player. Pick Analysis. S. Georgia. Richard LeCounte. 26. 60. Scouting Report

The cornerback position was not the only one that was a disaster in the previous season for the Minnesota Vikings. They will need more first-round talent at safety.

OL. Pick Analysis. Trey Smith. 27. player. 16. Scouting Report. Tennessee

The offensive line was not addressed in the 2020 NFL Draft and the Buffalo Bills need to lower the pressure on quarterback Josh Allen in the pocket.

Samuel Cosmi. 28. player. Scouting Report. Texas. Pick Analysis. OT. 123

The offensive line of the Dallas Cowboys is not the dominant unit as they were back in 2017 and 2018. If tackles are both covered, then Samuel Cosmi might fit in as a guard.

15. Iowa State. player. QB. Brock Purdy. 29. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Drew Brees will be 41 years old and in the last year of his contract and Jameis Winston was only signed for a one-year deal. The Saints could grab Brock Purdy as a future franchise quarterback.

WR. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Rondale Moore. 30. 26. Purdue

The Baltimore Ravens were not able to find a more capable No. 1 wide receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft. Having Rondale Moore and Marquise Brown will elevate quarterback Lamar Jackson into a more progressive passing quarterback.

player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. CB. Israel Mukuamu. South Carolina. 31. 42

The San Francisco 49ers did not find a potential long-term solution and future starter for their aging cornerbacks. The 49ers can get a second chance in the 2021 NFL Draft.

DeVonta Smith. 32. player. Wide Receiver. Alabama Crimson Tide. 124. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

With Sammy Watkins’ contract ending after the 2020 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs can create a dominant receiving corps with Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman and DeVonta Smith.
