28. Green Bay Packers: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State

Even after the projected trade for Jerry Jeudy, I like this pickup.

Even assuming the Packers franchise tag Davante Adams, they have a number of receivers and offensive weapons with expiring contracts.

Chris Olave is somewhat similar to Jerry Jeudy but I think the two of them could be interchanged from the outside receiver position to the slot.

This kind of pick would give the Packers and Jordan Love the weapons they have so desperately needed the past few years at receiver with dynamic speed, route-running ability, and the ability to create separation.

29. Miami Dolphins (from SF): Trevor Penning, OT, Northern Iowa

Upgrading the offensive line is going to be non-negotiable this offseason for the Miami Dolphins.

New head coach Mike McDaniel just came over from the San Francisco 49ers where that was a huge point of emphasis with the big trade for Trent Williams a few years ago and the drafting of Mike McGlinchey in the first round.

Trevor Penning comes from a small school but he has a nasty playing style and with his combination of size, athleticism, and physicality, he could start at left or right tackle immediately.
