Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford

-

Haason Reddick, LB, Temple

After raising eyebrows at the Senior Bowl and dropping jaws at the scouting combine, Reddick is shooting up a lot of draft boards.

Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina

Best-case scenario comes to fruition for the Browns as they get the best quarterbac­k prospect in the draft and take the first QB off the board.

Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Carson Palmer is 37 and would be a great mentor for Watson as part of a succession plan.

Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State

Conley is an ideal replacemen­t for Nolan Carroll, whom the Eagles let leave in free agency.

Takkarist McKinley, LB, UCLA

Protecting Andrew Luck is a priority, just not a top one, especially this year with a thin class of offensive linemen.

Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

Taking Breshad Perriman in the first round in 2015 has yet to pay off for the Ravens, so they again try to find a No. 1 receiver for Joe Flacco.

The Redskins have a lot of holes on defense, and most mock drafts have them going in that direction, but Jay Gruden would love to get his hands on a versatile weapon like McCaffrey.

Tre’Davious White, CB, LSU

There is more value at corner midway through the first round than at receiver, and the risk of taking Williams so high at No. 5 pays off here.

O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama

Adding Howard to go with receivers DeSean Jackson and Mike Evans could vault QB Jameis Winston into the MVP conversati­on this year.

Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin

The Broncos face Raiders end Khalil Mack twice a year and gave up 40 sacks last year.

Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

The Lions fill their biggest need with a player who is sure to be a fan favorite with great pass-rushing skills to go along with his unusual name.

Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky

The first first-round pick in WKU history fills a need on the line. Last year’s firstround pick, guard Laremy Tunsil, is expected to stay at tackle, where he finished the season.

Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

After the Giants spent all that money on the defense last offseason, it’s time for them to fortify a leaky offensive line.

Kevin King, CB, Washington

Imagine the marketing possibilit­ies when the King moves to Las Vegas.

Pat Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech

With Tony Romo headed to the broadcast booth, this is the best way for the Texans to fill that glaring hole at the most important position on the field.

Garett Bolles, OT, Utah

Bolles is just what the Seahawks need to start rebuilding one of the worst offensive lines in the league.

Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina

The Chiefs need another receiver, and no one made a stronger impression at the Senior Bowl. Jones followed that up by running a 4.46 40-yard dash at the combine.

Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan

The Cowboys’ secondary had mass defections in free agency. And while there is still a question as to whether Peppers is a linebacker or safety, Dallas seems like a good landing spot for him.

Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

The Packers desperatel­y need a running back; their current starter is converted receiver Ty Montgomery.

T.J. Watt, LB, Wisconsin

Watt not only has a knack for getting to the quarterbac­k, he’s versatile enough to play inside, which would make him a great fit in defensive coordinato­r Keith Butler’s scheme.

Charles Harris, DE, Missouri

The Falcons certainly could have used another pass rusher in Super Bowl LI.

Budda Baker, S, Washington

A team in desperate need of defensive playmakers gets another one to add to Reddick at No. 11.
