile?team=NYJ).
Smith's injury prognosis will ultimately determine whether he is a viable first-round pick, but Scot McCloughan can't resist taking a good player with exceptional instincts and awareness.
The
[Texans](/teams/houstontexans/profile?team=HOU) want to add a speed receiver to the lineup to alleviate some of the coverage on
[DeAndre Hopkins](/player/deandrehopkins/2540165/profile).
Mike Zimmer would love to add another playmaking linebacker to the mix to put the finishing touches on a dominant defensive unit.
The
[Bengals](/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN) nab an explosive WR2 to pair with
[A.J. Green](/player/a.j.green/2495450/profile).
Jackson fits the prototype (long and athletic) of the cornerbacks the
[Steelers](/teams/pittsburghsteelers/profile?team=PIT) typically covet.
After losing
[Bruce Irvin](/player/bruceirvin/2532871/profile) in free agency, the
[Seahawks](/teams/seattleseahawks/profile?team=SEA) could use another designated pass rusher to play a key role in their sub-packages.
With
[Clay Matthews](/player/claymatthews/80431/profile) slated to return to his OLB spot, the
[Packers](/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB) need a communicative "thumper" in the middle of the defense.
After losing
[Sean Smith](/player/seansmith/2507783/profile) during free agency, the
[Chiefs](/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC) could go after the Ohio State standout to fill the void on the perimeter.
The feisty cover corner would fit an immediate need as a potential starter/nickel corner in the lineup.
Despite
[Charles Johnson](/player/charlesjohnson/2541147/profile)'s return, the
[Panthers](/teams/carolinapanthers/profile?team=CAR) need to find a reliable pass rusher in the draft.
Although Lynch needs some time to develop, the presence of
[Mark Sanchez](/player/marksanchez/79858/profile) gives the
[Broncos](/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN) ample time to wait on the talented playmaker.
