13. Philadelphia Eagles
2015 record: 2-3 (.542)
Top need: Guard
Other needs: Offensive tackle, pass rusher
Senior prospects at positional needs: Guard: Landon Turner (North Carolina), Joshua Garnett (Stanford); OT: Vadal Alexander (LSU), Taylor Decker (Ohio State), Spencer Drango (Baylor); Pass rusher: Shilique Calhoun (Michigan State), Jordan Jenkins (Georgia), Shawn Oakman (Baylor).
Analysis: Chip Kelly's offense is supposed to be predicated on spreading the field and creating running lanes, but those lanes aren't materializing because the interior is inferior from a talent standpoint. The Eagles must find help at guard and look to add competition for the tackle spot. The offensive line is a mess and must be addressed. Finding edge speed to rush the passer was a need last year and should be again this time around.

14. Washington Commanders
2015 record: 2-3 (.542)
Top need: Quarterback
Other needs: Wide receiver, cornerback
Senior prospects at positional needs: QB: Connor Cook (Michigan State), Jacoby Brissett (North Carolina State), Trevone Boykin (TCU), Cody Kessler (USC); WR: D.J. Foster (Arizona State), Sterling Shepard (Oklahoma), Josh Doctson (TCU); CB: Maurice Canady (Virginia), Danzel McDaniel (Kansas State), Will Redmond (Mississippi State).
Analysis: Well, here we are again. After giving up two arms and two legs for the right to draft Robert Griffin, III, the Commanders are right back where they started -- in need of a quarterback to build around.DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon are entirely overpaid based upon the output (and expected output in the future) of the passing attack in Washington so a younger, cheaper wide receiver wouldn't be a bad idea on the outside. Finding a playmaker at cornerback who can handle the challenges at wide receiver within the division is a potential early round selection.

18. Dallas Cowboys
2015 record: 2-3 (.625)
Top need: Running back
Other needs: Quarterback, defensive tackle, linebacker
Senior prospects at positional needs: RB: Devontae Booker (Utah), Josh Ferguson (Illinois), Aaron Green (TCU); QB: Connor Cook (Michigan State), Jacoby Brissett (North Carolina State), Trevone Boykin (TCU), Cody Kessler (USC); DT: Sheldon Day (Notre Dame), Jarran Reed (Alabama), Adolphus Washington (Ohio State); LB: Jordan Jenkins (Georgia), Reggie Ragland (Alabama), Terrance Smith (Florida State).
Analysis: The Cowboys' offensive line is built for a rushing attack, so the Cowboys might want to go find a bell cow at that spot like they had with DeMarco Murray. Tony Romo's absence has created substantial problems for the Cowboys. Finding his heir apparent might not be a bad idea considering the fact that Romo will turn 36 years old before the beginning of next season. Dallas is solid at linebacker, but could use depth based on the past histories of Sean Lee and Rolando McClain.

26. New York Giants
2015 record: 3-2 (.520)
Top need: Cornerback
Other needs: Running back, safety
Senior prospects at positional needs: CB: Maurice Canady (Virginia), Danzel McDaniel (Kansas State), Will Redmond (Mississippi State); RB: Devontae Booker (Utah), Josh Ferguson (Illinois), Aaron Green (TCU); Safety: Deon Bush (Miami), Jeremy Cash (Duke), Kevin Byard (Middle Tennessee State).
Analysis: The cornerback play for the Giants needs to level out at a higher level of performance, and to achieve that new talent at that position is in order. Competition must be created at that position and at the safety position opposite rookie Landon Collins. Finding a dual-threat safety who can handle himself in coverage would be preferable. The running game is in desperate need of an upgrade.Rashad Jennings is aging and looks more tentative than in the past, and Andre Williams is more of a one-note runner.

I don't really care for mock drafts this early; still way too much time for prospects to rise/fall, teams to improve/decline on their record, etc.

Just pencil us in for #32.

QB is listed as a need for the Cowboys, but NOT Safety? What a joke...

BPA regardless of position.
And hopefully that BPA is Ezekiel Elliott.
