Los Angeles Chargers: DE Joey Bosa (2016 1st Round, No. 3)

The Chargers have had a strong track record of making good first-round picks in the last decade so anyone could have really fit in this spot. We’ll give Los Angeles credit for nailing their pick of Joey Bosa at No. 3 overall in 2016. Bosa already has 40 sacks in his first four seasons and is a two-time Pro Bowler.

Los Angeles Rams: DT Aaron Donald (2014 1st Round, No. 13)

The gold standard for interior defensive linemen, Aaron Donald has become a star for the Rams. Donald has not only made six straight Pro Bowls and five First-Team All-Pro appearances, but he also won the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2017 and ’18. The Rams have benefitted immensely from Donald’s ability to push the pocket and set up the rest of his teammates for success.

Miami Dolphins: WR Jarvis Landry (2014 2nd Round, No. 63)

The Dolphins did a good job finding Jarvis Landry at the end of the second round in 2014. Landry quickly emerged as one of the NFL’s slot receivers, catching 400 passes for 4,038 yards and 22 touchdowns in four years as a Dolphin. A contract dispute led to Miami sending Landry to Cleveland for a pair of draft picks at the beginning of the 2018 league year.
