6. Los Angeles Chargers
Justin Herbert | QB | Oregon
The Philip Rivers era is limping to a halt, so it’s time for the Bolts to find a successor for the future Hall of Famer. Herbert went back to school to polish his skill set, and while he’s still somewhat inconsistent, he’s got more than enough tools to work with, and he should end up being a top-10 pick.
7. Carolina Panthers
Jeff Okudah | CB | Ohio State
The Panthers lost the last eight games of their 2019 season, but they may just get this year’s best corner for their trouble. With James Bradberry heading into free agency this offseason, getting a polished playmaker like Okudah to replace him would be a fantastic scenario.
8. Arizona Cardinals
CeeDee Lamb | WR | Oklahoma
This may come as a surprise to some, but even with Jerry Jeudy still on the board, I’m betting Kyler Murry would be able to convince Kliff Kingsbury to make his college teammate the first receiver off the board. Lamb is a complete player who would make an immediate impact.
9. Jacksonville Jaguars
Jerry Jeudy | WR | Alabama
This is a fantastic scenario for the Jags, who desperately need a dynamic pass-catcher like Jeudy, and are still able to land him as the second receiver off the board. Jeudy’s explosiveness and precise route-running ability will make him a big-play machine at the next level.
10. Cleveland Browns
Tristan Wirfs | OT | Iowa
After a hugely disappointing season, the Browns need to start their bounce-back by rebuilding the offensive line in front of Baker Mayfield. Wirfs would be a fantastic first step in that direction, giving Mayfield an immediate upgrade at either tackle spot.
