WR. Jaxon Smith-Njigba. 22. player. Scouting Report. 26. Pick Analysis. Baltimore Ravens

This one pains me being a Browns fan, but the fit makes so much sense. JSN sat out most of the 2022 season with a hamstring injury but when healthy, he was arguably the best wide receiver in all of college football. Getting him at 22 overall would be a massive steal for Baltimore.

The Ravens also have been using the Ohio State pipeline in recent drafts with the drafting of running back JK Dobbins and linebacker Malik Harrison in 2020. Cornerback Shaun Wade was also drafted by Baltimore in 2021.

JSN would give Baltimore exactly what it is looking for on offense, assuming Lamar Jackson stays put at quarterback. A reliable, playmaking slot receiver who will dominate the middle of the field for years to come in the NFL.

Dawand Jones. 30. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. OT. New York Jets. 43

No matter who is under center for the Jets next season, they need to upgrade the tackle positions. Former first-round pick Mekhi Becton can’t stay healthy and the right tackle situation this past season was below average at best.

The massive Dawand Jones gives the Jets a starting right tackle on Day 1 of training camp as his game should translate to the NFL, just as Nicholas Petit-Frere did last season with the Titans.

Luke Wypler. 60. player. 56. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. C. Cincinnati Bengals

Another Buckeye offensive lineman comes off the board in the second round as Luke Wylper remains in Ohio and gets drafted by the Bengals. The need for offensive linemen was evident in the playoffs.  Priority No. 1 in the offseason has to be protecting franchise quarterback Joe Burrow.
