UCLA. Anthony Barr. 17. player. 26. <strong><a href=. Linebacker

Clemson. Bashaud Breeland. 18. player. 30. During last offseason, the then general manager of the Jets, Jon Idzik, did virtually nothing to improve the team’s cornerback position. Unless you consider <strong><a href=. Cornerback

player. 59. Despite the flack they received, Miami got it right by picking James and getting <strong><a href=. Offensive tackle. Tennessee. Ju'Wuan James. 19

Cooks was having a great rookie campaign before being placed on season-ending injured reserve, which seems to be a reoccurring theme on this list. Cooks’ explosiveness and speed made him a great replacement for <strong><a href=. Wide receiver. Oregon State. Brandin Cooks. 20. player. 15

49. Same player, different round. If you want to know how good <strong><a href=. Wide receiver. Fresno State. Davante Adams. 21. player

53. If we’re being honest, <strong><a href=. Cornerback. Virginia Tech. Kyle Fuller. 22. player

player. 124. Let’s look at the checklist for success: reliable quarterback? Check. Strong run game? Check. Stingy defense? Check. Legitimate wide receiver? Uh, pass. The Chiefs were painfully thin at wide receiver this year, which was displayed when they had <em>no </em>receiver score a touchdown. Although possessing inconsistent catching ability – Benjamin led the league in drops with 10 – he would be a huge improvement over the current Chiefs receivers. . Wide receiver. Florida State. Kelvin Benjamin. 23

56. Dennard was alright in his rookie year. He didn’t make any incredibly athletic interceptions, though he never really routinely got beat in coverage. Overall, this pick was a solid one for the Who Dey Nation. . Cornerback. Michigan State. Darqueze Dennard. 24. player
