16) Detroit Lions: Sheldon Rankins DT, Louisville

The Lions missed an element on defense without Ndamukong Suh on their team. Rankins is the best pure interior lineman in this draft and would be a great fit here.

17) Atlanta Falcons: Kevin Dodd DE, Clemson 

The Falcons have had trouble stopping the run and rushing the passer for a few years now and after taking Vic Beasley out of Clemson last year this year they take his teammate.

18) Indianapolis Colts: Taylor Decker OT, Ohio State

Taylor Decker has a lot of talent but profiles as a right tackle in the NFL. The Colts don’t care, they heard offensive lineman and then immediately turned in their ticket.

19) Buffalo Bills: Reggie Ragland ILB, Alabama

The Bills need a hard hitting inside linebacker to make Rex Ryan’s defense work and Ragland is exactly that.

20) New York Jets: Jarran Reed DT, Alabama

The Jets need to replace what they lost in Damon Harrison to keep their defense elite.
