Tua gets a big-time blocker in Charles Cross from Mississippi State
Charles Cross. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. OT. Mississippi State. 21. 59
21. Miami Dolphins (via San Francisco 49ers): Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State
The Miami Dolphins pick was already used by the Philadelphia Eagles and now, they’re on the clock with the selection they obtained from the San Francisco 49ers in another trade that took place ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Miami was off to one of the worst starts in the NFL this season but they have turned things around in a big way. They still have room to grow and one area that can be better is their offensive line.
They work to improve that here with the selection of Charles Cross from Mississippi State. He should be able to secure one tackle position, helping the entire offense perform at a higher level.
Utah. Devin Lloyd. 22. 35. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player. LB
22. Tennessee Titans: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah
The Tennessee Titans appeared to be running away with the AFC South this year but have fallen back in recent weeks. Injuries to key players including Derrick Henry, A.J. Brown, and Julio Jones explain the problem but they could be in danger of losing out to the Colts if they don’t start winning again.
Looking ahead to 2022, they could use some help on the defensive side which would make them less dependent on the offense. That leads to the selection of Devin Lloyd from Utah. A playmaking linebacker like Lloyd will go a long way toward improving their defense, while Lloyd will also benefit from the Titans beefy front line occupying blockers.
