26. Minnesota Vikings
CJ Henderson | CB | Florida
This secondary has been one of the league’s most unpleasant surprises, considering the money and draft resources the Vikings have invested in recent years. Mike Zimmer isn’t afraid to keep targeting talented corners, and he gets another one here.
27. Miami Dolphins (from HOU)
Mekhi Becton | OT | Louisville
This might be a bit of a reach, but the Dolphins desperately need to come out of this first round with an offensive tackle to replace Laremy Tunsil. Becton has a massive frame and long arms, with rare athleticism for his size and impressive footwork. He could easily sneak into the first round and be Tagovailoa’s franchise left tackle for years to come.
28. Seattle Seahawks
Raekwon Davis | DL | Alabama
Free agency could decimate this defensive line this offseason, so don’t be surprised if the Seahawks opt for cheaper, younger talent in the draft to replace whatever they lose on the open market. Davis is huge, athletic, and versatile, and is ready to make an immediate impact.
29. Kansas City Chiefs
Jonathan Taylor | RB | Wisconsin
There are bigger needs on defense, but the Chiefs have the opportunity to take the best running back in a deep class. Taylor is a complete player who would give Patrick Mahomes yet another dynamic weapon, helping balance one of the league’s most explosive offenses.
30. Green Bay Packers
Kenneth Murray | LB | Oklahoma
This defense desperately needs a difference-maker at linebacker who can make plays all over the field. Murray has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Sooners since the moment he arrived in Norman, and would no doubt continue his dominance at the next level.
31. San Francisco 49ers
Paulson Adebo | CB | Stanford
Richard Sherman has proven he’s still one of the NFL’s best corners, but it would be wise to find an understudy in this draft. Why not go back to Sherman’s alma mater for Adebo, an athletic cover man with the smarts and technique to quickly develop into a difference-maker.
