Round 1

Picks 17-31
17. Steelers: Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma

The Steelers have had offensive line questions for years and need to sure up the blindside if they want to help Kenny Pickett succeed. Harrison is one of the better pass protectors in this class and with some work on his run blocking can be a stalwart left tackle for Pittsburgh.


18. Lions: Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson

After selecting their QB of the future earlier, the Lions can turn their focus to an interior D-line that needs a lot of help. Bresee was at one time viewed as a top 5 talent but injuries slowed down his career at Clemson. Despite that, he's shown natural ability as both a pass rusher and run defender while also possessing the hard nosed demeanor that Dan Campbell loves in his defenders.


19. Buccaneers: Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia

The Bucs have holes all over the place including edge. Smith is undersized, but was extremely impressive at the combine. He's the kind of 3-4 edge rusher that Todd Bowles covets and would be an excellent fit in Tampa.


20. Cowboys: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

TRADE - Bijan Robinson is potentially a top 5 player in this class, and with Tony Pollard coming off a major injury and Zeke released, the Cowboys move up to get a franchise runningback in Robinson.


21. Chargers: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College

The Chargers receiver room was once thought to be a strength but the lack of speed on the unit is noticeable. Here the Chargers help Justin Herbert out a bit by picking a speedster in Flowers to compliment Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.


22. Ravens: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State

The Lamar Jackson situation is weird but regardless of what happens at QB, the Ravens receiver room needs massive upgrades. Rashod Bateman (who is always injured) and Devin Duvernay simply can't be your best options. Baltimore can turn to JSN who has very steady hands and is a refined route runner a-la Amon-Ra St. Brown.


23. Vikings: Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland

The Vikings secondary was swiss cheese last season and despite multiple early round investments in the corner room over the years, they need to go back to the well again. Banks is flying up draft boards and would be an instant starter for the Vikes.


24. Jaguars: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State

Tyson Campbell emerged as a legit CB1 this season, but Shaquill Griffin was cut in the off-season. The Jags will need to find a running mate for Campbell and Porter fits the bill. Porter has a special size-speed combo and elite ball skills. He may not have superstar potential but his floor is one of the highest of the round 1 corners.


25. Giants: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

The run on corners continues as the Giants select Cam Smith. They've done a good job this off-season in acquiring weapons for the offense which allows them to turn their attention to the secondary. While their corner room isn't terrible, it lacks consistency, which is exactly what Smith brings to the table.


26. Seahawks: O'Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida

After addressing their pass rush earlier, Seattle shores up their offensive line with the best guard in the class. They paid Geno to be their guy, now they have to protect him.


27. Bills: Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State

The Bills O-line was terrible in the playoffs and was a chief reason for their offensive ineptitude against the Bengals. Jones can slide in and immediately start at right tackle.


28. Bengals: Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

After signing Orlando Brown, the Bengals are in position to address the departure of Hayden Hurst. Mayer won't wow you with his athleticism, but he's a solid receiver and good blocker who plays the role of a prototypical tight end.


29. Saints: Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh

The Saints lost a lot of talent on the interior of their front 7. Although Kancey is undersized, he actually profiles very similarly to former Pitt alum Aaron Donald. While he obviously isn't Donald, he is still a very solid pass rusher who can provide a spark in the middle and help fill up the massive holes the Saints allowed last season.


30. Eagles: Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson

The Eagles struggled to generate pass rush against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Granted, that's a very good offensive line, but Brandon graham is aging and Howie Roseman loves to address needs before they become needs. Murphy has ideal size and length and already has a solid repertoire of pass rush moves at his disposal.


31. Chiefs: Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee

After losing Orlando Brown and Andrew Wylie, the Chiefs need a new tackle to pair with Jawaan Taylor.
