18 – C Garrett Bradbury – Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings saw a need and addressed it. Bradbury might not be the flashiest selection, but he’s going to be instrumental to preserving the health of Kirk CousinsGrade: B+

19 – EDGE Jeffery Simmons – Tennessee Titans

Despite health concerns, Simmons has the potential to be a late-season game-wrecker. Tennessee is giving up immediate production for a long-term win. Grade: B+

20 – TE Noah Fant – Denver Broncos

Another team in need of an answer at quarterback, Denver opted for the sure-fire solution rather than rolling the dice on an area of need. Grade: B-

21 – S Darnell Savage – Green Bay Packers

This might have been a bit early for Savage, but he fits right into a Green Bay defense in need of his skill set. Grade: C+

22 – OT Andre Dillard – Philadelphia Eagles

Knowing they had to get in front of Houston to secure Dillard, Philadelphia made the move and locked up the best pass-blocking left tackle in this class. Grade: A+
