Have at it!
*What I think will happen...not what I would necessarily pick for each team
33 GB (f/CLE)
Dalvin Cook RB/Florda State
Green Bay gets their target even after trading down from #29 and Cook gets a shot at starting week 1 in a scheme that fits him perfectly.
34 SEA (f/SF)
Cam Robinson OT/Alabama
A team in desperate need of OL help gets a guy that was projected to be a top 10 pick up until a few months ago. High upside player that could start at RT week 1.
35 JAC
Dion Dawkins OG/Temple
The run on offensive linemen continues, with Dawkins coming in looking to earn a starting job week one. He can compete for a starting spot at both guard and tackle.
36 CHI
Chris Wormley DE/Michigan
An upgrade in the trenches for a team looking for a starter and/or third defensive end to throw into the think rotation. Wormley is a freakish athlete with pro-ready technique and presnce.
37 LAR
Forrest Lamp OG/Western Kentucky
Todd Gurley is smiling heading in to day 2, as some of the drafts top OL are still there. Lamp can upgrade the interior right away and all of the sudden this unit could appear to be a strength.
38 LAC
Quincy Wilson CB/Florida
With their top target Mike Williams in the picture, its time this franchise puts their resources on the side of the ball that needs the most help. Quincy Wilson is a tools-rich cover man that can add size and physicality to the secondary.
39 NYJ
Zay Jones WR/East Carolina
Pro genes and an almost perfect combination of tools and skills for a team that has been nearly depleted on offense. Jones immediately becomes the #2 receiver on this team.
40 CAR
Obi Melifonwu S/Connecticut
Tools-rich safety that fits in to what Ron Rivera and Dave Gettleman look for in a safety. The upside with this pick is through the roof.
41 CIN
Tyus Bowser LB/Houston
A front seven defender that can be used countless ways for a team that needs to reload that part of their defense. Speed, upside, and versatility.
42 NO
Jordan Willis DE/Kansas State
The Saints are looking not only for depth at DE, but a week 1 starter opposite the reliable veteran Cameron Jordan. Willis offers pro ready traits across the board.
43 PHI
Kevin King CB/Washington
Excellent package of tools, skills, and upside I think he has a legit shot at being the top CB in this class. Nice fit for a team that is borderline desperate for one.
44 BUF
Budda Baker S/Washington
The rebuild of the Bill secondary takes another step with a versatile, aggressive DB with more talent than most think.
45 ARI
Desmond King CB/Iowa
Whether they play him at safety or CB doesnt matter, as he could play both and ARI is deprived of young talent back there.
46 IND
Isaac Asiata OG/Utah
Have to keep Luck upright and healthy if they want to get even near their top end potential, something they have done poorly in recent years.
47 BAL
JuJu Smith Schuster WR/USC
Physical pass catcher that could start week 1 considering what Joe Flacco has to work with.
48 MIN
Marcus Maye S/Florida
Pairing him with Harrison Smith will get the most out of this talented secondary
49 WAS
Deshone Kizer QB/Notre Dame
Whether or not the team is confident Cousins is there to stay long term, this present a nice value and a good player for Gruden to try and groom.
50 TB
Taylor Moton OT/Michigan
A possible move inside for this mauler but no matter what, Jameis Winston needs to spend less time running for his life.
51 DEN
Dalvin Tomlinson DT/Alabama
Overlooked player on te best defense in college football, Tomlinson is a guy that can play all along the Denver 3-4 front right away, a spot they are weak at currently.
52 CLE (f/TEN)
Chidobe Awuzie CB/Colorado
Continue to add talent to a secondary that has just been plain awful for years.
53 DET
Cooper Kupp WR/Eastern Washington
Stafford could really use a slot presence for his offense, someone that can get consistently open and catch the ball underneath. That is Kupp in a nutshell.
54 MIA
Jourdan Lewis CB/Michigan
Perfect fit for a team that needs to find someone that can cover the quick NE slot receivers. Lewis is ball productive and incredibly instinctive.
55 NYG
Demarcus Walker DE/Florida State
Has the size, power, and quickness to fit in to multiple roles depending on the situation. Very few defensive minds are as good as Spags when it comes to using a guy like this.
56 OAK
Malik McDowell DT/Michigan State
The more presence this team gets up front, the more effective Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack will be.
57 HOU
Pat Elflein C/Ohio State
The offensive line was very unstable last year and with an offense that is very much dependent on ball control with potentially a rookie QB, the OL needs to be top notch.
58 SEA
Ahkello Witherspoon CB/Colorado
This kid has SEA corner written all over him and the team is thinner there than theyve been un quite some time.
59- KC
Ardarius Stewart WR/Alabama
Exciting after the catch, very explosive athlete fits in well with this passing game.
60 DAL
Fabian Moreau CB/UCLA
High end athlete with a ceiling higher than most and Dallas needs to keep filling these defensive holes.
61 GB
Dan Feeney OG/Indiana
Potential week one starter fits the bill with what GB wants along their offensive line, athletic and reliable.
62 PIT
Justin Evans S/Texas A& M
Fiery, aggressive, fast safety that fits the Steeler way
63 ATL
Bucky Hodges TE/Virginia Tech
ATL has been all about adding speed and big play ability to both sides of the ball and Hodges, despite not being a blocking TE, gives a good offense yet another option.
64 CAR (f/NE)
Tanoh Kpassagnon DE/Villanova
A Gettleman type DE goes to a team that is overly dependent on very old, almost-done pass rushers outside.
65 CLE
Davis Webb QB/California
Add another piece to the QB competition puzzle that CLE needs to iron out before next years draft. CLE coached him at the Senior Bowl and walked away impressed.
66 SF
Joe Mixon RB/Oklahoma
One of the bigger stories for tonight is where Mixon and his PR nightmare lands. SF has had him high enough on their board to warrant a 2nd round selection. Worth the risk at this point considering they have back to back picks.
67 SF (f/CHI)
Josh Jones S/NC State
Top tier athletic package to protect themselves against possibly losing Eric Reid to FA next year. If not, what a dup this could be.
68 JAC
Raekwon McMillan LB/Ohio State
Excellent thumper inside to add some more stability to a level of the defense that has been shaky and lacks talent.
69 LAR
Derek Rivers OLB/Youngstown State
Underrated but enormously talented edge presence that appears to be made for the 3-4 OLB role, the new scheme in LA.
70 NYJ
Ethan Pocic OC/LSU
Arguably the most versatile blocker in the class, Pocic could start at center week one or even slide out to right tackle.
71 LAC
Alvin Kamara RB/Tennessee
Melvin Gordon can shoulder the entire load himself and Kamara presents the kind of change of pace that could thrive in a wide open offense like this.
72 NE (f/CAR)
Will Holden OT/Vanderbilt
There is some instability on the right side and the versatile Holden does have the ability to start early. Very accomplished, overlooked SEC blocker.
73 CIN
Montravious Adams DT/Auburn
A nice complement to Geno Atkins, Adams showed flashes of run/pass dominance in 2016.
74 BAL (f/PHI)
Ryan Anderson OLB/Alabama
Another edge presence that has a style of play that mirrors the current level of Terrell Suggs. Powerful, nasty, alpha male.
75 BUF
Dede Westbrook WR/Oklahoma
A WR with the skill set that is meant for the slot goes to a team that lacked production from that spot big time in 2016.
76 NO
Curtis Samuel RB/Ohio State
Sean Payton will know what to do and how to use this swiss army knife type player
77 ARI
Amara Darboh WR/Michigan
Bruce Arians loves his WRs big and fast and Darboh fits the bill, a pass catcher with big upside
78 BAL
Isaac Rochell DT/Notre Dame
Heavy handed, versatile, hard nosed. Fits the Bal defense like a glove.
79 MIN
Dorian Johnson OG/Pittsburgh
MIN has to wait a little longer than ideal to find the right value for their OL fix, but Johnson could start right away.
80 IND
Tim Williams OLB/Alabama
Pure speed rusher for the scheme that needs much as help in that department as any in the league.
81 WAS
Anthony Walker LB/Northwestern
Another stout presence for the front seven that has been rebuilt since the end of their disappointing season.
82 DEN
Taywan Taylor WR/Western Kentucky
Speedy, explosive, big play guy that needs to sit and watch for a year but has enormous upside, good situation for him.
83 TEN
Sidney Jones CB/Washington
May not help in year one, but getting a guy this good in round 3, even if its for 2018, is well worth the sacrifice.
84 TB
Tarrell Basham DE/Ohio
High upside edge guy that already has the technique and violence and in a pass rush-only role, could really thrive.
85 DET
Donta Foreman RB/Texas
Big fast and physical bruiser to offset some of the issues theyve had in the DET backfield. Could be the top guy by end of 2017.
86 MIN (f/MIA)
Adam Bisnowaty OT/Pittsburgh
Might as well double on the OL in round 3 because this group was that bad in 2017. Bisnowaty brings the needed versatility.
87 - NYG
Conor McDermott OT/UCLA
If you are looking for a potential starting OT over the next 2 years, you have to go McDermott here because the pickings get way too thin from here on out.
88 OAK
Zach Cunningham LB/Vanderbilt
OAK continues to stock their defense with young, athletic talent with big upside.
89 HOU
Roderick Johnson OT/Florida State
The offensive line didnt play poorlu, but their long term future outside is shaky at best, not a situation you want to be dealing with as Watson comes in to the picture.
90 SEA
Daeshon Hall DE/Texas A& M
Adding another edge presence to a group that is more than fine as is, but the depth is always needed.
91 BUF (f/KC)
Carlos Watkins DT/Clemson
Underwhelming depth and a questionable Dareus makes this an urgent need for Buffalo, a team that used to be a powerhouse at this spot.
92 DAL
Duke Riley LB/LSU
Might as well draft some insurance should Jaylon Smith struggle to bounce back to form and the speedy Riley is a nice backup plan.
93 GB
Ben Boulware LB/Clemson
Talk about the lack of measurables all you want, LBs with instincts like this will always find a way to produce and he can be protected in a 3-4.
94 PIT
Marlon Mack RB/South Florida
Explosive straight line athlete that has a way of finding angles and creases to take advantage of a defense. Great complement to Bell.
95 SEA (f/ATL)
Josh Dobbs QB/Tennessee
Time to get a real, responsible QB to sit behind Wilson and provide the depth needed for a mobile QB.
96 NE
Jaylen Myrick CB/Minnesota
They lose Logan Ryan, one of the top slot CBs in the NFL, and bring in one of the most productive CBs college football has seen since 2015.
97 MIA
Larry Ogunjobi DT/Charlotte
A nice depth option and able pas rusher to spell the massive Jordan Phillips when he tires on 3rd and long.
98 CAR
Tanzel Smart DT/Tulane
Explosive gap rusher with enough ability get on the field right away.
99 PHI (f/BAL)
Chad Hansen WR/California
This WR corps needs more sure handed pass catchers that will compete for the ball, and that is Hansen in a nutshell.
100 TEN (f/LAR)
Ryan Glasgow DT/Michigan
Stock that defense to make up for such a poor showing in 2016, Glasgow is a gamer that will be reliable day one.
101 DEN
JJ Dielman OC/Utah
Versatile blocker with inside/out experience, getting a nice value at this point for a guy that could start year one.
102 SEA
Delano Hill S/Michigan
Seems like a SEA type safety considering the speed, range, and physical play.
And why can't we have a really fast LB?
I love Kizer, but I don't believe that for one second. They're trying to get someone to trade into that spot.
Quote:
Fwiw (not much), rumor has it that Kizer will be in play for GB at 33

That's my guess. If Green Bay stays put, I think they go with Kevin King.
With Dawkins, Asiata, and Wormley gone this would be good. Would prefer one of the true DTs in the 2nd. Would Montravious Adams be a decent value over Walker?

You are probably spot on
Regardless, if today's draft goes anything like yesterday - virtually anything can happen and who knows who could fall in our lap
In your scenario, for Giants, then, I see McDowell as an unusually large DE rather than a DT, and believe that we might also take a big nose DT lower down, so I would be tempted to take McDowell, who all agree has round 1 upside, ...if the draft went the way you suggest.
But, again, why taking OG in 1 makes sense, you just proved it possibly, as the tier one OGs are gone by our second spot in your mock, as has been the case in many recent years.

Dave called Anderson his gold slipper in round 3.
Thanks.
Thanks SY for all you do.
