Atlanta Falcons: Stop trying to move up

The Falcons have been less than subtle about their interest in moving up to grab Henderson. They aren’t a player away from Super Bowl contention. As such, they should stay at No. 16 and just take the best player available. Henderson will be gone by then, but drafting someone like Javon Kinlaw would be a terrific consolation prize.

Carolina Panthers: Trade down and add future assets

Drafting Derrick Brown at No. 7 would fill a big need for the Panthers. Unfortunately for Matt Rhule and his coaching staff, they have more needs than picks at the moment. That’s why trading down and adding some more draft capital would be the wise move for Carolina.

New Orleans Saints: Gamble on an intriguing defensive back

The Saints are another team that would love to see Henderson slide to them but it’s not going to happen. New Orleans is also a team that is positioned to win big right now. Antoine Winfield, Jr may never be a traditional starter at corner, but he’s ready to help a team in nickel coverage immediately. He could create crucial turnovers for the Saints in 2020.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Draft the best pass protector available

The Buccaneers need to do everything they can to protect Tom Brady. That means spending a first-round selection on a tackle capable of being an immediate starter. Finding a way to grab Jedrick Wills would be an amazing stroke of luck for Tampa Bay.
