8.  Minnesota Vikings –   Teddy Bridgewater, QB – Louisville:  The Vikings need to add a quarterback, Bridgewater can be brought along slowly with Matt Cassell there.  Previous pick:  Khalil Mack, OLB – Buffalo

7.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers –  Jake Matthews, OT – Texas A&M:  Matthews is too good for the Buccaneers to pass up on.  Previous pick:  Blake Bortles, QB – UCF

6.  Atlanta Falcons – Khalil Mack, OLB – Buffalo:   The Falcons could use a pass rusher, and Mack is one of the best in the draft.  Previous Pick:  Jake Matthews, OT – Texas A&M

5.  Oakland Raiders  –  Sammy Watkins, WR – Clemson:  The Raiders have acquired Matt Schaub in a trade as their starting QB, so no need to draft one this high.  Now they need a number one wide receiver and Watkins makes sense.   Previous Pick:  Same
