No. 16: New York Jets (via IND) – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
The Jets aren't in a franchise position to make luxury picks, but Sadiq can be much more than just your average tight end. Mason Taylor was decent in his rookie year, but wasn't exactly a top-end complementary piece. Sadiq can be that, with the ceiling capable of taking over a game on offense. Garrett Wilson already has the WR1 role locked up, and defenses will have headaches trying to stop them both, no matter who's throwing the ball.
No. 17: Detroit Lions – Kadyn Proctor, OT, Alabama
Dan Campbell not doing everything in his power to ensure that Detroit has a top-of-the-line OL would be shocking, and they currently have a gap at tackle. Proctor could end up as one of the premier players in the draft if he's developed correctly, and no one is doubting the Lions' ability to bring out the best in offensive linemen.
No. 18: Minnesota Vikings – Peter Woods, DL, Clemson
The interior of the Vikings' defensive line is thin and could become a legitimate issue if their current group of players doesn't perform far above expectations. Woods would not only add to their all-around pass rush production, but could also elevate the overall effectiveness of the rest of the front seven, simply by giving offenses another player to deal with.
No. 19: Carolina Panthers – Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
Tre'von Moehrig and Nick Scott are serviceable as a safety duo, but that could be exactly why Carolina goes after Thieneman at #19. The Oregon defensive back is a sideline-to-sideline playmaker, and the Panthers could unleash him however he wishes. Having that extra defender who can shut down the run and limit the pass would keep improving their defensive unit, especially as they look to combat a new-look NFC South.
No. 20: Dallas Cowboys (via GB) – Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech
Getting Downs was a phenomenal start at #12, and now I see Dallas taking Rodriguez to put the finishing touches on their linebacker room. He can force turnovers and has the instincts to clean up plays that the defensive line may miss, a trait that the Cowboys desperately need after an abysmal defensive showing in 2025.
