Matching top talent with teams ahead of the WFT in the second round

Laid out below is a list of the teams ahead of us in the second round as well as their estimated positions of need. Yes, it’s contrary to taking the Best Player Available. Yes, it’s not how I would recommend teams do things. Nevertheless, it’s the simplest way I have to speculate about who might be off, and on, the draft board once Washington’s second round pick rolls around at #51. I expect this will draw lots of thoughts. Have at it in the comments!

Pick 33 - Jaguars

Needs: OT, WR, S

The Jags picked Trevor Lawrence (QB) and Travis Etienne (RB) in the first. Here, they select tackle Teven Jenkins to protect their new investments.

Pick 34 - Jets

Needs: CB, EDGE, RB

The Jets took Zach Wilson (QB) and Alijah Vera-Tucker (G) in the first. Here, they take Asante Samuel Jr at cornerback.

Pick 35 - Falcons

The Falcons took Kyle Pitts (TE) in the first. Here, they take EDGE, Azeez Ojulari.

Pick 36 - Dolphins

Needs: RB, WR, LB, IOL

The Dolphins picked Jaylen Waddle (WR) and Jaelan Phillips (EDGE) in the first round. Here, they select Javonte Williams (RB).

Pick 37 - Eagles

The Eagles took WR Devonta Smith in the first. Here, they grab Jalen Hurts another weapon, Penn State product Pat Freiermuth (TE).

Pick 38 - Bengals

Needs: OT, TE, IOL

The Bengals grabbed Ja’Marr Chase (WR) in the first. Here, they do what they should have done in the first, and grab an offensive lineman, Creed Humphrey.

The Panthers took cornerback Jaycee Horn in the first. Here they take their first offensive player in the draft in the last two years, Landon Dickerson.

Pick 41 - Lions

The Lions grabbed Penei Sewell (T) in the first round. Here they take Elijah Moore (WR).

Pick 42 - Giants

Needs: WR, LB, CB

With the Giants taking WR Kadarius Toney in the first, and missing on Micah Parsons, they select linebacker Nick Bolton here.

Pick 43 - 49ers

Needs: EDGE, IOL, CB

The 49ers moved up to grab QB Trey Lance in the first round. Here they take CB Elijah Molden, to help bolster the defense.

Pick 44 - Cowboys

Needs: CB, OT, EDGE, TE

The Cowboys grabbed LB Micah Parsons after having the top two CBs in the draft taken out from under their noses. Here, they grab CB Kelvin Joseph, who is a perfect character fit for their organization.

Pick 45 - Jaguars

Needs: OT, WR, S

Having taken Jenkins earlier in the round, they take the first safety off the board, Trevon Moehrig.

Pick 46 - Patriots

Needs: LB, WR, CB

Pick 48 - Raiders

The Cardinals took linebacker Zaven Collins in the first round, and grab interior offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz here.
