Reynolds predicts NFL draft
1. Houston Texans — Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
Clowney is clearly the top talent in this year’s draft class.
2. St. Louis Rams — Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn
The priority needs to be to protect Sam Bradford at this point.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars — Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Manziel would help the Jags sell tickets while finally giving them an elite signal caller.
4. Cleveland Browns — Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
The Browns have weapons, but they need stability at quarterback.
5. Oakland Raiders — Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
Watkins would serve as a reliable target for Matt Schaub.
6. Atlanta Falcons — Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo
Atlanta would like to trade up and nab Clowney, but they would be happy to have Mack, a premier pass rusher.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
Besides Vincent Jackson, the Bucs are looking thin at wide receiver.
8. Minnesota Vikings — Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida
During his remarkable pro day performance, Bortles showed he can be a franchise QB.
9. Buffalo Bills — Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
It’s hard to see the Bills not taking Matthews this deep into the draft.
10. Detroit Lions — Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
The Lions could pick a safety or a cornerback, but Lewan makes more sense.
11. Tennessee Titans — Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
12. New York Giants — Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
13. St. Louis Rams — Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, CB, Alabama
14. Chicago Bears — Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
15. Pittsburgh Steelers — Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh
16. Dallas Cowboys — Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri
17. Baltimore Ravens — Calvin Pryor, FS, Louisville
18. New York Jets — Odell Beckham, WR, LSU
19. Miami Dolphins — Zack Martin, OT, Notre Dame
20. Arizona Cardinals — Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State
21. Green Bay Packers — Dee Ford, DE, Auburn
22. Philadelphia Eagles — Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
23. Kansas City Chiefs — Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
24. Cincinnati Bengals — Timmy Jernigan, NT, Florida State
25. San Diego Chargers — Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
26. Miami Dolphins — Xavier Su’a-Filo, OG, UCLA
27. New Orleans Saints — Marqise Lee, WR, USC
28. Carolina Panthers — Davante Adams, WR, Fresno State
29. New England Patriots — Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
30. San Francisco 49ers — Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
31. Denver Broncos — CJ Mosley, ILB, Alabama
32. Seattle Seahawks — Ra’Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota
