1.       Chase Young DE Ohio State
Comments: Young is the premier talent in this draft, capable of disrupting the offense in every way you need from a defensive end. The former-Buckeye flat out took over games as a junior with a skillset that reminds me of a slightly-smaller version of Mario Williams.
2.       Joe Burrow QB LSU
Comments: The LSU signal-caller ran away with the Heisman Trophy in his senior year, displaying the size, strength and mobility that are all preferred at the NFL level. Burrow’s accuracy was incredible in his final season, and he displays a strong mind for the game that will make an offensive coordinator’s job far less stressful.
3.       Jeffrey Okudah CB Ohio State
Comments: A potential shutdown corner that has ideal size and athleticism to matchup with anyone across from him. Okudah not only shows a top-notch level of short-area quickness and awareness, but also the ability to thrive in zone or man coverage.
4.       Isaiah Simmons OLB Clemson
Comments: Simmons possesses the most versatile skillset of anyone I’ve scouted this season. The former-safety still displays many of the necessary traits to excel in coverage, and at 6’4”, 230 pounds, his transition to linebacker was an ideal move to maximize his draft stock in the long run.
5.       Derrick Brown DT Auburn
Comments: Brown is not just a top prospect in this class, but also an ideal candidate to represent a franchise off the field. As a player, the former-Tiger is a powerful interior presence that shows remarkable burst and balance for a player his size.
6.       Tua Tagovailoa QB Alabama
Comments: Tagovailoa was on the fast track to become the top-overall pick this April, but a pair of serious injuries in the fall, as well as the success of his SEC counterpart have seen that possibility all but disappear. Still, the Alabama signal-caller is the top passer in this class when healthy, highlighted by impressive deep-ball accuracy and timing.
7.       Jedrick Wills OT Alabama
Comments: Wills made incredible strides to as a junior with his balance and footwork, and his power shined through as a result. The former-Alabama lineman is a textbook right tackle, and thanks to his refined approach, he could be viewed as a future left tackle by his future employer.
8.       Jerry Jeudy WR Alabama
Comments: Jeudy displays the kind of rare initial burst that can alter the way defensive backs align themselves pre-snap. With modern-NFL offenses utilizing the full field more than ever, his big-play potential from every level should make him a hot commodity on draft night.
9.       CeeDee Lamb WR Oklahoma
Comments: As the most well-round receiver at the top of the class, Lamb can win with his pure speed, separation or 50-50 ball skills. While I have Jeudy ranked just ahead of him, there will be a lot of teams who prefer the former-Sooners’ skillset this April.
10.     Andrew Thomas OT Georgia
Comments: While the former-Bulldog can still use some refinement with his technique, his combination of size, power, and athleticism is an ideal fit at left tackle. His skillset not only dominated his competition at the collegiate level, but he also demonstrated much better pad level than most prospects his size.
11.     Javon Kinlaw DT South Carolina
Comments: Kinlaw displays the versatility to play a variety of roles on the interior, regardless of the scheme. With incredible size at 6’5”, 315 pounds, the former-Gamecock has some similarities to Kansas City’s Chris Jones and like Jones, he shows an impressive first step of the snap followed with imposing power.
12.     Tristian Wirfs OT Iowa
Comments: Wirfs has always been powerful but as a junior, his pad-level, balance and technique improved immensely, and he even saw time at left tackle. Still, his best spot is on the right, and he could even kick inside to guard if a team had the need.
13.     Henry Ruggs WR Alabama
Comments: Ruggs will be one of the fastest players in this year’s class, and has been clocked north of 24 miles an hour in a game. I could see him having a similar impact on offense as Houston’s Will Fuller, with the exception of Ruggs having much better ball skills.
14.     Justin Herbert QB Oregon
Comments: The Oregon-product is a perfect example of the new-age quarterback with his size, big arm and mobility. Questions about Herbert’s leadership and willingness to take chances down the field will dominate the narrative of his interviews, but those who have played with him standby the respect he commands from his teammates.
15.     Mekhi Becton OT Louisville
Comments: Becton is a massive player with good enough footwork to make it difficult for anyone to capture the edge against. There are times where he plays too high, and he doesn’t exactly lock on to defenders as much as he bullies them around. Best position could be at right tackle, but I won’t be surprised if teams bring him in to man the blindside.
16.     K’Lavon Chaisson OLB LSU
Comments: Injuries and unfulfilled potential were the story line for Chaisson during most of his career, and while he wasn’t exactly consistent as a junior, he looked impressive in the big games. Teams are going to investigate every angle of the inconsistent play, but when he is on his game, Chaisson is the second-best pass rusher in this class behind Chase Young.
17.     C.J. Henderson CB Florida
Comments: Henderson has exceptional cover skills thanks to his tremendous feet, but I have concerns with his physicality in coverage and against the run. I’m not sure if he’ll ever be a top-notch tackler, but if he adds some strength to keep from being at a disadvantage against big receivers, he could be a lock-down player in the NFL.
18.     D’Andre Swift RB Georgia
Comments: Swift displays short-area quickness and explosion that make him a nightmare in the open field, whether he is running the ball or catching it. No running back in this class combines his big-play ability with the skills to be an every-down back.
19.     Grant Delpit S LSU
Comments: As a junior, Delpit slimmed down and spent more of his time away from the line of scrimmage, and not only were there growing pains, but the change further exposed some tackling flaws. Still, he’s an exceptional athlete for the position with incredible range, and with better technique as a tackler, he’s a game-changer on the back end.
20.     Justin Jefferson WR LSU
Comments: As the league continues to exploit mismatches caused by the variety of offensive skillsets that breed success in the passing game, we are starting to see players like the LSU-product gain value based on their ability to lineup at a number of spots in the formation. Jefferson is adept in that area as he can not only separate with his exceptional athleticism, but also run away from defenders with his speed.
21.     Jordan Love QB Utah State
Comments: A strong athlete with a cannon for an arm, Love will be an intriguing project for a team that is willing to patient with him. A disturbing differential in his sophomore and junior campaigns, as well as some discipline issues away from the field will be a topic of conversation for those interested in his services, but the former-Aggie has the kind of physical gifts that offensive coordinators can’t resist in a passer.
22.     A.J. Epenesa DE Iowa
Comments: Epenesa has a unique blend of size and power for a defensive end, and will likely fit best as an interior player in an odd-man or hybrid front. Still, his ability to combine his length, athleticism and strength make him exceptionally difficult to block regardless of where he is lined up.
23.     Kenneth Murray LB Oklahoma
Comments: I’m a bigger fan of Murray as an athlete than I am as a linebacker at this point, thanks to instincts that aren’t quite where they need to be entering the NFL. However, when Murray does diagnose quickly, he looks special giving me hope that his best football may still be ahead of him. He is also one of the best leaders in this class.
24.     Xavier McKinney S Alabama
Comments: McKinney’s excellent size and arm length make him an outstanding tackler at the position, but I think he will be limited to mostly zone coverage in the NFL. Still, if teams are looking for a box safety, I think he’d be coveted ahead of Grant Delpit, and his ideal fit would be in 4-2-5 that utilizes three safeties at once.
25.     Josh Jones OT Houston
Comments: Jones is an exceptional athlete for the position, and while his arm length isn’t ideal, he’s got excellent size to remain at tackle. The Senior-Bowl standout needs to add strength and refine his handwork moving forward, but long-term, he could be the top left tackle out of this class.
26.     Tee Higgins WR Clemson
Comments: There are a lot of similarities between Higgins and former-Tiger, Mike Williams, but I believe Higgins separates better in his routes coming out of college. Of any receiver that could hear his name called on day one, Higgins will have the biggest catch-radius of the bunch.
27.     Trevon Diggs DB Alabama
Comments: Diggs’ NFL position will likely depend on the defensive scheme and staff that draft him. While his length and make-up speed offer a terrific fit at corner in some schemes, his physical nature, range and ball skills may be more conducive at safety in others. Either way, he’s an impressive athlete that can bring a lot to a secondary.
28.     Patrick Queen LB LSU
Comments: There are quite a few similarities between Kenneth Murray and Queen in that the physical traits and intensity are impressive, but the instincts are less than desirable. The former-Bayou Bengal comes in a smaller, more compact package, and is an ideal fit as a weakside player due to his range and limitations taking on and getting off blocks.
29.     Cesar Ruiz G/C Michigan
Comments: While Ruiz can get more consistent with his balance and core strength, he shows impressive mobility for being 320 pounds. While I’ve got three centers in this range, Ruiz would be my first choice in this class whether I needed a guard or center, and that could make him a commodity near the end of day one.
30.     Terrell Lewis OLB Alabama
Comments: Medical checks will be the determining factor in Lewis’ draft stock, as he’s had a concerning injury history while in Tuscaloosa. Still, his ability to accelerate with his size and length is freakish, making him a dynamite pass rusher off the edge.
31.     J.K. Dobbins RB Ohio State
Comments: Dobbins has similar versatility to D’Andre Swift, but may have slightly more power with slightly less big-play ability. Still, I think he can be a three-down player in the NFL, and that is a valuable commodity no matter the offensive philosophy.
32.     Laviska Shenault WR Colorado
Comments: One of the most versatile offensive weapons in this class, Shenault has a skillset similar to that of Cordarrelle Patterson, while being more polished as a receiver. The more creative an offensive coordinator is, the more they are going to covet the former-Colorado standout who could also be a stud in the return game.
33.     Jonathan Taylor RB Wisconsin
Comments: The Wisconsin product is a more traditional running back that plays with power, vision and deceiving straight-line speed. I’m not sure he’ll offer much in the passing game thanks to limited lateral-agility, but for teams looking for a between-the-tackles runner, there may be no better option in this class.
34.     Lloyd Cushenberry C LSU
Comments: The former-LSU center won’t be for everyone as he wins with his athleticism and hand placement as opposed to brute strength. Still, for teams that run a predominant zone-blocking scheme, Cushenberry could be the top center on their board, despite being recommended to return to school by the NFL Draft Advisory Board.
35.     Jeff Gladney CB TCU
Comments: One of the ultimate competitors in this class, Gladney often found himself matching up with the top receiver on the opposing team. While he’s likely to measure south of six feet, the TCU-standout gets in his opponent’s hip pocket quickly and shows very good ball skills.
36.     Jalen Reagor WR TCU
Comments: Lightning in a bottle is a good way to describe Reagor, and even at high speeds, he displays excellent body-control. The reason I don’t have him ranked higher is because his ball skills leave a lot to be desired, and his size will likely play role in limiting some of the routes he’s asked to run.
37.     Zack Baun OLB Wisconsin
Comments: Baun has a unique skillset with the tools of an edge-rusher and the awareness/instincts of a linebacker. While he’s played as an outside linebacker in Wisconsin’s 3-4 scheme, I think his ideal role could be one similar to Anthony Barr’s in Minnesota.
38.     Kristian Fulton CB LSU
Comments: Fulton is an aggressive player, that diagnoses routes and quickly explodes into action. There are sure to be questions involving the suspension for a fraudulent drug test, but if a team is satisfied with the answers they get, they’ll be getting a player that excels in man coverage.
39.     Austin Jackson OT USC
Comments: Jackson is a player that I feel could have benefited from another year at USC where he could focus on consistency. The biggest issue I have with the early-entry junior’s game is the poor balance he plays with thanks to sloppy footwork and a tendency to bend at the waste rather than the knees. Still, there is no denying that he has the kind of size and athleticism that teams covet on the blindside, and he will only be 20 when he is drafted.
40.     Ross Blacklock DT TCU
Comments: The first thing you notice about the former-Horn Frog is his motor never stops. There is a lot of room to develop with his pad-level and ability to shed blockers, but with the right coaching, I see a guy who could be a stud as either an end in a 3-4 or 3-tech in a 4-3.
41.     Yetur Gross-Matos DE Penn State
Comments: Gross-Matos displays outstanding size and arm-length to be a disruptive and balanced defensive end. While I’m not sure he’ll ever provide the first-step quickness or acceleration to be a dominant edge rusher, an improved array of pass-rush techniques can make him a guy that pushes to get to double-digit sacks each year.
42.     K.J. Hamler WR Penn State
Comments: Hamler is a versatile slot receiver with big-play ability that shows up at every level of the field. A similar player to Jalen Reagor with difference being Reagor is the more explosive player while Hamler has much better ball skills.
43.     Ezra Cleveland OT Boise State
Comments: Cleveland is a player that I think could go even higher than 43 based on the long-term upside. He’s a terrific athlete that played with much better balance and patience in pass-protection in 2019. The former-Bronco will never be an overpowering mauler, but his athleticism and length make him ideal for a heavy zone-blocking team.
44.     Neville Gallimore DT Oklahoma
Comments: Gallimore combines a strong desire to succeed with excellent athleticism for a defensive tackle. The former-Sooner is still rather raw on the technique side, which is a big reason we don’t see him finish more often given his physical traits.
45.     Denzel Mims WR Baylor
Comments: Mims has really grown on me as his tall, slender build, with long arms and outstanding torso flexibility remind of DeAndre Hopkins. Mims is not the exceptional athlete that Hopkins is, but he does catch everything within reach and compete at a high-level as a blocker.
46.     Netane Muti G Fresno State
Comments: One of the bigger risk/reward guys in this class, Muti has quite the injury history, while playing out of position and often overly aggressive. Still, this guy is an easy mover at 6’3”, 307 pounds, and with the proper coaching, and a more patient and balanced approach, he could be the best guard in this draft.
47.     Marlon Davidson DE/DT Auburn
Comments: I’m not sure whether Davidson should slim down to be an end or beef up to be tackle, but I do know he is an exceptional player that combines power and surprising athleticism at 295 pounds. His natural position could be as an end in and three-man front, but there’s not a scheme that can’t find a home for a disruptor like this.
48.     Curtis Weaver OLB Boise State
Comments: A lot to like about the Mountain West’s all-time leader in sacks, starting with the balance he plays with against both the run and pass. Weaver uses terrific strength, pad level and acceleration to be a constant disruption, and will likely fit as a strong-side linebacker in a 3-4 scheme.
49.     Bryce Hall CB Virginia
Comments: Getting to full-strength at some point during the pre-draft process could prove vital for Hall’s stock, as the corner suffered an ankle injury that required surgery back in October. Still, Hall’s combination of outstanding size and length will be intriguing considering it helped him lead the country with 21 passes defensed in 2018.
50.     A.J. Terrell CB Clemson
Comments: Terrell has everything teams are looking for in the modern-era corner with terrific athleticism, size and arm-length. I’d like to see him play a little more physical for his size, and show more confidence when breaking on a route, but with the right coaching, he can have an early impact in the NFL.
51.     Antoine Winfield S Minnesota
Comments: The son of former-Thorpe Award winner and three-time Pro Bowler Antoine Winfield Sr, the Minnesota safety had a breakout campaign after battling injuries during his second and third year on campus. The younger Winfield has exceptional ball skills, and finished fourth in the country with seven interceptions in 2019. However, his size and injury history will be worrisome for some teams.
52.     Michael Pittman WR USC
Comments: Pittman is a big receiver with enough ability to separate to get defensive backs on his back side where he can body them out for passes. The former-Trojan won’t wow us with his athletic testing, but with passing attacks consistently finding ways to exploit mismatches, Pittman is going to be a handful for smaller players.
53.     Leki Fotu DT Utah
Comments: At Utah, preparing for their star-studded defense began with scheming to block Fotu. The power that he plays with is so impressive, as he can dismantle an interior rushing attack if teams don’t get more than one set of hands on him. However, I’m not sure he’ll offer much against the pass other than collapsing the pocket.
54.     Bradlee Anae DE Utah
Comments: Anae is an extremely technical player with the tenacity that makes him a difficult guy to block. He may not have the length that teams covet in a pass-rusher, but the former-Ute is going to be tough to pass on for franchises looking to improve their ability to get pressure on the quarterback.
55.     Kyle Dugger S Lenoir-Rhyne
Comments: Dugger played like a man among boys at the Division-II level, showing the physical prowess that often left ball-carriers soaring through the air before crashing to the ground. While he did exceed expectations in Mobile with his ability in coverage, I still believe his best fit is closer to the line of scrimmage as a box safety where his less than impressive ability to change-direction will be less of a liability.
56.     Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB LSU
Comments: The LSU-runner had a breakout season where his low center of gravity accentuated his short-area quickness and power. Many scouts will dig into a situation where Edwards-Helaire was involved in a fatal shooting earlier in his career, as well as whether or not this recent success was a product of a much-improved offensive system or his own individual development.
57.     James Lynch DE/DT Baylor
Comments: An ideal five-technique, Lynch combines an explosive first step with a motor that never quits in a 295-pound package. Can play a little high at times, but does a good job of protecting his chest from opposing blockers. The former Big-12 Defensive Player of the Year can also rush the passer from the edge or the interior.
58.     Noah Igbinoghene CB Auburn
Comments: The former-receiver was given a second-round grade by the Draft Advisory Board, which prompted him to leave school earlier than most felt he should. While the size and speed that he displays will have some salivating at the untapped potential he possesses, I still think he is very raw as his undisciplined footwork leads to him getting grabby. He also tackles like a wide receiver at this point.
59.     Tyler Biadasz C Wisconsin
Comments: Biadasz has a lot of the typical Wisconsin traits when it comes to their offensive linemen. He is smart, powerful and technique savvy, which is a great foundation for any player in the trenches. Where he’ll need to improve is with his pad-level, as he frequently gets too high for my liking.
60.     Justin Madubuike DT Texas A&M
Comments: Played all over the front at Texas A&M, but fits best as a one-gap penetrator where his quickness and strength to finish can shine. Madubuike’s most impressive trait may be his balance, as he is often able to change direction at remarkable speeds for a big man.
61.     Brandon Aiyuk WR Arizona State
Comments: Aiyuk is a slippery athlete with outstanding body control that helps him haul in off-target throws, maximizing his catch-radius. With strong hands and top-notch ability to elevate, my biggest concern is Arizona State didn’t run the most-complex route tree in their offense.
62.     Jeremy Chinn S Southern Illinois
Comments: Chinn an impressive combination of size and athletic ability, but he has exactly had a ton of opportunities to prove himself against the top competition. Still, against a lower level of talent, he looked like a man among boys with 13 interceptions, six forced fumbles, and 31 passes defensed in his four-year career. I’d like to see him develop a better nose for the football, but his physical tools are going to be hard to pass up on day two.
63.     Jaylen Johnson CB Utah
Comments: A physical player in coverage with long arms, Johnson gets his hands on passes without getting too grabby during the process. I like his recovery speed more than his short-area quickness, making him a good fit for teams that use a lot of bump-and-run coverage.
64.     Damon Arnette CB Ohio State
Comments: Arnette combines size and length with excellent closing speed, making him one of this draft’s more capable players in zone-coverage. I also find it interesting that while Kendell Sheffield, Jeffrey Okudah and Shaun Wade rotated in and out in 2018, Arnette stayed on the field. That says a lot about how the staff felt about him.
65.     Cole Kmet TE Notre Dame
Comments: It’s crazy to think that my first tight end comes in at 65 but there are a variety of different skillsets in this class and depending on need, any of them could be the top player taken at the position. Kmet comes in a more traditional package with imposing size that aids him in the run and passing game. Still, it’s his short-area quickness that gets him separation out of his breaks that really impresses me for his size.
66.     Josh Uche OLB Michigan
Comments: Another former-Wolverine with a unique skillset that may take some creativity when considering his best fit in the NFL. I can’t help but see some similarities to the combination of abilities that Shaquem Griffin had coming out of Central Florida as dynamite edge rusher in an undersized linebacker’s body.
67.     Jonah Jackson G Ohio State
Comments: The Rutgers-transfer wins with power and technique as a run blocker, and shows a strong desire to finish. However, he is far less disciplined in pass protection where he plays too high, and is inconsistent locking on and anchoring down against defenders.
68.     Raekwon Davis DE/DL Alabama
Comments: Davis is a much more capable player against the run, where his elite size, arm length and power make him a difficult guy to block when he attacks the lineman. Unfortunately, we don’t see the same aggressive approach rushing the passer, and that will be the key to him unlocking the potential to be a star.
69.     Damien Lewis G LSU
Comments: Lewis has a stout, wide-chested build that makes him a tough player to go through or around when he gets in proper position. He may not be as much of an easy-mover as teammate Lloyd Cushenberry, but he does display very good balance which helps him make him effective when getting to the second level.
70.     Ashytyn Davis S California
Comments: Davis is a special athlete with incredible range, thanks to a history in track and field. I still think he is developing his instincts on the back end, but if his best football is yet to come, we could have a future star on our hands.
71.     Cameron Dantzler CB Mississippi State
Comments: Dantzler has good height for a corner, with outstanding arm length, and while his frame may be on the slender side, he’s not afraid to be physical. He also plays with good awareness and I think his short-area quickness mixed with that size can make him an early contributor in the NFL.
72.     Jacob Eason QB Washington
Comments: Eason has one of the biggest arms I’ve seen, which allows him to drive the ball with velocity to spots on the field most quarterbacks can’t match. However, he’s gone from Georgia to scout team to Washington without enough time in any system to prove a firm grasp of the offense, which is a concern.
73.     Rashard Lawrence DT LSU
Comments: My favorite trait about Lawrence is how active he is thanks to a burning desire to be involved on a play-by-play basis. The former-Tiger is a powerful player that will likely fit well in a two-gap scheme where his ability to attack the opposing lineman with a quick first step will pair well with his long arms and capacity to keep separation.
74.     Donovan Peoples-Jones WR Michigan
Comments: I see a lot of untapped potential thanks to the inconsistency in the Wolverine’s passing attack, as well as a less complex route-tree. Still Peoples-Jones displays very good speed and athleticism with phenomenal play strength that will make him a tough cover in an NFL offense.
75.     Davon Hamilton DT Ohio State
Comments: One of the better defensive tackles in this class at re-establishing the line of scrimmage, Hamilton plays with terrific pad level and leg drive to push big men backwards. A natural fit in a two-gap scheme, where his violent hands and motor help him get involved quite often.
76.     Devin Duvernay WR Texas
Comments: A reliable target that can line up in the slot or on the perimeter, Duvernay’s straight-line speed is something that will be exploited more in the NFL than it was at Texas. His running back build makes him a guy that can also function over the middle in more of a traditional slot role, and I think the ability to move him around will factor into his draft stock.
77.     Albert Okwuegbunam TE Missouri
Comments: Okwuegbunam shows the athleticism to beat coverage from anywhere in the formation, as well as the size to play a more traditional role. Missouri didn’t always have a good plan to get the ball to him, but with the right offensive coordinator, the former-Tiger could blossom in the NFL.
78.     Cam Akers RB Florida State
Comments: Pound for pound, Akers is one of the strongest players in this class with tree trunks for thighs that allow him to play with an incredible low center of gravity. The former-Nole changes direction with ease, and also shows natural ball skills that will give him added value in the passing game.
79.     Van Jefferson WR Florida
Comments: Blew scouts away with his exceptional route-running in Mobile, but it’s understandable that a receiver could go under the radar with the struggles Florida has had with their passing attack. The Ole Miss-transfer may not have the upside of the other receivers on this list, but Jefferson could end up as the most reliable target of the bunch.
80.     Hunter Bryant TE Washington
Comments: The best “move” tight end in this class, Bryant is a tough cover for any defender on the field, thanks to his combination of athleticism and size. Definitely has some similarities to Chicago’s Trey Burton, with more upside thanks to his reliable ball skills and ability to gain separation down the field with pure speed.
81.     Ben Bredeson G Michigan
Comments: A real technician on the interior of the offensive line, Bredeson isn’t the flashiest player, but might be one of the most consistent offensive line prospects in this draft. He is especially good in pass-protection, where he displays outstanding patience, active feet and a good ability to anchor.
82.     Jake Fromm QB Georgia
Comments: Fromm is a cerebral player that has a high-football IQ that will allow him to master an NFL playbook. He may not have the most impressive arm or mobility, but when he’s surrounded with talent, he’s capable of putting up prolific numbers.
83.     John Simpson G Clemson
Comments: The former-Tiger is a massive player with long arms and big, powerful hands. He’s not an easy player to move, but it’s not uncommon for athletic players to give him trouble. With such a big frame, he could actually slim down to gain more explosion and fluidity as an athlete.
84.     Akeem Davis-Gaither OLB Appalachian State
Comments: This draft’s second-best linebacker in coverage, behind only Isaiah Simmons, Davis-Gaither is an extremely fluid athlete for the position with terrific closing speed. He’s got to add some weight to his frame to hold up on an every-down basis, but I love the passion and intensity he brings to the field.
85.     Brycen Hopkins TE Purdue
Comments: Like Bryant, Hopkins will be able to move all over the offensive formation and won’t be an easy player to match up with in the passing game. However, I think the former-Boilermaker is slightly more reliant on being physical as opposed to winning with pure athleticism. He may also be a bit more active as a blocker.
86.     Zack Moss RB Utah
Comments: The former-Ute will fit best in a zone-heavy scheme where his vision, patience, and ability to accelerate quickly can shine. Moss doesn’t exactly have big-play potential and isn’t going to make a lot of players miss, but he does terrific balance thanks to his sturdy build.
87.     Jalen Hurts QB Oklahoma
Comments: Hurts is a fun player to evaluate because he could impact a team in a variety of ways, not only with his skills, but as a leader and teammate as well. The question will be whether or not a team feels they can develop his arm. Hurts has had limitations throwing the football down the field his entire career, and while we saw some improvement in the Sooners’ offense, accuracy may never be his strong suit. Still, Hurts’ size and athleticism offer him a unique safety net to impact the game in a role similar to Taysom Hill, while a staff continues to try and develop him as a passer.
88.     Tyler Johnson WR Minnesota
Comments: Johnson makes up for less-than-stellar speed and athleticism by excelling at some of the finer points of playing receiver. He sinks his hips and minimizes his footwork while setting up defensive backs well in his routes, and I love the focus he plays with when the ball is in the air.
89.     Robert Hunt G Louisiana-Lafayette
Comments: Hunt is a big, powerful player who could thrive with more disciplined balance, pad-level and handwork. He also has surprising athleticism for his size, and with improved technique, he could develop into one of the top interior lineman to come out of this class.
90.     Julian Okwara DE/OLB Notre Dame
Comments: There is no doubting the physical gifts of Okwara. His ability to turn the corner and accelerate is impressive, and I believe he has the overall athleticism to line up as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 which could boost his stock. While not always as consistent as his teammate
91.     Collin Johnson WR Texas
Comments: Johnson not only has incredible size on the perimeter, but he sinks his hips well for a big man, allowing him to get the necessary separation he needs in his routes. With his long arms and frame, the separation he creates makes him a tough cover for most corners, and in the right system, Johnson could be valued much higher than 91.
92.     Isaiah Wilson OT Georgia
Comments: A massive right tackle that has terrific strength, but sometimes negates it by playing too high. I’d especially like to see him play with better pad level once he gets locked on because he doesn’t get much leg drive thanks to standing straight up. Still, his future opponents better strategize going around him because through Wilson is not an option.
93.     Harrison Bryant TE Florida Atlantic
Comments: Bryant is another tight end that can line up all over the formation and create mismatches in the pass game. Not only is he a gifted route-runner and with tremendous focus, but he is also an underrated blocker when asked to do so in more of an H-back role.
94.     Jordan Elliott DT Missouri
Comments: There is no doubting Elliott’s athleticism, but I have concerns about his play strength in the NFL. He will be at his best in a one-gap penetrating scheme, where his ability to accelerate quickly and employ his active hands can give linemen problems. He’s still got a somewhat slender build, and while I’d love to see him add more bulk to his core and lower-half, he could slim down and transition to an interior end position in a hybrid scheme.
95.     Adam Trautman TE Dayton
Comments: I’ve got six tight ends ranked within a 20-pick range, and while Trautman is the sixth-ranked one in the bunch, his size and physical nature could see him be one of the top players drafted at the position. The Dayton-star plays an imposing brand of football whether blocking or running with the ball in his hands, though his athleticism is a tick behind the other tight ends in this range.
96.     Matt Hennessy C Temple
Comments: Like most players we’ve seen out of Temple in recent years, Hennessy is a hard-nosed, blue-collar player that competes to win every snap. However, he is also quite advanced with his footwork and hand-placement. He may struggle with bigger players lining up over his nose, but Hennessy should be off the board before day-two is up.
97.     Lucas Niang OT TCU
Comments: A hip injury along with some inconsistencies in his footwork and balance have me thinking he might be best as more of a developmental project as opposed to a plug-and-play guyt. Still, Niang’s ability to move at his size, as well as his power, will intrigue many into believing he can a be a future stud at right tackle for their franchise.
98.     Chase Claypool WR Notre Dame
Comments: Considering the way NFL offenses are spreading out, pass-catchers with unique skillsets has never been more valuable. Claypool is a mix of a wide receiver and H-back that has enough athleticism to out-position his opponents and enough strength to out-muscle them for the ball. There is some discrepancy between his outstanding workout numbers and his game-speed, but he showed good enough athleticism on tape to prove he is a wide receiver.
99.     Malik Harrison LB Ohio State
Comments: One of the more physical linebackers in this class, Harrison combines size, instincts and terrific take-on ability to be an effective player against the run. While he also has surprising athleticism for his size, his abilities in coverage are limited, and I think teams would be better off sending him after the quarterback.
100.  Prince Tega Wanogho OT Auburn
Comments: A Nigerian-native, Wanogho moved to America in hopes of making the most of his basketball skillset in his final two years of high school. After coming to Auburn as a defensive end, he was moved to left tackle where he made 32 starts. Still, Wanogho is still developing as an offensive lineman, and should be considered a project with the long-term upside of a starter.
