OT. 24. player. Pick Analysis. Maryland. Jaelyn Duncan. 35. Scouting Report
24. Tennessee Titans: Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland
Offensive tackle has been a sore spot for the Tennessee Titans since letting Jack Conklin leave in free agency. Here, they address this with the selection of Jaelyn Duncan from Maryland. He can play on the right side but could also be the heir to Taylor Lewan on the blindside one day.
25. player. 26. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. EDGE. Kansas State. Felix Anudike-Uzomah
25. Baltimore Ravens: Felix Anudike-Uzomah, EDGE, Kansas State
There’s a lot of experience on the edge for the Baltimore Ravens this season with Justin Houston and Jason Pierre-Paul. What they need is youth.
Felix Anudike-Uzomah is a 6-foot-3, 252-pounder that has been camping out in opposing backfields.
South Carolina. Cam Smith. player. Pick Analysis. CB. 26. 36. Scouting Report
26. Seattle Seahawks: Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina
They bolstered the pass rush with their earlier pick and now the Seattle Seahawks get better in the secondary. Cam Smith has been a great coverage corner for the South Carolina Gamecocks and can help Seattle rebuild their once-powerful defensive back corps.
LB. Oregon. Noah Sewell. Scouting Report. 27. player. 60. Pick Analysis
27. Minnesota Vikings: Noah Sewell, LB, Oregon
Eric Kendricks has been great for a long time but he’s on the wrong side of 30. Minnesota is proactive here as they add Noah Sewell with their first-round pick. He’s the younger brother of Penei Sewell, who plays for Detroit, so they will be able to play one another twice per season.
