Alex Leatherwood. 7. player. 56. . Offensive Lineman. Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals lost a tough one against division rival Cleveland this past weekend, as Baker Mayfield got the best of the Joe Burrow on Sunday. Mayfield threw for five touchdowns against Cincinnati, but Burrow stood toe to toe with him, and has established himself as a legitimate franchise guy as a rookie.

As they look forward, they have to continue to build the offensive line up, and Alex Leatherwood maybe the most versatile offensive lineman in this draft class. This kid can play guard or center at the next level, and would team with former teammate Jonah Williams in blocking for Burrow moving forward.

8. player. 123. . Wide Receiver. Dallas Cowboys. Ja'Marr Chase

The Dallas Cowboys have not been the same since Dak Prescott’s devastating injury, and they are likely headed towards the bottom of the NFC East. That is pretty incredible considering the amount of talent they have on both sides of the ball, including star wide receiver Amari Cooper.

With pick No. 8 overall, the Cowboys should look to bring in some more talent at wide receiver, and Ja’Marr Chase should be the first wideout off the board. If they do decide to bring Dak back, imagine him throwing to a tandem like Cooper and Chase, two guys who can take the lid off a defense at any time.

58. . Offensive Tackle. Washington Commanders. Samuel Cosmi. 9. player

The Washington Football Team picked up a huge win this past weekend, beating division rival Dallas in a game that could have huge ramifications down the road. Head coach Ron Rivera also got a big win personally, as he finished his treatment for cancer, and we certainly salute him and his bravery.

At pick No. 8, the Washington Football Team should look to get better up front along the offensive line, and Samuel Cosmi is the second-best offensive tackle available. This guy is going to be a mauler at the next level, and whoever is under center next season needs all the protection they can get.
