70. Jordan Whitehead, S: Tampa Bay Buccaneers ➡️ San Francisco 49ers
There could be a lot of Buccaneers walking the plank to 2022 NFL Free Agency, and most of them won’t have a hard time finding new NFL homes.
Jordan Whitehead has been an underrated piece of the Bucs’ secondary, and I think Tampa Bay would be devastated to see him leave.
Whitehead is a very well-rounded safety who can attack the line of scrimmage and has proven as much with 22 tackles for loss in his first four NFL seasons.
The 49ers have a number of safeties slated to hit free agency, including starting strong safety Jaquiski Tartt. Whitehead could provide them with a long-term replacement.
69. Folorunso Fatukasi, DL: New York Jets ➡️ Los Angeles Chargers
Earlier I predicted the Chargers to re-sign Linval Joseph, but I’m hedging my bets here and saying they will also sign Folorunso Fatukasi, one of the top nose tackles in free agency.
Even if the Chargers don’t wind up signing both of these players, I would push for Fatukasi if I were Brandon Staley.
The Chargers’ run defense was a liability last season and the interior of that defensive line got bullied in what wound up being the Chargers’ final game of the 2021 season against the Raiders.
Fatukasi is a powerful interior lineman who has shown consistent improvement in the pass rush department as well.
