Alex Leatherwood. 11. player. 32. . OT. Arizona Cardinals

The job that Kliff Kingsbury has done with the Arizona Cardinals should not be overlooked. Other than adding Kyler Murray to the offense and a few inconsistent players at wide receiver and on defense, he’s largely taking the same roster of the abysmal team last year and made them competitive. But now, it’s about making Kingsbury and Murray’s life easier, and that starts with improving the offensive line.

Alex Leatherwood entered this season with the opportunity to prove himself as he took over for Jonah Williams as Alabama’s left tackle. He’s more than acquitted himself well in this opportunity, looking like a wall on the outside for the Crimson Tide. Leatherwood is ready to play right away and would be a huge stabilizer for a line that doesn’t have much stable about it at this point.

52. . CB. Jacksonville Jaguars. Kristian Fulton. 12. player

The Jacksonville Jaguars, all of a sudden, have a boatload of riches at quarterback with Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew. However, this team is still middling as their defense is not as elite as it once was and the playmakers around the quarterback could stand to be upgraded well. With their first of two first-round picks, though, they look to replace Jalen Ramsey.

Filling the shoes of an All-Pro cornerback is never an easy task but LSU’s Kristian Fulton can do the job well. Fulton is a great blend of physicality and smoothness at the cornerback position, able to play in press or off-man coverages with ease. While not a perfect player and someone who could still use further technical refinement, particularly with his hands, what he can do already makes him a lock for the top of the first round.
