23. Dallas Cowboys (11-4)
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
Cornerback, Oregon
The Cowboys need help across the board defensively. I think that the Cowboys will choose between Ekpre-Olomu, Wake Forrest’s Kevin Johnson and Washington’s Marcus Peters. I think that they will go with Ekpre-Olomu because he has the highest ceiling of the three, and he doesn’t have Peters’ off field issues. It also can’t hurt that Ekpre-Olomu is already very familiar with Chip Kelly’s offense.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5)
Eddie Goldman
Defensive Tackle, Florida State
The Steelers need help on their defensive line and Goldman has been an anchor for the strong Florida State defense.
25. Arizona Cardinals (11-4)
Benardrick McKinney
Inside Linebacker, Mississippi State
Ever since the Cardinals lost Dansby last year they have struggled at the linebacker position on defense. They need help on defense largely because of the injuries and McKinney is the best inside linebacker in the draft.
26. Cincinnati Bengals (10-4-1)
Ereck Flowers
Offensive Tackle, Miami (FL)
The Bengals have a solid team all around, but could use Flowers to solidify their offensive line. With starting left tackle Andrew Whitworth set to become a free agent soon, this could be insurance more than anything else.
27. Detroit Lions (11-4)
Marcus Peters
Cornerback, Washington
The Lions could use help in their secondary and with the value of Peters this late in the draft, they shouldn’t be scared off by his off field issues.
28. Indianapolis Colts (10-5)
Kevin Johnson
Cornerback, Wake Forrest
The Colts have needed a legitimate cornerback to play opposite Vontae Davis for a while now, and Johnson has the talent and potential that he should be able to step in and be an immediate starter for the Colts.
