- Jacksonville Jaguars (3-14): Aidan Hutchinson, EDGE, Michigan. The Jaguars have been locked into taking the best defensive player available for a while and that won't change as they go after the cornerstone for their new-look defense under coordinator Mike Caldwell, formerly of the Buccaneers.
- Detroit Lions (3-13-1): Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame. The Lions also feel like they're going for defensive impact and the decision for Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn will come down to Hamilton, edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux or versatile 3-4 hybrid playmaker Travon Walker of Georgia.
- Houston Texans (4-13): Evan Neal, OT, Alabama. The Texans are holding on to Laremy Tunsil for left tackle but now they can look at Neal to dominate the right side and provide powerful bookends for Davis Mills or whoever is their starting quarterback in 2022.
- New York Jets (4-13): Kayvon Thibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon. The Jets should be thrilled if Thibodeaux slips here to become the explosive cornerstone pass-rusher for coach Robert Saleh, which will remind him of having Nick Bosa powering his defense in San Francisco.
