Pick 4 Wildcats - Over the last few seasons the Wildcats have rebuilt fairly well. In previous years they were weak at a lot of positions, particularly on defense, but that is no longer the case. I think in an ideal world they would like CB Xavier Rhodes to still be on the board, which he might be depending on what Jukkie does, but failing that Im not sure they make a reach down the board for the next CB up. Theoretically the Wildcats are a trade candidate to either trade up with Jukkie and get the CB or trade down and get a CB later. Failing that, Im not quite sure what they do here though, especially as they are low on cap room. I think if it were me and trades are out of the equation, then Id draft the best available DE to fill the hole and then look to trade or let the contract run down on Eugene Germany which means they take DE Khalil Mack.

Pick 5 Redskins - This one looks super simple and I dont want to overthink it. The Redskins only have 2 DEs on the roster, the second of which is 66 OVR. There are a ton of DEs on the board so they take the next DE up in Clowney

Pick 6 Jags - In an ideal world the Jags probably hoped that there was a high end FS here to fill in a glaring need but this years draft is horrible for FSes. The Jags still have a really good option though. Their highest rated OLB is coming towards the end of his career at 34 yo and his partner is also 33. Bringing in a high end replacement this year would mean they arent caught out. OLB Preston Smith fits the need.

Pick 7 + 8 Dolphins - The Dolphins have back to back picks here so whilst Ill outline each pick separately, is these end up jumbled I demand full credit! With 14 draft picks (with the next being 11), the Dolphins are going to be able to pick a lot of guys this year and KCF has already noted he will probably be riskier/reachier than usual. That being said, the Dolphins actually have holes where these picks would likely immediately slot in as starters. After losing yet another O-lineman to RFA, they have a starting berth available at OT (although they have 2 people who could potentially slot in too) so for Pick 7 OT Jack Conklin makes sense. The next start hole they have available is at WR2 and KCF cares little about reaching down the board to grab his guy (which may not even be a reach at this point). Im pencilling him in with the best available WR at Pick 8 with WR Beckham Jr but I wouldnt be surprised if he took a different WR due to their attributes as we all know KCF cares about fit.

Pick 9 Browns - There are actually a ton of options for the Browns here at 9 and I think they would really love it if they had multiple picks here. The Browns have what looks to be a fairly shaky defensive line. They have holes at DE, DT and OLB with a potentially questionable aging starter at DT and OLB and a basically non-existent starter at DE. Filling in any of those positions would help to improve their defense and theres options at all 3 on the board. Their biggest need looks to be DE so Im putting them as taking Olivier Vernon.

As a sidenote, if they didnt have those issues at defensive line I wonder just how happy they are with former superbowl winning QB Perrilloux. They have him tied down for 3 more years but he threw 26 INTs last season and speaking from experience that gives you serious questions about your QB. Im sure they would love to address that here but realistically it isnt an option.
