26. Titans – Devin Lloyd, Linebacker, Utah

Lloyd was a relatively obscure player a few years ago. But he matured rapidly and has played an important role on some strong Utah defenses in recent seasons. Lloyd finished his career as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and an All-American. The Titans can’t afford to pass on Lloyd if he’s available at 26th overall. Tennessee isn’t exactly stacked at linebacker, making the choice to choose Lloyd even easier.

27. Buccaneers – Devonte Wyatt, Defensive Tackle, Georgia

Wyatt is another component of Georgia’s great defense, which guided the Bulldogs to a national championship last season. In 2021, he was also a first-team All-SEC performance and a second-team All-American, and his stock has continued to grow since the Combine. While the Buccaneers aren’t in desperate need of linebackers, they haven’t done much in that department this offseason. They’re practically playing with house money now that Tom Brady is back. That should give them enough time to take a gamble on Wyatt late in the first round.
