NFL draft predictions for all 32 teams

— -- It's officially draft week, and our NFL Nation reporters are here to give a prediction for every team. 

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills: Coach Rex Ryan will select a Clemson defensive end, either Shaq Lawson or Kevin Dodd, in the first round. Instead of the Bills presenting their newest player with a Buffalo jersey, either Lawson or Dodd will give Ryan a Clemson jersey at the opening news conference. Ryan, whose son Seth is a walk-on at Clemson, will then guarantee that the Tigers will win the national championship in 2016. -- Mike Rodak

AFC NORTH

Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore will draft Ole Miss offensive tackle  Laremy Tunsil. Not long ago, it would've been absurd to suggest this. But after the Rams and Eagles traded up for the top two spots, Baltimore will either get Tunsil or an elite defender with the No. 6 pick. Considering it's the 20th anniversary of the Ravens landing Jonathan Ogden, fate says the draft's top-rated left tackle once again falls to Baltimore. -- Jamison Hensley

AFC SOUTH

Houston Texans: The Texans will draft a wide receiver to add a burst of speed to quarterback Brock Osweiler's arsenal. This is a dimension the Texans' offense lacked last season and one that might have helped their army of quarterbacks. -- Tania Ganguli

AFC WEST

Denver Broncos: The Broncos will almost certainly take a safety before the first two days of the draft are done. They also will take a long look at the offensive and defensive linemen on the board. But if the right safety slid down to them in the first round, they would use the No. 31 pick to grab him. -- Jeff Legwold

NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys will pass on a quarterback in the first round. Despite all the talk about finding a successor for Tony Romo, who turned 36 last week, and at the very least a backup for 2016, Jerry Jones believes he has a team that can win now and needs a few pieces to help. Drafting a quarterback with the No. 4 pick would only help in the short term if Romo were to get hurt again. But does anybody believe a rookie would step in and lead this team to the playoffs? That doesn't mean the Cowboys will ignore the position; they will eventually take a quarterback in this draft. -- Todd Archer

NFC NORTH

Chicago Bears: The Bears will draft a defensive player in Round 1. The exact position is difficult to pinpoint based on the draft's fluid nature, but Chicago has clear needs at defensive line, edge rusher and cornerback. If quarterbacks Jared Goff and Carson Wentz fly off the board, as expected, the Bears should be positioned to take a ready-to-contribute upgrade on defense. -- Jeff Dickerson

NFC SOUTH

Atlanta Falcons: With only five picks, the Falcons will trade the No. 17 overall pick to get a later pick in the first round and possibly pick up a third-rounder, since Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff believes there's value in the first three rounds. With that later first-round pick, the Falcons will take Arkansas tight end Hunter Henry, giving them a Greg Olsen-type threat. -- Vaughn McClure

NFC WEST

Arizona Cardinals: At some point late Friday or Saturday -- basically any time after the second round -- the Cardinals will select a quarterback. But not just any quarterback. The fortunate signal-caller to be groomed by Bruce Arians, Tom Moore and  Carson Palmer will stand at least 6-foot-4 and have a strong arm. This is the year the Cardinals can find a legitimate option to start preparing as the future at QB. -- Josh Weinfuss
