10. player. 13. . Cornerback. Los Angeles Chargers. Caleb Farley

The Los Angeles Chargers suffered a terrible loss at home to the Carolina Panthers, and it is starting to look like it might be a long season for the Bolts. There are some bright spots, including quarterback Justin Herbert, who looks ready to be a full-time starter at the NFL level after taking over for the injured Tyrod Taylor.

On defense, the Chargers need more help in the secondary, especially considering they play Patrick Mahomes II twice a season. At No. 10, Caleb Farley could be available, and outside of Patrick Surtain II, I do not believe there is a better cornerback in this draft class.

The New Orleans Saints have gotten out to a rough start to the 2020 NFL season, losing in primetime in back-to-back weeks. First, they lost on the road to the Las Vegas Raiders, and then this past Sunday, they lost at home to the Green Bay Packers in a potential NFC title game matchup.

Drew Brees has not looked right this season, and Father Time may finally be starting to catch up to him. With the No. 11 overall pick, the Saints should select his successor, and Trey Lance from North Dakota State is one of those guys who can step in for Brees in 2022, especially if the vet comes back for one more season.

Carolina Panthers. Wyatt Davis. 12. player. 87. . Offensive Lineman

The Carolina Panthers made wholesale changes in terms of their roster this offseason, and through the first three games of the season, there have been mixed results. Last weekend, they had to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on the road without star running back Christian McCaffrey, but were still able to come away with the victory.

Teddy Bridgewater is a solid quarterback, and head coach Matt Rhule has not looked overwhelmed in his first go-around at the NFL level. With the No. 12 pick, they should look to add one of the more versatile offensive lineman in this draft class, bringing in Wyatt Davis to be a protector for Bridgewater, and a monster in run blocking for McCaffrey.
