16. Atlanta Falcons

CJ Henderson | CB | Florida

LSU EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson once seemed like a logical selection here, but with the Falcons adding Dante Fowler in free agency, it’s clear Atlanta’s draft focus will be on replacing Desmond Trufant at cornerback.

17. Dallas Cowboys

Jeff Gladney | CB | TCU

Following the departure of Byron Jones and Chidobe Awuize’s regression last season, the Cowboys have a glaring need at cornerback. There will be a temptation to select Chaisson given his high ceiling, but Gladney gives Dallas a plug and play starter in the secondary.

18. Miami Dolphins (via PITT)

Josh Jones | OT | Houston

After getting their quarterback of the future in Justin Herbert, the Dolphins get the best remaining offensive tackle on the board to replace him.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (via CHI)

Xavier McKinney | S | Alabama

Make that two Alabama first-rounders for the Raiders. McKinney’s ball skills make him a natural fit in Las Vegas, as they allow Johnathan Abram to move off free safety and play more in the box.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (via LAR)

Austin Jackson | OT | USC

Jackson is raw but has a high ceiling. Considering the state of Jacksonville’s offensive tackle position, he is worth taking a chance on late in the first round.

21. Philadelphia Eagles

Justin Jefferson | WR | LSU

Eagles fans rejoice as they finally get a competent wide receiver to line up opposite Alshon Jeffery. Jefferson is an excellent value pick, as he would have been a top receiver off the board in any other draft class.

22. Minnesota Vikings (via BUF)

A.J. Epenesa | DL | Iowa

Minnesota uses the pick it got from the Bills in the Stefon Diggs trade to fill the void left by Everson Griffen’s departure. Epenesa has a dangerous mix of strength and quickness that will make him a weapon opposite Danielle Hunter.

23. New England Patriots

Yetur Gross-Matos | DE | Penn State

If the Patriots really are sold on Jarrett Stidham as their replacement for Tom Brady, Gross-Matos makes sense for New England at No. 23. Bill Belichick was able to mold Trey Flowers into an upper-echelon defensive end. Gross-Matos projects similarly.

24. New Orleans Saints

Jordan Love | QB | Utah State

Love’s tumble stops here, as Payton takes a crack at landing Drew Brees’ successor late in the first round.

25. Minnesota Vikings

Jaylon Jefferson | CB | Utah

The Vikings fill another need at No. 25 by selecting the best remaining cornerback on the board. Minnesota could be tempted to go with a wide receiver here, but with such a deep receiver class, it can afford to wait on day two for a wideout to replace Stefon Diggs.

26. Miami Dolphins

Jeremy Chinn | S | Southern Illinois

Chinn might not be a household name just yet, but a strong Senior Bowl and showing at the NFL draft combine has sent his stock flying through the roof. Think Derwin James or, to a lesser extent, Minkah Fitzpatrick when finding a comparison for the Southern Illinois product.

27. Seattle Seahawks

Antoine Winfield Jr. | S | Minnesota

The Seahawks would have liked to land Chinn at No. 27, but Winfield isn’t a bad consolation prize to fill their need at safety.

28. Baltimore Ravens

Kenneth Murray | LB | Oklahoma

Murray’s old-school physicality mixed with his new-school style of play makes him a perfect fit with the Ravens. His intangibles and reputation as a leader will make him well-liked in Baltimore from day one.

29. Tennessee Titans

K’Lavon Chaisson | EDGE | LSU

The Titans et a steal at No. 23, as Chaisson slides late into the first round. He is still a bit raw, but Chaisson is the kind of player Mike Vrabel can mold into a star coming off the edge.

30. Green Bay Packers

Denzel Mims | WR | Baylor

The Packers added Devin Funchess in free agency, but they still need help at wide receiver. Mims gives Green Bay a wideout that can take the top off the defense and get the job done running routes underneath.

31. San Francisco 49ers

Cesar Ruiz | C | Michigan

The 49ers need a cornerback, but selecting one here would be a reach. That leaves two options: trade back or address the most important position on Kyle Shanahan’s offensive line.

32. Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Queen | LB | LSU

The Chiefs will likely trade out of the first round to amass more draft capital. If they don’t, Queen is a solid fit at inside linebacker with his high football I.Q.
