19. Tennessee Titans, Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College

Coming into the offseason, the most significant need for the Titans was a pass rusher, offensive guard, and wide receiver. They went out and signed edge rusher Cameron Wake to a 3yr/$23 million contract, which might be the most underrated signing of this offseason. With Wake signed, they can focus on the offensive line.

Fill in Chris Lindstrom, his tape against Clemson was very impressive, as he laid a ton of punishing blocks. He will be able to step in day one and dominate at the next level.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia

The Pittsburgh Steelers need a ton of help. Although they’ve been good for really long, they need to fix some of these issues to continue to be good. One of the most significant issues they have comes on the defensive side of the ball.

The Steelers don’t have good secondary players. They need to upgrade the position, and the best way to do it is by drafting Georgia’s cornerback Deandre Baker.

Baker, gave up 20 catches on 41 targets, for a total of 175 yards last season. He also had 2 interceptions, and nine passes deflected. Many scouts say he is super-fluid and should be the first corner taken because of it. The ability to quickly turn left to right and accelerate to full speed makes him a first round player.

21. Seattle Seahawks A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss

The Seattle Seahawks extended quarterback Russell Wilson this past week, and for a good reason. He deserves the money, as he has had the success he has had without a top wide receiver. Think about it, who is the best wide receiver Wilson has ever had?

I don’t know honestly. That is why they should take the wide receiver with the upside of being a top-5 wideout, A.J. Brown.

Brown, who is often in the shadows of D.K. Metcalf, should be a day one starter. If I had to pick one wide receiver, I’d take Brown over D.K., solely on his tape. I don’t think D.K. will be able to separate as well in the NFL. Brown doesn’t have that issue, as his route running is superb compared to all other wide receivers in this class.
