30. Chiefs – David Ojabo, Linebacker, Michigan
Ojabo was overshadowed by Adrian Hutchison at Michigan, but he was a vital part of the Wolverines’ defense that carried them to the College Football Playoff. In 2021, he had 11 sacks and five forced fumbles, giving him a lot of potential at the next level. To put it another way, he’s too fantastic to pass up at this point in the first round. In Kansas City’s scheme, Ojabo may have to play more defensive end than a linebacker, but he can still fill out his physique and play in the trenches without sacrificing his edge-rushing skills.

31. Bengals – Roger McCreary, Cornerback, Auburn
McCreary isn’t one of the better corners in this draft, but he’s a safe bet this late in the first round. He was a two-year starter at Auburn, where he frequently outperformed some of the best wide receivers in the country. This should also prepare him to play in the NFL as a rookie. He is also an excellent fit for the Bengals. The Cincinnati defense could need help in all areas, but the Bengals are particularly in need of secondary depth. The Bengals will need some help in that area if they are to return to the Super Bowl.
