Similar to the New York Giants selection, the 49ers would benefit from selecting either Horn or Waddle. With Horn off the board, the Niners add Waddle to an offense featuring Deebo Samuel George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk. Waddle would also take over for Kendrick Bourne who left for the Patriots this offseason. Waddle would slot in perfectly as an outside receiver due to his game-breaking speed.

Protecting Justin Herbert is an absolute must for the Chargers that already feature a fairly loaded offense. The former North Western left tackle has seen his stock skyrocket over the past few months and falling to 13 might be a steal for the Chargers. Slater is viewed by some as the best offensive tackle in the draft ahead of Sewell who went second overall in this mock. Slater would be an immediate starter for the Chargers protecting Herbert’s blindside.

The Vikings are facing a complete turnaround as their formerly elite defense has eroded. While at Penn State, Parsons showcased his athleticism and talent every week. However, Parsons stock has been in question due to some off-the-field issues, but the talent is there. He should become an immediate producer on a defense that will likely lose star pass rusher, Danielle Hunter.
