ROUND 1

1. Cincinnati Bengals (2-14)

Joe Burrow, QB LSU 

Austin Bronstad: We all saw this coming, honestly. Joe Burrow was always going to go number 1. He had one of the best seasons in college football history, and Burrow’s unique combination of talent and health makes him the no-doubt selection.

2. Washington Redskins (3-13)

 Chase Young, DE, Ohio State

Micah Jimoh: After deciding to stay put in the second spot, the Washington Redskins selected the widely regarded best player in the draft, Chase Young. The Ohio State DE was one of the best prospects in years. He finished his 2019 season with 16.5 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, and 21 tackles for loss in 12 games. Young, who grew up in Maryland, will pair with Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, and Montez Sweat to form a scary defensive line.

3. Detroit Lions (3-12-1)

Jeff Okudah, DB, Ohio State

Richie Dordas: Shockingly, Detroit stayed put in the three spot, and used the pick on cornerback Jeff Okudah. Okudah, who was projected to go to the Lions in numerous mock drafts, had three interceptions in 2019 as a Buckeye. Okudah will most likely be the No. 1 corner for the Lions, and will look to turn around a pass defense that was ranked dead last in passing yards last year.

4. New York Giants (4-12)

 Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

Alex Spieldenner: New York knew who they wanted on the offensive line and got him. Some might argue that he wasn’t the best tackle on the board, but the Giants clearly preferred the 2019 consensus All-American to anybody else, and QB Daniel Jones should feel far safer now. A stat to know: The Athletic’s Dane Brugler has pointed out that Thomas has started 41 games, so the Tackle from Georgia should have more than enough experience to transition smoothly into the NFL.

5. Miami Dolphins (5-11)

Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama

 Austin Bronstad: The Miami Dolphins get their franchise QB in Tagovailoa. If Tua can stay healthy, he has the potential to be the best player from this draft. The injuries are a reason for concern, but if you want a QB to start your re-build, the Alabama product was the best available.

6. Los Angeles Chargers (5-11)

Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

 LeMarkus Bailey: Just as most people expected, the polished quarterback from Oregon, Justin Herbert, is the Chargers’ quarterback of the future. With the reins of the offense in the hands of a young Herbert, it will be interesting to see how well the Chargers can support their new quarterback as he tries to propel the team to a level that they could not reach while in San Diego.

7. Carolina Panthers (5-11)

 Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn

Kris Thomas: This pick shocked me because with Luke Keuchly retiring, Isiah Simmons falling would seem to be the ideal situation. But this pick is perfect for Carolina. 29th in rushing yards allowed, 31st in points allowed and dead last in rushing TDs, the Panthers badly need to shore up their defense, and Brown is a great way to start. DT Kawann Short has a young partner in crime to improve in the trenches. 

8. Arizona Cardinals (5-10-1)

 Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson 

Darren Braxton: Simmons is the definition of a positionless defender. He can play safety, outside linebacker, inside linebacker or even on the edge. This guy will make impact plays for years to come, and looks a lot like the Charger’s Derwin James. Simmons is someone who can do whatever you need on a game-by-game basis, and he will excel at all of it. The Cardinals got a steal here.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-10)

CJ Henderson, CB, Florida

Kris Thomas: The Jaguars had the makings of an all-time great defensive backfield in 2017, but they are now trying to rebuild. With Jalen Ramsey and AJ Bouye both traded, there was a major hole in their secondary. CJ is a great athlete with great tracking skills, even though 9th is too high for my taste. At least he fills a hole that needs to be filled.

10. Cleveland Browns (6-10)

 Jedrick Wills Jr., OT, Alabama

Richie Dordas: By no means a surprise, the Cleveland Browns took an offensive lineman with their first-round pick. Cleveland selected Jedrick Wills out of Alabama. In 2019, Wills was named First-Team All-SEC playing right tackle for the Crimson Tide. Wills’ job is simple: keep Baker Mayfield off his back. With Jack Conklin at right tackle, Wills will likely slide over to the left side of the line.

11. New York Jets (7-9)

 Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville

Alex Spieldenner: The Jets take Becton, the Louisville product who impressed many analysts with his excellent Combine. Brugler points out that Becton was a three-year starter at Louisville, and raves about his athleticism. Even better, Becton has experience at both left and right tackle, allowing him some flexibility and likely making the (presumed) transition to left tackle far easier. 

12. Las Vegas Raiders (7-9)

Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

Alex Spieldenner: The Raiders select Ruggs III, the proud owner of a 4.27 40-yard dash time. Ruggs III came into the combine gunning for the 40-yard dash record, and though he didn’t quite accomplish that, the speed is still incredibly impressive. The Alabama product had 746 yards receiving last year, and he will be the main piece that Las Vegas tries to build their passing offense around in 2020. An interesting note, however, is that CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy, both receivers that are generally considered to be superior to Ruggs III, is still available. Las Vegas must know something the rest of us don’t, or this could end up looking very foolish. 

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-9)(from SF)

Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa

LeMarkus Bailey: After trading a 4th round pick for a 7th to San Francisco, Tampa moved up one spot to 13 to acquire tackle Tristan Wirfs. Wirfs is a seasoned starter that displayed complete dominance in the Big Ten, and Tom Brady needs a tackle of Wirf’s caliber protecting him for what could likely be a Super Bowl-contending season. With this pick, Tom Brady can feel safe while he attempts to win Super Bowl number seven.

14. San Francisco 49ers (from TB)

Javon Kinlaw,  DL, South Carolina

Kris Thomas: After trading DeForrest Buckner to the Colts, the reigning NFC Champions now have two first-round picks. After expecting this pick to be a WR to replace Emmanuel Sanders, they shocked everyone by taking Javon Kinlaw. Kinlaw has a great motor, good hands technique,  and has shown he can hold his own in the dangerous waters in the SEC. Now playing alongside Nick Bosa, Dee Ford and Arik Armstead, the Niners have reloaded their pass rush to make another run to the Super Bowl.

15. Denver Broncos (7-9)

 Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama

LeMarkus Bailey: One of the best route runners we’ve seen in years, Jeudy is a known hard worker who has dealt with some hard times. Jeudy was just as effective as Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley were at Alabama, and he should be a key playmaker in week 1. This creates an offense to be feared in Denver, with an emerging Drew Locke leading Courtland Sutton, Noah Fant and Jeudy.

16. Atlanta Falcons (7-9)

 AJ Terrell, CB, Clemson

LeMarkus Bailey: AJ Terrell is a much needed addition to an injury-depleted secondary for Atlanta. Although this pick seems a little early, the Falcons could get value out of Terrell if he is able to remain healthy. With daily practice matchups against arguably the best receiving core in the league, Terrell could transform into an all-pro cornerback by the end of year 1. 

17. Dallas Cowboys (8-8)

 CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

Richie Dordas: In a surprising turn of events, CeeDee Lamb fell to number 17 and into the Dallas Cowboys’ laps. While they still need to shore up a few things in the secondary, Dallas can address those in the second round with a guy like S Grant Delpit. With that being said, the Dallas Cowboys offense is absolutely loaded. Lamb will join an offense of Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and Ezekiel Elliott. If QB Dak Prescott can come to an agreement with the Cowboys, he will definitely have his options throwing the ball.

18. Miami Dolphins (from 8-8 PIT)

 Austin Jackson, OT, USC

Austin Bronstad: Austin Jackson made a lot of sense here, giving Tua someone to help protect him in the same draft. He is a bit of a project who struggled against some of the better teams in college football, but if he can clean up his technique he will be a very good OT in the NFL.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (from 8-8 CHI)

Damon Arnette, DB, Ohio State

Alex Spieldenner: In a surprising decision, the Raiders select Arnette, the Buckeye cornerback who had a massive bounce-back season in 2019. This follows the trend set by the Raiders previous pick, with Las Vegas’ player evaluation clearly a little different from everybody else’s. Though Arnette is talented, this seems to be a reach, as the Ohio State product was projected by some to go as late as the third round. This pick had better be right, or it’s going to be a pretty glaring mistake.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (from 9-7 LAR)

K’lavon Chaisson, DE, LSU

Sam Kirk: The Jaguars get a steal at twenty, getting the second-best pass rusher in the draft to pair with Josh Allen, their first round draft pick last season. Chaisson's last four games as an LSU tiger showed he can cover, pass rush, and play the run, and he provides the Jaguars with their replacement for Yannick Ngakoue.The Jags are rebuilding their defense in round 1, already crossing cornerback and pass rusher off their draft-day needs.

21. Philadelphia Eagles (9-7)

 Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU

Micah Jimoh: CeeDee Lamb didn’t fall to the Eagles, but they came away with a solid receiver anyway in Jalen Reagor. Reagor’s stats aren’t nearly as impressive as some of the other receivers in this draft, but the speedster possesses the ability to take the top off of a defense. His 40 time was only a 4.47, but that was deceiving, as his on-field speed is much better than the time shows. Many will question Philadelphia’s choice to take him over LSU’s Justin Jefferson, and only time will tell if the decision was correct.

22. Minnesota Vikings (from 10-6 BUF)

 Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

Austin Bronstad: I am honestly perplexed at how Jefferson made it to this pick, but here we are. This is a steal for the Vikings, and Jefferson can make an immediate impact with his great route running and ability to go get the ball.

23. LA Chargers ( From NE)

 Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

Alex Spieldenner: After addressing quarterback with their first pick, the Chargers trade up to take the player many felt was the second-best linebacker in the draft. He will likely slot in next to Denzel Perryman, and is generally considered to be a dynamic athlete at the linebacker position. Murray is a good pick overall that will address the Chargers’ need for a good second linebacker.

24. New Orleans Saints (13-3)

 Cesar Ruiz, C, Michigan
Kris Thomas: The Saints looked to stabilize the offensive line with the draft pick of Cesar Ruiz of the Michigan Wolverines. Ruiz is easily the best center in this draft, and will end up being a very underrated pick for the New Orleans Saints. While he may not play center because of Erik McCoy, Ruiz is said to be very versatile, and may end up playing a guard position.

25. Minnesota Vikings (10-6)

 Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State 

Kris Thomas: The 49ers trade up from the 31st spot and find a young and capable replacement for Emmanuel Sanders. He’s only 6’0 tall, but with a 40-inch vertical and a 6’8 wingspan, he’s a more physically imposing WR than his size indicates. He’s a YAC machine, and in Kyle Shannahan’s offense he’ll get the ball in creative ways similar to Deebo Samuel, allowing him to make plays. Good pick for the 49ers.

26. Green Bay Packers (from MIA)

 Jordan Love, QB, Utah State

Kris Thomas: The Packers traded up and got Jordan Love in a shocking pick. Deja vu for the Packers. who are repeating the same formula they did when they Aaron Rodgers and sat him behind Brett Favre for 3 seasons. Love is a raw prospect, but with an opportunity to learn the system behind Rodgers for a few seasons, he’s likely coming into the perfect bridge situation, which will allow Love to enter the lineup seamlessly.

27. Seattle Seahawks (11-5)

Jordyn Brooks, ILB, Texas Tech

Darren Braxton: Brooks is a solid pick for the Seahawks, though he might be a bit too high at this spot. This guy can fly around the field, and he ran a 4.54 at 240 lbs. He is also a tackling machine, and even with the injury concerns should be able to slide right into the starting lineup for Seattle. The best part is that he can pair with Bobby Wagner and learn from one of the best in the business at his position.

28. Baltimore Ravens

Patrick Queen, ILB, LSU

Darren Braxton: The Ravens’ biggest need gets filled here with the pick for Patrick Queen. In Queen, the Ravens get an impact playmaker who can cover well in space, run sideline to sideline and make difficult tackles. Queen is at his best making impact plays, whether it be a tackle for loss, interception or forcing a fumble. The additions of the big guys up front will also allow him to run free so he can excel for the Ravens in the middle of their defense. 

29. Tennessee Titans (9-7)

Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia

Micah Jimoh: After losing Jack Conklin in free agency, the Titans turned to Georgia’s Isaiah Wilson to fill the void at right tackle. A monster in the run game, Tennessee should have no issue running their style of offense with bookend tackles on both sides. Wilson still needs some work before becoming a reliable NFL player, but the Titans have taken the first step in aiding their new franchise QB Ryan Tannehill.

30. Miami Dolphins (From GB)

Noah Igbinoghene, DB, Auburn

Austin Bronstad: Igbinogene is a solid slot corner who should be able to slide in and help a defense that now has a lot of big names in the secondary. The defensive back is extremely athletic, and plays very aggressively when attacking the ball.

31. Minnesota Vikings (From 49ers)

Jeff Gladney, DB, TCU

Austin Bronstad: Gladney is an extremely physical corner with great quickness and a high ceiling. The two biggest knocks on him are his size and that he played in the big 12, but he also showed great coverage ability against those explosive offenses. Great pick.

32. Kansas City Chiefs (12-4)

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU

Darren Braxton: The Chiefs wanted and needed a new running back. Edwards-Helaire is a perfect fit for the system they run, with the ability to run inside or outside the tackles. He is a downhill runner with surprising elusiveness, but he is also a receiving threat: he had 40-plus receptions last year, and gained over 400 yards through the air. He will be highly effective for the Chiefs in tandem with Damien Williams, though he needs to work on his pass blocking. Overall, a solid pick for the Super Bowl champions.

ROUND 2

33. Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson

Austin Bronstad: Tee Higgins is the perfect pick here. It gives Burrow his guy to develop with from the start, and Higgins’ play style, with lots of speed and good route running, fits Burrow’s perfectly. 

34. Indianapolis Colts (from Washington)

Michael Pittman Jr, WR, USC

Micah Jimoh: With their first pick of the draft, the Colts added another weapon for their new QB Philip Rivers. Pittman, a 6’4, 220-lb receiver from USC, will be the perfect complement to speedster T.Y. Hilton. In his senior season, he recorded 101 receptions, good for fifth in school history. After swinging and missing on Devin Funchess, the Colts are trying to rebuild their receiving core, and it looks like they’ve decided to start with Pittman.

35. Detroit Lions

D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia

Richie Dordas: With their second pick of the draft, the Detroit Lions selected RB D’Andre Swift. Swift, who played at Georgia last year, is considered in many people’s eyes the best running back in this draft, though he fell out of the first round yesterday. In 2019, Swift had 1,218 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns, and he will look to provide an explosive rushing attack in Detroit.

36. N.Y. Giants 

Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama 

Sam Kirk: Many thought McKinney would not be here on Day 2. He has tremendous ability to diagnose plays, and can lay the wood when he needs to. The giants get the best safety in the draft at 36, and fill a hole on a secondary which has been suspect for multiple years. The Giants may have made a call to Nick Saban, considering the connection Coach Judge has there. The Alabama safety should be a playmaker right away for the Giants.

37.  New England Patriots

Kyle Dugger, Safety, Lenoir Rhyne

Austin Bronstad: Bill Belichick takes the defensive player of the year from Division 2. Dugger is extremely versatile, can play well in coverage, is big enough to come downhill and hit and he plays special teams. Truly a Bill Belichick pick.

38. Carolina Panthers

Yetur Gross-Matos DE Penn State

Alex Spieldenner: The Panthers lost their top two pass rushers last year, and are hoping to reload with Gross-Matos. The former Nittany Lion had 9 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss in 11 games, and will make plays with his good hands and quick athleticism. You can never use too many pass rushers, particularly when they play like the defensive end out of Penn State. 

39. Miami Dolphins

Robert Hunt, OL, Louisiana-Lafayette

Austin Bronstad: Another pick to help protect Tua. Hunt will more than likely move inside to play guard, but he’s versatile enough to play anywhere on the line. Robert is an extremely violent blocker, and will open run lanes incredibly well.

40. Houston Texans (from Arizona) 

Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU

Sam Kirk: Blacklock is a longer defensive tackle than most. His agility and side-to-side quickness, combined with his size and tackling ability will give the Texans flexibility to move him along the line. He will supply some pass rush to combine with JJ Watt’s elite contribution over the years. The Texans get something right in round 2, and bulk up their defense.

41. Indianapolis Colts (from Cleveland)

Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin

Micah Jimoh: The Colts double-down on offensive stars with the selection of Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor. Taylor rushed for over 2,000 yards in both of the last two seasons, and nearly hit the gaudy mark in his freshman  season with 1,977. His receiving stats aren’t impressive, but he did quadruple his yardage output, from 60 in 2018 to 252 in 2019. Taylor and 1,000-yard rusher Marlon Mack could become one of the best duos in the game. [DONE]

42. Jacksonville Jaguars

Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado

Alex Spieldenner: The Jaguars now have a receiver to line up across from DJ Chark. The Colorado receiver’s yardage actually decreased from his sophomore year to his junior year, from 1,011 to 764, but his yards per catch increased by nearly two yards, and the Jaguars seem to be banking that they can get his overall production back to the 1,000 yard-type season that he had two years ago. They’d better hope they’re right.

43. Chicago Bears (from Las Vegas)

Cole Kmet, TE, Notre Dame

Darren Braxton: The first tight end off the board, and deservedly so. Kmet is big, strong, fast and highly capable in his receiving ability. He can play on the line or split out wide, and he can finally be the tight end the Bears have been looking for. The Bears can now run plenty of 12 personnel with two receiving threats going down the seams in Jimmy Graham and Kmet.

44. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis)

Grant Delpit, S, LSU

Richie Dordas: The Cleveland Browns picked an LSU defensive player in the second round for the second straight season, and this time it’s Grant Delpit. Delpit, who was one of the top safeties in college football, had his best season for the Tigers in 2018 before injuries slowed down his performance in 2019. Delpit will slide into a starting role in the secondary with the departure of safety Damarious Randall, and is a very solid pick by the Browns.

45. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Antoine Winfield Jr. S, Minnesota

LeMarkus Bailey: The Big Ten DPOY, Antoine Winfield Jr has a football pedigree that gives him the football intelligence and presence that will benefit Tampa Bay from day one. As a redshirt sophomore, he is a young, instinctual safety with a high ceiling. The Buccaneers need strong leaders on defense to pair with the firepower on the offensive side of the ball with headliner Tom Brady, and they get that in Winfield Jr. 

46. Denver Broncos

KJ Hamler, WR, Penn State 

LeMarkus Bailey: Hamler is adding to a dynamic draft class already, with the Broncos selecting WR Jerry Jeudy with their first pick. He will have the opportunity to make splash plays early on as a slot guy and return man, especially with young Quarterback Drew Lock at the helm. With this pick, John Elway is looking to shore up the offense for years down the road. 

47. Atlanta Falcons

Marlon Davidson, DL, Auburn

LeMarkus Bailey: This is a solid pick for the struggling Falcons defensive line. With Vic Beasley out as the Falcon starter at end, the line will have a major reshuffle this offseason. Davidson is big and great with his hands, which should equal interior dominance. As the anchor for a strong SEC defense, he will have the ability to lead the entire defensive line and learn from the likes of teammate Grady Jarrett, Tak Mckinley, and Dante Fowler 

48. Seattle (from N.Y. Jets)

Darrell Taylor, DE, Tennessee

Darren Braxton: Taylor is a guy that, in the words of his coaches, “has juice.” He plays with a great motor, and has a good blend of size and speed for the position. He played OLB in college, but will be playing with his hand in the dirt in Seattle. Though he was hurt last season and didn’t look as explosive, in 2018 he was a monster on the edge, and was one of the few Vols in team history to have a 3-sack game in a season. Taylor will help the rebuild of that Seattle defensive line. 

49. Pittsburgh Steelers

Chase Claypool, WR, Norte Dame

Kris Thomas: The Steelers were plagued by the injury bug on offense last year. With Big Ben entering the twilight of his career, he needs a big-body WR to throw the 50/50 balls too. Claypool is raw talent and will have issues getting separation from defenders, but after his exceptional performance at the combine, he’s worth the investment. 

50. Chicago Bears

Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah

Darren Braxton: Length and speed are coming to the Bears secondary. Johnson is exceptional on the boundary, and can do a bit of everything well. He plays off-man, man coverage and zone, and  even tackles well. He has a bit of an injury history recently, but showed toughness throughout and can develop into a a potential starting cornerback opposite Kyle Fuller. Great pick to follow up after getting the best tight end in Kmet.

51. Dallas Cowboys

Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama

Richie Dordas: The Cowboys addressed their defense as advertised with their second round pick, and it was a very good one in Trevon Diggs. Diggs, brother of Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, played his college ball at Alabama, and will look to fill the shoes of Byron Jones, who signed with the Miami Dolphins this offseason. He will join Jourdan Lewis, Anthony Brown, and Chidobe Awuzie to fill out the cornerback position in Dallas.

52. L.A. Rams 

Cam Akers, RB, Florida State,

Austin Bronstad: Great pick for the Rams. Akers showed his ability early, breaking Dalvin Cook's freshman record. He can come in immediately, and be an extremely shifty and productive running back to help replace Todd Gurley. 

53. Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts, QB, Oklahoma

Micah Jimoh: An head-scratching pick here by the Philadelphia Eagles. With other positions demanding more attention, the Eagles selected a quarterback, one of the positions they are already very well-off at. Hurts is an extremely talented player, but not a polished quarterback, or someone who fits the Eagles win-now plans. Hopefully, with 43 career rushing touchdowns to Hurts’ name, Doug Pederson should be able to find a way to utilize the former Oklahoma signal caller. 

54. Buffalo Bills

A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa

Richie Dordas: With their first pick of the draft, the Buffalo Bills added to an already-stout defense by adding defensive end A.J. Epenesa out of Iowa. In 2019, Epenesa had 11.5 sacks, and 14 tackles for loss as a Hawkeye. Epenesa will join a defense that consists of Tre’Davious White, Micah Hyde, Ed Oliver, and Jerry Hughes in hopes to capture the AFC East title and make a deep playoff run.

55. Baltimore  Ravens (from New England through Atlanta)

JK Dobbins, RB, Ohio State

Darren Braxton: This is a pick I would prefer to be a WR, but to get Mark Ingram 2.0 is great value here at pick 55. Dobbin has rushed for over 1,000 yards three straight years against top competition. He might not be that much of a pass catching back, but he can handle pass protection, and runs the ball well inside and outside the tackles. He is best when going north and south, and will be a perfect complement to the stable of backs in Baltimore.

56. Miami Dolphins (from New Orleans)

Raekwon Davis, DE, Alabama

Austin Bronstad: A bit of a reach here. Davis is a good run stopper, but really does not have much ability at getting to the quarterback, and he actually regressed his senior year. The Dolphins must have seen something they liked from Davis.

57. L.A. Rams (from Houston)

Van Jefferson, WR, Florida

Austin Bronstad: It is extremely early to take Jefferson, who most expected to be available until around the 4th round. He has great route running, but he has a lot of question marks, particularly regarding injuries and a lack of production. He is a big receiver with the potential to play well, especially working with Sean McVay. But he likely would have been available later in the draft.

58. Minnesota Vikings

Erza Cleveland, OT, Boise State

Kris Thomas: The Vikings have taken a lot of pride over the last two years in building their offensive line in the draft. Cleveland is a safe pick, good in nearly every aspect but not exceptional in any one category. He’s a project, because he lacks the strength to be a day-one starter, but his footwork is worth the investment. 

59. N.Y. Jets (from Seattle)

Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor

Sam Kirk: Sam Darnold has acquired a tackle and a huge receiver in the first two rounds of the draft. Mims is a solid second-round pick with huge upside. His combine was great, and he showed he had the hands and playmaking ability to be a top target in the NFL.

60. New England Patriots (from Baltimore)

Josh Uche, Edge, Michigan

Austin Bronstad: Uche can come in and start on day one for the Patriots. He is a strong-side linebacker that can come in immediately and replace Kyle Van Noy. The former Wolverine can get to the quarterback, and this pick is perfect for the Patriots.

61. Tennessee Titans

Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

Micah Jimoh: After falling much farther than expected, LSU’s Kristian Fulton finally found a home with the AFC runner-up Tennessee Titans. According to Pro Football Focus, he has forced an incompletion on nearly 30% of passes where he was targeted since 2018. No other corner matches that number. Off-the-field issues threatened to derail his career early, but Fulton now gets a chance to prove himself next to Malcolm Butler and Adoree’ Jackson.  

62. Green Bay Packers

AJ Dillon, RB, Boston College

Kris Thomas- The Packers have been making a slow transition to stop relying on Aaron Rodgers completely, and made Aaron Jones a focal point of the offense last season. With Jones being more of a change-of-pace style back, AJ Dillon can be the Thunder to Jones’ lightning. He’s a downhill runner and a short-yardage vulture, and is the Packers’ latest move towards becoming a run-first team. 

63. Kansas City Chiefs

Willie Gay, LB, Miss. State

Darren Braxton: Gay is a big, physical specimen who can run, and he shows all the traits needed to be a starting linebacker. He might not have the production to match his physical traits, but when he plays he jumps off the screen. He also has some off-the-field issues, in the form of an eight-game suspension and some fights in practice. But if he can clean up his off-the-field issues and stay focused on the field, the Chiefs might have gotten a steal in this pick. 

64. Carolina Panthers (from Seattle through Kansas City)

Jeremy Chinn, S, Southern Illinos 

Kris Thomas: Chinn is a tank. He’s 6’3, 225 lb. safety who runs a mid 4.4 40. He’ll be able to make plays week 1 due to his athleticism, but he shouldn’t be asked to step into man coverage consistently. For a Carolina defense that needs all the help they can get, his versatility in the back end is a good thing to have.

Round 3

65. Cincinnati

Logan Wilson, LB, Wyoming

Austin Bronstad: Wilson is a spectacular pick for the Bengals. An extremely athletic and strong player that will immediately impact the Cincinnati defense, he played in 50 games in his 4 years at college. The linebacker was a 3-year captain at Wyoming who can come in and play all 3 downs right away.

66. Washington

Antonio Gibson, RB/WR, Memphis 

Micah Jimoh: For a team with a young quarterback, adding weapons is the most important thing. Washington did just that by drafting hybrid RB/WR Antonio Gibson. The versatile Gibson totaled 1104 on 71 touches last season, and proved to be one of the best tackle-shedders in the nation. After getting Chase Young in the first round, the Redskins are putting together quite the draft. [DONE]

67. Detroit

Julian Okwara, OLB, Notre Dame

Richie Dordas: With their third-round pick, the Detroit Lions selected Julian Okwara out of Notre Dame. Okwara has a very good skill set with explosiveness, speed and length that allow him to rush the passer from the outside or drop back in coverage. Okwara will join his brother DE Romeo Okwara on the Detroit Lions and to upgrade for the Lions pass rush.

68. N.Y. Jets (from N.Y. Giants)

Ashytn Davis, S, CAL

Sam Kirk: Davis, the former track star, is going to pair up with Jamal Adams. Davis proved at California that he could handle and cover a lot of ground while playing centerfield. For the Jets, getting their third safety allows them to be more flexible with defensive sets. The Jets are making things happen with their first three picks. There is room for excitement in New York.

69. Seattle (from Carolina)

Damien Lewis, OG, LSU

Darren Braxton: Lewis is a solid pick up for the Hawks. He is big and physical in the running game, able to just move people when called upon. In the passing game, he has good technique, and can hold up well against a lot of power move guys. He needs to make his mobility a bit more fluid in both categories, but can adapt to that at the next level. He will surely step in immediately and help with the power running scheme that the Seahawks want to run.

70. Miami

Brandon Jones, S, Texas

Austin Bronstad: A 4-year starter at Texas, Jones is truly is a do it all player. He is very good in coverage, isn’t afraid to hit people and is an amazing player on special teams. He is going to be one of the biggest steals of the draft. 

71. Baltimore

Justin Madubuike, DL, Texas A&M

Darren Braxton: The Ravens will not be run on this upcoming season, as Madubuike will be disruptive on the defensive front. In the running game, he is big and physical at the point of attack. And in the passing game, he can collapse the pocket or knife through the offense to attack the quarterback. He had 5.5 sacks last season, and will continue that effort when paired with Calasis Campbell, Derek Wolfe and Brandon Williams up front. The front seven looked to be the weakness on this defense, but not anymore. This pickup makes the entire defense just scary from top to bottom.

72. Arizona

Josh Jones, OT, Houston

Darren Braxton: The biggest needs for the Cardinals are on the offensive line, and Josh Jones can definitely help fill the need for a right tackle to complete the line. Jones is an experienced guy as a three year starter at LT. Though he only played nine games due to injury, he was still voted 2nd-team all-conference at Houston. The injury isn’t a concern for the Cardinals, though, as he doesn’t need to start immediately. But his ability to hold up in the passing game, and the power he displays in the running game, will push him to start from day one. I can’t wait to see how he transitions from LT to RT in the NFL. 

73. Jacksonville

Davon Hamilton, DT, Ohio State

Kris Thomas: The rebuilding  of “Sacksonville” is on. Hamilton has a good motor and a quick first step, and that makes hima proficient run stopper. He shows consistent ability to get penetration at the line of scrimmage and get to the QB.  And just like at Ohio State, he’ll get one-on-one opportunities while playing alongside a brilliant pass rusher, this time Josh Allen. He didn’t play much his last season at Ohio State, but the tape is good enough to show he’ll be a quality starter in this league. 

74. New Orleans (from Cleveland)

Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin

Richie Dordas: The Saints traded up with the Cleveland Browns to select Wisconsin linebacker Zack Baun. One of the better picks value-wise, New Orleans got a very good football player with their third-round pick. Baun may see some snaps in 2020, but he will have to perform excellently to get steady snaps in New Orleans. In the future though, Zack Baun will be an exciting player in the NFL.

75. Detroit (from Indianapolis)

Jonah Jackson, G, Ohio State

Richie Dordas: After trading up in a deal with the Indianapolis Colts, the Lions upgraded in the trenches with Ohio State guard Jonah Jackson. Jackson, who some analysts felt could have snuck up to as far as the first-round, is a good pickup for Detroit in an effort to protect Matt Stafford and open up holes in the running game. 

76. Tampa Bay

Ke’Shawn Vaughn, RB, Vanderbilt 

LeMarkus Bailey: A Big Ten transfer and SEC bell cow, Vaughn displayed a durability that could be valuable for the Buccaneers. His running value comes in the shape of consistent, chain-moving running that can extend drives for the Buccaneers. A powerful runner with supreme break-away speed, Vaughn will have the ability to take over the Tampa Bay backfield before Week 1. 

77. Denver

Michael Ojemudia, CB, Iowa 

LeMarkus Bailey: Ojemudia is a long and rangy cornerback that could play in any scheme. His range allows him to play in the deep third, or even matchup on an island. Denver will likely ask him to match up in many man situations, and his ability to locate the ball in coverage will be a great addition for the Broncos defense, which will likely force several hurried passes that lead to interceptions.

78. Atlanta

Matt Hennessey, OL, Temple

LeMarkus Bailey: Hennessy will help to replenish an aging offensive line for the Atlanta Falcons. As a 3-year starter at Temple, he has shown consistency and, although it will be difficult to learn a new offensive scheme, his longevity as a leader should translate well to a pass-heavy Falcons offense.

79. N.Y. Jets

Jabari Zuniga, DE, Florida

Sam Kirk: Zuniga has pass rush potential, and is a very proven run defender. His range on the line is remarkable, and was an effort player at Florida, using his speed to cover ground all over the field. The Jets do a solid job replacing Leonard Williams with a mid-round pick.

80. Las Vegas 

Lynn Bowden Jr, WR, Kentucky 

Sam Kirk: Bowden Jr is the definition of a football player. A receiver at Kentucky who was asked to play quarterback in the second half of last season, he’s shown elite special-teams potential with his freakish versatility that allows him to fly around the field.

81. Las Vegas (from Chicago)

Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina

Sam Kirk: Edwards has shown the ability to make highlight-reel catches, and is tough to bring down after the catch. However, he lacks the extra speed and consistent hands of an elite wide receiver prospect. Oakland grabs another tough physical weapon for Derek Carr, though Edwards is a project and likley won’t work Day 1. If he can be an effective player in 2-3 years, this pick will be worth it.

 82. Dallas

Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma

Richie Dordas: The Cowboys stuck with their plan to draft on the defensive side of the ball in the third round by drafting Neville Gallimore. Gallimore, a defensive tackle out of Oklahoma, has very good quickness for an interior lineman, and brings pressure up the middle very well. Behind two veterans in Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe, this pick may not affect Dallas this year, but will give Gallimore time to grow as a football player.

83. Denver (from Pittsburgh)

Lloyd Cushenberry, OL, LSU

LeMarkus Bailey: Cushenberry is the type of guy that will anchor an entire offensive line for years. Hailed as one of the best centers in LSU history, he helped propel teammate Joe Burrow to a Heisman trophy. A former team captain, honor roll guy, and graduate, his leadership potential will surely be a big help for young passer Drew Lock.  

84. L.A. Rams

Terrell Lewis, LB, Alabama

Austin Bronstad: Lewis is such an incredible athlete that, if he plays, he could be as good as a first-round player. Unfortunately, he reportedly had 2 microfractures in the same knee that, more than likely, could keep him from ever touching the field for the Rams.

85. Indianapolis (from Detroit through Philadelphia)

Julian Blackmon, S, Utah

Micah Jimoh: The Colts used their third pick in the draft to finally attend to the defensive side of the ball. After a strong season in which he recorded four interceptions, Blackmon tore his ACL in the Pac-12 championship, hampering his draft stock. Indianapolis took a chance on the playmaking safety anyway, possibly hinting at the end of Malik Hooker’s time as a Colt. Blackmon follows in the footsteps of Marcus Williams and Marquis Blair as safeties from Utah to make it to the NFL.

86. Buffalo

Zack Moss, RB, Utah

Richie Dordas: The Buffalo Bills move to the ground game with this third round pick. Zack Moss, a running back out of Utah, is described as a tough, physical running back, and will complement nicely with pass-catching back Devin Singletary. Expect them to give touches to Singletary on passing downs and Moss in short-yard situations.

87. New England

Anfernee Jennings, EDGE, Alabama

Austin Bronstad: The Patriots drafted another guy that has drawn comparisons to Kyle Van Noy. Jennings has the ability to rush the pass, but then this last year played a lot of stand-up linebacker. He can play inside or outside, and as long as he can avoid some of the injuries he suffered in college he will be a versatile starter for the Patriots. 

88. Cleveland (from New Orleans)

Jordan Elliott, DT, Missouri

Richie Dordas: With their first third-round pick, the Cleveland Browns stayed on the defensive side of the ball, drafting Jordan Elliott. At Missouri, Elliott was named 2nd Team All-American. He is a work in progress, but has sky-high potential to be a solid player on the Browns defensive line in a few years.

89. Minnesota

Cam Dantzler, DB, Mississippi State

Austin Bronstad: Dantzler only allowed one touchdown in his two seasons starting. He is an extremely physical and tough player who can start immediately, but he does not have the ability to run with many receivers. What he can do, though, is be extremely physical at the line and work well in zone coverage.

90. Houston 

Jonathan Greenard, LB, Florida

Sam Kirk: Greenard was a team captain at Louisville who transferred to Florida. He knows how to set the edge, and has some of the fastest hands this draft has to offer at linebacker. This is a solid pick, and the Texans have themselves a linebacker who will compete for a starting job.

91. New England (from Las Vegas through Seattle)

Devin Asiasi, TE, UCLA

Austin Bronstad: Asiasi will immediately come in to start for the Patriots. He is extremely athletic, and can line up on the line of scrimmage to block as well. He only had 641 yards in 2019, but was severely underused.

92. Baltimore

Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas

Darren Braxton: Duvernay is a guy that can fly, and jumps off the screen when he’s playing. Last year alone, he caught 106 passes for over 1,300 yards. Then he ran a 4.39 at the 2020 NFL combine. He played primarily in the slot, but can go on the boundary and separate for the catch. Not only can he be a deep threat for the Ravens, but he is a guy that has amazing run-after-the-catch ability, and can take a slant the full length of the field. Duvernay will be one of many weapons for QB Lamar Jackson, the reigning league MVP, and should help with Jackson’s development going forward.  

93. Tennessee

Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachian St.

Micah Jimoh: The perfect complement to the bruising Derrick Henry, Appalachian State’s Darrynton Evans has found a home in Tennessee. Evans ranked ninth in the nation in rushing yards last year, falling just 20 yards short of the 1,500 yard mark. He also doubles as a returner, recording 1,439 kick return yards over the last three seasons. When Henry is out of the game, the Titans should have no issue keeping their offense moving with Evans.

94. Green Bay

Josiah Degura, TE, Cincinnati

Kris Thomas: The Packers want to continue to run a lot more 12-personnel, in which Rodgers had better than a 110 QB rating. With Jimmy Graham gone, they needed a replacement to go along with TE Jace Sternburger. Degura’s route running for a TE is solid, but he’s not the best athlete. Either way, the Packers got a gritty TE to develop around Aaron Rodgers and, eventually, Jordan Love.

95. Denver (from San Francisco)

McTelvin Agim, DL, Arkansas

LeMarkus Bailey: With a little over a year of solid production, Agim can be seen as somewhat of a developmental project. Although he has some raw natural ability and good speed for his position, it is unlikely he will vie for a starting job. That being said, he could definitely help shore up some injury slots.

96. Kansas City

Lucas Niang, OT, TCU

Darren Braxton: This is a depth move for the reigning champs, as Niang will have a chance to develop behind the pair of good bookends in Tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz. He has a good foundation in his size and strength, and also has decent mobility for the guy playing either tackle spot. He will be the sixth lineman going into the season for Kansas City, and it never hurts to get depth for positions of importance. 

97. Cleveland (from Houston)*

Jacob Phillips, ILB, LSU

Richie Dordas: Yet another LSU player is off the table. With their second and final pick of Day 2, the Cleveland Browns selected linebacker Jacob Phillips out of LSU. Phillips is known for his skills in the run game, but struggles dropping back in coverage a little bit. With Joe Schobert gone, Phillips may see a lot of playing time in 2020, and will only get more experienced and grow as a coverage player.

98. Baltimore (from New England)

Malik Harrison, ILB, Ohio State

Darren Braxton: The Ravens defense continues to get scarier as the picks go along. Now, with the 98th pick, they find the future running mate for Patrick Queen in Harrison. The former Buckeye is a bigger back, with good speed. Unlike Queen, his speciality is his ability to take on blocks, shed the lineman, then stop the run. He can still get out and cover well in space, but he is more of a downhill attacker than Queen. Harrison can also get after the quarterback very well: he had seven sacks in the last two seasons, which fits the heavy blitz scheme Wink Martindale loves to play. When you combine the two linebackers, you get a tandem that can roam the second level for years to come. 

99. N.Y. Giants*

Matt Peart, T, UCONN

Sam Kirk: Matt Peart was a four year starter at UConn. A team captain, he’s a little raw, but has a great build and long arms to be a solid tackle. With Marc Colombo’s expertise, the Giants’ offensive line has the chance to be in the top half of the league this year. The development and protection of Jones and Barkley remains the primary goal in New York.

100. Las Vegas (from New England)*

Taylor Muse, S, Clemson 

Sam Kirk: A captain at Clemson his senior year, Muse’s forty-yard dash seemed to wow teams, as he ran the second fastest forty of all safeties at the combine. Muse will be able to play in multiple roles for the Raiders, making him a good fit who so should become a fan favorite in Vegas.

101.New England  (traded N.Y. Jets from Seattle)*

Dalton Keene, TE, Virginia Tech

Austin Bronstad: The 250-pound TE will do a lot of moving other people around. He can spend time in the slot, or on the line blocking, and he also has the ability to go behind the line of scrimmage and act as a full back. The primary question is whether his game translates to New England. 

102. Pittsburgh*

Alex Highsmith, DE, Charlotte

Kris Thomas: Alex Highsmith has all tools to be a high motor pass rusher. In his senior campaign, he ranked in the top 5 on the national level in tackles for loss and sacks. He has all the moves to be a premier pass rusher in this league, and down the line, could pose as a threat opposite of TJ Watt. Right now, he’s a raw pass rusher that isn’t effective on run downs and doesn’t have the strength to get off blockers. Pittsburgh normally don’t miss when drafting defensive players this high, so keep an eye out for his development.

103. Philadelphia*

Davion Taylor, LB, Colorado

Micah Jimoh: The Eagles finally addressed the linebacker position with former track star Davion Taylor. The speedy LB still needs a lot of development, but his traits are exceptional: Taylor ran a 4.49 40-yard dash, and his quickness is apparent on the field. He’s also a very good tackler, totaling 72 of them in his senior season. 

104. L.A. Rams*

Terrell Burgess, DB/S, Utah

Austin Bronstad: Burgess is an extremely versatile and very physical player. He has 4.46 speed, and can play in the safety role or move into the slot and play corner.

105. New Orleans (from Minnesota)*

Adam Trautman, TE, Dayton

Richie Dordas: With many people surprised to see him drop this low, Adam Trautman fell into the New Orleans Saints’ laps. Trautman is one of the bigger tight ends in this draft, and many consider this a steal for the Saints, especially with an offense that spreads the wealth across the middle of the field with Drew Brees at QB. Look for Trautman to get into some two-tight end sets, along with playing on special teams. 

106. Baltimore*

Tyre Phillips, OT, Miss. State

Darren Braxton: Phillips is a great fit in the Ravens front. He started at LT the last 13 games and only allowed two sacks, though his best fit is to slide inside to guard. He is 6’5” and 320 plus pounds, and can maul you at the point of attack in the running game. In the passing game, he just stonewalls people, and with he makes sure you can’t get into his chest with his long arms. He is big, strong and physical, traits that just scream “Raven lineman.” Phillips could even be the heir to Marshal Yanda, if he develops correctly. Worst-case scenario, he will develop into a great swing tackle to back up Ronnie Staley and Orlando Brown Jr. This guy is a perfect pick to end Day 2 of the draft on. 

Round 4

107. Cincinnati Bengals

Akeeem Davis-Gaither, OLB, App State

Austin Bronstad: Davis-Gaither is a bit on the small side, but he is extremely strong and hard working. He gets to the quarterback quickly, and many viewed him as a day-2 pick.

108. Washington Redskins

Saahdiq Charles, OL, LSU

Micah Jimoh: Right after trading away 10-year veteran Trent Williams, the Redskins take LSU’s Saahdiq Charles to try and replace him. Charles dealt with some off-the-field issues in college, including a multi-game suspension in his last season. If he can move past those problems, the 321-pounder offers plenty of potential to work with.

109. Las Vegas Raiders (From DET)

John Simpson, OL, Clemson

Sam Kirk: Simpson is a bully on the field, and is primarily known for being an effective run blocker. He has slow feet, but is a pick that will create more youth on the Raiders’ offensive line. Simpson has no chance to play well right away, but over time could be an average starter.

110. N.Y. Giants

Darnay Holmes, CB, UCLA

LeMarkus Bailey: A kid with extreme upside and athleticism out of UCLA, Darnay Holmes is used to being in the spotlight. The son of former NFL Player Andre Holmes, he has the pedigree that anyone would love to have. At 5’9 and 190 lbs, he plays much bigger than his size. Comparable to the twitch and competitiveness of Tyrann Matthieu, Holmes can add a much-needed fire and depth to the depleted Giants secondary. 

111. Miami Dolphins

Solomon Kindley, OL, Georgia

Austin Bronstad: The Dolphins add a player in Kindley who has ample experience starting. He played for 3 years, mainly at guard, for Georgia. This was a solid time to pick Kindley, who could become a decent player. 

112. L.A. Chargers

Joshua Kelley, RB, UCLA

LeMarkus Bailey: Kelley was a standout at the 2020 Senior Bowl as one of the few running backs to have a long touchdown run. His short stature and powerful legs make him almost impossible to bring down. Combined with a great burst, and good vision, Kelley will give the young Justin Herbert another backfield outlet not only on the ground, but also through the air.

113. Carolina Panthers

Troy Pride, DB, Notre Dame

Kris Thomas: Carolina is getting a steal in the 4th round. According to Pro Football Focus, he was challenged on throws of 25 yards or more 175 times during his time at Notre Dame, and only gave up five catches. Whether in zone or man coverage, he has the footwork to play in any scheme, and although his wingspan isn’t ideal for a starting corner he still has good technique to undercut the pass. Panthers are getting some quality defensive rookies, and Pride Jr. is no exception to that.

114. Arizona Cardinals

Leki Fotu, DT, Utah

Darren Braxton: This is a great depth and development guy for the Cardinals. Fotu is a 6’5”, 330 lb behemoth who will destroy people in the running game. He is known for his run stopping ability, where he takes on two blockers to free up linebackers, or he takes his one-on-one matchup and puts the blocker in the running back’s lap. He will back up Corey Peters and Jordan Phillips, so he won’t be asked to do too much yet. In two to three years though, he will be an anchor for this defensive front.

115. Cleveland Browns

Harrison Bryant TE,  Florida Altantic

Richie Dordas: With their only pick in the fourth round, the Cleveland Browns add athleticism to their air attack by drafting Harrison Bryant, a tight end out of Florida Atlantic. In 2019, Bryant won the John Mackey award, which is given to the best tight end in college football. Bryant will join David Njoku and Austin Hooper at the tight end position, one now filled with athleticism and receiving ability.

116. Jacksonville Jaguars

Ben Bartch, OL, Saint John’s 

Kris Thomas: Ben Bartch has only played left tackle for two years after converting and playing tight end his first two years. After the transition, Bartch got a lot of notice for his play, earning second-team All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors & first-team all-league and Offensive Lineman of the Year honors in 14 starts at left tackle. He’s a gifted athlete for his size, doing hurdles and relay in high school. His lack of experience at the position will hold him from getting any playing time right away, but the potential is there.

117. Minnesota Vikings

DJ Wonnum, DL, South Carolina

Austin Bronstad: Wonnum is an edge rusher that has good quickness for his size. He needs to work on adding to his power rushing ability, and needs to improve his bend on his pass rush.

118. Denver Broncos

Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri

LeMarkus Bailey: At 6’5’’ and 250 pounds, Okwuegbunam is a physical talent that comes to the Broncos as great value. Hize size makes him a potential threat anytime he matches up. Although he isn’t the best in run blocking, his size makes up for the lack of skill. It will be interesting to see how Denver plans to utilize him with his former Missouri teammate, Drew Lock.

119. Atlanta Falcons

Mykal Walker, LB, Fresno State

LeMarkus Bailey: Walker seems to be a prototype of current Falcon linebacker Dion Jones. He’s not a huge linebacker, but he is versatile, as he is able to play in the middle as well as on the edge and in the pass rush. However, his open field tackling ability allows him to play in space and create big plays with his physicality. The Falcons will need to develop him to be a good value. 

120. N.Y. Jets

La’Mical Perine, RB, Florida

Sam Kirk: Perine isn’t going to amaze anyone with the plays he makes. He creates simple runs, and is effective in some short yardage situations. The Jets have been known to go with a committee at tailback, so Perine will be in the mix for snaps and the occasional third down play. 

121. Detroit Lions

Logan Stenberg, OL, Kentucky

Richie Dordas: The Lions continue to clean up their offensive line by picking Logan Stenberg out of Kentucky. Stenberg was a very solid player at Kentucky, but penalties are an issue that he will need to clean up to stick in the NFL.

122. Indianapolis Colts

Jacob Eason, QB, Washington

Micah Jimoh: With their fourth round pick, the Colts opts to look ahead by taking quarterback Jacob Eason. Eason’s arm talent is tremendous, and Indy hopes that he can become a quality starter in the future. Luckily for Eason, he sits behind two veterans to learn from in Philip Rivers and Jacoby Brissett.

123. Dallas Cowboys

Reggie Robinson II, CB, Tulsa

After going in the trenches in the third round, Dallas goes back to the secondary with their fourth-round pick. The Cowboys selected cornerback Reggie Robinson II out of Tulsa. Daniel Jeremiah said Robinson, “was the most improved cornerback in the draft” and “was the best Day 3 cornerback.” One fact about Robinson is that he is deaf in his left ear, but it did not seem to bother teams too much. Robinson will most likely get some snaps in nickel coverages, but will have to work his way up to get starting snaps in 2020. With that being said, the future is bright for Robinson.

124. Pittsburgh Steelers

Anthony McFarland Jr, RB, Maryland

Kris Thomas: Last year we saw the Steelers running attack suffered due to a staggering amount of injuries. McFarland adds depth to the position, and has shown good vision between the tackles and big-play ability (look at the game in 2018 vs. Ohio State). However, his senior year was hindered due to ankle injury. McFarland Jr. has had his fair  share of injuries since high school, but when healthy and right he’s a solid addition to the Steelers.

125. New York Jets

James Morgan, QB, FIU

Sam Kirk: This pick doesn’t make much sense. The Jets have way bigger holes to fill than backup QB, and they pass up on an opportunity to select a corner to deepen their secondary. Morgan has backup potential in the league, but looks to be nothing more. Gase has had a strong draft, but there’s a little bump in the road here.

126. Houston Texans

Charlie Heck, OL, UNC

Sam Kirk: The Texans find some late round protection here for Watson. Heck is the son of a former NFL player, and has the size and experience to succeed in the league just as his father did. The ability to play both left and right tackle is something to be taken into consideration. He’s a little bit of a project, but has the resources around him to become an eventual starter.

127. Philadelphia Eagles

K’Von Wallace, S, Clemson

Micah Jimoh: PFF’s highest-graded coverage safety (among draft-eligible players) since 2017, Clemson’s K’Von Wallace can make an immediate impact for Philly. His influence on Clemson’s defense was overshadowed by other stars (such as Isaiah Simmons), but his play speaks for itself. In 2019, Wallace recorded 72 tackles and two sacks to go along with an interception. He could become a very good box safety for years to come.

128. Buffalo Bills

Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF

Richie Dordas: Josh Allen has a new receiver to throw to. The Buffalo Bills use their first fourth round pick on Gabriel Davis, a wide receiver out of UCF. Davis is a big, physical threat, and creates space well on the sideline, but struggles with quickness off the line and has a very limited route tree. With that being said, this pick is a nice complement to Stefon Diggs and John Brown as a red zone option for Buffalo. He also has good run blocking ability, which will get him snaps in the red zone. Nice pick by Buffalo.

129. New York Jets

Cameron Clark, OL, Charlotte

Sam Kirk: The Jets get their second tackle of the draft, showing they are all-in on protecting Darnold. Clark has experience at Charlotte, and was a first team all-conference-USA selection. If Clark can make the jump from a smaller school to an NFL team, he will compete for a job at tackle for years to come.

130.Minnesota Vikings

James Lynch, DL, Baylor

Austin Bronstad: Lynch was a standout at Baylor. He can play inside or outside, and can get into the backfield as well as locking down the run. Vikings fans should expect to see him on the field often.

131. Arizona Cardinals (from Houston)

Rashard Lawrence, DL, LSU

Darren Braxton: “Overhauling” would be the words to describe the last two picks for the Cardinals. After getting Fotu, they go and get a compliment for him in Lawrence. Lawrence isn’t as big as Fotu (6’2”, 302 lbs.), but can do the one thing that Fotu struggles in. Lawrence will do his best work in collapsing the pocket against the pass or just rushing to the quarterback and getting pressures that should lead to many sacks. He has played against great competition in college by playing in the SEC, so he will be able to compete at the next level and find a rotational role early on in his career.  

132. Minnesota Vikings

Troy Dye, LB, Oregon

Austin Bronstad: Dye was a very productive linebacker at Oregon despite being slightly undersized. Dye is extremely athletic, and should be able to step in and contribute for the Vikings.

133. Seattle Seahawks 

Colby Parkinson, TE, Stanford

Darren Braxton: A highly underrated prospect at TE, Parkinson is huge at 6’7” and 250 lbs, and quite fast at that size. He is best in the receiving game, where he uses that size, strength and speed to win 50/50 balls thrown his way. He can be split out wide or play on the line. He is particularly good down the seams, and even with all this receiving ability he can still be a good-to-great blocker with his effort. He can even get better at this skill when he adds some more strength to his frame.

134. Atlanta Falcons

Jaylinn Hawkins, DB, Cal

LeMarkus Bailey: Hawkins seems more natural as an underneath cover guy, but his instincts help him to track the ball anywhere. He is able to play close to the box and disguise himself well to come off the edge or drop into hook coverage. His speed allows him to play at any safety position for the Falcons. 

135. Pittsburgh Steelers (from Tennessee through Miami)

Kevin Dotson, OL, Louisiana-Lafayette

Kris Thomas: Last season, Louisiana-Lafayette prided themselves on their ability to run the football, and they finished top 5 nationally in that department. Dotson has good strength and fundamentals to excel as a run blocking guard, which is good for the Steelers considering they have been a bottom-5 running football team the last two seasons. 

136. LA Rams (From Green Bay)

Brycen Hopkins, TE, Purdue

Austin Bronstad: Hopkins is a very athletic receiving TE. He will line up in the slot and go get the ball for the Rams. 

137. Jacksonville Jaguars

Josiah Scott, CB, Michigan State 

Kris Thomas: Scott checks off all the boxes in the athletic and ball-hawking department to be an effective corner on the next level. However, he has been riddled with injuries over the last two seasons, one of which was a meniscus tear in 2018, which is the only red flag for me. 

138. Kansas City Chiefs

L’Jarius Sneed, DB, Louisiana Tech

Darren Braxton: Sneed is a bit of a developmental player, but a great prospect nonetheless. He switched from corner to safety in 2019, and showed good speed. He isn’t the most fluid prospect in and out of breaks, but he can improve in his technique. He is an effective wrap-up tackler, but not a thumper. Ideally, for him to play safety full time in the league he needs to fill out his frame a bit more, but he can develop into a solid starter in time.

139. Las Vegas Raiders

Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech

Sam Kirk: Robertson will mesh with Gruden's dog-like style, standing at only 5’8 and playing with physical toughness and strength unnatural for his size. Worst-case scenario, Robertson becomes a successful special-teamer in Oakland, but look for this young prospect to turn heads.

140. Jacksonville (from Chicago)*

Shaquille Quarterman, LB, Miami

Kris Thomas: Quarterman was the first Miami linebacker to start as a freshman since Dan Morgan back in 1998. During his career, he was awarded 1st team All-ACC in back-to-back years in 2018 and 2019. He’s durable and is a sound tackler, but he won’t be a 3-down linebacker on the next level due to his lack of speed and footwork. Regardless, the Jaguars got a potential locker room leader and high-character player.  

141. Houston Texans

John Reid, DB, Penn State

Sam Kirk: Reid was a successful corner at Penn State. He was able to make tackles and capitalize on interceptions, but his knee injury from a few years back may have scared some teams off. Regardless, the former Nittany Lion has played in the big games against the best opponents, and the Texans need depth in a secondary that has seemed injury-riddled the last few seasons.

142. Washington Redskins

Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty

Micah Jimoh: The Redskins continue their exceptional draft by adding another WR in Gandy-Golden. Standing 6’4 and 223 lbs, Gandy-Golden’s mix of size and athleticism poses a huge threat to defenses. He broke the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his last two seasons at Liberty.

143. Baltimore Ravens

Ben Bredeson, OL, Michigan

Darren Braxton: Bredeson is another offensive lineman that can develop into the heir apparent to one Marshall Yanda.  He is a 4-year starter and 2-time captain, so he is very experienced and mature coming in. His greatest asset, though, is his strength in the running game. He is a mauler, and fits in perfectly with the Ravens game plan. He just needs to get better in the passing game, as his lateral mobility is a weakness. Fortunately, he shows good technique in hand placement. 

144. Seattle Seahawks

DeeJay Dallas, RB, Miami

Darren Braxton: Dallas is a solid back that can do a bit of everything but isn’t exceptional at anything. He has good balance, plays faster than his 40 time, and can catch the ball out the backfield well. He was a former receiver, and has flashes the ball skills needed to produce in that area. On top of that, he can contribute on special teams, where he averaged 17.4 yards per punt and even got a punt return in 2018. 

145. Philadelphia Eagles

Jack Driscoll, OL, Auburn

Micah Jimoh: With their second pick of the fourth round, the Eagles finally added an offensive lineman. Auburn’s Jack Driscoll, who many passed on due to his lack of arm length and strength, finds a home in Philadelphia. Driscoll’s athleticism could lead to him carving out a role with the Eagles.

146. Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin

Richie Dordas: With the last pick in the fourth round, the Dallas Cowboys traded up with the Philadelphia Eagles to grab Tyler Biadasz. With the sudden retirement of Travis Frederick, Dallas is looking at Biadasz to be his replacement. The Wisconsin center will have big shoes to fill, but is widely regarded as a very good pick for Dallas. Biadasz specializes in run blocking, and will look to create holes for Ezekiel Elliott in 2020.

Round 5

147. Cincinnati Bengals

Khalid Kareem, Edge, Notre Dame

Austin Bronstad: Kareem is a strong edge rusher that slipped due to his lack of athleticism and testing. He missed any chance at proving his athleticism due to a shoulder injury he was recovering from.

148. Seattle (from Carolina through Washington)

Alton Robinson, DL, Edge Syracuse

Darren Braxton: Robinson has the ideal size, speed and strength to play on the edge. He has a great initial first step but can’t counter well if he doesn’t get by with that step. He does, however, possess great run stopping ability. He is disruptive at the point of attack and can slip blockers when chasing from the backside. He will need to improve his strength at the next level, though, as he can tend to give a bit of ground sometimes when he has to get off blocks. 

149. Indianapolis (from Detroit)

Danny Pinter, OL, Ball State

Micah Jimoh: A converted tight end, Indiana native Danny Pinter is a player Colts fans can be excited for. He hasn’t played on the offensive line for a long time, but he’s already shown his versatility as a guard/tackle combo. After failing to trade up, the player Indy wanted fell right into their laps.

150. N.Y. Giants

Shane Lemieux, OL, Oregon

Sam Kirk: Lemieux blocked behind one of the nation’s best quarterbacks at Oregon. The Giants, who have been high on Herbert for years now, may have found some talent in the trenches from Eugene. Gettleman thinks this former Duck has potential at center, though Lemieux is a bit of a wild card here at 150.

151. L.A. Chargers

Joe Reed, WR, Virginia

LeMarkus Bailey: Reed is a good athlete with supreme vision and speed, displayed by his 5 career return touchdowns. He will be primarily used by the Chargers in a special teams primary role. 

152. Carolina Panthers 

Kenny Robinson, DB, West Virginia

Kris Thomas: Robinson didn’t play safety until his freshman year at West Virginia. When he was dismissed from the team for academic fraud, he opted to play in the XFL to showcase himself. Robinson has shown he can change the game with his ball-hawking ability or with a hit stick. Robinson still lacks the proper fundamentals, such as open field tackling and lack of anticipation, for a safety. He’ll be an interesting project to watch in Carolina.

153. San Francisco

Colton McKivitz, OL, West Virginia

Kris Thomas: With Joe Staley retiring, and even after trading for Trent Williams, who is slowly climbing up there with age (he turns 32 in July), the 49ers added project depth. He lacks the ideal strength to be an effective tackle right now, but the Shannahan coaching tree knows how to coach up linemen. 

154. Miami (from Jacksonville through Pittsburgh)

Jason Strowbridge, DL, UNC

Austin Bronstad: Strowbridge has upside as a pass rusher, and has very good length and size. He flashed at the senior bowl, but obviously has some work to do.

155. Chicago Bears

Trevis Gipson, OLB, Tulsa

Darren Braxton: Here is another good prospect, with all the measurables you want in an edge defender. He’s 6’3”, 260 lb, and has good length with his arms and hands. He flashes a good first step and violent hands when coming around the edge. He even has a good inside move rushing the passer, but can improve in his counter moves. He gets stopped when his initial move doesn’t work, and gets caught in a block. In the run game, he is disruptive and can make plays in the backfield, but again needs some improvement when disengaging from his blocks.  

156. Washington Redskins

Keith Ismeal, OL San Diego State

Micah Jimoh: With the selection of Ismeal, the Redskins add some depth to their offensive line. The versatile lineman has the ability to play both center and guard, and he will likely backup the current starting center Chase Roullier.

157. Jacksonville (from Baltimore through Atlanta)

Daniel Thomas DB , Auburn

Kris Thomas: Thomas is at his best when he’s playing downhill and against the run. He’s a fundamentally sound tackler with good anticipation when jumping short routes. He’ll be an effective box safety to start off his career, but he’ll need to work on ball skills and deep-zone coverage skills. 

158. N.Y. Jets

Bryce Hall, DB, Virginia

Sam Kirk: Hall was projected for Day 2 on most boards. The Jets take the risk on Hall, who is coming off ankle surgery and did not go through the combine. The former Cavalier showed promise early in his young career, if he can stay healthy for a few years and regain his confidence the Jets defense will benefit tremendously.

159. New England (from Las Vegas)

Justin Rohrwasser, K, Marshall 

Austin Bronstad: I mean, he’s a kicker. But if Belichick drafted him to play kicker for the Patriots, he’s probably going to end up in the Hall of Fame. Congrats.

160. Cleveland (from Indianapolis)

Nick Harris, C, Washington

Richie Dordas: The Cleveland Browns went a very intriguing route with this pick of Nick Harris. Harris, a center out of Washington, is very good, but is not versatile enough to move around on the line to a guard or a tackle position. With J.C. Tretter locked as the starting center for Cleveland, this pick is nothing more than just adding depth to their offensive line in case of injury.

161. Tampa Bay

Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota

LeMarkus Bailey: Johnson falling this late is surprising, given his high level of productivity in the Big Ten. His 33 career touchdowns broke a career record for a Gophers receiver since Eric Decker. His consistency and production will pair well with superstar Tom Brady and the stable of current receivers. 

162. Washington (from Seattle from Pittsburgh)

Khaleke Hudson, LB, Michigan

Micah Jimoh: Khaleke Hudson is listed as a linebacker, but that doesn’t even begin to describe his position. Hudson lines up on the defensive line, at safety, and even at cornerback. Standing barely six feet tall, he’s extremely undersized, and it remains unclear where he will fit in at the NFL level. He recorded 101 tackles in 2019.

163. Chicago

Kindle Victor, CB, Georgia Southern

Darren Braxton: I love this pick, and I love the prospect even more. Victor has been improving his draft stock since the end of the college football season, and he tested well and showed good length for a shorter cornerback. He has good jamming skills at the line of scrimmage and plays bigger than his size . He finished his college career with nine picks, and flashed good ball skills. On the other hand, he needs improvement in areas like tackling and fighting through his blocks. On top of that, he isn’t the most fluid corner and he doesn’t play as fast as his 40 time. He can develop in time, but needs some tweaks before he can be a regular contributor.  

164. Miami (from Dallas)

Curtis Weaver, Edge, Boise State

Austin Bronstad: Weaver was productive for Boise State, posting at least 9.5 sacks every year. However, his lack of size and athleticism caused him to fall in the draft.

165. Jacksonville (from L.A. Rams)

Colin Johnson, WR, Texas

Kris Thomas: Johnson is a big-body WR who can make it on the roster for catching jump balls in the red zone. However, his lack of speed will make getting separation on the next level hard.

166. Detroit (from Philadelphia)

Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin 

Richie Dordas: With their first fifth round pick, Detroit went skill position with wide receiver Quintez Cephus out of Wisconsin. Cephus is a liability with dropped passes, but is physically gifted and is very raw. This pick is from the Darius Slay trade, who is now a Philadelphia Eagle.

167. Buffalo

Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia

Richie Dordas: One of the more-known players this late in the draft is Jake Fromm, a quarterback out of Georgia. Fromm was the starting quarterback on a very good Georgia team over the past three seasons, and has the physical makeup of a quarterback. Unfortunately, Fromm doesn’t have the arm talent yet to be a starter, but may grow into it in the future. For now, he will be a solid backup to Josh Allen in Buffalo.

168. Philadelphia (from New England)

John Hightower, WR, Boise State

Micah Jimoh: With the selection of Hightower, the Eagles doubled down on speedy receivers. The JUCO product racked up 943 yards on a whopping 18.5 yards per reception this last season for the Broncos. Hightower’s lack of strength is going to hurt him when facing NFL cornerbacks, but his ability to hit home runs is among the best in the draft. With a 4.43 40-time to his name, the Eagles are surrounding Carson Wentz with burners.

169. Minnesota (from New Orleans)

Harrison Hand, DB, Baylor

Austin Bronstad: Hand is not very fast, but he’s very tough and loves physicality. He can play inside or outside, but will not be an immediate contributor.

170. Baltimore (from Minnesota)

Broderick Washington Jr., DT, Texas Tech

Darren Braxton: Another good developmental prospect for the Ravens to groom down the line, Washington is a two-time captain and three-year starter. He has good balance, and can stack blockers one-on-one in the running game. He’s not massive enough to be a two-gap space eater, but does show flashes of being a power rusher from the interior. He also showed a knack in disrupting the passing lanes with his hands. 

171. Houston

Isaiah Coulter, WR, Rhode Island

Sam Kirk: Coulter has all the makeup to be a professional wideout. His speed, balance and playmaking ability are unquestionable. But the lack of competition that allowed him to thrive on that athleticism in college may be his downfall. Coulter needs to develop more technical skills to become more than a depth player and potential special teamer in Houston.

172. Detroit 

Jason Huntley, RB, New Mexico State

Richie Dordas: Detroit traded back into the fifth round to take running back Jason Huntley. Huntley, a New Mexico State product. He is a smaller running back who will most likely make his money as a kick returner in the NFL or as a change-of-pace player when D’Andre Swift or Kerryon Johnson aren’t handling the rock.

173. Chicago (from Miami through Baltimore through L.A. Rams and Philadelphia)

Darnell Mooney, WR, Tulane

Darren Braxton: Mooney is a prototype slot receiver with deep threat ability. He has amazing top-end speed, and good initial quickness to get off the line. Unfortunately, he needs to work on his inconsistent hands. Likewise with his frame, he doesn’t have the ability to battle as much for 50/50 balls and is susceptible to injury with a 5’10”, 176 lbs size.  

174. Tennessee

Larrell Murchison, DT, NC State

Micah Jimoh: After trading Jurrell Casey to the Broncos, Tennessee needed to restock at the position. They did just that with the selection of NC State DL Larrell Murchinson. Murchinson is a high-motor player who can move around the defensive line. He had seven sacks in 2019.

175. Green Bay

Kamal Martin, LB, Minnesota

Kris Thomas: The Packers biggest issue last year was not being able to stop the run. Martin doesn’t diagnose run blockers or scheme well enough to be on the field much at the next level. He does have enough straight-line speed to contribute as a special teamer, though. 

176. Minneasota

KJ Osborn, WR, Miami

Austin Bronstad: Osborn has special teams ability and a good catch radius. He has only average speed, though. 

177. Kansas City

Mike Danna, DE, Michigan

Darren Braxton: Danna is an undersized edge defender that needs some work. He only had three sacks in 2019 after transferring from Central Michigan. He was a rotational defender, and needs to work on improving strength in the run and pass game, as well as improving his hand-to-hand combat skills rushing the passer. But he does have great effort, and he has shown the ability to slip blocks and get good pressure coming off the edge with his initial first step. 

178. Denver*

Justin Strnad, LB, Wake Forest

LeMarkus Bailey: Strnad was a productive 4-year player for Wake Forest. He is extremely long and lanky, with good athleticism. He will be a solid special-team player for the Broncos early. 

179. Dallas*

Bradley Anae, DE, Utah

Richie Dordas: The last pick of the fifth round goes to the Dallas Cowboys, and they picked up defensive end Bradley Anae out of Utah. Anae is more instincts than pure athleticism, but is still a very serviceable pass rusher. With Dallas in a 4-3, Anae may not see much playing time, but he could get into the rotation with a good camp.

Round 6

180. Cincinnati

Hakeem Adeniji, G, Kansas

Austin Bronstad: Adeniji has had plenty of experience playing at Kansas, but has his share of issues to work on before he will be able to contribute to an NFL team.

181. Denver (from Washington)

 Netane Muti, G, Fresno State

LeMarkus Bailey: The Broncos needed this pick, and at this value, it will be great for Drew Lock. Netane is a reliable option for the Broncos line, and protecting Lock will be priority number one. 

182. New England

Mike Onwenu, G, Michigan

Austin Bronstad: Onwenu has to work on becoming faster to be able to last at the next level. Those were his same doubts in college, but if he can continue to get faster, at his size he can make an NFL roster and contribute.

183. N.Y. Giants

Cam Brown, LB, Penn State

Sam Kirk: Coach Sean Spence, a former Penn State and Eagles coach, is now working in East Rutherford, and seems to be making an impact. Brown showed glimpses of elite play while at Penn State, where he provided a unique pass rush ability in the middle at linebacker. This seems like a steal for Dave Gettleman at 183.

184. Carolina

Bravvion Roy, DT, Baylor

Kris Thomas: A homer pick for new HC Matt Rhule, but a good value pick here. 1st team All Big 12, tallying 5.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss and good pre-snap burst will make a fine addition to Carolina’s rebuilding defense. 

185. Miami

Blake Ferguson, LS, LSU

Austin Bronstad: Ferguson is a solid long-snapper. He could make the roster and play for the Dolphins right away.

186. L.A Chargers

Alohi Gilman, S, Notre Dame

LeMarkus Bailey: Although not a standout player while at Notre Dame, Gilman was a reliable team captain that anchored a solid Notre Dame defense. His leadership will guide him toward making a talent-heavy team. 

187. Cleveland (from Arizona)

Donovan Peoples-Jones WR, Michigan

Richie Dordas: Donovan People’s Jones is a good all-purpose receiver, and will most likely serve value on special teams, but his lack of speed will hurt his playing time. The Michigan product will most likely be a backup receiver, and will be used as a run-blocker at most. 

188. Buffalo (from Cleveland)

Tyler Bass K, Georgia Southern

Richie Dordas: Buffalo used one of their late round picks on kicker Tyler Bass out of Georgia Southern. Buffalo has Stephen Hauschka on their roster already, but kickers come and go, so Bass may get a shot, whether it is with the Bills or somewhere else in the NFL.

189. Jacksonville

Jake Luton, QB, Oregon State

Kris Thomas: A good development QB, Luton takes care of the football, only throwing 7 interceptions in the last two years. He also completed over 50% on all his deep ball throws, and is more comfortable in a pro-style attack. However, with the league needle moving in favor of more mobile QBs, Luton doesn't have the athleticism to throw off the run, or have the poise to deal with pressure. He’ll have a lot of time to play in preseason, but that’s about it.

190. San Francisco (from Atlanta through Philadelphia)

Charlie Woerner, TE, Georgia

Kris Thomas: Woerner is more of a blocking tight end, and could be converted to fullback in the NFL. However, for Kyle Shannahan’s offense, which maximizes fullbacks and heavy blocking schemes, it’s an ideal fit.

191. N.Y. Jets

Braden Mann, P, Texas A&M

Sam Kirk: The first punter to come off the board is headed to the Jets. Mann was successful at A&M, and will look to hopefully win the job in New York to punt in week 1. 

192. Green Bay (from Las Vegas)

Jon Runyan, OL, Michigan 

Kris Thomas: The son of the former Pro-Bowl RT, Runyan has all the mental aspects and technique to keep a roster spot. He lacks a lot in the physical department which could make him a backup linemen down the road. 

193. Indianapolis

Rob Windsor, DT, Penn State

Micah Jimoh: The Colts turned their attention to the defensive line with the selection of PSU’s Rob Windsor. An undersized lineman, Windsor faces an uphill battle to make the Colts roster. He totaled 10 sacks in his last two seasons at Penn State, but his lighter frame could prove to be an issue in the NFL. 

194. Tampa Bay

Khalil Davis, DT, Nebraska

LeMarkus Bailey: At 315 lbs, Davis was able to record a sub-5 second-40 yard dash, which displays his excellent athleticism for a defensive lineman. However, with a ton of weight lying on his camp performance, it will remain a mystery how well he will benefit the Buccaneers. 

195. New England (from Denver)

Justin Herron, OL, Wake Forest

Austin Bronstad: Herron has some ability, but missed the entire 2018 season due to a torn ACL, and he needs to improve on his overall technique. 

196. Philadelphia (from Chicago)

Shaun Bradley, LB, Temple

Micah Jimoh: The Eagles went local, taking Temple’s Shaun Bradley with their first of three sixth-rounders. An undersized but fast linebacker, Bradley fits the same mold as earlier draft pick Davion Taylor and free-agent signee Jatavis Brown. Bradley finished his 2019 campaign with 86 tackes and 8 TFL. He will compete for a spot in an underwhelming linebacker room.

197. Detroit (from Indianapolis through Dallas)

John Penisini, DT, Utah

Richie Dordas: The Detroit Lions went to the defensive line with their sixth round pick, selecting John Penisini out of Utah. Because of his ability to stuff the gaps and control the line of scrimmage, along with Detroit’s inability to do that last year, Penisini may be a starter from day one, or at least be a rotational piece.

198. Pittsburgh

Antoine Brooks Jr., S, Maryland

Kris Thomas: Brooks Jr. excels in run support, and gets off blocks as well as anyone in the front seven. However, he is a serious liability in deep coverage, and doesn’t have the speed to compensate for it..  

199. L.A. Rams

Jordan Fuller, S, Ohio State

Austin Bronstad: Fuller is a very versatile player. He should step in and make an impact on special teams, and can be a solid rotational/backup safety.

200. Philadelphia (from Philadelphia through Chicago)

Quez Watkins, WR, Southern Miss

Micah Jimoh: After last year’s slow, plodding offense gave out in the postseason, the Eagles have loaded up on speed so far this draft. Watkins, a 1,000 yard receiver for Southern Miss, ran a blazing 4.35 40-yard dash. Philadelphia may very well have the league’s fastest receiving core.

201. Baltimore (from Buffalo through Minnesota)

James Proche, WR, SMU

Darren Braxton: Proche is another good slot guy for Lamar Jackson to use in the future. Proche shows good route-running savvy, and is a natural hands catcher who can make contested catches. He might not have the size, length and speed ideal for the boundary, but his quickness and other intangibles makes him great for the team. Being a four-year starter and team captain means he knows the game and has a good football IQ. Proche will develop into a great number-three or -four receiver that can be used over the middle or in multiple receiver sets.  

202. Arizona (from New England)

Evan Weaver, ILB, Cal

Darren Braxton: Weaver is a solid tackler and a guy that does good when sifting through traffic in between the tackles. He isn’t the sideline-to-sideline type of athlete, but shows great effort in chasing down a play. He does, however, look to be a core special teams player in the future.

203. Minnesota (from Saints)

Blake Brandel, OL, Oregon State

Austin Bronstad: Brandel started all 48 games of his career. Maybe he turns into a solid backup for the Vikings.

204. New England (from Houston)

Cashh Maluia, LB, Wyoming

Austin Bronstad: Maluia is a bit undersized, but posted 197 tackles in his 4 years at Wyoming. He’ll be a solid special teams contributor right off the bat.

205. Minnesota

Josh Metellus, S, Michigan

Austin Bronstad: The All Big-Ten honorable mention safety started three years at Michigan. Hopefully he finds a way to make the roster and find his role.

206. Jacksonville (from Seattle)

Tyler Davis, TE, Georgia Tech

Kris: At Georgia Tech, Davis was regulated more to run- and pass blocking. The Jaguars are hoping to unlock the potential they scouted when Davis was more a pass-catcher at Uconn.  

207. Buffalo (from Baltimore through New England)

Isaiah Hodgins WR, Oregon State

Richie Dordas: Hodgins is a very good value pick by the Buffalo Bills, and may be able to crack the roster if he performs. Hodgins has good NFL size and very good instincts, it is just a matter of if it is going to translate to the next level for him.

208. Green Bay (from Tennessee)

Jake Hanson, C, Oregon

Kris Thomas: He took over the starting center position in his redshirt freshmen year and never lost the job. He never allowed a sack in his first 3 years at Oregon, which was over 2700 snaps. He’s an interesting project player to keep tabs on going forward.

209. Green Bay

Simon Stepaniak, OT, Indiana

Kris Thomas: At 6’4 313 pounds, he has the frame and the strength to play at the next level. But with a torn ACL he suffered in December, he could end up missing his rookie season. The torn ACL also doesn’t help the fact that he was never really mobile at the position to begin with.  

210. Philadelphia (from San Francisco)

Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn

Micah Jimoh: Wanogho fell far thanks to injury concerns, allowing the Eagles to get what may very well be one of the biggest steals of the draft. Wanogho has impressive athleticism for someone his size, a trait the Eagles love in their linemen. With some more development, he could develop into an extremely high-end backup.

211. Indianapolis (from Kansas City through New York Jets)

Isaiah Rodgers, CB, UMass

Micah Jimoh: With the first of three consecutive selections, the Colts took CB Isaiah Rodgers out of UMass. Indianapolis acquired this pick by trading away a cornerback, and they decided to replenish at the position. Standing just 5’10, 170 lbs, Rodgers made his mark as a returner, recording 1,295 kickoff return yards in 2019. He added four interceptions on defense.

212. Indianapolis (from New England)*

Dezmon Patmon, WR, Washington State

Micah Jimoh: After using their first pick on USC’s Michael Pittman, the Colts went after another big receiver in Dezmon Patmon. The 6’3, 225 lb. Patmon recorded 1,578 yards over his last two seasons with the Cougars. If he can learn to really use his exceptional size to his advantage, this could be a sneaky good pick for Indy.

213. Indianapolis (from New England)*

Jordan Glasgow, LB, Michigan

Micah Jimoh: Glasgow recorded PFF’s number-one tackling grade in 2019, but his severe lack of size hindered his draft stock. At only 6’1, 226 lbs, he faces an uphill battle to make a roster. His contributions on special teams could boost his chances greatly. Glasgow has two brothers in the NFL, Graham and Ryan.

214. Seattle*

Freddie Swain, WR, Florida

Darren Braxton: Another developmental guy with good upside, at 6 foot and 197 lbs Swain is a bit lean, and can gain some more muscle mass. He does, however, show great top end speed, and good initial quickness. He isn’t complete or polished in his route running, but has room to grow. He offers immediate return ability in the punting game and can push for a starting role as he grows. If he develops, he will be a good slot receiver for the team. 

Round 7

215. Cincinnati

Markus Bailey, LB, Purdue

Austin Bronstad: Bailey had a knee injury that ended his 2019 season. He could compete for a roster spot on a Bengals roster with lots of holes.

216. Washington

Kamren Curl, S, Arkansas

Micah Jimoh: The Redskins are loading up on versatile defensive players. At Arkansas, Curl showed the ability to play both cornerback and safety. His speed is a cause for concern, as evidenced by his 4.6 40 time. Curl recorded two interceptions and two forced fumbles during his senior season.

217. San Francisco (from Detroit)

Jauan Jennings, WR, Tenneessee 

Kris Thomas: At the end of Jennings tenure with Tennessee he ranked in top 5 in nearly all of the school’s stats for WRs. However, a 4.7 40 and a 29-inch vertical, even for a 6’3 WR, isn’t good. He’ll get reps in preseason, but that’s about it. 

218. N.Y. Giants

Carter Coughlin, DE, Minnesota 

Sam Kirk: Coughlin was a surprise to make it to round 7 by some. The Giants haven’t addressed their problem at the pass rusher spot much in this draft, and they remain hopeful that Coughlin and Brown can do enough to complement the many run-stoppers they have on their team.

219. Baltimore (from Minnesota through Miami)

Geno Stone, S, Iowa

Darren Braxton: Stone is a great special teams core player. He has good size, but also has short arms and average straight-line speed. He is a naturally instinctive player, and shows good play recognition. He is at his best in two-high zoe coverage or in the box for run support. He isn’t the best in man coverage, and doesn’t have the range to be a single high safety. Yet, he can be a good run defender and gives great effort chasing plays down.   

220. L.A. Chargers

K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio State

LeMarkus Bailey: It may be surprising to some fans that K.J. fell this late, but his single year as a starter was not enough to convince scouts he was worth a higher pick. Nonetheless, his tape speaks for himself. He will be a good, reliable slot option for Justin Herbert.

221. Carolina

Stanley Thomas-Oliver III, CB, Florida International University

LeMarkus Bailey: Thomas Oliver is a decent athlete. His instincts are good, but he lacks eye discipline and physicality on the point of attack. Against Miami in 2018, Oliver struggled to disengage from blocks against bigger receivers. Look to see if he can transition his game to the NFL. 

222. Arizona

Eno Benjamin, RB, Arizona State

Darren Braxton: Benjamin is a player that didn’t test well, but his game tape speaks volumes. He has shown the ability to switch gears with ease, and runs hard. He has good contact balance and doesn’t go down easily, so he normally gets extra yards after contact. He has some issues with drops, but has shown a good receiving-threat ability out the backfield. If he can put it all together and show his game tape isn’t a lie, the Cardinals have a good second back for their rotation. 

223. Jacksonville

Chris Claybrooks, DB, Memphis 

Kris Thomas: With his 4.3 speed, Claybrooks will make an impact on special teams right away. However, with him converting from WR to CB after junior college he’s still very raw at the position, and his foot injury also hindered him from getting any consistent reps there. However, with his speed he’ll get a fair look to compete.

224. Tennessee (from Cleveland)

Cole McDonald, QB, Hawaii

Micah Jimoh: A very productive passer in college, Cole McDonald fits an area of need for Tennessee in the seventh round. Obviously he won’t be competing for a starting gig, but he could develop into a high-end backup for a team that desperately needs one. McDonald broke the 4,000 yard mark and threw 33 touchdowns last year for Hawaii.

225. Minneasota

Kenny Willekes, DE, Michigan State

Austin Bronstad: Kenny can move extremely well at his size, running a 4.87 40. He will most likely contribute on special teams and get a little bit of rotational play time.

226. Chicago (from Las Vegas)

Arlington Hambright, OT, Colorado

Darren Braxton: A tackle prospect, Hambright actually projects best at guard. He is good in the running game, getting a great initial push off the line. In the passing game, he sets quickly and has a strong punch in pass protection. He can develop well in the next year or two.  

227. Chicago (from Indianapolis through Miami and Philadelphia)

Lachavious Simmons, OG, Tennessee State

Darren Braxton: Simmons creates back-to-back developmental lineman picks. However, the Tennessee State guard is more versatile, as he played every position but center on the line. He is average in the running game and pass protection, but showed great upside as a swing tackle or guard. 

228. Atlanta (from Tampa Bay through Philadelphia)

Sterling Hofrichter, P, Syracuse 

LeMarkus Bailey: Hofrichter was responsible for much of the defensive success that Syracuse. His ability to pin opponents helped flip fields and games. This was a good late pick for Atllanta. 

229. Washington (from Denver)

James Smith-Williams, EDGE, NC State

Micah Jimoh: Smith-Williams played only 29 games in five years at NC State. Because of constant injuries, he’s never been able to post gaudy numbers. The athletic Smith-Williams was the fastest defensive lineman at the combine.

230. New England (from Atlanta)

Dustin Woodard, C, Memphis

Austin Bronstad: Woodard was a 2018 All-AAC first-team offensive lineman. Maybe he finds his way on the roster.

231. Dallas

Ben Dinucci QB, James Madison

Richie Dordas: While he is not going to start, Ben Dinucci will be in the conversation for Dak Prescott’s backup. Dinucci enjoyed a nice college career, winning CAA Offensive Player of the Year at James Madison. Dinucci is a dual threat quarterback, but will need to improve drastically to find a starting job at the quarterback position in the NFL.

232. Pittsburgh

Carlos Davis, DT, Nebraska 

Kris Thomas: Davis has the build to play in the NFL, but he lacks the initial motor and arm length to be anything more than a rotational player or preseason body.

233. Philadelphia (from Chicago)

Casey Toohill, DE, Stanford

Micah Jimoh: With their final selection, the Eagles selected Stanford edge rusher Casey Toohill. It’s not a pick that garners much excitement (as is usual for seventh rounders), but there was no way the Eagles were finishing the draft without selecting a defensive lineman.

234. L.A. Rams

Clay Johnston, LB, Baylor

Austin Bronstad: A 5 year student at Baylor, Johnston played in the middle of the Bears defense. A knee injury, however, ended his senior season short. He will be fighting for a roster spot.

235. Detroit (from New England through Philadelphia)

Jashon Cornell, DT Ohio State

Richie Dordas: For the second straight round, the Detroit Lions went on the defensive line. Jashon Cornell, a defensive tackle out of Ohio State, is viewed in many people’s eyes as a bubble guy who could have gone undrafted. Cornell has good lateral quickness, but lacks size to be an interior defensive linemen. Cornell will have to prove he is strong enough at his size to make the team in 2020.

236. Green Bay (from Buffalo through Cleveland)

Vernon Scott, S, TCU

Kris Thomas: The Packers’ safety depth grows with Vernon Scott coming to  the fold. With Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage starting at safety, Scott could earn his way to the roster with his special teams play which, besides getting a pick-6 against Jalen Hurts last season, was the highlight of his time playing in TCU. 

237. Kansas City (from New England through Denver and Tennessee)

Thakarius Keyes, CB, Tulane

Darren Braxton: This pick is to help reinforce a defense that is still trying to grow from last season. Keyes has great size and length for the position, and can match up with the bigger, more physical receiver on the boundary. He needs more work on his technique, but can develop into a good press cover corner. He also has shown a knack for being able to contribute in run support. 

238. N.Y. Giants (from New Orleans)

TJ Brunson, LB, South Carolina

Sam Kirk: Brunson was a two-time captain at South Carolina, and seemed to make a name for himself there. Racking up 238 tackles in his 4 year career, Brunson should earn some effort minutes on special teams and could compete for a job at linebacker with injuries or depth help

239. Buffalo (from Minnesota)

Dane Jackson CB, Pittsburgh

Richie Dordas: With many people projecting Jackson to go in the fifth round, Dane Jackson is a very nice value pick by Buffalo. The overall ability and instincts to be a professional corner are there, but the Bills have a loaded secondary already. It may take a few seasons for Jackson to get his shot, but it is more about the talent the Bills already have rather than a knock on his own talent.

240. New Orleans (from Houston)

Tommy Stevens QB, Mississippi State

Richie Dordas: With their last pick, the New Orleans Saints decide to take a quarterback who has a chance at something more. Tommy Stevens has drawn a lot of Taysom Hill comparisons, though Hill has better quarterback skills. Many feel Stevens will make it in the NFL with a similar role to Hill, so maybe the Saints now have two dual-threat quarterbacks.

241. Tampa Bay (from New England via Seattle)

Chapelle Russell, LB, Temple

LeMarkus Bailey: Russell is a thin linebacker, but what he lacks in size, he makes up for with physicality. Gaining weight will be essential for Russell to maintain a role. 

242. Green Bay from Baltimore

Johnathan Garvin, DE, Miami

Kris Thomas: With a solid senior campaign racking up 5.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss, Garvin joined a loaded linebacker room. However, with the Smith brothers and 2nd-year linebacker Rashan Gary in front of him, he’ll have to showcase a lot to get on the field this season. With Garvin being projected to be a 4th-round pick and taken in the 7th, the Packers got a steal.

243. Tennessee

Chris Jackson, S, Marshall

Micah Jimoh: A pass-breakup machine at Marshall, Chris Jackson won’t find it easy to carve out a spot on Tennessee's roster. His ability to play special teams will be a plus in his transition to the NFL.

244. Minneasota

Nate Stanley, QB, Iowa

Austin Bronstad: Stanley is a big QB who should be a decent career backup in the NFL.

245. San Francisco

Raymond Calais, RB, Louisiana-Lafayette

LeMarkus Bailey: A former track star and standout running back, Calais’ diminutive size made him fall to become one of the best values this late in the draft. Look for him to be a long-lasting special teams guy. 

246. Miami (from Kansas City)

Malcolm Perry, WR, Navy

Austin Bronstad: Perry is undersized, but is going to give everything he has to make a team. I would not be surprised to see him make the team, or be picked up to join another squad.

247. N.Y. Giants*

Chris Williamson, CB, Minnesota

Sam Kirk: The Giants grab their second Minnesota alumni, selecting Williamson, who had a solid year in a secondary with Antoine Winfield. The Giants like his ability to play both safety and corner, and Coach Joe Judge has expressed his importance of versatility since day 1.

248. Rams*

Sam Sloman, K, Miami (OH)

Austin Bronstad: Sloman finished his career 26/30 on field goals at Miami OH. 

249. Minnesota*

Brian Cole II, S, Mississippi State

Austin Bronstad: Cole II is an athletic guy who ran a 4.52 40. He could get a job in Special teams. 

250. Rams*

Tremayne Anchrum, OL, Clemson

Austin Bronstad: Anchrum is a smaller guy that has pretty good technique and quickness. He might be able to make the roster.

251. Seattle (from Miami)*

Stephen Sullivan, TE, LSU

Darren Braxton: Sullivan comes in checking off all the measurables for the positon. He had the longest arms, and tied for the 2nd fastest 40 time at the combine for his position. His production and game tape never matched playing at LSU, but he has good upside. He is a marginal blocker, and shouldn’t be looked at as an effective in-line blocker at the next level. 

252. Denver*

Tyrie Cleveland, WR, Florida

LeMarkus Bailey: Cleveland is not very big, but he is twitchy and quick, and he showed some good flash catching the ball at its highest point at the 2020 Senior Bowl. Look to see him used on return duty early in his career if he plans to make a team. 

253. Minnesota*

Kyle Hinton, OL, Washburn

Austin Bronstad: Extremely quick interior offensive lineman out of Washburn. Ran a sub 5 40 at around 300 pounds. 

254. Denver*

Derrek Tuszka, LB, North Dakota State 

LeMarkus Bailey: Tuszka is a winner, coming from NDSU. Although it was college, Tuszka has the chance to make an NFL roster if he proves his consistency in college is transferable. 

255. N.Y. Giants*

Tae Crowder, LB, Georgia

Sam Kirk: Crowder, once a running back, has made huge strides at Georgia. His story is remarkable, and seems fit for the draft slot he was taking in. Mr Irrelevant will soon try to make a name for himself on Joe Judge’s special teams.
