21. Cincinnati Bengals: Jaxson Kirkland, OT, Washington

We all heard the criticism for the Cinncinati Bengals when they took Ja’Marr Chase out of LSU instead of Penei Sewell from Oregon. Sewell was a highly regarded offensive tackle and while he’s done fine, there’s no denying that Chase has been the more impactful player for his team — and Riley Reiff has done about as well as Sewell this season at left tackle.

Of course, Reiff — who was a free agent signing this offseason — isn’t a long-term answer but more of a stop-gap. That worked out for them since they landed Chase but now with this pick, they do go after a new offensive tackle with Jaxson Kirkland.

A prototypical left tackle with very few holes in his game, Kirkland would start right away in Cincy and improve their line.

22. Tennessee Titans: Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC

After this season, the Tennessee Titans will have a tough call to make with Harold Landry. He’s been a solid player for them but they just paid Bud Dupree big money on one side. They might not be willing to fork out a huge contract again at the same position and that could lead to Landry exiting.

If he does, Drake Jackson from USC could be a good replacement. He’s still a bit of a projection player when it comes to rushing the passer but his potential is incredibly enticing.
