Your Thursday Morning Roundup

Last night’s 118-101 win over the Knicks came at a heavy cost: the loss of Joel Embiid.

X-rays were negative and Embiid did not receive a concussion. He was diagnosed with a facial contusion and went to a local hospital for precautionary tests. The Sixers will probably give an update later today or at the latest tomorrow before the team plays Atlanta.

It was the second consecutive game that Markelle Fultz collided with his own teammate. This collision was obviously worse than the one he had on Monday.

As for the game, Dario Saric had a huge double-double with 26 points and 14 rebounds, while Ben Simmons had another near triple-double with 13 points, 10 assists, and eight boards. JJ Redick, Robert Covington, and Marco Belinelli also scored in double figures.

With Embiid gone for nearly 3/4 of the game and Amir Johnson already out, Richaun Holmes got nearly 22 minutes of action with 15 points and seven rebounds.

As for Markelle Fultz, he scored three points, seven assists, and five rebounds in 13:35 of play. He did have this block:

— NBA (@NBA) March 28, 2018

I also love Dario Saric:

The Sixers have 30 wins since their Christmas day W over the Knicks (the Knicks have 10)…and have now won eight straight, 19 of the last 20 in Philadelphia. Here’s @dariosaric on @NBCSPhilly postgame with us. *Dario told us he doesn’t want to face @KingJames in the first round. pic.twitter.com/iQIshj85Xg

— Molly Sullivan (@MollySullivanTV) March 29, 2018

With a Cleveland win, nothing changes between third and fourth in the Eastern Conference. But with the Pacers idle, the Sixers do go a half-game up on Indiana with a game in hand. They’re at Sacramento tonight, while Washington is on the road facing Detroit:

Sixers take on the Hawks in Atlanta Friday night. They have plenty of time.

Meanwhile, their G-League affiliate in Delaware will now be known as the Delaware Blue Coats.

The Roundup:

We’re now down to 12 in The Worst of Philadelphia bracket.

Speaking of teams that won and had a big injury, the Flyers couldn’t avoid the bug. And it involved goalie Michal Neuvirth, who made his first start in over a month after suffering a lower-body injury. He left midway the second period with…a lower-body injury.

— Sons of Penn (@SonsofPenn) March 29, 2018

Nobody even knew on the TV broadcast what had happened to the goalie until the first save made was by Petr Mrazek. It was that sneaky.

He somehow got credited with the win as the Flyers took home a big 2-1 victory over the Avalanche. Claude Giroux scored the first goal, which tied his career-high of 93 points, and Ivan Provorov scored the game-winner with two minutes left in the first. Matt Nieto cut the Flyer lead to half five minutes into the second.

With Columbus idle, the Flyers moved back to third in the Metropolitan division. They also got some breathing room with Florida losing in regulation to Toronto:

The Devils host Pittsburgh, Florida plays Ottawa, and Columbus visits Calgary in tonight’s notable games.

The Flyers are off until Sunday when they host Boston in NBC’s Game of the Week at 12:30 PM. I hope Alex Lyon didn’t pack his bags for Lehigh Valley just yet.

The Phillies are back. Opening Day in Atlanta against the Braves at 4:10 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Aaron Nola will take the mound against Julio Teheran. Their over-under on wins is at 75.5, and a ton of people are taking the over on that number.

Thanks to an injury back in 2016, Nola committed to becoming stronger and healthier in time for last season. And it helped.

“After the injury, I learned how to use my legs more and during rehab I tried to make them stronger,” he said. “That’s taken stress off my elbow. I thought I was using my legs the right way, but I wasn’t. I developed better mechanics in my legs while I was rehabbing. That kept me healthy last year.”

Three things have made the Phillies think about a possible return to the playoffs for the first time in seven years.

Are you a good left-handed pitcher? The Phillies need you for batting practice help.

Enjoy five memorable Opening Day moments while you’re at it.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman was named the 2017 Sporting News NFL Executive of the Year, as voted by his fellow GMs.

Despite the Rams getting Ndamukong Suh, the Eagles still have the best defensive line, according to many ESPN writers.

One of those players on that line is Brandon Graham, who still hasn’t received a new contract extension:

“Brandon is a hugely valuable part of our team,” Roseman said. “Obviously, he’s in the last year of his deal and he’s one of the most productive players at his position. He deserves whatever he can get. At the same time, we have a cap and we’re trying to fit everyone in. We’re trying to fit as many good players.

“We went through this yesterday – we have a lot of players who are under contract, not only for 2018, 2019, but when we get into the 2020s, and they’re good players. We want to keep as many of them around as possible and add players on top of it. That’s a challenge, that’s a puzzle that we’re trying to figure out. But it’s a good problem to have.”

It’s a problem all successful teams face and one Roseman must navigate if the Eagles – who currently have about $5 million in cap space — are to become a perennial Super Bowl contender. Who do you keep? Which of your foundational players do you compensate? And how can you keep the business side from affecting the locker room and coach Doug Pederson’s ability to keep the team focused on the field?

Malcolm Jenkins’ hit on Brandin Cooks in Super Bowl LII would now be illegal with the new tackling rules.

In Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft, he has the Eagles taking South Dakota State tight end Dallas Goedert.

Should the Eagles keep Darren Sproles for one more year?

In other sports news, Isaiah Thomas will undergo surgery on his right hip. But the Lakers are still interested in his services in free agency.

If a team wants Odell Beckham, it’ll take at least two first round picks.

Marvin Bagley III is NBA bound.

Speaking of Duke, future Blue Devil Zion Williamson injured his right thumb in last night’s McDonald’s All American game.

Cody Kessler is Blake Bortles’ new backup. The Browns traded him to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2019 conditional seventh round pick.

Could Reuben Foster’s days in San Francisco soon be over?

Former Mets legend Rusty Staub has died at the age of 73.

Augusta, Georgia’s new ABA team is called the…706ers.

In the news, Bill Cosby’s legal team is pressuring the judge to step aside and postpone his retrial.

Two pilots in Arizona think they saw a UFO.

Don’t wear AirPods like Rudy Giuliani:

The full AFL injury list for round six

Stephen Hill’s loss could stop Fremantle’s momentum

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Kyle Cheney Hamstring 1-2 weeks Ben Davis* Foot Season Cam Ellis-Yolmen* Knee Season Jordan Gallucci Shin Test Josh Jenkins Ribs Test Alex Keath Hamstring 1-2 weeks Jake Kelly Eye Test Riley Knight Hamstring TBC Mitch McGovern Hamstring 7-11 weeks Paul Seedsman Groin Indefinite Daniel Talia Hamstring TBC Updated: Monday, April 24

Early prognosis

Talia and Knight are the seventh and eighth players to have hamstring injuries this year, including the pre-season. Kelly should be right to return this week against Richmond, while Jenkins will have a fitness test. – Lee Gaskin

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Allen Christensen Shoulder Season Tom Cutler Hamstring Test Sam Skinner* Knee 5 weeks Reuben William Shoulder 1-2 weeks Alex Witherden Hamstring TBC Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Early prognosis

Darcy Gardiner (calf) was a late withdrawal against the Western Bulldogs but will resume full training this week and be available to play Port Adelaide, while Tom Cutler (hamstring) will also resume full training. William would have played NEAFL this weekend, but the Lions have a bye, so he will have to wait until round six. – Michael Whiting

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Ciaran Byrne Knee June-July Bryce Gibbs Thumb Test Daniel Gorringe Achilles 2-3 weeks Jed Lamb Knee 2 weeks Kym Lebois Quad 3 weeks Marc Murphy Knee Test Rhys Palmer Knee Test Ciaran Sheehan Knee 2 weeks Liam Sumner Hamstring 2 weeks Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Early prognosis

Skipper Murphy injured his right knee early against the Power and had scans on Monday. The Blues are confident he will take his place against the Swans. Fellow midfielder Gibbs, who injured his left thumb last Friday night, should also be available. Veterans Kreuzer and Thomas, who were rested from last Friday night’s game against Port Adelaide because of soreness, should return. – Howard Kotton

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Tim Broomhead Jaw TBC Jordan De Goey Club-imposed suspension 1 week Tom Langdon Knee 1-2 weeks Ben Sinclair* Hamstring 9-10 weeks Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Early prognosis

Broomhead copped a knock to the jaw that will require further assessment. De Goey still has one week to serve as part of a club-imposed three-game suspension for initially lying about how he sustained a broken knuckle. The Pies hope Langdon will resume shortly in the VFL. Sinclair is still eyeing a return in the second half of the year. – Ben Collins

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Ben Howlett Hamstring Available Jayden Laverde* Ankle 6-8 weeks Conor McKenna Suspension Round six Alex Morgan Hamstring Test David Myers* Finger Available Mason Redman Groin Available Jordan Ridley* Back 4-6 weeks Updated: Tuesday, April 18

Early prognosis

The Bombers will have David Myers available for selection for the first time this season following finger surgery but it seems likely he will play in the VFL before being ready for senior consideration. Ben Howlett is back from his hamstring injury and available to be picked, and it means the club has a pretty healthy list. Jayden Laverde’s exciting speed and marking ability would be handy for the Bombers but he is still some way off making a return from his serious ankle injury. – Callum Twomey

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Michael Apeness Knee 2 weeks Harley Balic Hip Test Hayden Ballantyne Hamstring 3-5 weeks Harley Bennell Calf 7-9 weeks Zac Clarke* Knee TBA Josh Deluca Groin 3 weeks Stephen Hill Hamstring 3-4 weeks Alex Pearce Leg TBA Luke Ryan Hip 1 week Matthew Uebergang Hamstring TBA Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Track report

Losing Stephen Hill to a hamstring strain is a major blow, but in good news youngster Harley Balic could be available for the Western Derby and reclaim a spot in the midfield. Michael Apeness was back training with the main group on Tuesday and is closing in on a return to football after a PCL issue sidelined him on the eve of the season. – Travis King

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Ryan Abbott Back 1-2 weeks Josh Cowan Achilles soreness Test Cory Gregson* Foot 5 weeks Tom Hawkins Corked thigh Test Lincoln McCarthy Groin Test James Parsons Suspended 1 week Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Track report

Lincoln McCarthy and Josh Cowan are both expected to be available after being rested due to soreness, but will need to be tested during the week. Tom Hawkins copped a corked thigh against St Kilda but is expected to play against Collingwood, and Sam Menegola is available after serving a one-week suspension. – Peter Ryan

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Ben Ainsworth Quad 3 weeks Sam Day Hip Season Mitch Hallahan Hamstring 1 week Pearce Hanley Ankle Test Cameron Loersch Knee Test Steven May Hamstring 1 week Trent McKenzie Hamstring 1 week Michael Rischitelli Knee Indefinite Rory Thompson Quad Test Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Early prognosis

Thompson was listed as one to two weeks a week ago, so would be an outside chance to play at the weekend as he ramps up training this week. Hanley was close to playing in the NEAFL and would be expected to make his comeback from an ankle problem if he gets through some solid work this week. May, McKenzie and Hallahan should start striding out a bit more after their recent hamstring injuries. – Michael Whiting

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Matt Buntine Knee Season Stephen Coniglio Ankle 1 week Brett Deledio Calf TBC Tom Downie* Illness Indefinite Ryan Griffen Ankle 7-9 weeks Harrison Himmelberg Ribs Test Tendai Mzungu Hamstring 7-9 weeks Will Setterfield Ankle 7-9 weeks Lachie Whitfield Suspended Round eight Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Early prognosis

The positive news is that Coniglio could be fit to return through the NEAFL in the next two weeks after stepping up his running over the past fortnight, while Harry Himmelberg could play this week as he continues to push for a senior game, but there’s still no time frame on Deledio’s comeback. – Adam Curley

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Grant Birchall Fractured jaw 1 week Jonathon Ceglar* Knee 8 weeks Kieran Lovell Shoulder Indefinite Jaeger O’Meara Knee Test Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Track report

Jaeger O’Meara will be assessed this week after missing two matches because of a knee knock, with the Hawks to assess his function late in the week before making a selection call. Isaac Smith overextended his knee against West Coast but was able to play out the match and has pulled up well. Grant Birchall returned to training last week and will return in round seven. – Nathan Schmook

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Angus Brayshaw Concussion Test Colin Garland* Knee Season Max Gawn Hamstring 11 weeks Pat McKenna Hamstring 5-7 weeks Christian Petracca Knee Test Joel Smith Shoulder 11 weeks Tim Smith Rib/punctured lung TBC Jake Spencer Shoulder 6-7 weeks Aaron vandenBerg Heel 5-7 weeks Josh Wagner Thumb 2-3 weeks Sam Weideman Corked leg Test Updated: Tuesday, April 25

Early prognosis

The ruck stocks at Melbourne hit crisis point when Jake Spencer hurt his shoulder, scans ruling out the big man for close to two months. Mitch King played in the seconds after a long layoff but is unlikely to get the call up. Petracca is likely to play but will face a test late in the week on his knee, while Tim Smith is out for a length after puncturing a lung and finishing the game against Richmond in hospital. In better news Jordan Lewis is back after a three-week suspension. – Ben Guthrie

Player

Injury

Estimated Return

Track report

Goldstein and Higgins – a late withdrawal against Fremantle – should be available. The Roos took a cautious approach with Higgins, given his injury history, while Goldstein returned to the field. Braydon Preuss is the obvious replacement if Goldstein doesn’t come up. Waite is unlikely to play before round seven. Hibberd sat out Werribee’s VFL match on Saturday after a head clash the week before. – Marc McGowan

Early prognosis

While Boyd and Dunkley should overcome their minor injuries for the round six clash with Greater Western Sydney, the Dogs are unlikely to get anymore injured players back into the senior side in the near future.

NFL mock draft 2017: 2 rounds of fun

In our latest mock draft, every team gets at least one pick — except the Patriots.

The 2017 NFL Draft is a week away, and each team’s board is just about ready to go. The New England Patriots are the only franchise without a selection in the first or second round, but it just won’t feel like a draft until Bill Belichick finds a way to trade his way into the top 64 picks.

But trades are reliant upon having an idea of who wants what and which players are going to go where.

The San Francisco 49ers could be in the market to try to swap the No. 2 pick, but what player will teams want to come up and grab? If Mitchell Trubisky is the apple of a team’s eye, which team would that be?

If any team makes sense for Trubisky as a landing spot, it’s hard to argue against the 49ers as the one. Yes, the team has other holes on the roster, but a pick early in the second round could be used to address another need.

With that, here’s a look at the haul each team could get in the first two rounds next week:

1. Cleveland Browns

1st round (1st overall): Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M 1st round (12th overall): Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson 2nd round (33rd overall): Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida 2nd round (52nd overall): JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

The Browns are rumored to be split between Garrett and Trubisky for the first pick, and — call me naive — but I actually believe them. But I’d still guess they lean toward Garrett, and settle for another quarterback. In this case, it’s Deshaun Watson, the second quarterback off the board who gets a receiver to work with in the second round.

2. San Francisco 49ers

1st round (2nd overall): Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina 2nd round (34th overall): Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State

The 49ers may trade away the No. 2 pick and gather young talent, but it’s difficult to find a potential trade partner. They’re as quarterback needy as any team, so why not just take the No. 1 passer for themselves? In the second round, the team gets a speedy edge rusher to complement the last two first-round picks — Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner.

3. Chicago Bears

1st round (3rd overall): Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford 2nd round (36th overall): Adoree’ Jackson, CB, USC

The draft plan for the Bears should be simple: Add impact players. Solomon Thomas can be that up front and he’d give them another dangerous edge rusher to a front seven that has Leonard Floyd. On the outside, Adoree’ Jackson can help a secondary that rarely made big plays, and his return ability would be welcomed on the roster.

4. Jacksonville Jaguars

1st round (4th overall): Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama 2nd round (35th overall): Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

Jacksonville has made a habit out of adding defensive line talent, but doesn’t have much depth behind Calais Campbell. Allen provides a future at the position and another option for a defense that likes rotation up front. Landing Dalvin Cook in the second round would be a dream come true for the team and really not that unrealistic.

5. Tennessee Titans

1st round (5th overall): Jamal Adams, S, LSU 1st round (18th overall): Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama

Just like that, and the Titans secondary can go from a concern to a strength. Here they add two SEC defensive backs, who would join former Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan and former Jaguars safety Johnathan Cyprien. Giving Marcus Mariota some more tools to work with is still a priority, but the team’s pass defense — which finished No. 30 in yards allowed — stands to make significant strides in 2017.

6. New York Jets

1st round (6th overall): John Ross, WR, Washington 2nd round (39th overall): Jabrill Peppers, S, Michigan

If this was the Jets’ haul, it would likely be the most talked about picks after the fact. John Ross would be the first true surprise of the draft, but he’d bring real game-breaking ability to a wide receiver corps that is now without Brandon Marshall. In the second round, the Jets get Peppers — a Swiss Army knife who can be used creatively by Todd Bowles in the secondary. In Bowles’s two years with the Cardinals, the team picked Tyrann Mathieu and Deone Bucannon. Giving him a multi-faceted toy of a defensive back would help a defense that struggled to keep points off the board.

7. Los Angeles Chargers

1st round (7th overall): Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State 2nd round (38th overall): Caleb Brantley, DT, Florida

Joey Bosa made a significant impact for the Chargers, and that’s the kind of player they need to continue to add. Malik Hooker is the ball hawk safety of the class and can step in at a position where the Chargers have a big deficiency. Brantley can provide a penetrating 3-technique for a team transitioning to a 4-3 under new DC Gus Bradley.

8. Carolina Panthers

1st round (8th overall): Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State 2nd round (40th overall): Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee 2nd round (64th overall): Evan Engram, TE, Mississippi

Letting Josh Norman walk as a free agent last year was a bold stand against overpaying the cornerback position, but replacing him wasn’t easy. With Lattimore, the Panthers get the top cornerback in the class as long as he can stay healthy. In the second round, Carolina adds a pair of weapons for Cam Newton to work with, even if they aren’t wide receivers. Kamara can split carries with Jonathan Stewart, and Engram can allow the Panthers to run two tight end sets with more effectiveness than what Ed Dickson provides.

9. Cincinnati Bengals

1st round (9th overall): Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee 2nd round (41st overall): Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida

Finally the Bengals have another edge rusher opposite Carlos Dunlap with the addition of Derek Barnett, a polished player who could make his presence felt early. The team also lucks out at the top of the second round by getting the Mike linebacker it needs in the middle of the defense.

10. Buffalo Bills

1st round (10th overall): Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State 2nd round (44th overall): David Njoku, TE, Miami (Fla.)

There are many directions the Bills could go in the draft, but getting Stephon Gilmore’s replacement early is probably the top priority. The only other need that could come close is receiver, but nobody jumps out at pick 44 who could be the instant solution. Instead, Njoku somehow stayed on the board and is an athletic player to work with in the passing game.

11. New Orleans Saints

1st round (11th overall): O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama 1st round (32nd overall): Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado 2nd round (42nd overall): Dan Feeney, G, Indiana

Logically, the Saints should spend most of their draft focusing on the defensive side of the ball. But historically, Sean Payton and Co. just can’t seem to help themselves when a good offensive prospect is on the board. O.J. Howard is a hugely athletic tight end who can fill the void that Jimmy Graham left and Coby Fleener definitely didn’t fix. With so many defensive backs, the end of the first round and the second round could be a hot bed, although shoring up the offensive line with Feeney would also be wise.

13. Arizona Cardinals

1st round (13th overall): Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan 2nd round (45th overall): DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame

A changing of the guard is coming in Arizona, and 2017 looks like it could certainly be the last hurrah for Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald. While Corey Davis can help both of those players next season, these are selections for the future, and Kizer gives Bruce Arians a young prospect to try to mold into the next face of the franchise for the Cardinals.

14. Philadelphia Eagles

1st round (14th overall): Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU 2nd round (43rd overall): Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson

The Eagles could realistically find two starting cornerbacks in the draft, but Fournette would be awfully difficult to pass up if he’s on the board at No. 14 — after all, Darren Sproles will slow down eventually ... I think. Ryan Mathews has thrived in two- and three-headed backfields, and would be a good bridge for Fournette to not have to shoulder the entire load right away. In the second round, the Eagles get the secondary help they so sorely need.

15. Indianapolis Colts

1st round (15th overall): Haason Reddick, LB, Temple 2nd round (46th overall): Taylor Moton, OL, Western Michigan

Reuben Foster is still on the board at No. 15, but the Colts could make better use of the speed and athleticism of Reddick in the middle of the defense. In the second round, Indianapolis gives Andrew Luck — who has been injured for years now, literally — some much-needed protection.

16. Baltimore Ravens

1st round (16th overall): Mike Williams, WR, Clemson 2nd round (47th overall): Tyus Bowser, OLB, Houston

There’s plenty of debate about the order Williams, John Ross, and Corey Davis come off the board, but there’s an agreement that the fourth receiver off the board is in a lower tier. Snagging Williams gives the Ravens one of the top receivers in the class, which is perfect for a receiving corps without much production to point to. In the second round, Baltimore adds one of the more intriguing and athletic edge rushers — a spot where finding Terrell Suggs’s eventual replacement is necessary.

17. Washington

1st round (17th overall): Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State 2nd round (49th overall): Budda Baker, S, Washington

This could finally be the draft when Washington decides to actually add an interior defensive lineman. For some reason, the team took just one defensive linemen in the first three rounds over the last five years. But with McDowell on the board at No. 17, it’s a match made in heaven. So, too, would be the opportunity to take Baker, giving the team a better option than D.J. Swearinger at safety.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

1st round (19th overall): Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut 2nd round (50th overall): Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn

If Christian McCaffrey is still on the board at No. 19, he could be hard to pass up, but the fit of Melifonwu in Tampa Bay is just too perfect. He’s one of the true athletic freaks of the class and would give a significant upgrade to both the pass and run defense in Tampa Bay as a box safety. In the second round, Lawson would be another explosive rusher for a team that already has Robert Ayers and Noah Spence.

20. Denver Broncos

1st round (20th overall): Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford 2nd round (51st overall): Antonio Garcia, OT, Troy

There isn’t an offensive lineman in the class that will change an offense the way that McCaffrey will. That’s why he’s the pick for the Broncos, who don’t have much to work with outside of their receivers. In the second round, Garcia gives Denver a potential starter on the offensive line.

21. Detroit Lions

1st round (21st overall): Charles Harris, DE, Missouri 2nd round (53rd overall): Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State

The Lions could use an edge-rushing boost after finishing near the bottom of the NFL in sacks with just 26. Harris provides that, while McMillan is a likely starter in a defense that is slated to start Paul Worrilow, Tahir Whitehead, and Antwione Williams.

22. Miami Dolphins

1st round (22nd overall): Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama 2nd round (54th overall): T.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin

Offensive line is likely a priority for the Dolphins, but Reuben Foster provides a big upgrade over Koa Misi and an impact Sam linebacker up front. With most of the top offensive linemen of the second round gone too, the Dolphins get great value in Watt. He’s projected by most as a 3-4 outside linebacker, but he’s bigger than Cameron Wake and could eventually attempt to fill the shoes of the five-time Pro Bowler.

23. New York Giants

1st round (23rd overall): Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin 2nd round (55th overall): Chris Wormley, DT, Michigan

The Giants add size on both lines in the first two rounds. Even if the team hasn’t given up on Ereck Flowers, Ramczyk can take over for Bobby Hart on the right side. Wormley can give the Giants an inside threat to push the pocket, and help to fill the void left by the departure of Johnathan Hankins.

24. Oakland Raiders

1st round (24th overall): Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt 2nd round (56th overall): Kevin King, CB, Washington

While the Raiders really have the luxury to take the best player available, regardless of position, the defense is the side that needs more work. If there is a big hole to fill, it’s at linebacker, and Cunningham is as exciting a playmaker as there is at the position to replace Malcolm Smith. Then in the second round, the Raiders take King, a tall, press cornerback on a defense that likes tall, press cornerbacks.

25. Houston Texans

1st round (25th overall): Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama 2nd round (57th overall): Marcus Williams, S, Utah

It’s tempting to force a quarterback to the Texans, and that certainly could be the direction they go in, but they’ve never shown a tendency to be desperate in the past. If they don’t have a prospect they love at the position, I believe Bill O’Brien when he says he’s fine with Tom Savage. Instead, the team can address two other needs by taking Robinson in the wake of Derek Newton’s serious injury, and by selecting Williams to possibly start ahead of Andre Hal.

26. Seattle Seahawks

1st round (26th overall): Garett Bolles, OT, Utah 2nd round (58th overall): Ahkello Witherspoon, CB, Colorado

Offensive line absolutely has to be a priority for the Seahawks, and Bolles gives them a day one starter at tackle. Whether that’s on the left or right side probably depends on what they think of Luke Joeckel, who was kicked inside to guard in Jacksonville before leaving in free agency. In the second round, the Seahawks get Witherspoon — an underrated, long cornerback who stands at 6’3.

27. Kansas City Chiefs

1st round (27th overall): Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech 2nd round (59th overall): Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama

With 10 draft picks and a roster that likely won’t have 10 rookies on the final 53, the Chiefs could be in business to package some picks and move up. But if Mahomes falls to them at No. 27 and Williams at No. 59, there really wouldn’t be any reason to do so. Both players could be the trade targets. Mahomes gives Andy Reid his quarterback of the future after Alex Smith, and Williams is another pass rusher for a team that already has a few. It’s a bit of a luxury pick, but the Chiefs don’t have many dire needs to address.

28. Dallas Cowboys

1st round (28th overall): Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan 2nd round (60th overall): Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State

Previous attempts to add a premier pass rusher (Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory) didn’t work out well for the Cowboys. It’s the clear top need for Dallas in the draft, so why not take two cracks at it with Charlton and Willis near the bottom of each of the first two rounds?

29. Green Bay Packers

1st round (29th overall): Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma 2nd round (61st overall): Fabian Moreau, CB, UCLA

Ted Thompson loves to add speed and athleticism early, and both Mixon and Moreau provide that. Moreau is recovering from a pectoral injury suffered at the UCLA pro day, but that shouldn’t stop him from being an early contributor. The concerns about Mixon go far beyond that, but somebody is going to take him early, and the Packers could be the landing spot.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers

1st round (30th overall): Takkarist McKinley, OLB, UCLA 2nd round (62nd overall): Teez Tabor, CB, Florida

The Steelers need to: A) Find an outside linebacker to pair with 2015 first-round pick Bud Dupree; and B) Find a cornerback to pair with 2016 first-round pick Artie Burns. In this scenario they do both, snagging an ultra-athletic, but raw pass rusher in McKinley, and a very productive and successful, albeit slow, cornerback in Tabor.

31. Atlanta Falcons

1st round (31st overall): Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky 2nd round (63rd overall): Montravius Adams, DT, Auburn

Expect an emphasis on beef when it comes to the Falcons. The team could stand to find a new starter on the offensive line and help its run defense with another nose tackle, even after bringing on Dontari Poe. Lamp and Adams fit the bill and would add about 613 combined pounds to the Atlanta roster.

37. Los Angeles Rams

2nd round (37th overall): Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina

The Rams sought to provide Jared Goff with some help in the offseason, but Robert Woods alone isn’t going to cut it. Jones is FBS’s all-time leader in receptions after racking up huge stats at East Carolina and should be able to immediately contribute for the Rams, which is a must for an offense that can’t afford to slowly groom any additional young talent.

48. Minnesota Vikings

2nd round (48th overall): Dion Dawkins, G, Temple

Getting a running back would be nice now that the Adrian Peterson era is over, but after the top five backs there’s a drop off and they’re all gone when the Vikings go on the clock. But adding offensive line talent is certainly a priority, too. The Vikings struggled to protect Sam Bradford and couldn’t provide much running room anyway. Dawkins was a three-year starter who played left tackle in college, and could play tackle in the NFL, but likely projects best inside.
