53. Philadelphia Eagles (via Baltimore Ravens): Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington

Offensive tackle isn’t a weakness for the Eagles, but they do have some age there as Jason Peters recently turned 37 years old. Kaleb McGary comes in as a backup who can eventually take over one of the starting spots for them.

54. Houston Texans (via Seattle Seahawks): Andy Isabella, WR, UMass

Yes, the Houston Texans have DeAndre Hopkins. Keke Coutee, and Will Fuller, but we all saw how injuries can affect a receiving corps. They have two picks here back-to-back, so they go for a luxury selection with Andy Isabella out of UMass. He’s a name that has turned a lot of heads with his solid route running and just makes a talented Houston offense that much better.

55. Houston Texans: Taylor Rapp, S, Washington

There are a couple of ways the Texans can go here, but they decide that landing a young safety like Taylor Rapp is their best bet. He should be a starter from day one and would help if they don’t re-sign Tyrann Mathieu, who came in on a one-year deal.

56. New England Patriots (via Chicago): T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa

The New England Patriots love tight ends and T.J. Hockenson fits them like a glove. He’s an excellent in-line blocker and can get deep when defenses sleep on him. He will provide Tom Brady a great option along with Rob Gronkowski and allows an easy transition when their All-Pro player does decide to call it a career.
