10. Philadelphia Eagles: Peter Skoronski, OL, Northwestern

The Philadelphia Eagles could win the Super Bowl and still have a top-10 pick. Wild. That’s just how Howie Roseman finessed the 2022 NFL Draft when he managed to not only land this selection (from the Saints) but also Jordan Davis and AJ Brown all in one night. It was an impressive job at the time, and he looks even more genius in hindsight.

What will the Eagles do with a top-10 pick? Probably along similar lines of what they always like to do — add in the trenches. This team could go front seven defensively as well, maybe get a little younger at corner if they want, but with some impending free agents on the offensive line, they could take Peter Skoronski and immediately insert him into the starting lineup at guard. Or have him wait a year, or play when someone gets injured. The luxuries of being an elite roster.

11. Tennessee Titans: Paris Johnson Jr., OL, Ohio State

The Tennessee Titans have an abundance of needs on either side of the ball going into this 2023 offseason, but they were still this close to winning the AFC South despite all of their flaws in 2022. It speaks directly to the job done by head coach Mike Vrabel and his staff, who had the Titans competitive with some rather crucial injuries throughout the season and the loss of AJ Brown in a trade with the Eagles.

And that trade may have done GM Jon Robinson in. Robinson was literally fired right after the Titans were embarrassed by Brown and the Eagles, so the ownership has not been oblivious to the fact that Vrabel was given a raw deal roster-wise in 2022.

Here he lands arguably the best offensive line prospect in the class in Paris Johnson Jr., who can upgrade the Titans’ line and join his former Ohio State teammate Nicholas Petit-Frere, a starter of 16 games as a rookie for Tennessee. He could play the guard position initially and move out to tackle down the line.
