55. The Steelers are still searching for a young cornerback to step in and give their defense a high caliber presence in pass coverage.  Eli Apple has good size and is the kind of player who can help give that to them.  <b> </b>. Cornerback. Ohio State. Eli Apple. 25. player

36. The Seattle Seahawks defense is still a good one but they could use more talent and youth on the interior of their defensive line.  Robert Nkemdiche not only brings a lot of talent but also some off the field issues.  The Seahawks are just the kind of veteran team that could help Nkemdiche mature and become the play maker up front that they don’t have on the interior defensive line. <b> </b>. Defensive Tackle. Mississippi. Robert Nkemdiche. 26. player
