25. Buffalo Bills: CB Andrew Booth, Clemson

Tre’Davious White is a lockdown cornerback, but the Bills need another player in the secondary. The Bills have the least holes to fill in the draft, and one of the needs is a cornerback. Booth is a versatile cornerback, who can guard the outside and the slot. The Clemson product is also an underrated tackler, making plenty of plays in the backfield this past season. White and Booth will form one of the best cornerback tandems in the league.

26. Tennessee Titans: IOL Zion Johnson, Boston College

Physicality and winning at the point of attack is the focus of this Titans’ offense. With the run game as important as it is for Tennessee, addressing the offensive line should be an expectation for this selection. Johnson is the best offensive lineman left on the board, and his ability to block in the zone-run scheme fits Tennessee’s offensive philosophy. The 22-year-old guard is also great in pass protection but is an above-average run blocker. His football IQ is off the charts, and his mindset and understanding of the game will fall right in line with Mike Vrabel’s culture. This is also an offensive line that is not getting any younger and needs as many assets on the line as possible.

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: S Dax Hill, Michigan

While Tampa Bay was able to keep Carlton Davis in free agency, the Buccaneers did lose safety Jordan Whitehead to the Jets. Tampa Bay is another team that does not have a ton of needs entering the draft. Hill is a versatile defender, who was highly productive during his time at Michigan. The 6’0”, 191-pound safety can line up at safety and at cornerback, giving flexibility to the defense. Having Tom Brady allows Tampa Bay to not feel the need to reach, and draft the best available.
