Notable Picks

10. New York Giants: Josh Doctson

The New York Giants' spending spree in free agency filled their most glaring holes on the defensive line and in the secondary, which may allow them to add another weapon on offense with the 10th pick. 

Since Eli Manning is getting up there in age (he turned 35 in January), it would make sense for the Giants to target a prospect with NFL-ready traits. 

Josh Doctson is not quite on Odell Beckham's level as a prospect, but he wins in many of the same ways. 

Like Beckham, Doctson has elite hands and does an exceptional job positioning himself to come down with contested catches. 

These traits often allow for a smooth transition to the NFL and would make Doctson an impact rookie in New York. 

23. Minnesota Vikings: Corey Coleman

The Minnesota Vikings entered free agency with serious concerns on the offensive line, but after adding guard Alex Boone, the team can entertain other options in the first round. 

With the protection around Teddy Bridgewater improved, the next step is to provide him with more weapons. 

Baylor's Corey Coleman would give the Vikings another deep threat, providing them with an upgrade over the recently released Mike Wallace. 

Coleman isn't the most polished product, but his ability to stretch the field will offer immediate value in Minnesota. 

29. Arizona Cardinals: Ryan Kelly

According to Adam Green of Arizona Sports, Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin recently joked that he was trying to get into playing shape to fill the team's void at center. 

Longtime starter Lyle Sendlein is a free agent, and based on Goodwin's comments, it certainly sounds like the team is preparing for life without him. 

Journeyman backup A.Q. Shipley currently tops the depth chart, but he's started just 22 games since entering the league in 2009. 

Kelly was a three-year starter for the Crimson Tide and winner of the 2015 Rimington Trophy, given to the nation's top center.
