My NFL Mock Draft Part 2 (Picks 17-32)

17. San Francisco 49ers (via trade with Ravens): Odell Beckham Jr. WR LSU

The 49ers could use some help at WR. To get a top WR like Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans would require a big trade up. Making a smaller deal and get someone like Odell Beckham Jr would be a smarter move. He is a reach at the 17th pick but they would probably get a good deal from the Ravens. The 49ers and Ravens have a good relationship as the head coaches are brothers. Last year the Ravens traded Anquan Boldin to the 49ers for a 6th round pick.

18. New York Jets: Brandon Cooks WR Oregon State

Even though they signed Eric Decker the Jets are hurting at WR. Brandon Cooks is one of the best options behind Watkins and Evans.

19. Minnesota Vikings (via trade with Dolphins): Derek Carr QB Fresno State

The Vikings need a QB. Some people think they might trade up to get Bortles or Manziel but I think they will trade down to add depth and still get someone like Derek Carr. Some people are saying he may be the best QB in this year's draft. I think trading down and still getting a top QB is a good deal for the Vikings.

20. Arizona Cardinals: Anthony Barr OLB UCLA

Barr's draft stock is falling like a rock for some reason. I still think he is a top rookie linebacker. If the Cardinals realise this I think they will take him. He would improve their pass rush. You got to have a pass rush to compete in the brutal NFC West.

21. Green Bay Packers: Eric Ebron TE North Carolina

The Packers are hurting at TE. Drafting the best TE in this year's draft with the 21st pick would be a steal.

22. Philadelphia Eagles: Kelvin Benjamin WR Florida State  

After losing Desean Jackson the Eagles will probably go WR in the first round. The explosive Kelvin Benjamin would be a great fit for Chip Kelly's offense.

23. Kansas City Chiefs: Marqise Lee WR USC

The Chiefs need a WR and at this point Lee is the best available option so I think they would get him in this scenario.

24. Cincinnati Bengals: Kyle Fuller CB Virginia Tech

The Bengals will be looking for a corner in the first round. At this point Fuller is probably the best available option so they would probably get him. They could get Bradley Roby but he just got in some trouble so his draft stock may fall.

25. San Diego Chargers: Louis Nix NT Notre Dame 

Nix is huge at 6'2 342 pounds. He would improve the Chargers pass rush.

26. Cleveland Browns: Xavier Su'a-Filo OG UCLA

Besides the big gaping hole at QB the Browns need offensive line help.

27. New Orleans Saints: Kony Ealy DE Missouri

The Saints are still in the process of rebuilding the worst defense ever (they literally had the worst total defense ever in 2012). Ealy should help improve the pass rush.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars (via trade with Panthers): Teddy Bridgewater QB Louisville

Recent reports are saying the Panthers may be looking to trade down. The Panthers need a WR and since there are a lot of WR needy teams drafting ahead of them I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to trade down. The Jaguars pick 7th in the second round. Bridgwater's draft stock is falling but I doubt it will fall that far. They may need to trade up if they want him.

29. New England Patriots: Ra'shede Hageman DT Minnesota

The Patriots will be looking for D-line help and at this point Hageman would be one of the best available options. 

30. Baltimore Ravens (via trade with 49ers): Morgan Moses OT Virginia

The Ravens may trade down. They could use some help at offensive line. Morgan Moses would be one of the best available choices in this scenario.

31. Denver Broncos: Ryan Shazier OLB Ohio State

Shazier is the best option at linebacker behind guys like Mack, Mosely and Barr. The Broncos could have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL with players like Demarcus Ware, Von Miller and Ryan Shazier.

32. Seattle Seahawks: Joel Bitonio OT Nevada

The Seahawks will be looking to improve their offensive line with their first round pick. Bitonio should be one of the best available OTs at this point.
