29. Indianapolis Colts: Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State – Inside Linebacker is still a big problem for the Colts. With McKinney, they get an instinctive linebacker who also knows how to tackle and do some rushing.
30. Green Bay Packers: D.J. Humphries, Tackle, Florida – Humphries is a solid QB protector and while the Packers do have a decent offensive line, they need to assure that Aaron Rodgers gets as much protection as possible because he got banged up quite a bit this year. An unhealthy Aaron Rodgers makes for a struggling Green Bay Packers team. Solution? Protect him.
31. New Orleans Saints (From Seattle Seahawks): Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota – The Saints traded away their best offensive target to the Seattle Seahawks, and now get to replace him. Maxx Williams has rose up draft boards, even despite a mediocre combine. Williams will be great in an offense that uses the Tight End heavily, and Brees (or Marcus Mariota) will find a way to give him the ball.
32. New England Patriots: Carl Davis, DT, Iowa – The Patriots just lost Vince Wilfork to the Houston Texans, so they will need to find another guy up the middle to help their run defense. Carl Davis has a legit motor and can do both rush defense and pass rush.
