As the first round comes to its conclusion, we are examining playoff teams looking to continue to add pieces that will make them a championship caliber team. Their current squad is good, but all but one team came up short of the ultimate goal. In part III of our mock draft series, Heavy takes a look at picks 22-32. You can find part I (picks 1-10) and part II (picks 11-21) here. One of the strengths of this draft class is running back. Heavy has two running backs going in this range making a total of four first round running backs. Another position that is strong in 2017 is tight end. We have three tight ends being selected in the first round. While this is not the strongest draft for offensive lineman, this is about the range fans can start to expect the top players at the position to come off the board. We have two lineman being selected at the end of the first round. Teams looking to grab a quarterback in this range may be disappointed with DeShone Kizer, Deshaun Watson and Mitch Tribisky long gone. There is a bit of separation between those three quarterbacks and the rest of the class. With the NFL Combine beginning next week, we are in the stretch run of the draft process with just about two months until the draft begins on April 27. Like the Senior Bowl, the Combine will allow players to move up draft boards based on their performance in Indianapolis.

No. 22 Miami Dolphins: DE Taco Charlton
School: Michigan
Position: Defensive End
Class: Senior
Outlook: Charlton will give an NFL team a versatile pass rusher. He can put his hand in the dirt, but also has the ability to come off the edge standing up. At 6'6" and 272 pounds, he has the size and extremely long arms NFL teams love at defensive end. His sack numbers increased every year at Michigan. Charlton finished his senior season with 10 sacks. While he is a bit raw, particularly in defending the run, he has enough physical tools that an NFL team will snag him in the first round. The Dolphins are looking to continue revamping their defense, and Charlton helps Miami replace some of the veterans they cut ties with this off-season. (Getty)
No. 23 New York Giants: RB Alvin Kamara
School: Tennessee
Position: Running Back
Class: Junior
Outlook: Kamara was one of the pleasant surprises of last college football season. Kamara started the season behind Jalen Hurd, who ended up transferring after being outplayed by Kamara. He has a smaller sample size than some of the other running backs in this talented class. This could work to his advantage as he has less wear and tear on his body than other backs. Kamara only had 103 carries for 595 yards and nine touchdowns this season. In limited action, he showed flashes of what he can become. He has a knack for breaking tackles and is rarely tackled by the first player to hit him. He's also great in the passing game with 392 receiving yards and four touchdowns. The Giants are on the market for another running back after cutting Rashad Jennings. Kamara would give them another young running back to pair with Paul Perkins. (Getty)
No. 24 Oakland Raiders: RB Christian McCaffrey
School: Stanford
Position: Running Back
Class: Junior
Outlook: The Raiders production at running back has been hit or miss. Latavius Murray is a free agent, and it is unclear whether Oakland will look to bring him back. Even if Murray returns, McCaffrey is a much different style runner than Murray. McCaffrey gives the Raiders a dynamic playmaker they have been missing in the backfield. He can be used heavily in the passing game as well as special teams. McCaffrey is more than capable of being used as a featured running back. He is one of the most polarizing players in this draft class. He battled injuries his junior season and did not have the type of year many expected. If you look at his sophomore season, teams can see the type of athlete McCaffrey is and the added dimension he will give an offense. In 2015, he rushed for over 2,000 yards and had 645 receiving yards. Derek Carr would love to have an addition like McCaffrey to the offense. (Getty)
No. 25 Houston Texans: T Ryan Ramczyk
School: Wisconsin
Position: Tackle
Class: Junior
Outlook: This is not the best draft for teams looking to address offensive line, but this is a good spot for the Texans to select a tackle. There are few better pedigrees than an offensive lineman coming out of Wisconsin. Ramczyk has great size at 6'6" and 314 pounds. He is battling Utah's Garett Bolles to be the top tackle taken in April's draft. The Texans have a lot of holes to fill, but giving Brock Osweiler better protection could only help his production. Quarterback should not be ruled out, but the top three quarterbacks will most likely already be off the board at 25. The next tier of quarterbacks would be a reach at this spot. (Getty)
No. 26 Seattle Seahawks: CB Quincy Wilson
School: Florida
Position: Cornerback
Class: Junior
Outlook: This was one of the most puzzling Seahawks team in the Pete Carroll era. Seattle lacked consistency but still just missed out on a top two seed in the playoffs. The Seahawks have holes to fill including improving their offensive line and also need to strengthen their defense that has lost some of its bite. Seattle must improve their secondary and this is a great draft to address the need. There's a good chance Quincy Wilson could be a top-15 pick. If he still available at this point, he is the best corner available for the Seahawks to select. There are other corners with more size, but at 6'1" Wilson has adequate size to fit what Seattle looks for. Seattle could look to bolster their offensive line here, but used last year's first rounder on Germain Ifedi. The Seahawks may need to look at adding a veteran to the line rather than another rookie.

No. 27 Kansas City Chiefs: DE Charles Harris
School: Missouri
Position: Defensive End
Class: Junior
Outlook: Missouri has been churning out defensive lineman over the past several years, and Harris is the next player in line to come out of Mizzou. The Chiefs defensive core is aging, and the team would be wise to use some of their draft capital to add young depth. Harris has an explosive first step that allows him to get to the quarterback. He finished last season with 61 tackles and nine sacks. Harris had 16 sacks in his final two seasons at Missouri. The Chiefs could also look at the best available linebacker with this pick. (Getty)

No. 29 Green Bay Packers: CB Sidney Jones
School: Washington
Position: Cornerback
Class: Junior
Outlook: Jones teamed with another draft prospect, Budda Baker, to form one of the best secondaries in college football. Jones does not have eye-popping stats but has as much impact on the game as any other corner in this draft class. He had just eight interceptions in his three years at Washington. Where Jones excels is in coverage. While the Packers secondary made strides during the second half of the season, Green Bay is in desperate need of an overhaul as the Falcons exposed their corners during the playoffs. Jones has the potential to be the team's top corner and has a knack for knowing where the ball is at all times. The Packers should have plenty of great corners to choose from at this spot given the depth of the position in this draft class. (Getty)
No. 30 Pittsburgh Steelers: LB Ryan Anderson
School: Alabama
Position: Linebacker
Class: Senior
Outlook: The Steelers defensive rebuild has been a work in progress over the past few off-seasons. With the talent Pittsburgh has on the offensive side, the defense continues to be the weak link. Anderson flew a bit under the radar this season at Alabama with the amount of talent on the roster, but Anderson came up with key plays in the Crimson Tide's most important games this season. Anderson finished the senior season with 61 tackles and 8.5 sacks. Alabama used Anderson all over the field. He can play as a traditional linebacker in addition to being an edge rusher. Anderson displays surprising quickness especially when rushing the passer. (Getty)
No. 31 Atlanta Falcons: DE Takkarist McKinley
School: UCLA
Position: Defensive End
Class: Senior
Outlook: As Falcons fans recover from one of the most disappointing losses in Super Bowl history, the franchise has a long off-season ahead as they try to build a team capable of making another deep run. The Falcons defense is on the verge of being one of the better units in the league, but its youth means Atlanta still has a little ways to go. The Falcons are stockpiling elite athletes on defense, and McKinley fits that mold. He brings the kind of speed Dan Quinn covets coming off the edge. McKinley finished his senior campaign with 10 sacks and 61 tackles. Quinn is looking to build a defense similar to the one he had in Seattle that overwhelms opposing teams with speed, ferocity and athleticism. (Getty)
No. 32 New England Patriots: T Cam Robinson
School: Alabama
Position: Tackle
Class: Junior
Outlook: Robinson was once thought to be a top 10 pick, but a couple factors have led to Robinson having no guarantees of being a first round pick. There was an off-field incident last off-season where Robinson was arrested. The charges were later dropped, but it is not the kind of thing you want to happen when you are considered one of the best prospects in the upcoming draft. More than this incident, Robinson's play has been inconsistent causing him to have other offensive lineman that could be selected above him. No one questions his talent and at 6'6"/327 pounds he has the size to be an NFL tackle. Bill Belichick has shown a propensity to take chances on players with the idea they can succeed in the Patriots environment. Robinson also has the benefit of being coached by Nick Saban. (Getty)
