1.17, Los Angeles Chargers: Drake London, WR, USC

The LA Chargers had a good season that faded at the very end that almost saw them reach the playoffs. They are a promising young team with a bright future that will need to address some needs during the offseason. One of their starting receivers will likely be departing the team and bringing in a monster like Drake London would be a big addition.

1.18, New Orleans Saints: Sam Howell, QB, North Carolina

New Orleans has holes all over the roster and that pile will continue further as their massive cap issue goes along. They could always stick with a quarterback on their roster now and suffer the consequences but getting a young guy in the building would be a better option.

Sam Howell is someone that the Steelers are interested in but he has concerns after his lackluster season in 2021 that might scare other clubs away.

1.19, Philadelphia Eagles: David Ojabo, Edge, Michigan

The Philadelphia Eagles could trade back from here as they choose to stay in this instance and pick their third first-round selection of the night. They go defense here again as they look to bolster their pass rush on defense. That unit hasn’t been the same since their Super Bowl win and they will try to build that back by getting a great player that is lurking in the shadows of this class.
