Pick 7 - Vikings

The Vikings already shored up their O-line via trades this offseason but it may still make sense for them to take an OT. They do also have a hole at HB and with Courtney Lewis aging (I think) that also remains a possibility. They could also look a little further down the board and take a CB in a position where they aren't that strong.

I wish I paid more attention to how the AI treats holes versus positions of weakness. I think they opt to take HB Giovanni Bernard rather than reach down for a CB.

Pick 8 - Bills

The Bills would actually benefit from Bernard dropping if he's still there given the age of their starting HB but alas I have the Vikings taking him 1 spot above. I know they also wanted an elite WR but with Hopkins off the board, I'm not sure they reach down for Marvin Jones. So with multiple holes at DE and an aging starter, I think they take DE Chandler Jones.

Pick 9 - Buccaneers

I don't think KCF has heard from Chris so this will likely be a KCF pick so I'd like to think KCF will get them a starter and likely at a hole. The OT's on the board are good value but not a hole. The Buc's have 3 holes at CB and a hole at MLB with any person drafted very likely to instantly become their best available option at the position. The tricky part is I have no idea which is further down the board, the nearest MLB or the nearest CB. Given there's 3 CB's I'm inclined to think it will be a CB rather than MLB but KCF could also play it by numbers in a deep CB draft and opt to draft those in later rounds knowing a late round MLB might not be there.

This is a dilemma. Despite the CB likely being higher, I'm going to say he takes MLB Alec Ogletree with the view to taking CB's in like the 2nd and 3rd (although CB > CB > MLB is also possible)

Pick 10 - Dolphins

Originally I had the 49ers taking a WR here before being informed I hadn't taken into account traded picks. So with the Dolphins owning this pick and them having a hole at OT plus expecting departures in RFA next year I think they take the chance to restock at OT with the falling pick of OT Taylor Lewan

Pick 11 - Panthers

Originally I had the Patriots taking an OLB here and despite what was said in chat, I still think the Panthers take that same guy even if it's a little bit of a reach. The alternative would be a WR but that is also possibly the same reach. OLB Hau'oli Kikaha. I know Emerald has mentioned wanting a WR so it's also possible he takes Marvin Jones here.

Pick 12 - Hawks

At some point someone has to take an OT and without knowing how old the Hawks OT's are, I'm not sure they are that team. However, the only other possibility I see for them is CB or QB and they have a ton of CB's on the roster. I'd guess Rivers is aging so we'll go with QB A.J. McCarron without any confidence whatsoever.
