1 - KC: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
Andy Reid drafted more defensive than offensive players with first-round picks in Philly. With no sure-fire QB options, he solidifies the defense.

2 - JAX: Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSU

7 - ARI: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
I expect the Cards to find a new QB via trade or free agency, wanting a veteran to pair with Fitz. They use this pick on a rising star at the OT position.

9 - NYJ: Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
They need many things, but a dynamic pass-rusher is near the top of the list. Jones is an ideal 3-4 OLB for Rex's defense.
