Pat Freiermuth. 19. player. Pick Analysis. TE. Penn State. 13. Scouting Report

It is unknown what will happen with the Los Angeles Chargers and their tight end Hunter Henry, who is playing under a one-year franchise tag. The Chargers are looking for a complete offense.

Oklahoma State. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. RB. Chuba Hubbard. 20. player. 36

The Seattle Seahawks are an offense that relies on multiple running backs but Chuba Hubbard’s speed and ability to maneuver can put him instantly as the starter.

Pick Analysis. QB. Mississippi State. K.J. Costello. 21. Scouting Report. player. 47

The New England Patriots did not make the move to draft a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft. Either a free agent will come in or Jarrett Stidham will start. They will need a long-time starter in the 2021 NFL Draft and KJ Costello could break out for Mike Leach.

46. DE/OLB. Xavier Thomas. 22. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Clemson

A dominant pass rush is one of the only issues that the Indianapolis Colts need to fulfill. Xavier Thomas can be a significant pass rusher from the line of scrimmage or the linebacker corps.

player. 23. 48. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. DE. Washington. Joe Tryon

There are plenty of talented defensive ends for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but none that can account for double-digit sacks.

24. player. Pick Analysis. Najee Harris. RB. Alabama. 54. Scouting Report

After losing Jordan Howard, the Philadelphia Eagles did not address their need for a running back in free agency or the 2020 NFL Draft.

DT. 25. player. Pick Analysis. USC. Jay Tufele. 55. Scouting Report

The Pittsburgh Steelers do need to address the need for a future franchise quarterback soon but they also need to focus on the lack of depth and reliability at defensive tackle.
