13. Houston Texans: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

The Houston Texans need help in their defensive backfield desperately.

Again, the rumor right now is that they are going to go Derek Stingley Jr. at pick number three overall, but what if they go with an EDGE up top?

Trent McDuffie could be a nice consolation prize.

He may not have the same measurables as guys like Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley, but McDuffie has been outstanding for Washington and very productive, showing a physical style of play and an aggressive mentality to attack the ball in the air.

14. Baltimore Ravens: Zion Johnson, OG, Boston College

With their first pick among many (what else is new?) in this year’s draft, the Baltimore Ravens upgrade in the trenches with Boston College’s rapidly rising offensive guard prospect Zion Johnson.

Although this wouldn’t be the sexiest pick the Ravens could make, there has been a lot of turnover on their offensive line in recent years and Johnson could provide some stability at the guard position.

This is a team that loves to run the ball and having the right pieces on the offensive line is key to offensive consistency.
