Two-round NFL mock draft

Cleveland acquired Tyrod Taylor, but he's likely just a stopgap for another arm. Darnold showed incredible vision while at USC, but some don't feel he's ready to play in the NFL. While Cleveland isn't an optimal situation for any quarterback, he would get time to develop.

After trading Jason Pierre-Paul to Tampa Bay, the Giants are in the market for a defensive end. Chubb is clearly the best on the board, though the Giants could also go quarterback to find a long-term successor for Eli Manning.

The Jets traded up three spots to get in the quarterback picture. They re-signed Josh McCown and brought in former first-round pick Teddy Bridgewater, but they're just placeholders. Allen may not be ready to play in the NFL just yet and has questionable accuracy, but he also has big upside.

Cleveland replaced Isaiah Crowell with Carlos Hyde, but that shouldn't stop the Browns from taking Barkley if they figure he's the best player on the board. That mantra has long been GM John Dorsey's saying in the draft going back to his days in K.C.

Denver is more comfortable at quarterback with Case Keenum, but last year's results in Minnesota don't prove he's a long-term answer yet. Rosen struggled to stay healthy in college, but some feel he's the most talented arm in the draft.

The Colts are loaded with early draft picks this year after trading back with the Jets, and Nelson is considered the top offensive lineman on the board. Indy has desperately needed to address the offensive line and protect Andrew Luck better for several years.

James could reunite with former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston, helping address a Tampa back end that had its share of issues last season. He rebounded last season after missing almost all of 2016.

Chicago headed into the offseason with a desperate need for receivers and addressed it by adding Allen Robinson and Trey Burton. Adding defensive depth is next on the agenda, and Ward is clearly the top cornerback available.

Showing the versatility to play either cornerback or safety, Fitzpatrick could start opposite Richard Sherman or replace Eric Reid at safety. He's a solid fit for San Francisco if he drops to No. 9.

It's been a relatively quiet offseason for Jon Gruden's squad on defense, but that side of the ball needs to be addressed following last season, particularly at linebacker. Even if the Raiders decide to bring back NaVorro Bowman, Smith is a good fit as a run stuffer between Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin.

Cameron Wake is approaching his late 30s, and Robert Quinn has struggled to stay healthy recently, so developing another edge pass rusher should be high on Miami's list. The team has been rumored to be looking at a quarterback, as well, but that could be difficult if the Dolphins don't move up. Edmunds is a capable pass rusher who has also shown ability as an inside backer.

Buffalo moved up nine spots, so it would be fitting if the Bills take a quarterback. They brought in A.J. McCarron on a short-term deal and still have Nathan Peterman, but neither quarterback is a surefire starter in the long term. The accurate Mayfield is likely the most NFL-ready of the first-round group.

After trading Kendall Fuller in the Alex Smith deal, Washington signed former Cowboy Orlando Scandrick. That shouldn't stop the team from taking a cornerback prospect, and Jackson is nice insurance for both Scandrick and 2017 third-rounder Fabian Moreau.

Green Bay went heavy at defensive back in last year's draft but still allowed the 10th most passing yards in football. The Packers brought back 35-year-old Tramon Williams to join young Kevin King, but a younger insurance policy is needed. Hughes can also help in the return game.

Jackson has been resistant to run the 40 as he approaches the draft, and the buzz surrounding his draft status has been growing. The former Heisman Trophy winner probably needs some time to develop as an NFL passer, but he already has Michael Vick-like athleticism. The fit in Arizona is good behind the oft-injured Sam Bradford.

Not many teams have a bigger need at wideout, even after signing Michael Crabtree and John Brown this offseason. Ridley's stats fell off at Alabama late in his career in an offense that was more run-heavy, but he profiles as a No. 1 wideout.

The Chargers have all the pass rush they need, but they allowed the second most rushing yards in the league last season, along with a league-worst 4.9 yards per carry. Vea addresses an immediate and dire need.

Seattle's roster is in a state of transition and in the process of getting younger on defense. The athletic Payne has skills similar to the departed Sheldon Richardson and would be able to have a big role immediately.

Dallas is in need of a replacement for Anthony Hitchens, who fled to Kansas City in free agency. The run defense also suffered last season when Sean Lee was hurt, and he's headed into his age 32 season. Evans had 74 tackles and six sacks in 12 games this past season.

Detroit has struggled to find an answer at running back, as Ameer Abdullah's lack of development has been a massive disappointment. Guice averaged only 5.3 yards per carry as the primary ball carrier in his junior season — his third straight year declining in that department — but he's still an outstanding prospect after rushing for more than 2,600 yards combined over the last two seasons. The team signed LeGarrette Blount, but he's more likely to serve as a short-yardage back.

Yet another suspension for Vontaze Burfict, this time for PEDs, should put his future with the organization in doubt. If the Bengals have reached their end point with Burfict, Vander Esch is a very capable replacement, finishing with 141 tackles and four sacks last season.

The Bills traded Cordy Glenn and will need to fill one of their tackle spots. McGlinchey is the best tackle on the board and could fill in immediately.

After trading Brandin Cooks to acquire this pick, the Pats are in need of a No. 1 wideout. There's speculation they'll package this pick and their other first rounder for Odell Beckham Jr., but if not, Kirk can be the No. 1 receiver the team craves.

Carolina has had a busy offseason on their defensive line, bringing back Julius Peppers and signing Dontari Poe at defensive tackle. Peppers can still rush the passer, but at age 38, he's preferable as a situational pass rusher. Davenport would have the opportunity to share some of the workload and learn from one of the greats if the Panthers go this route.

Hubbard was sometimes overshadowed on Ohio State's incredible defensive line last season, but he still managed seven sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. Tennessee recorded 43 sacks last season, tied for fifth best, but key pass rusher Brian Orakpo will be 32 by the start of the season.

After allowing Dontari Poe to walk in free agency, the Falcons have a need at defensive tackle again. Bryan is coming off a breakout season at Florida, finishing 2017 with 37 tackles and four sacks.

New Orleans has had trouble finding much production at tight end recently, as Coby Fleener has been a huge free agent bust. Goedert might not have great blocking ability, but he has a chance to be the pass catcher that the team has missed since Jimmy Graham was traded.

The loss of Ryan Shazier has left a huge void at linebacker for the Steelers and is almost certainly a spot that the team will address in the draft. Carter finished last season with 62 tackles and 4.5 sacks for the Bulldogs.

The Jaguars lost both Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns this offseason, with their only notable addition being Donte Moncrief. While the team proved it could win without a No. 1 wideout last season, the productive Washington would give the Jags another dimension as a major deep threat.

Price suffered a pectoral injury at the combine but should be fine for the regular season. Arguably the top center on the board, Price can also play guard and should be a plug-and-play this season.

The loss of Nate Solder leaves a gaping hole at tackle for the Pats. The Patriots won't panic, but Miller would be able to address the opening this season.

There aren't many tight ends better than Zach Ertz in the league, but the Eagles lost their tight end depth with Trey Burton leaving in free agency and Brent Celek getting cut. The organization has continuously shown that getting weapons for Carson Wentz is its highest priority, and Hurst would add yet another.

Joe Thomas retired this offseason, leaving a huge void at tackle for the Browns. Williams could go in the first round and would be a nice value if he drops to the second round.

Would the Giants go through with a trade of Odell Beckham Jr.? Even if they don't, they have to think about the No. 2 spot with Brandon Marshall's future with the team very much in question. Moore is coming off a huge junior season at Maryland, finishing with 80 receptions for 1,033 yards and eight touchdowns.

Cleveland has some scary pass-rushing pieces with Myles Garrett, Emmanuel Ogbah and Jamie Collins. Landry is likely to fall after a lackluster senior season, but he had 16.5 sacks in 2016 for BC and could be yet another nice piece.

Indy took Marlon Mack last year, but there are questions about his ability to be a bell cow back in the NFL. The speedy Michel averaged 6.1 yards per carry during his career at Georgia and could make quite the one-two punch next to Mack.

The Colts will almost certainly take a cornerback early in the draft, looking to pair someone with Quincy Wilson. Alexander missed much of his junior season at Louisville with hand and leg injuries, but he had five picks for the Cardinals in 2016.

Peyton Barber and Jacquizz Rodgers are the only notable running backs on Tampa Bay's roster, so the Bucs are in dire need of another option. Jones had more than 3,600 rushing yards in three seasons at USC, most recently rushing for 1,550 and 19 touchdowns in 2017. He would add a jolt to the Bucs' offense immediately.

The Bears have a major need at left guard, and Hernandez is arguably the second best option at guard in the draft after a solid combine showing.

Chubb had an unbelievable four-year career at Georgia, rushing for more than 4,700 yards and averaging 6.3 yards per carry. His knee injury from 2015 is well behind him, and he could be a younger version of C.J. Anderson as a downhill runner for the Broncos.

The Raiders lost both of their starting corners from last year's squad. Gareon Conley is set to fill one spot, but the position remains a need at the moment. The athletic Oliver also spent some time as a punt returner.

Replacing Ndamukong Suh won't be easy, but there are plenty of players capable of helping the Dolphins on the interior in this year's draft. Hurst had a total of 10.5 sacks over the last two seasons for the Wolverines.

Malcolm Butler is gone, and the Pats could use more depth at corner, even after acquiring Jason McCourty via trade. Stewart was a highly productive player at North Carolina, though he didn't have a pickoff in either of the last two seasons.

Washington allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL last season and was throttled for 4.5 yards per carry. Nwosu emerged as a major pass rusher for the Trojans last season with 9.5 sacks but also piled up 75 tackles as a capable run stopper.

The Packers found a big-time red zone weapon in Jimmy Graham this offseason, effectively replacing Jordy Nelson, but there's still a need at wide receiver given Randall Cobb's inconsistency over the last two seasons. Sutton was a huge red zone weapon at SMU, standing at 6-4. He had 31 receiving touchdowns over the last three seasons and would make for a nightmare next to Graham.

Cincinnati's offensive line was its Achilles heel last season. The Bengals already addressed left tackle with Cordy Glenn but could use some help at center with Daniels.

Arizona is comfortable with Budda Baker at strong safety but needs another safety to add to the competition. Reid helped his draft stock with a great junior season, finishing with 94 tackles and five interceptions at Stanford last year.

Jason Verrett has barely played in three of the last four seasons, leaving the Chargers in a pinch. The team has reason to like Casey Hayward and Desmond King, but the Chargers could use additional depth like Jackson.

Indy had the second lowest sack total in the league last season and will almost certainly take a pass rusher with one of its many early picks. Green had 10 sacks for the Trojans last season.

Dallas is in the market for a starter next to Byron Jones. Harrison could go as high as the first round after two consecutive great years at Alabama, most recently finishing with 74 tackles and three interceptions in 2017.

Looking for a sidekick for Jarrad Davis, Jefferson has a chance to be a solid run stopper in the NFL. Detroit ranked in the bottom half of the league stopping the run last season.

Crosby didn't have a great combine but is still a strong second-day tackle. The Ravens struggled on the line last season and should be in the market for the position.

With Kyle Williams going on age 35, the Bills would be smart to find a long-term replacement. Phillips has shown an ability to rush the passer at Stanford with a total of 14.5 sacks over the last two seasons.

The Chiefs haven't addressed their pass rush after cutting Tamba Hali this offseason. Key had a poor junior season but was considered a first-round talent coming into the year.

The brother of Tremaine Edmunds, Terrell had 61 tackles and two picks for the Hokies last season. He would start immediately at safety for the Panthers.

Buffalo had just 27 sacks last season, tied for third worst in the NFL. Okoronkwo proved to be a capable pass rusher at Oklahoma over the last two years with a total of 17 sacks.

Hill got four years of experience on the field at NC State, totaling 183 tackles and eight sacks for his career. The Titans could be in the market for some defensive line help next to star Jurrell Casey.

LSU didn't get Chark the ball enough, though that hasn't been out of the ordinary recently for the Tigers. He still proved an explosive deep threat, averaging 21.9 yards per reception last season with his 6-4 frame. He would have time to develop behind Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu in Atlanta.

The 49ers brought in Weston Richburg on a long-term deal but could still use more line depth. Corbett has the versatility to play either guard or center.

Jesse James has done a fine job as Pittsburgh's starting tight end since Heath Miller's retirement, but it's clear the Steelers would jump at the chance to improve the position. Andrews had 22 touchdowns in three seasons at Oklahoma and finished last season with 62 receptions for 958 yards. He has much more upside as a receiver.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins provides some upside for the Jags at tight end but has been an inconsistent player during his NFL career. Gesicki was a great target in the red zone for Penn State last season with nine touchdowns, and that feature could be a priority for the Jags after losing Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns.

Unfortunately, 2016 first-round pick Laquon Treadwell is looking like a huge bust two years into his pro career with only 21 receptions since getting drafted. The Vikings lack depth at wideout behind Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, and St. Brown is a potentially enticing deep threat at 6-5 with sub-4.5 speed.

Griffin is an incredible story and was a brilliant playmaker at UCF over the last two seasons. With Dont'a Hightower's struggles to stay healthy, the Patriots could use more depth at linebacker. Griffin likely vaulted himself into the second day of the draft with an excellent combine showing.

After trading Danny Shelton, the Browns could use some help at defensive tackle. Settle is a load at 330 pounds and finished with 36 tackles and four sacks in 12 games last season.
