19. Philadelphia Eagles: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
Back at it again, the Philadelphia Eagles pick up Chris Olave at No. 19. The odd thing about this selection is that it would be the third season in a row where they take a wideout in Round 1. However, that wouldn’t have to be the case if they hit on the 2020 selection of Jalen Reagor.
With Reagor not working out, they need to move on, and adding Olave would give them two players capable of picking apart secondaries with him and DeVonta Smith. It’s also worth it to go for a splash with three picks in this round.

20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Malik Willis, QB, Liberty
Right now, the Pittsburgh Steelers have Mitchell Trubisky and Mason Rudolph competing for a starting job. While we can’t say who the winner of that battle should be, we do know the loser of this showdown is the people of Pittsburgh.

In need of a new quarterback they can believe in, Pittsburgh adds Malik Willis from Liberty at No. 20. Willis is an interesting prospect who has a powerful arm and can destroy teams with his legs. He needs to round out some of his game but the Steelers coaching staff is strong enough to get him up to speed quickly.
Even if he’s not the guy in 2022, Willis should be the starter for the foreseeable future, and help the Steelers stay competitive for another decade-plus.
