28. Baltimore (14-2) — Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama
Ruggs in an offense with Lamar Jackson? Opposing teams will be gassed. Ruggs has outrageous speed and elusiveness, just like Jackson. Ruggs may have to start as a gadget player in 2020, but he has the athleticism to develop into one of the league’s most dangerous deep threats.
29. Tennessee (9-7) — K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, LSU
If anyone can get the most out of a high-upside prospect like Chaisson, it’s Mike Vrabel. The Titans would embrace the LSU standout and put him at outside linebacker, where he’d replace Kamalei Correa, a pending free agent. Chaisson could end up in the Pro Bowl if he stays healthy (two ACL injuries in college).
30. Green Bay (13-3) — Josh Jones, OT, Houston
The team’s negotiations with tackle Bryan Bulaga aren’t looking good. Jones “needs plenty of work with his pass sets and footwork,” per NFL.com. But the issues shouldn’t take much correction. Jones figures to slot in as a starter in place of a potentially departing Bulaga.
31. San Francisco (13-3) — Grant Delpit, S, LSU
He disappointed in 2019, but his 2018 season (74 takes, 5 INTs, 5 sacks, 9 PBUs) was good enough to earn him a spot in the first round with the 49ers, who are in danger of losing safety Jimmie Ward in free agency. Delpit would be a natural replacement.
32. Kansas City (12-4) — Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame
After this pick, Patrick Mahomes would croak out belly laughter. The already-potent offense would be out of control. There’s a chance that Sammy Watkins may not return, so Kmet is an interesting solution to that problem. Andy Reid could adapt the offense to deploy more two tight end sets, which could be cheat-code dominant. Yes, this is a hyperbolic comparison, but there are snippets of Gronk in Kmet’s game.
