5. Cleveland Browns (from TENN): Mitch Trubisky, quarterback, North Carolina
* Browns trade 12th pick and second-round pick to Titans
In this scenario, Cleveland rolls the dice in hopes that Trubisky isn’t selected in the first four picks. With two running backs going during that span, the team lucks out. We know Tennessee is looking to trade out of this spot, and it’s not a secret the Browns are attempting to trade up.
6. New York Jets: Solomon Thomas, EDGE, Stanford
Both Jamal Adams and Charles Harris have been linked to the Jets. But that was under the premise that Thomas would not be available. He would add a young pass-rushing threat to a defense that needs it from the edge. It’s really a perfect fit in Todd Bowles’ scheme.
7. Los Angeles Chargers: Malik Hooker, safety, Ohio State
San Diego struggled big time at the safety position after letting Eric Weddle depart in free agency last spring. In Hooker, this team gets the best center fielder in the draft, someone that has Earl Thomas-level rang. Add him to the mix with Jason Verrett, and the Chargers secondary would be borderline elite.
8. San Francisco 49ers (from CAR): Marshon Lattimore, cornerback, Ohio State
With so many needs on both sides of the ball, San Francisco has been attempting to trade down for more assets. This scenario enables the 49ers to pick up two more second-round picks while adding the top corner in the draft. It would also call for Jimmie Ward to play the free safety position with Eric Reid moving to strong safety. Lattimore is a perfect fit here.
