23. Arizona Cardinals: Cameron Thomas, EDGE, San Diego State

This was a solid season for the Arizona Cardinals, even if their playoff stay was a short one. They still made some serious progress from a team that was picking first overall just a couple of seasons ago. Now they need to make sure they use this season as a building block and take their next step in 2022.

One way to do that would be to beef up their front seven, which they do with the selection of Cameron Thomas from San Diego State. A big-bodied defensive end, Thomas would fit nicely on the Cards 3-4 front — and he would have a great mentor in J.J. Watt to work alongside.

24. Dallas Cowboys: Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa

There was a lot of blame to go around when the Dallas Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card Round. They came out flat, had too many penalties, and the defense gave up too many long drives that limited their comeback attempt.

Another major issue is their offensive line which used to be a strength but is now a complete mess. The good news is, they can end up with a player who could make a huge impact for them as they should have a shot at Tyler Linderbaum from Iowa.

Easily the best center in the class, he could replace Tyler Biadasz and help the front-five gel for Dallas.
