LB. Detroit Lions. Micah Parsons. 9. player. 50.
If Micah Parsons were to fall to the Detroit Lions at the No. 9 pick, the organization would collectively be doing cartwheels throughout the team’s facilities. The Penn State linebacker is a game-changer defensively as he fills every role an NFL team could want at the position. He won’t play in the 2020 season after opting out but he’ll hit the ground running in Detroit, giving the LIons a young leader and presence they have nothing close to right now on defense.
10. player. 13. . IOL. Los Angeles Chargers. Creed Humphrey
It seems as if the Chargers might’ve struck gold with Justin Herbert as the rookie quarterback is impressing at every turn to start his career. But if they want to do right by him, they need to keep adding to the offensive line.
Finally getting stability at center, the Chargers add Creed Humphrey in this spot. The Oklahoma interior lineman has put forth an impressive body of work throughout his career as a nice mover with the right build to be an immediate starter in the City of Angels.
54. . LB. Philadelphia Eagles. Dylan Moses. 11. player
For all of the issues that the Eagles have showed this season, perhaps the most detrimental to their success has been the play at linebacker. Subsequently, they need to add a player like Alabama’s Dylan Moses and need to do so quick. It’s clear that Moses is knocking off some rust early in the season after missing 2019 with a torn ACL but his top-end film shows a player who can thrive at every level of the field against both the run and pass.
Minnesota Vikings. Wyatt Davis. 12. player. 60. . IOL
The fact that the Minnesota Vikings have struggled as much as they have early in this season is quite shocking. But one of the issues that remains is the interior offensive line, a problem that has persisted.
Wyatt Davis out of Ohio State could be a nice addition to help alleviate those woes in Minnesota. The Buckeye is a monster on the interior, a player who plays with a nasty streak while also not being over-aggressive. He can be a plug and play starter at the next level, which is what the Vikings need.
