2nd round: EDGE Jayson Oweh
3rd round: S Jamar Johnson

While I like the players they selected as prospects, I would hate to see another draft in which they wait until the 4th round at the earliest to draft an offensive lineman. Because in my opinion, the number one thing they gotta do this draft is improve the offensive line. Otherwise, 2021 probably ends the same as 2020: Burrow on the IR.

The first two picks are very realistic, probably Chase in there instead of Pitts.

When they take Chase and the OL run happens at the end of round 1, there will be some quality defenders that fall to 38 that they won't want to pass on.

The round 3 pick makes no sense at all though. You have Bell and Bates this season and while you may want a guy long term to replace Bell, you can get a guy to groom in round 4 or 5 or later. Hell, Wiggins from UC would be a nice guy to let sit for a season.
