Rashod Bateman. 25. player. 30. . Wide Receiver. New York Jets

The New York Jets pick twice in the first round in 2021, and with the second pick, the one from the Seattle Seahawks, they get Trevor Lawrence an elite weapon. Rashod Bateman would join a crew led by Denzel Mims at wideout in 2021, giving Lawrence some guys he can utilize as a rookie.

player. 52. . Tight End. Jacksonville Jaguars. Kyle Pitts. 26

The Jacksonville Jaguars get the best tight end in this draft class with pick No. 26, bringing in Kyle Pitts from Florida to team with new franchise quarterback Justin Fields. Pitts is the kind of difference-maker at the position that elite teams need, and he and Fields would become instant offense.

player. 35. . Edge. Tennessee Titans. Jayson Oweh. 27

The Tennessee Titans will back up their run to the AFC title game with another playoff appearance, though we will see how far they can get this time around. On defense, they still need help coming off the edge, and they come in the person of Jayson Oweh, a rangy menace of an edge rusher from Penn State.

player. 16. . Offensive Tackle. Buffalo Bills. Liam Eichenberg. 28

The Buffalo Bills are a legitimate Super Bowl contender, and now that we know Josh Allen is the real deal at quarterback, the team must use the first-round pick to protect him. Liam Eichenberg is as elite as they come in terms of the left tackle position at the college level, and he would be a long-term solution protecting Allen’s blindside in Buffalo.
