6. Indianapolis Colts: Will Levis, QB, Kentucky
The Indianapolis Colts need to make some major changes this offseason. It’s clear that Matt Ryan has nothing left in the tank, especially now that he’s being replaced by Nick Foles for the remainder of the year.
They also need to admit their mistake in hiring Jeff Saturday as their interim coach and make sure he doesn’t return next year. Sure, he somehow led them to a win over Las Vegas but since then his squad surrendered 33 points in an 11-minute stretch against Dallas and was on the wrong side of the largest comeback in NFL history.
In an effort to turn the page on a horrific year, they bring in Will Levis from Kentucky with the No. 7 overall pick. He won’t be able to turn it all around on his own, but he has to be better than Ryan at this point.

7. Atlanta Falcons: Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech
A transfer from Texas A&M, Tyree Wilson has put together back-to-back seven-sack campaigns for Texas Tech. A massive defensive end at 6-foot-6 and 275-pounds, Wilson can play on the edge but can also slide inside on passing downs.
He lands with the Atlanta Falcons here, who need some serious help on their defensive line. Outside of Grady Jarrett, they don’t have much talent and Wilson can help fix that problem.
