AFC South Team Needs

Houston Texans

Quarterback
New regimes mean new quarterbacks. Matt Schaub was traded off to Oakland which opens the door for a new quarterback. Blake Bortels is the popular pick and has been linked to Bill O'Brien. But with there being no consensus top choice the Texans could always wait till the second round and take David Carr or Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garappalo.

Outside Linebacker
Brooks Reed will likely move inside, but even if he doesn't the Texans really lack anything besides Whitney Mercilus. Having the first pick they can fix it by taking Jadeveon Clowney or even Buffalo's Khalil Mack. But they need a quarterback more and could go with  BYU's Kyle Van Noy or Georgia Tech's Jeremiah Attaochu at thirty three.

Tight End
We know Bill O'Brien loves his tight ends.  He did it in New England and at Penn State.  Houston has Garrett Graham but need two more. Having the first pick of the second round they'll have a shot at Jace Amaro and Troy Niklas.  But Colorado State's Crockett Gillmore's is a name to keep an eye on in the third.

Guard
Wade Smith has given the Texans some quality production over the years, but he's still a free agent and past his prime. Add in that they're moving away from the zone blocking scheme they'll be looking for more physical blockers. O'Brien could look back to his Penn State days and take John Urschel in the fourth round.

Running back
The Texans need a running back because Arian Foster is injury prone and Ben Tate is now with Cleveland. But Bill O'Brien loves to run multiple backs. He did it in New England and Penn State.  Kent State's Dri Archer gives him a Danny Woodhead type weapon. Otherwise Florida State's James Wilder would also complement Foster well.

Indianapolis Colts

Guard
Protecting Andrew Luck is the highest priority. So when your owner calls out the offensive line, you know it's probably going to get attention. Right Guard Mike McGlynn was terrible last year and won't be back. The Colts could look to former Luck teammate David Yankey or even Clemson's Brandon Thomas on day two.

Center
Continuing with the offensive line, the Colts other big weakness is at center. Khaled Holmes was drafted late last year, but he isn't a long term answer. Phil Costa was brought in but he's just depth. They could go back to USC and take Marcus Martin's whose skill in the run game fits the Colts philosophy.

Outside Linebacker
Eric Walden was a big free agent for the Colts last year, but they wasted their money with him. Add in that Bjoern Werner being a poor schematic fit and the Colts should look to find another pass rusher opposite of Mathies. Arizona State's Carl Bradford is a better version of Walden and could be had in the fourth round.

Strong Safety
Losing Antoine Bethea is big because he's one of the elite. They could go two different ways to replace him. Targeting a strong safety like Washington State Deone Buccannon or USC's Dion Bailey on day two is one option. Or they could go with a free safety like Northern Illinois Jimmie Ward and move Laron Landry to strong safety.

Cornerback
Vontae Davis is one of the better cornerbacks in the league while Toler does alright. After that its all questions. Finding a starter would be great, but getting a good nickel back is a must. Jason Verrett of TCU has the cover skills needed for Pagano's system and should be available in the second because of his size.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Quarterback
Going into last off-season the Jaguars were confident in Blaine Gabbert, but then traded him for a sixth round pick. It's important that they find the right quarterback. Picking third they'll have a shot at one of the top quarterbacks. This could be the landing spot for Johnny Manziel because of Gus Bradley's experience with smaller playmakers while in Seattle.

Cornerback
With Gus Bradley helping build the Seahawks defense, he's gonna try to do the same here. To do so he needs those big corners.  Luckily he'll have some options on day two with Nebraska's Stanley Jean-Baptiste and Utah's Keith McGill who both stand 6'3. Later round options could be Lindenwood's Pier Desir or Liberty's Walt Aikens on day three.

Free Safety
Last year's second round pick Jonathan Cyprien is a keeper, but Bradley wants his own version of the Legion of Boom and lacks that Earl Thomas player. Lamarcus Joyner could be an option in the second round otherwise they may have to go with Antoine Exum of Virginia Tech or Joyner's teammate Terrence Brooks in the third and fourth rounds.

Outside Linebacker
The linebacker situation is a mess. Paul Posluszny is fine in the middle but both outside backers should go. Khalil Mack would give them a Von Miller type player at the strongside while Ohio State's Ryan Shazier would give them a run and tackle player at the weakside. Florida State's Christian Jones could give them a player to play both.

Wide Receiver
If Justin Blackman can get his personal life in order he might be able to live up to his potential.  In the meantime the Jaguars lack a legit number one receiver.  Sammie Watkins will get a serious look with the third pick.  Otherwise Clemson's Martavis Bryant or Fresno State's Davante Adams physical play would complement the Jaguars current speed receivers.

Tennessee Titans

Outside Linebacker
Before moving to the 3-4 the Titans lacked a good pass rusher, now with the switch the need is greater. Shaun Phillips was signed, but they need to find a dynamic rusher because Kamerion Wimbley has busted. UCLA's Anthony Barr could be their choice at pick eleven, or they could wait till round two and take Stanford's Trent Murphy.

Cornerback
Losing Alterrun Verner will hurt because he was their top cornerback. Tommie Campbell and Blidi Wreh-Wilson will compete for the starting spot, but neither is projected to be star. Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert or Michigan State's Darqueze Dennard are options at eleven. If they wait they could take Ohio State's Bradley Roby or Oregon's Terrence Mitchell on day two.

Running back
Chris Johnson is still on the roster, but his high salary and diminishing play isn't going to keep him there for long. Look for the Titans will be looking for a future starter considering Wisenhunt loves to run the ball. Ka'Deem Carey from Arizona or UCF's Storm Johnson could be options in the third or fourth rounds.

Nose Tackle
Moving to the 3-4 means they'll have to find a space eating nose tackle. Jurrell Casey is projected to start there, but he would be better at one of the ends. Notre Dame's Louis Nix could be had at eleven, but they'd be wise to wait for Penn State's DaQuan Jones in round three or even Louisiana Tech's Justin Ellis.

Quarterback
With a new head coach, Jake Locker is in limbo. He could either flourish under new guidance or be on the way out. He'll get this year to prove it. However if one of the top quarterbacks fall, they could go there. Likely take somebody late to develop like Georgia's Aaron Murray or Wyoming's Brett Smith.
