25. Buffalo Bills: Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa
Josh Allen has been a beast for the Buffalo Bills as of late and they’re going to continue to contend as long as he’s under center for them. While they do have a lot of talent for him to work with, the Bills could improve the line in front of him.
That’s the goal as they bring in Tyler Linderbaum with their Round 1 pick. In addition to helping Allen have a cleaner pocket, Linderbaum should help open up the run game in Buffalo, since that’s where he shines.
"“Linderbaum has Pro Bowl potential but needs to be matched with a move-based rushing attack. He has the foot quickness and GPS to consistently find top positioning in the first phase of the block. He plays with leverage and body control to sustain and keep the running lane open.” — Zierlein, NFL.com"
The Bills are suddenly the team to beat in the AFC East and if they keep hitting on their personnel moves, they could become the team to beat in the AFC before long.

26. Tennessee Titans: Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington
Last year, the Tennessee Titans were the No. 1 seed despite losing Derrick Henry for a huge portion of the second half. They enter 2022 looking to continue to take the right steps forward and one way to make sure they do this would be to improve their defense.
That’s why they target Trent McDuffie from Washington with their pick in this 2022 NFL Mock Draft. McDuffie is considered a coach on the field and will instantly improve the play of everyone around him with his high football IQ.
