25. Las Vegas Raiders: Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia

There’s a lot going on with the Las Vegas Raiders right now but they have done a good job of not letting the off-field problems ruin their football season. They can continue to come together and build upon their success and then re-load their toolbox in the upcoming draft.

Here, they look to do this with the selection of Jordan Davis from Georgia. Listed at 6-foot-6 and 345-pounds, Davis is the size of a nose tackle but he can penetrate the way a three-technique can. His versatility will be huge for the Raiders who look to beef up their line even further with this selection.

26. Buffalo Bills: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

The Buffalo Bills offense has several playmakers and while it would make sense to bolster the running back room here, they seem content working with a committee approach. That turns their attention to the defensive side of the ball, where they target Ahmad Gardner from Cincinnati.

Gardner is blessed with great height at 6-foot-2 and understands what receivers are trying to do against him. He has 78 career tackles and eight interceptions as well as another 14 passes defensed.

Adding him opposite Tre’Davious White should help Buffalo slow down opposing aerial attacks as they look to continue to lead the way in the AFC East.
