21. Frank Ragnow – Cincinnati Bengals

Pick by Cameron Parker

This is a bizarre team to pick a need for. The Bengals can numerous places defensively, but that opens the possibility to go smart with the most athletic inside offensive lineman in the NFL Draft. Frank Ragnow has risen up draft boards since his tape against the Alabama Crimson Tide. It is also smart to protect Andy Dalton.

22. Rashaan Evans – Buffalo Bills

Pick by Ty Walden

The Bills were able to get their quarterback early on. Now they go defense with their second first round pick. It is the perfect storm. Get your quarterback and then draft a edge rusher that can get to the quarterback. It is the best of both worlds.

23. Isaiah Wynn – New England Patriots

Pick by Andrew Wade

The top linebackers are off the board, Vander Esch has been ruled off of several boards for medical reasons, and Mike McGlinchey is gone so the Patriots are going with versatile guard Isaiah Wynn. Although he primarily has played guard, some believe he has the ability to transition to tackle as well. Belichick loves versatility and Wynn will be able to play multiple spots as a rookie.

24. Taven Bryan – Carolina Panthers

Pick by Sayre Bedinger

The Panthers get a great value here in the back end of the first round, taking the ultra-athletic defensive end Taven Bryan from the Panthers. Defensive end might not be their most pressing need, but they need to get younger there and Bryan is a rare type of talent who is scheme versatile.
