Offensive Tackle. Los Angeles Chargers. Samuel Cosmi. 10. player. 13.

The Los Angeles Chargers upgraded at the offensive tackle position this offseason, adding Bryan Bulaga from the Green Bay Packers. He is slated to start on the right side this year, but there is little depth behind both he, and left tackle Sam Tevi, who needs to be replaced moving forward.

With the No. 10 overall pick, the Chargers bring in a young offensive tackle that can serve as Justin Herbert’s blindside protector for the foreseeable future. Samuel Cosmi is one of the better tackles in this draft class, and has the size, strength, and feet to come in and start right away for the Chargers.

45. . Offensive Tackle. Denver Broncos. Alex Leatherwood. 11. player

The Denver Broncos have their issues up front along the offensive line, and a lot of it stems from the drafting of Garett Bolles back in 2017. Bolles has never lived up to his first round billing, and come next April, the team may be ready to turn the page, adding Alex Leatherwood.

This is a guy who can play all over the offensive line, and getting better up front in front of Drew Lock has got to be the priority for this franchise. Leatherwood could have been a first round pick last season, and another year at Alabama is only going to help his draft stock.

player. 32. . Cornerback. Arizona Cardinals. Patrick Surtain II. 12

The Arizona Cardinals have a nice blend of youth, and veterans at cornerback, but there is still work to be done within the position group. Patrick Peterson is still a solid player, but behind him, youngster Byron Nelson, and veterans Dre Kirkpatrick could struggle this season, meaning a first round pick at corner could be a priority.

Luckily for Arizona, there is some solid cornerback talent in this draft class, including Patrick Surtain II from Alabama. This is a kid who was born to play the position, has an NFL pedigree, and may be one of the more NFL-ready players in this draft class.
