No. 11: Miami Dolphins – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU

The first cornerback off the board goes to the Miami Dolphins with the No. 11 overall pick.  With the selection of LSU’s Mansoor Delane, the Dolphins get a player who can grow into a shutdown corner with his press coverage skills.


No. 12: Arizona Cardinals, via Dallas – Spencer Fano, T, Utah

The Cardinals have desperate needs along the offensive line, and they address that with the first of two first round picks they now have in this draft.  Spencer Fano not only brings athleticism to the line at the tackle position, but he is also a great run blocker and will be an upgrade as a pass protector whether Kyler Murray is behind center or another QB.  Getting Fano here makes the big trade with the Cowboys make sense.


No. 13: Cleveland Browns, via L.A. Rams– Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

The Browns continue to add draft capital with smart trades.  In selecting Jordyn Tyson at No. 13, via a trade with the Rams, the Browns get a player they could’ve possibly taken at No. 6.  In Tyson, they get that big outside receiver who has a ceiling to become the team’s No. 1 receiver…as long as he’s healthy.


No. 14: Baltimore Ravens – Peter Woods, DL, Clemson

Peter Woods to the Baltimore Ravens is a match made in NFL heaven for both sides.  Woods will have something to prove at the NFL level as he does have the talent to be a game wrecker along the defensive line.  A projected top 5 pick prior to the 2025 college football season, Woods’ stock has fallen a bit, but he falls into the right situation here.


No. 15: Tampa Bay Buccaneers – CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

The Buccaneers take care of their linebacker needs with the selection of CJ Allen.  As a player who was considered the heartbeat of the Bulldogs defense is in line to become that same type of player down in Tampa, especially playing for a defensive minded coach like Todd Bowles.
