No. 16: New York Jets (via IND) – Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana
Keep the wide receiver run coming! After investing in defense with their first pick, New York upgrades their WR corps with the ever-steady Omar Cooper Jr. Bringing in the national champion to work behind Garrett Wilson and form an improved supporting cast for Geno Smith's reunion would be a logical decision. He can line up as a Y or Z receiver and infuse their offensive scheme with more talent, which is never a bad move.
No. 17: Detroit Lions – Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia
Monroe Freeling, like Mauigoa, could be picked much earlier than the late teens, but if he falls, this would be a slam-dunk pick for a Detroit team that just released longtime OT Taylor Decker. Freeling's athletic profile is highly impressive, and his developmental path could lead to the formation of a top tackle duo in football alongside Penei Sewell.
No. 18: Minnesota Vikings – Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon
Dillon Thieneman is a clean fit for a team facing a future without franchise legend Harrison Smith, and would bolster their secondary in a big way. He put up some stellar results at the NFL Combine, and the film matches the metrics. The Ducks' defender should be a player who can anchor the back end of a defense for years to come, and Minnesota would benefit heavily from adding him in the first round of the draft.
No. 19: Carolina Panthers – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Let's have fun by giving Bryce Young one of the most eye-popping athletes in the draft with Kenyon Sadiq. His combine showing was historically impressive, and he has the upside to become one of the NFL's most dangerous receiving threats at tight end, and fast. Giving Young another target to work with, and one that can tear apart defenses at an elite level, could help unlock that next step in his development and take advantage of a weak NFC South.
No. 20: Dallas Cowboys (via GB) – Caleb Banks, DL, Florida
After trading away a pair of their interior defensive linemen in the last week, and with multiple 1st round picks to play with, the Cowboys restocking the position only makes sense. Caleb Banks is another athletic freak, possessing natural pass-rushing abilities to disrupt the pocket at a high rate. If he can avoid stacking up injuries, his skills would give Dallas an effective running mate next to Quinnen Williams and an overall force to their pass rush.
