No. 6: Cleveland Browns – Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
Now this is where things get controversial. Jordyn Tyson has been a polarizing prospect throughout the pre-draft process, with his evaluation only getting more complex with recent, somewhat concerning injury news about his lengthy hamstring recovery process. However, the talent is real, and Cleveland needs it. With their pick of the litter of wide receiver prospects, they could seek out a pure dominator on the outside to fuel their offensive makeover.
No. 7: Washington Commanders – Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami
Another pick that has steadily gained traction in recent weeks and months, Washington taking the best pass rusher available is a good bet. Signing Odafe Oweh in free agency was a massive decision, both financially and roster-wise, allowing Ruen Bain Jr., if he ends up being the pick at No.7, to come in and see favorable blocking assignments. The arm length concerns shouldn't be blown out of proportion, and this would be a winning selection for the Commanders.
No. 8: New Orleans Saints – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU
"The best in the boot stay in the boot" has been a rallying cry for LSU recruiting, but why not keep it going at the NFL level? Mansoor Delane might be the top cornerback prospect in the class, and he's surely one of the steadiest. New Orleans has a gap in their secondary with the departure of Alontae Taylor, who signed with Tennessee as a free agent. They could attempt to fill that gap and solidify an effective cornerback duo by pairing the former Louisiana star with Kool-Aid McKinstry on the boundary.
No. 9: Kansas City Chiefs – Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson
Another pick that would be a substantial surprise, Avieon Terrell is viewed by many as in that second tier of cornerbacks behind Delane and Jermod McCoy, but he's a player who has been mocked to Kansas City at No. 29 a considerable amount. They might wind up loving the player enough to draft him earlier than consensus, and the brother of Falcons' AJ Terrell could be tasked with being the successor to Trent McDuffie.
No. 10: Cincinnati Bengals – Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami
Francis Mauigoa falling to 10 would be a huge win for Cincinnati, and would have the chance to be a "sprint the draft card to the podium" type of selection. The Miami tackle has maintained a Top-10 draft stock, with experts predicting him landing as high as No. 3 with Arizona. This gives the Bengals a franchise OT and a player they can build around on the offensive line.
