56. The Bengals opt to bolster their pass rush with the former Spartan Calhoun. Calhoun could make an immediate impact in the pass rush rotation for the Bengals and bolster what is already a strong unit. The Bengals don’t have many holes when everyone is healthy, and you can never have too many quality pass rushers. . DE. Michigan State. Shilique Calhoun. 25. player

50. I know it’s not very original, but if Suh leaves Detroit via free agency as expected, and Goldman falls into the Lions laps as he does in this mock, it would be hard to pass. Florida State has churned out a bunch of pro talent and Goldman has really come into his own in 2014 season. He’d have big shoes to fill in Detriot, but playing on a talent rich team that’s still viewed as an underdog would be nothing new for the (soon to be) former Seminole.. DT. Florida State. Eddie Goldman. 26. player

27. player. 123. There are a lot of needs on the defensive side of the ball, but Gordon is the best player available and he’ll make things a lot less complicated in Dallas. Dez Bryant needs to get paid, which means DeMarco Murray probably can’t get the contract he wants. Gordon already has experience as a work horse back, and while he’d probably be spelled on 3rd downs by Lance Dunbar until his pass protection improves; Dallas can continue to pound the ball and control the clock and the NFC East (they hope.). RB. Wisconsin. Melvin Gordon

UCLA. Eric Kendricks. 28. player. 49. Kendricks became UCLA’s career tackles leader following a strong 2014 campaign where he racked up 139 total tackles. Kendricks has impressive range, as his tackle record would suggest, and plays well against both the run and pass. He’s not particularly big (6’0, 230lbs.) But scouts believe he could start right away, which means the Packers will no longer have to flex Clay Matthews inside to slow down opponents running games.. ILB
