Picks 13-16 are below.

---

No. 13 – Raiders – Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama

The selection and write-up were made by DawgPoundLV:

The Raiders could use an upgrade at multiple positions, but perhaps none greater than their secondary. Arnold comes off a season where he became the Crimson Tide’s best defensive back with five interceptions, 17 passes defended, and 12 pass break ups. While he is not the biggest player, he is very physical and runs a 4.5 40 time, so he has the speed. Arguably the best corner in this draft, Terrion Arnold fills a need and will be a great addition to Las Vegas.

No. 14 – Saints – Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State

The selection and write-up were made by Thomas Moore:

New Orleans needs a defensive end, but with the top two off the board in Dallas Turner and Jared Verse, the Saints pivot to the idea of slowing down opposing pass rushers with the selection of offensive tackle Olu Fashanu from Penn State. Fashanu still needs to develop his game as a run blocker, but his pass blocking is second to none as he did not allow a sack in college over 733 pass-block snaps, which should make quarterback Derek Carr and his eventual replacement sleep better at night knowing their blindside is protected.

No. 15 – Colts – Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa

The selection and write-up were made by JB92:

One of the most zone heavy teams in the takes a DB from one of the most zone heavy college teams. DeJean fits the Colts scheme perfectly really anywhere in the secondary. His ability to play in the slot, outside or at safety should give the Colts options as they build out their defense. DeJean was also a quality punt return man at Iowa I could see him potentially filling both return roles for the Colts. As a versatile chess piece DeJean could give the Colts a high end playmaker that they are currently lacking.

No. 16 – Seahawks – Troy Fautanu, OL, Washington

The selection and write-up were made Chris Pokorny:

Fautanu has the flexibility to play tackle or guard, and with the Seahawks needing more help interior, this is an easy pick for them, especially considering the coaching staff has previous ties to him. My other consideration for the Seahawks would have been an edge rusher, but the need for help on the offensive line trumps the defensive luxury.
