34. Cordarrelle Patterson, RB/WR: Atlanta Falcons ➡️ Los Angeles Rams

How realistic is this? I don’t really know. What I do know is, it would be a ton of fun.

There’s no way the Los Angeles Rams are just going to sit idly by in free agency while other teams around them go after upgrades and try to get better.

There’s also no way that Sean McVay is going to just let Kyle Shanahan have all the spotlight with what he did last year with Deebo Samuel. That’s going straight into McVay’s playbook and he’s going to need someone to play the part.

Cordarrelle Patterson isn’t exactly a late bloomer, but in a way, he is. He had an outstanding year in 2021 with the Falcons primarily out of the backfield, but he obviously brings tremendous value

33. Harold Landry, EDGE: Tennessee Titans ➡️ Tennessee Titans

I will admit — I initially had Harold Landry penciled in for the Philadelphia Eagles.

In case that happens, we need receipts here.

Officially, though, I’m going conservative here and predicting that the Titans find a way to clear space and franchise tag him.

Landry is just 25, is coming off of a career year, and frankly, it would be unwise for the Titans to let him hit the market with the way they have struggled to find any consistent pass rush off the edge in recent years.
