| 3 | VIC BEASLEY | LB | ATL | don’t be afraid, just draft him (B E A S T) |

| 5 | LANDON COLLINS | DB | NYG | going to be a tackle machine |
| 6 | DENZEL PERRYMAN | LB | SDC | could be a mid-season darling, thumper will make noise |

| 20 | LEONARD WILLIAMS | DE | NYJ | crowded line but NYJ will find ways to get him on field |
| 21 | ADRIAN AMOS | DB | CHI | should be the favorite to start at FS, Amos can ball |

| 36 | EDDIE GOLDMAN | DT | CHI | Eddie going to eat up tackles in the middle, Wilfork style! |
| 37 | KEVIN JOHNSON | DB | HOU | if he continues to impress, will make Joseph expendable |
