No 20 Pittsburgh Steelers select Troy Fautanu T
Quick thoughts: Fauntanu was a key contributor to the Washington Huskies Super Bowl champion team and is a guy who the Steelers are likely happy fell to them.

No 21 Miami Dolphins select Chop Robinson DE
Quick thoughts: The Dolphins offense is solid, therefore picking a defensive player such as Robinson is a smart move for the Dolphins.

No 22 pick Philadelphia Eagles select Quinyon Mitchell CB
Quick thoughts: Mitchell has been talked about in positive terms throughout the draft process and is another guy who as a pick by the Eagles will end up being a big time player playing in big time games.

No 23 pick Houston Texans trade to Minnesota Vikings trade to Jacksonville Jaguars who select Brian Thomas Jr WR
Quick thoughts: And another guy who is arguably the reason that the Jayden Daniels won the Heisman. Trevor Lawrence should be stoked to have a weapon like Thomas to throw to.

No 24 pick Dallas Cowboys trade to Detroit Lions who select Terrion Arnold CB
Quick thoughts: Alabama always has a defensive back or two go in the first round and for good reason, they are well coached and well prepared to enter the NFL. Good pick by the Detroit Lions.

No 25 pick Green Bay Packers select Jordan Morgan T
Quick thoughts: Getting a Jordan to protect Jordan Love is not a bad idea. Nice pick by the Packers.

No 26 pick Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Graham Barton C
Quick thoughts: After paying Baker Mayfield, getting a good lineman to protect him is certainly a solid decision by the Buccaneers.

No 27 pick Arizona Cardinals select Darius Robinson DE
Quick thoughts: Being a defensive minded coach it doesn't surprise me that Johnathan Gannon would want to come out of the first round with a defensive player. Robinson was a great player for what turned out to be a surprisingly great Mizzou team. Great pick by the Cardinals.

No 28 pick Buffalo Bills trade to Kansas City Chiefs who select Xavier Worthy WR
Quick thoughts: Worthy was a dominant player in his time at Texas and is automatically the best WR the Chiefs have. He's a guy who is going to be a #1 target for Mahomes for a good long while and will help the Chiefs keep their success going. I mean how unfair is it that the guy that broke the Combine 40 record is catching passes from Patrick Mahomes?

No 29 pick Detroit Lions trade to Dallas Cowboys select Tyler Guyton T
Quick thoughts: The Cowboys needed to replace Tryon Smith who left in free agency and they get just that. Smith's shoes are big ones to fill but the one thing the Cowboys organization are generally good at is picking offensive lineman, so Guyton turning out to be a good player would not surprise me at all.

No 30 pick Baltimore Ravens select Nate Wiggins CB
Quick thoughts: The Ravens have a history with drafting and developing secondary players so Wiggins being drafted by the Ravens seems like a good fit.

No 31 pick San Francisco 49ers select Ricky Pearsall WR
Quick thoughts: A good add on to an already very good 49ers offense.

No 32 pick Kansas City Chiefs trade to Buffalo Bills trade to Carolina Panthers who select Xavier Legette WR
Quick thoughts: The Panthers told him they were taking him and they did. Bryce Young needs weapons so anyone good he can get is a win. Legette is a win.

No 33 pick Buffalo Bills select Keon Coleman WR
Quick thoughts: And the Bills get their replacement for Stefon Diggs. Coleman was one of the star players on the now infamous non-CFP appearing undefeated Florida State Seminoles. Not a bad replacement for Diggs as far as I'm concerned.

Pick No 38 Tennessee Titans select T'Vondre Sweat DT, Texas
Quick thoughts: Sweat was another staple of a Longhorns defense that ended up nearly making a national championship. A solid pick by the Titans.
Pick No 83 Los Angeles Rams select Blake Corum RB, Michigan
Quick thoughts: Corum was the bell cow RB of the national champion Michigan Wolverines and one of the best RBs in all of college football. The fact that he is a third rounder means that he is going to end up being a steal when he makes a Pro Bowl or two or more and ends up being a favorite in fantasy football.

No 123 pick Houston Texans select Cade Stover TE, Ohio State
Quick thoughts: To beat the Chiefs in the AFC like the Texans want to do, you need weapons. Getting a weapon that is not only good, but one that CJ Stroud has experience with? A great pick by the Texans.
No 127 pick Philadelphia Eagles select Will Shipley RB, Clemson
Quick thoughts: A Barkley-Shipley combination will make for a great backfield for the Eagles.
No 150 pick New Orleans Saints Spencer Rattler QB, South Carolina
Quick thoughts: At one time people thought Rattler was going to be a #1 pick in the draft. He ended up not living up to the hype that was arguably unfair to begin with, got benched, and was replaced by Caleb Williams who in a twist of irony ended up being a #1 pick. Rattler ended up at South Carolina where he flashes of greatness. With the right coach that believes in his talents he'll end up being a solid NFL player. Good pick by the Saints.
No 152 pick Ainias Smith WR, Texas A&M
Quick thoughts: Smith was arguably the best weapon the Aggies had over the last couple seasons as he was a highlight generator for a team that infamously had little highlights. With the kick return rules being changed to encourage returns, the Eagles are going to reap serious benefits after picking Smith. He may end up turning out to be one of the best picks in this year's draft.
