Mike Zimmer's first draft pick as an NFL head coach came in the form of UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr. Regarded as one of the top defensive prospects, Barr came in at No. 22 on SB Nation's top 200 big board, second among all outside linebackers behind only Khalil Mack.
In 2013, Barr recorded 20 tackles for loss and 10 sacks en route to being named a 2013 All-American

The Detroit Lions added another pass-catcher in the form of of North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron, who was No. 2 in the nation among tight ends with 62 receptions for 973 yards last year. For his efforts, he was named a second-team AP All-American and a first-team All-ACC performer.
As for the Titans who are picking at No. 11, they 'almost' traded that pick:
Cleveland made a strong effort to trade up again to No. 11 just now. But ultimately, Browns just bailed. Titans picking.
