Dolphins make protecting Tua a priority in the 2021 NFL Draft.

17. Miami Dolphins (via HOU): Creed Humphrey, IOL, Oklahoma

Miami focused heavily on getting protection for Tua Tagovailoa in the 2020 draft. Fun fact, that task isn’t done. While the future of the offensive line looks good for the Dolphins, they need more help up front. Creed Humphrey is the best interior offensive lineman in the class, though he’s second off the board at the position here. The Oklahoma product can start Day 1 at center in Miami and be exactly what this offense needs in the trenches.

18. Cleveland Browns: Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan

The Cleveland Browns would love to see either Dylan Moses or Micah Parsons fall to them. Linebacker is clearly their biggest need on the roster and there’s a big drop-off after those two in the 2021 class. Here, they have to settle for Aidan Hutchinson, which is far from a consolation prize. The Michigan edge rusher has a ton of power and technical skill getting after the passer, which Cleveland can pair with Myles Garrett.

19. Arizona Cardinals: Christian Barmore, IDL, Alabama

Having Christian Barmore available with the 19th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft might look silly down the line. The Alabama defensive lineman is a monster but is set for a major role increase from last year and could produce a Quinnen Williams-type leap. Arizona needs some more firepower on that side of the ball and Barmore can provide it.

20. Tennessee Titans: Jaylen Twyman, IDL, Pittsburgh

One of the most curious moves of the offseason remains the Titans trading Jurrell Casey for a seventh-round pick. Yes, they saved money and Jeffery Simmons can slide into that role. But it does leave somewhat of a hole on the line. Jaylen Twyman can slot into that spot with relative ease. The Pitt product is a fierce pass-rusher with a relentless motor that will fit the blue-collar defense under Mike Vrabel’s watch.
