No. 16: Tampa Bay Buccaneers via New York Jets (via IND) – Kadyn Proctor, OL, Alabama
Proctor has some work to do with his technique at tackle, so why not mock him somewhere he can start from the jump at guard? Tampa Bay's offensive line would become a highly projectable young core with the addition of Proctor, while also giving him a pathway to reaching the potential that has him slated to be taken in the top half of the 1st round.
No. 17: Detroit Lions – Blake Miller, T, Georgia
The experienced Clemson lineman would definitely make life without Taylor Decker much easier for Detroit. He's someone who can come in as a rookie and survive on the outside against NFL defenders, allowing the Lions to attempt to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive through 2026 and beyond.
No. 18: Minnesota Vikings – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Newly signed QB Kyler Murray has routinely found success with vertical tight end concepts, and TJ Hockenson just isn't the player he once was. Sadiq is far and away the most dominant TE prospect on the board, giving Murray exactly that. He should give Justin Jefferson more favorable matchups as well, making this pick one that could have substantial ripple effects throughout their offense.
No. 19: Baltimore Ravens via Carolina Panthers – Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn
Getting that defense a proven run stopper with intriguing pass rush traits is a decision I'm sure Ravens fans would understand. Faulk is going to give opposing rushing attacks fits wherever he lands, and it's not hard to see why defensive coordinator Jesse Minter would be open to working with the former Auburn Tiger.
No. 20: Arizona Cardinals via Dallas Cowboys (via GB) – Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
Arizona scoops up both of Dallas' Day 1 selections in the deal, opting to bank on their development program as a means of getting their next long-term QB. Simpson here would offer the Cardinals 5 years of control over him, and they would recoup enough assets from Dallas to build out the rest of their roster as the draft progresses.
