The Washington Redskins grabbed a Clemson defensive lineman, but it was Jarvis Jenkins and not Bowers, the Nagurski Award winner as the top defensive player in college football last season. The Houston Texans provided more depth along their defensive line with the selection of Arizona's Brooks Reed, while the Minnesota Vikings took Notre Dame's Kyle Rudolph, a gifted receiver out of the tight end position.

Jones is a possibility as well if they're set on obtaining a receiver. 11) Houston Texans: Justin Houston, OLB, Georgia -- The Texans want to land a high-level cornerback to help turn around an atrocious pass defense, but Amukamara's gone in this mock.
