Tyree Wilson. 15. player. 44. . Edge. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are still trying to figure out how to consistently win, but they have been a problem for their opponents in recent weeks. Marcus Mariota is playing good football at the quarterback spot, and when all is said and done, they could be in a dogfight for the NFC South title.

Looking ahead, however, this Falcons team needs to get more pressure on the quarterback, and Tyree Wilson from Texas Tech can help them do just that. He is a big, explosive defensive end that should have no problems adapting to the speed, or size at the NFL level.

Cam Smith. 16. player. 58. . CB. Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders have had to turn to Taylor Heinicke with Carson Wentz down with an injury, and they should keep him as the starter when Wentz returns. The players love playing for this fiery quarterback, and if he continues to stack wins, why not roll with him in 2022, and beyond?

With the progression of Heinicke, the Commanders can look at other position groups in 2023, including the cornerback spot. They need help in the secondary in the worst way, and Cam Smith is a potential top-10 talent that would prove to be a steal in the middle of the first round.
