Pick Analysis. WR. USC. 44. Scouting Report. Jordan Addison. 16. player
16. Atlanta Falcons: Jordan Addison, WR, USC
Despite his suspension, the Atlanta Falcons were able to move Calvin Ridley as they sent him to the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. They feel good about Drake London as the No. 1 target going forward but can use a No. 2 option.
Enter Jodan Addison who was a star at Pitt before heading to USC. He’s continued to grow after replacing London but now joins him as the Falcons put an impressive duo together.

17. Los Angeles Chargers: Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
One of the toughest teams in the league to figure out is the Los Angeles Chargers. There are times they look elite but there are also times they look lost.
Right now, they’re in the midst of a 1-3 stretch and lost their second to Kansas City this season. Their roster is solid but just needs a few more pieces — with defensive tackle being one of the spots needing help. They get this with Bryan Bresee from Clemson who can take advantage of the attention Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack command.

18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: O’Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida
There aren’t many holes on the Tampa Bay Bucs roster but they do need to get better along the interior of the line. They add O’Cyrus Torrence at No. 18, giving them the top guard in this class.
58. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Christian Gonzalez. CB. Oregon. 19. player
19. Washington Commanders: Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon
Washington looks like a different team without Carson Wentz. It’s hard to know why this keeps happening, but it’s science at this point.
Here, they improve their defense with the selection of Christian Gonzalez. A Colorado transfer, Gonzalez has been putting it all together this year and could be a lockdown artist.
