21. Detroit Lions: DE T.J. Watt, Wisconsin

The Lions could stand to add another strong pass rushers to their team to pair with Ziggy Ansah. While T.J. Watt lacks elite athleticism, he is a try hard player like his older brother, J.J. Watt. T.J. would give the Lions a strong option on the edge and that could help to further make them become a playoff contender.

22. Miami Dolphins: OL Forrest Lamp, Western Kentucky

With Jarrad Davis off the board, the Dolphins will have to choose between Zach Cunningham and Forrest Lamp. It seems that Lamp offers the better value at this point in the draft. Lamp could come in and be a plug and play starter at guard. He and Laremy Tunsil will open up huge running lanes for Jay Ajayi and really could improve the Dolphins offense.

23. New York Giants: LB Zach Cunningham, Vanderbilt

The Giants need to add some help at linebacker. I considered mocking running back Dalvin Cook here, but I thought that his fit with the team was wrong. The Giants are more likely to target a guy like Samaje Perine on Day 2 of the draft. Cunningham is a highly productive linebacker who should be a great option at the next level. He could play the middle linebacker position for the Giants and greatly improve their defense.

24. Oakland Raiders: CB Adoree’ Jackson, USC

Adoree’ Jackson has a very high ceiling. He is going to be an elite slot corner with excellent athleticism. Thanks to his playmaking ability, he will be able to make an impact in all facets on the game and could be a big special teams playmaker. Jackson would be the No. 3 corner for the Raiders, and they are a team that has highly valued athleticism in the past. Perhaps they will value it once again.
