10. Dallas Cowboys – Alijah Vera-Tucker, OT, USC

After so many years of Tyron Smith being the anchor of the Dallas Cowboys offensive line, the time has come to find his replacement with so many injuries the past few years. While it will be tempting to help strengthen the defense, Jerry Jones will want to show Dak Prescott he has his back.

Alijah Vera-Tucker originally wasn’t going to play in 2020, but in the last seconds decided to opt back in. Vera-Tucker had a fantastic year at left tackle and really cemented himself as a top-15 prospect.

11. New York Giants – Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama

The New York Giants have a top cornerback in the league in James Bradberry, but the addition of Patrick Surtain from Alabama in the first round would take this defense to the next level. This Giants defense was tough last season, but it just had one too many holes in the secondary.

Being the son of a former All-Pro cornerback also doesn’t hurt Surtain. But in three years at Alabama, he has proved he can be a shut-down corner. He’s both physical at the line of scrimmage and has the quickness and speed to make up for any mistakes, on top of tremendous ball skills.

Some argue Surtain will come off the board before Farley, but I don’t see his ceiling being quite as high.
