Cornerback isnt the biggest need on the Giants roster but its a position in flux and they get incredible value here by selecting
Jayron Hosley
Virginia Tech has been a factory for defensive backs in the NFL. Hosley is fast with excellent instincts and hands. If he can develop his body more, he could be a top notch NFL corner. Stick him in the weight room for a year and watch him blossom.

The Colts need help virtually everywhere, so they can literally pick the best player available, and he will likely fill a need for them as well. They've already addressed QB and CB in rounds 1 and 2, now it is time to addresses the trenches. While Indy has always had a solid edge rush with Freeney and Mathis, they've never been able to generate a consistent push up the middle from the DT spot. It seems like they have been trying to fill this spot for years (bringing in guys like Corey Simon and Booger McFarland, etc.) to no avail. To kick off the 3rd round, the Colts will go after a guy they can't believe didn't get selected in the first two rounds of this draft.
The Indianapolis Colts select Clemson DT Brandon Thompson.

Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
The Rams have had a great draft so far, trading down with the Redskins for a TON of picks, still getting the weapon they so desperately needed for Sam Bradford in WR Justin Blackmon at #6 (when that's likely who they would have taken at #2 anyway), having a beast like DT Michael Brockers fall into their laps at the top of the second round, and then grabbing LB Lavonte David, whose talent matches their scheme nearly perfectly. The main thing that they have not addressed is o-line. Former #2 overall pick Jason Smith looks like a bust, but they may try to salvage him by moving him inside to guard (which worked in the past for guys like Leonard Davis and Robert Gallery). Meanwhile, Roger Saffold looks like he would be more comfortable at right tackle as opposed to being in charge of protecting Bradford's blind side. The Rams are looking for someone who could replace Smith at RT right away, and possibly swap sides with Saffold in the future.
The St. Louis Rams select Florida State OT Zebrie Sanders.

The Vikings filled major needs in the first two rounds with a franchise LT in Matt Kalil, and a major upgrade at safety in Harrison Smith (when Mistral Raymond and Jamarca Sanford...who?...are your projected starters at safety, that's the definition of a major need). Now, however, they need weapons on offense, because they are one Percy Harvin migraine headache away from having diddly poo at receiver (unless Michael Jenkins and Devin Aromashodu excite you...didn't think so). To pair with the quick and nifty 5'11" 184 lbs. Harvin, they'll go for a big bodied 6'4" 220 lbs. target for Christian Ponder.
The Minnesota Vikings select Appalachian State WR Brian Quick.

Squidkid PM'ed his 3rd round pick for Cleveland...they've already added a trio of players from offensive skill positions in RB Trent Richardson, WR Kendall Wright, and QB Brandon Weeden. Time to build up the defense now? Nope. Fortify that o-line. Wrong again. Considering how poor Cleveland's offensive weapons have been of late, they are adding yet another offensive weapon to their arsenal as they totally re-make their offensive identity in one draft, adding a big bodied target (6'3" 224 lbs.) to go with the shiftier Wright (5'10" 196 lbs.).
The Cleveland Browns select Arizona WR Juron Criner.

As much as Cleveland has remade their offense, Tampon Bay is revamping their defense which got shredded 10 games in a row to end the season last year. Having already pocketed Morris Claiborne and Zach Brown at CB and LB, they might as well take a crushing hitter at another defensive position of need...safety. Also from LSU...................
Brandon Taylor

The Redskins traded away a crapload of draft picks for the right to draft Robert Griffin III. Now they have to protect him. They have an early 1st round pick entrenched at LT in Trent Williams, and it seemed like the RT spot would be well-manned by veteran Jammal Brown. However, Brown has been dealing with lingering hip issues, so Washington needs an insurance policy at RT. One tackle prospect in particular seems to be rising up the board of late and now seems to be firmly entrenched in the late-second, early-third round area (which would make this pick just about right for him).
The Washington Redskins select Illinois OT Jeff Allen.

Jacksonville knows they need to support their new QBs. They almost did it early in round 2 by pulling the trigger on Juron Criner. Instead, they got them some protection up front with Zeitler and things worked out great as their other target at WR is now available in the 3rd.
A big guy to go with their small fast guy and their medium sized fast guy -
Marvin McNutt
6'3" 216 lb WR from Iowa
The Bills addressed weaknesses at OL and WR with Riley Reiff and Rueben Randle, respectively (that's a lot of R's). They addressed their pass rush needs in free agency, bringing in Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. Their next biggest need is at corner, where their two starters, Terrence McGee and Drayton Florence will both be turning 32 years old during this season. They drafted Aaron Williams a year ago, but could use another young corner (since it does not appear as though Leodis McKelvin will be a regular starter in this league).
The Buffalo Bills select Brandon Boykin (that's a lot of B's), CB from Georgia.

After acquiring two straight picks from the Miami Dolphins, the Chargers decide to go out to the West Coast for their picks. With the 72nd and 73rd overall picks, we will select Mitchell Schwartz, OT/OG, California and LaMichael James, RB, Oregon.
The right side of the offensive line is a major problem in San Diego. Schwartz should be able to provide an instant upgrade at either the right guard or right tackle spot. Then as for James, the Chargers missed that presence Darren Sproles provided for them. Not so much as a prime running back, but a speed back who was an outstanding pass catcher out of the backfield. This is exactly what LaMichael James will bring back to Philip Rivers and the offense.
