60. . Offensive Lineman. Minnesota Vikings. Wyatt Davis. 10. player

The Minnesota Vikings may have put their season back on track this past weekend, as they went into Lambeau Field and beat a very good Green Bay Packers team, 28-22. The Packers are widely considered a Super Bowl contender this season, but the Vikings did not back down, and are a completely different team with Dalvin Cook in the lineup.

Looking at their roster, they need help along the offensive line, and if they do not trade up for a quarterback, they could get a dominant interior lineman in Wyatt Davis at No. 10 overall. This is a guy who can play all over the interior of the offensive line, and that is one area the Vikings need a lot of help and depth.

Cincinnati Bengals. Samuel Cosmi. 11. player. 56. . Offensive Tackle

The Cincinnati Bengals have their franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow, who showed once again on Sunday that he is the kind of kid who can come into the league and dominate right away. He was able to lead the Bengals to an absolute throttling of the Tennessee Titans, a team considered to be a favorite in the AFC.

While the Bengals could be a year away from competing in a tough AFC North, they have the hardest position in football to get right in place. Burrow does need help along the offensive line, and adding Samuel Cosmi to team with Jonah Williams at offensive tackle gives him his bookends for years to come.

12. player. 87. . Tight End. Carolina Panthers. Kyle Pitts

The Carolina Panthers will likely get Christian McCaffrey back in Week 9, and that will go a long way in them making a run in a tough NFC South division. McCaffrey is the kind of back that can do it all, and on offense, he makes up for the lack of weapons that currently plagues the Panthers franchise.

In the first round in April, they can do something about that, adding the best pass-catching tight end in this draft class. Kyle Pitts from Florida is going to be the first tight end off the board, and in Carolina, he would join a young offense that can be downright explosive from time to time.
