9. Los Angeles Chargers: Jaylen Waddle, WR, Alabama

Mike Williams hasn’t become the star receiver the Chargers believed they were getting when it made him the seventh overall pick back in 2017. Now, Los Angeles gets a better prospect in the lightning-fast Jaylen Waddle. Waddle is expected to run a sub-4.3 40-yard time and is also an electric return man on special teams. He’s a can’t-miss type of offensive play-maker.

10. Minnesota Vikings: Marvin Wilson, IDL, Florida State

The Vikings will have Michael Pierce back for 2021 after losing him to COVID-19 opt-out, but the interior of the defensive line remains a need in Minnesota. Insert Marvin Wilson, who might have been a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft had he declared. Wilson may not be a stat-stuffer, but he’s a beast from the inside and will terrorize opposing offensive lines.

11. Miami Dolphins: Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama

People have forgotten how good Dylan Moses is after missing all of 2019 with an ACL injury. Moses is right back to dominating the middle of the defense for the Crimson Tide and will make a run at LB1 status in the 2021 NFL Draft. Until then, the Dolphins will happily plug him into their underrated defense next to Jerome Baker.

12. Detroit Lions: Christian Barmore, IDL, Alabama

The Lions continually swing-and-miss on interior defensive linemen, but that narrative could come to an end with Christian Barmore. Barmore’s best football days are ahead of him and he’s already playing at a high level. Barmore could come in and be Detroit’s best defender from day one.
