9. player. 56. GM: @sayrebedinger: The Cincinnati Bengals need a playmaker on defense that can get after the quarterback, and Haason Reddick has proven he can do that and much more. Reddick was a defensive back when he came to college, and he developed into a chiseled linebacker/defensive end hybrid type with excellent speed off the edge and the ability to play in space as well. This is a tremendous athlete that can be moved around the formation like a chess piece and the Bengals desperately need what he brings to the table.. Haason Reddick, LB. Temple. Cincinnati Bengals

player. 15. GM: @tyflyguy15: With the way the draft board was falling early, the New Orleans Saints got on the phone and talked to the Buffalo Bills about swapping first round draft picks. Saints would go tenth while the Bills would move down to eleven. The Saints defense has not been the same since the Super Bowl 45 win over the Colts. It is time to build that defense to help out Drew Brees. It is uncertain how long he has left in the league to win the big game at least one more time. Having a defense for the Brees possible farewell tour and for the future would be ideal. Enter Reuben Foster. He did recently come under fire for a diluted urine sample. That alone could force him to fall down the draft board. He also had an altercation with a hospital worker at the combine. With the Saints needing some help at linebacker, they decide to take their chances on Foster. His abilities are just too good to pass up. His abilities to cover the underneath route could be helpful to the Saints. Not to mention that he brings the boom whenever he tackles the opposing ball carrier. Some red flags, but the Saints take their chances here.. Reuben Foster, LB. Alabama. New Orleans Saints. 10

Buffalo Bills. 11. player. 16. GM: @CameronParkerPO: There is a blend of Sammy Watkins and Demaryius Thomas to Corey Davis’ game. Davis is quick to create breakaway speed and separation to reach the next level. Due to injuries and potential for uncertainty with Tyrod Taylor, the Bills draft Davis to give the team weapons on offense next to Watkins. In the right scenario there is a chance he may be a offensive rookie of the year, but would depend on the play of Taylor at quarterback. No doubt this pick makes the Buffalo happy knowing the weapons are expanding.. Corey Davis, WR. Western Michigan

12. player. 53. GM: @3D_Esquibel: This pick was simply best player available and in this draft you won’t find many players with more talent than Fournette. The Browns weren’t able to grab one of the top two quarterbacks in this years draft and weren’t willing to reach on Patrick Mahomes. While the idea of starting the season with Brock Osweiler as your starting quarterback doesn’t seem ideal, grabbing Garret and Fournette makes up for it. Cleveland has a solid duo already on the roster in Duke Johnson Jr and Isaiah Crowell who contributed nicely last year. However neither of the two are as talented as Fournette who may be one of the top three running backs to come out in the last 20 years. Fournette commands any defense to design a gameplan to stop him. This in return can help open the pass game. If the Patriots Super Bowl run taught us anything it’s that you can never have enough talented running backs on their roster. With this rebuilt offensive line and Fournette the Browns could have a very dynamic running attack.. Leonard Fournette, RB. LSU. Cleveland Browns
