10. Atlanta Falcons: Tyree Wilson, EDGE, Texas Tech

The Atlanta Falcons have proven themselves to be resilient at points during the 2022 season, but it hasn’t quite been enough to get this team on pace for a winning record. It would be slightly shocking if it happened, but the playoffs are actually not out of the realm of possibility despite the Falcons’ inconsistencies. We’ll see how Desmond Ridder does being thrust into the starting role this coming weekend.

One area the Falcons must upgrade — besides potentially QB again in 2023 — is off the edge. Tyree Wilson has 27.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks over the last two years for Texas Tech. This guy comes off the edge with bad intentions, strong hands, and great length. He can move around the defensive formation and give the Falcons a huge boost on that side of the ball.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jordan Addison, WR, USC

Over the course of the 2022 NFL season, one of the least-celebrated but most positive developments for the league and just football fans in general has been the development of Trevor Lawrence. In the second half of the season and since throwing a game-ending interception in London against the Denver Broncos, Lawrence has been on fire.

Head coach Doug Pederson has come in and turned the look of that offensive unit around in Jacksonville and heading into Week 15, the Jaguars actually have a shot at making the postseason if the Titans continue to flounder. One thing Lawrence needs is a true no. 1 receiver and Jordan Addison could be the Stefon Diggs to Lawrence’s Josh Allen.
