9. Buffalo Bills
Eric Ebron
Tight End, North Carolina
The NFL has become a pass happy league. Tight ends have become a vital part of many offenses. Ebron has outstanding athleticism for his size. At 6′ 4″, 250 and a 4.6 / 40 speed he can separate from linebackers and safeties. And break the tackles he can’t outrun.

10. Detroit Lions
Aaron Donald
Defensive Tackle, Pittsburgh
The Lions aren’t missing much. But adding a defensive tackle could help tip the scales for the Lions this season. Hopefully Lions quarterback Matt Stafford can clean up his act this season and with help of the defense and a new head coach maybe they can be contenders this year.

11. Tennessee Titans
Anthony Barr
Outside Linebacker, UCLA
Probably one of the most sought after linebackers in the draft. He could make a huge difference for the Titans. But judging from last season, any help would be welcome.

12. New York Giants
Taylor Lewan
Offensive Tackle, Michigan
Quarterback Eli Manning needs protection. He was rushed and hurried all last season and threw a career high 27 interceptions. Taylor Lewan can help give Manning a few extra steps and take his time to chuck the ball more accurately. Lewan could make the difference in the Giants’ season.
