AFC South

Houston Texans: Nico Siragusa, OG – San Diego State

After making a splash to trade up for Deshaun Watson, the Texans have still done a nice job to get player in positions of need that should contribute right away. They should do that again in the interest of helping two incoming rookies in Watson and running back D’Onta Foreman. Nico Siragusa has the chops to slot in at guard right away. That would be ideal if he’s there for them as they need an upgrade on the interior.

Indianapolis Colts: Any Offensive Guard Or Tackle

Protect Andrew Luck. Please, please protect Andrew Luck. The defense has improved a great deal in this draft, but the quarterback is the team’s greatest asset. It’s time to invest in keeping him healthy beyond just Ryan Kelly.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Dorian Johnson, OG – Pittsburgh

Taking Cam Robinson in the second round was exactly what the Jaguars should be doing, giving Leonard Fournette a road-grading tackle and a player with upside to keep Blake Bortles upright. They need more than one upgrade on their line, though, and could make it early in the fourth. Johnson is the best guard on the board by a wide margin, a second-round player to many. He’d be great value and help the offense further.

Tennessee Titans: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB – Tennessee

I’ve championed teams to take Jalen Reeves-Maybin throughout the draft process. Injuries have killed his draft stock to laughable degrees. However, he’s healthy and has tremendous versatility at linebacker, able to do anything you ask of him with effectiveness. The Titans could use that playmaker in the middle of the defense and could see him fall to them in the fifth round.
