25. Arizona Cardinals (from HOU): DeShone Kizer, quarterback, Notre Dame

Could go one of three ways here. It’s possible the Cardinals just simply take Mahomes instead of trading down. They can also decide that Davis Webb is a better long-term option than Kizer. But we’re going to go away from the grain here. Assuming Carson Palmer decides to play for two more seasons (let’s hope), Kizer will have a strong veteran to learn from. And with the most upside of any quarterback in this class outside of Trubisky, this would be a tremendous fit in the desert.

26. Seattle Seahawks: Cam Robinson, offensive tackle, Alabama

Now that the Richard Sherman trade rumors have somewhat died down, the Seahawks can get down to brass tax. It’s all about adding talent to the offensive line. And while Robinson might have initial struggles against speedier rushers due to balance and athleticism, he boasts the highest upside of any potential franchise left tackle in the draft. Start him at right tackle out of the gate, and move him to Russell Wilson’s blindside in a year or two.

27. San Francisco 49ers (from KC): Corey Davis, wide receiver, Western Michigan

NFL Draft, Corey Davis

* 49ers trade second-round pick and fourth-round pick to Chiefs 

Here, we have San Francisco exhausting some of the capital it acquired in trading down from two in order to move back up in the first round. It does so with a Julio Jones-type player in mind. We’re not saying Davis is up to the level of the Falcons receiver, but he can act that part in Kyle Shanahan’s system. At With elite-level route-running skills and a large catch radius, he’s that No. 1 receiver the 49ers have been missing since Terrell Owens.

28. Dallas Cowboys: Charles Harris, EDGE, Missouri

Pass rush and secondary help. Dallas will address both positions early in the draft. And in reality, it really doesn’t matter which one it goes with first. Harris provides the best value at 28, and therefore, he’s the pick. While considered slow (see 40-yard dash time), Harris provides the pass-rush moves and consistent production Dallas has been missing in this area. He’s a Day 1 starter with the potential to put up 10-plus sacks as a rookie.
