25. Los Angeles Chargers: Myjai Sanders, EDGE, Cincinnati
Myjai Sanders hasn’t been getting the sack numbers this season, recording just one in the first nine games for the Cincinnati Bearcats, but he did put up 11 from 2019 through 2019. He’s still playing well, however, and once teams see the 6-foot-5, 258-pounder workout at the Combine, he should be right back in first-round contention.
He does make it into the opening night as the Los Angeles Chargers look for someone to play opposite Joey Bosa. Having a superstar across from him will not only help Sanders get one-on-one blocking, but it will give him a good mentor as well.
26. Dallas Cowboys: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
Tyron Smith has been out recently due to an injury. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is.
As great as Smith has been at left tackle, he hasn’t played a full season in six years now. And while he still can play at an elite level when he’s on the field, it’s becoming more difficult to see the Dallas Cowboys heading into another season with him as the blindside protector for Dak Prescott.
This leads to them using their first-round pick on Charles Cross, who comes from the same program as the aforementioned Prescott. Cross should be more than capable of playing from day one while bringing some youth and much-needed health to the Dallas O-line.
