1.13, Cleveland Browns: Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia

The Cleveland Browns were one of the biggest disappointments in 2021 but they will have a chance to improve their solid roster even more. They will be in the market for a starting linebacker on their defense and they get a solid value pick here by selecting Nakobe Dean. He was a big part of that Nation Championship team at Georgia.

1.14, Baltimore Ravens: Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M

The Baltimore Ravens also had an underwhelming season as many projected them to win the AFC North division. They need to build up the offensive line and adding a swiss-army-knife like Kenyon Green will help stabilize the front. He can play anywhere but center but he is better off as a guard in the NFL.

1.15, Philadelphia Eagles: Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

The Philadelphia Eagles could also be a trade option here with back-to-back selections, especially if one of the top quarterbacks begins to fall. They need a corner opposite of Darius Slay and they get one of the top players with Ahmad Gardner.

He has all the tools to be one of the best corners in the league as long as he can also chip in to stop the run when called upon. This corner will be a name to remember if he is still sitting there when the Steelers are selecting someone.

1.16, Philadelphia Eagles: Jameson Williams, WR, Alabama

The Eagles have enough draft capital where they can take a potential gamble here. Jameson Williams is the best receiver in this class when healthy but he just tore his ACL in the championship game in early January. His medical report will need to check out but adding him to an already solid receiving group will make Jalen Hurts life much easier.
