Nov 29, 2014; Louisville, KY, USA; Louisville Cardinals wide receiver DeVante Parker (9) runs the ball against the Kentucky Wildcats during the second half at Papa John

9. player. 60. Teddy Bridgewater continues to improve while Cordarrelle Patterson continues to ride pine. Charles Johnson has looked promising, but Greg Jennings isn’t getting any younger and adding the 6’3 Parker could give Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner the downfield threat he thought he was getting in Patterson. The Vikings quietly had a very good year on defense and while they could probably use a few upgrades on the line and will need to address the running back position finding an impact receiver to pair with Johnson could put Minnesota right back in the playoff mix in 2015 if Bridgewater continues to develop.. WR. Louisville. DeVante Parker

31. When it comes to the Giants the safest bets are offensive or defensive lineman, but I’m going to take a gamble here. McKinney has shown the type of leadership for Mississippi State that teams like the Giants covet and his ability to stop the run as well as drop back in coverage make him exactly what the Giants need with the oft injured Jon Beason as the best linebacker currently on the roster. . ILB/OLB. Mississippi State. Benardrick McKinney. 10. player

15. Ray could well be off the board by this point, but if he does drop to New Orleans he’s too good to pass up. The Missouri product really came into his own with Kony Ealy and Michael Sam out of the picture and has shown the burst and agility to make an immediate impact as a speed rusher off the edge for New Orleans. The Saints should also be looking to take a cornerback to start opposite Keenan Lewis, and if Ray ends up going early Michigan State’s Trae Waynes would be a name to keep an eye on.  . OLB. Missouri. Shane Ray. 11. player

51. The offensive line is in pretty good shape, and the Rams stood pat with their receivers through a stronger draft class, so unless Cooper or Parker falls I wouldn’t expect them to go that route. Instead the Rams grab Waynes to replace Cortland Finnegan who departed for Miami at the end of the 2013 season. Waynes fits the profile as a big physical corner who should pair nicely with Janoris Jenkins and continue the pattern of defensive domination in St. Louis.. CB. Michigan State. Trae Waynes. 12. player
