50. Shaq Thompson is an incredible all-around talent. While he is best known for his blitzing ability, he’s versatile enough to drop back into coverage and play multiple spots in the linebacker corps. Detroit has an exceptional front-four, so the addition of Thompson to the linebacking corps will elevate this team to another level defensively.. Outside linebacker. Washington. Shaq Thompson. 25. player

26. player. 46. Alvin Dupree played for a very poor Kentucky team, so he didn’t always receive the recognition that he was deserving of. Make no mistake though, this is a very talented player. Sacks are what you look for from a defensive end, but he was often double-teamed, so it’s unfair to judge him solely on statistics. The addition of Dupree, along with the return of Robert Mathis will provide the Colts with a huge spark defensively.. Outside linebacker. Kentucky. Alvin Dupree

Cornerback. Oregon. Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. 27. player. 54. Oregon’s defense certainly isn’t what they are known for, but players like Ekpre-Olomu have made them relevant.

Chip Kelly loves his Oregon players, and Ekpre-Olomu will have an immediately impact in an Eagles secondary that is very weak, with the exception of Malcolm Jenkins.

player. 36. He’s a very powerful receiver, who can help in the blocking game as well. His best asset though is his elite leaping ability, so any team that gets him would benefit right away, particularly in red zone situations. The addition of Coates will provide Russell Wilson with another target down field. He can immediately give the Seahawks a number 1 receiver on a team that lacks passing firepower.. Wide receiver. Auburn. Sammy Coates. 28
