27. Baltimore Ravens: Perrion Winfrey, DT, Oklahoma

A junior college transfer, Perrion Winfrey had 5.5 tackles for a loss last season with the Oklahoma Sooners and now, the 297-pound defensive tackle is a player to watch this coming season. If he continues to grow as a player, he should be on the radar as a day one pick.

For the Baltimore Ravens, he seems like an ideal fit. He’s the perfect size for them to place on the end of their three-man line. He could end up being a good replacement for Derek Wolfe who turned 31 this offseason.

28. Cleveland Browns: Frank Ladson, Jr., WR, Clemson

The work done by the Cleveland Browns in the 2021 NFL Draft has been universally praised as second-year general manager Andrew Berry continues to impress with his ability to build a complete roster.

Looking ahead to 2022, there’s one area where they still need to improve — which is at wide receiver. They did add Anthony Schwartz from Auburn in the third round and he has a lot to like about his game, but he’s not a No. 1 target and they’re going to need one soon with Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, Jr. both turning 30 this season.

In an effort to get younger, Cleveland adds Frank Ladson, Jr. from Clemson. He’s a 6-3, 205-pound junior who had 281 yards on 18 receptions with three touchdowns. He should have a bigger role in 2021 and if he makes the most out of it, he could be on the radar as a first-round pick.
