17. New Tork Giants: Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virginia Tech

This scenario would be perfect for the New York Giants as they add a solid left tackle prospect after trading back and gaining major picks in the future. Christian Darrisaw is one of the best true tackle prospects in this class and would be a great addition to this offensive line that is still searching for answers.

18. Miami Dolphins: Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson

This is the first selection where a running back could come off the board as the team continues to try and build around their young quarterback. Travis Etienne is a dynamic back that can play in every phase of offense.

19. Washington Football Team: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah would be a huge addition to this already dominant defensive front. Washington continues to add to their strength that got them into the playoffs last season.

20. Chicago Bears: Greg Newsome II, CB, Northwestern

Greg Newsome staying home in Chicago would be a nice story as the corner has shot up draft boards ever since last season. He showed up big time and this player will be the replacement for Kyle Fuller.

21. Indianapolis Colts: Kwity Paye, Edge, Michigan

Indianapolis has let Justin Houston out into the free agency waters and they will go in another direction. They need a replacement and Kwity Paye is the answer. He continues to get better every year and that growth will translate well at the NFL level.

22. Tennessee Titans: Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech

At one point in the past year, Caleb Farley was the number one corner on many draft boards but other prospects had better seasons. He is still a great prospect that will play nicely in the NFL and the Tennessee Titans need help across their defense.

23. New York Jets: Azeez Ojulari, Edge, Georgia

The Jets signed Carl Lawson in free agency but they need someone to help on the opposite side of the defensive front. Getting Azeez Ojulari here is a great selection as he rose up draft boards ever since his great season at Georgia.

24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Najee Harris, RB, Alabama

Najee Harris has been mocked to the Steelers ever since he won the championship at Alabama. That normally means he won’t be the selection but it makes a ton of sense for a team that has struggled to find a premiere back.
