17. Cincinnati Bengals (from Oakland)
. Alfonzo Dennard
. Cornerback, Nebraska

18. San Diego Chargers
. Michael Floyd, Wide Receiver, Notre Dame
. Rivers needs more guys to throw to. Antonio Gates seems to be injured all the time, and Vincent Jackson just hasn’t been himself lately.

19. Chicago Bears
. Dont’a Hightower, Linebacker, Alabama
. Chicago needs to start planning on guys to step in after Brian Urlacher retires. With Kuechly already taken, Hightower is the next best choice.

20. Tennessee Titans
. Nick Perry
. Defensive End, USC

21. Cincinnati Bengals
. Courtney Upshaw
. Linebacker, Alabama

22. Cleveland Browns (from Atlanta)
. Dwayne Allen
. Tight End, Clemson

23. Detroit Lions
. Alshon Jeffery
. Wide Receiver, South Carolina

24. Pittsburgh Steelers
. Jerel Worthy
. Defensive Tackle, Michigan State

25. Denver Broncos
. LaMichael James
. Running Back, Oregon

26. Houston Texans
. Fletcher Cox
. Defensive Tackle, Mississippi State

27. New England Patriots (from New Orleans)
. Dre Kirkpatrick, Cornerback, Alabama
. Bill Belichick is known for taking risks, and I think that is what Dre is. It might not work out, or it might really improve the Patriot’s horrible defense.

28. Green Bay Packers
. Cordy Glenn
. Offensive Lineman, Georgia

29. Baltimore Ravens
. Orson Charles
. Tight End, Georgia

30. San Francisco 49ers
. Michael Brockers
. Defensive Tackle, LSU

31. New York Giants
. David Wilson
. Running Back, Virginia Tech

32. New England Patriots
. Stephon Gilmore, Cornerback, South Carolina
. Alright… Crazy, right? Drafting two corners in the first round might sound insane. But that’s how bad New England’s defense is. This pick or the Pat’s other first round pick will probably be traded, but if not… Don’t be too surprised by two corners.
