And with the No. 12 pick in the draft ... just about everyone in the country nailed their mock draft pick! It's Louisville DT Sheldon Rankins to the Saints – a versatile run defender/pass defender who can help a team that greatly needs to improve its defense against both the run and the pass.

So far the NFC South is going defense to close the gap on the Panthers. Tampa Bay gets CB Vernon Hargreaves III and New Orleans takes DT Sheldon Rankins. Wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta and Carolina stick with this theme.
The Lions are giving Matthew Stafford protection, taking Ohio State OT Taylor Decker with the No. 16 pick. Decker can play RT immediately and had a good chance to be a LT by 2017 with Riley Reiff in a contract year.
