No. 21: Pittsburgh Steelers – Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
The Steelers say thank you Jets and selection Alabama’s Ty Simpson with the No. 21 overall pick in the draft. Under the coaching of new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy, Simpson will get a chance to develop. The question is, how soon will he be a starter in a Steelers’ uniform?
No. 22: Miami Dolphins via Los Angeles Chargers – Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo
The Dolphins send No. 30, and a mid-round pick the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for pick No. 22. With the pick, the Dolphins select former Toledo Safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren to help fill the void at safety after the Minkah Fitzpatrick departure. McNeil-Warren is great as a “robber” type defender and is a safety who can play down in the box against the run.
No. 23: Philadelphia Eagles – Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
The Eagles added Hollywood Brown in free agency and will spark more debate regarding the A.J. Brown with the selection of Denzel Boston with the No. 23 overall pick. A big, physical receiver, Boston will provide a big target down the field and if the team finally moves on from A.J. Brown, he will help fill that void.
No. 24: Cleveland Browns via Jacksonville – Blake Miller, T, Clemson
The Browns fill a need at left tackle with the selection of Blake Miller who has been rising in this draft. Miller not only helps provide some stability and depth at the tackle spot for the Browns but will project as the long-term solution at the position.
No. 25: Chicago Bears – Peter Woods, DL, Clemson
A versatile defensive line with a high upside, the Chicago Bears draft potential with the selection of Peter Woods at No. 25. A force in the middle who can also make an impact off the edge, Woods provides a high-reward gamble for the Bears towards the end of the draft.
