11. Cincinnati Bengals – Devin Bush, LB, Michigan

The Cincinnati Bengals could be tempted to take Dwayne Haskins. However, the Bengals go in a different direction and address the middle of the defense with the selection of Michigan middle linebacker Devin Bush.

There isn’t much separation between White and Bush as the top inside backer and with the Bengals finally moving on from Vontaze Burfict, they can plug Bush in and leave him be for the next decade. He’s a model teammate who had no issues during his time in Ann Arbor, where he was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a consensus All-American.

12. Green Bay Packers – Montez Sweat, Edge, Mississippi State

The Packers addressed the pass rush in free agency with some splashy signings but they shouldn’t stop there. The Packers know they have to get to the quarterback if they’re going to win the NFC North and advance in the playoffs. Adding Montez Sweat, who is a blur off the edge, could be the ideal third-down pass rusher this team has missed.

Sweat was a steady producer for the last two years at Mississippi State and stole the show when he ran a 4.41 at the Scouting Combine, the fastest time ever by a defensive lineman. That type of speed could be trouble for Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins and Mitchell Trubisky in the division.
