No. 7 – New York Giants – Trevor Penning – OT – Northern Iowa
notes: Possibly the most underrated lineman in the entire NFL Draft… until the Senior Bowl, give it time.
No. 8 – Atlanta Falcons – Derek Stingley Jr. – CB – LSU
No. 9 – Carolina Panthers – Matt Corral – QB – Ole Miss
notes: Carolina was picking at 19 in mock 1.0, I think the Panthers have to take quarterback after the 2020-21 debacle.

No. 11 – New Orleans Saints – Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner – CB – Cincinnati
No. 12 – Philadelphia Eagles – Devin Lloyd – LB – Utah
