21. Dallas Cowboys
Raekwon Davis | DL | Alabama
Trysten Hill is showing promise, but the Cowboys still need another disruptive force for the interior of their defensive line. Davis is a much more complete player than he was a year ago, making him look wise for returning to school in 2019. He’s a versatile defender who can line up anywhere and make an impact.
22. Miami Dolphins (from PIT)
Laviska Shenault, Jr. | WR | Colorado
After getting their franchise quarterback, the Dolphins need to surround him with as much help as possible. There’s not much value in terms of offensive line help here, so Miami tabs one of the most complete pass-catchers in the draft in Shenault, who excels at breaking tackles and making big plays after the catch.
23. Miami Dolphins (from HOU)
Jonathan Taylor | RB | Wisconsin
Few (if any) teams need an upgrade in the backfield more than the Dolphins, and this scenario lets them have their pick of a deep, talented class. With three first-round picks, they can afford the luxury of using one at running back, where they land one of the most productive runners in college football history.
24. 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.
25. Buffalo Bills
K’Lavon Chaisson | EDGE | LSU
A defensive coach like Sean McDermott loves getting raw talent he can mold into a star, and that’s exactly what Chaisson brings to the table. A long, athletic pass rusher with a wide range of moves already, Chaisson could quickly develop into an impact player.
26. Kansas City Chiefs
Trevon Diggs | CB | Alabama
This secondary needs a true shutdown artist, and the Chiefs love corners with length, athleticism and physicality. Diggs brings all of those traits to the table, and while the Crimson Tide defense has underwhelmed this season, he’s shown flashes of potential that make him first-round worthy.
27. Green Bay Packers
Dylan Moses | LB | Alabama
This defense desperately needs a difference-maker at linebacker who can make plays all over the field. A top-10 prospect before a knee injury stole his entire 2019 season, Moses would be a huge steal here once he’s back to full strength.
28. Seattle Seahawks
Paulson Adebo | CB | Stanford
The rebuild of the “Legion of Boom” is still ongoing, and the Seahawks need another playmaker at corner to help round things out. Adebo has all the tools NFL teams love at this premium position, and he’s polished enough to be an immediate starter.
29. New England Patriots
Yetur Gross-Matos | EDGE | Penn State
The Pats do their best drafting when they let the board fall to them, prioritizing value over need. That’s what happens here, as they grab one of the most talented edge rushers in this year’s class, who could easily end up being a top-20 pick.
30. New Orleans Saints
Jalen Hurts | QB | Oklahoma
Who knows if Drew Brees or Teddy Bridgewater will be back in 2020, so the Saints need to start thinking about a new quarterback. Even if Brees returns for a swan song next season, Hurts would be the perfect understudy to the future Hall of Famer.
31. Baltimore Ravens
D’Andre Swift | RB | Georgia
This rushing attack is already the league’s most terrifying, but Mark Ingram won’t play forever, and Justice Hill is better suited as a change-of-pace back. Swift is big, powerful and explosive, and would be even more dangerous than normal lining up next to Lamar Jackson.
32. San Francisco 49ers
Travis Etienne | RB | Clemson
There are bigger needs elsewhere on both sides of the ball, but this team can afford a luxury pick here. Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman are a fantastic 1-2 punch in this backfield, but their contracts are expiring soon. Etienne’s explosiveness and three-down skill set would be the perfect match with a creative offensive coach like Kyle Shanahan.
