Free Agency Tracker:
1st Round
1. Kansas City Chiefs – Luke
Joeckel OT Texas A&M
*FA:
Franchise Tag LT Brandon Albert, Resign WR Dwayne Bowe. Signed CB Dunta Robinson and CB Sean Smith
(great pickup). Sign WR Donnie Avery, DE/DT Mike DeVito, TE Anthony Fasano. *Update: Alex Smith lands in KC so Joeckel/Fisher/Lotulelie/Floyd/Jordan/Milliner
could be the pick.
The Chiefs roster is
loaded with talent; the major problem is at QB.
Andy Reid made the decision to trade a 2013 second round pick and a 2014
pick for the average QB Alex Smith. The
Chiefs could have gone with the LT/QB option in round 1 and 2. Similar to the LT Jake Long/QB Chad Henne
combo over top QB Matt Ryan (not that Geno Smith is the prospect Matt Ryan was
but you get the idea). *They clearly
don’t agree with me and see something in Alex Smith that I don’t. *Cut RT Eric
Winston. *I love the value of the CB
free agent signings.
Joeckel is a Jake
Long talent and maybe the best prospect in the draft (I have him as the #2
prospect). LT Joeckel (6‘6, 310) can
protect the blind side for the next 10 years, he’s the total package. *Solid but not great Combine. He’s not an elite athlete but that’s okay
because he physically dominates pass rushers.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars –Dion Jordan DE/OLB Oregon
*FA:
*Update: The
Jags need a QB (lots of Geno Smith interest/buzz, possible smokescreen) but I
think they trade down or wait until the first pick in round 2 or 3. This pick shapes the entire draft; they could
go QB, OT, DT and DE. The Jags are
looking for big, athletic playmakers to improve the pass rush.
Dion Jordan (6’7,
240) could go as high as the Jags if he checks out medically (Shoulder). A high upside pass-rusher who still has room
to put on weight, he can play 4-3 DE or OLB in the 3-4 (best fit). Jordan has insane reach, closing speed and
upside. *Great all-around combine,
special athlete. Drawn comparisons to
Aldon Smith but I see a Javon Kerse type pass rusher. I’m very high on him. *I’m moving him up the draft board, top 5/10
now.
3. Oakland Raiders –Sharrif Floyd DT Florida
*FA: OLB Nick Roach
*Sounds like the
Raiders might pull the trigger on QB Geno Smith. Being light a CB, Dee Milliner makes a lot of
sense too. With their lack of playmakers
on the D-Line and pending free agents, they could use multiple picks on the
D-Line. This pick should come down to DT
Lotulelie/Floyd and DE Jordan/Ansah.
Florida
DT Sharrif Floyd has great upside; he’s only 20 years old and already flashes
dominance with his athletic ability, burst off the line and ability to collapse
the pocket. He’s played both DE and DT
(in 4-3, best fit) which just proves his athletic ability is off the charts for
such a big guy. * Looks like clear top 5 now.*Update: Lots of buzz that Floyd
could fly up boards, possibly into the top 3.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – Eric Fisher OT Western Michigan
*FA: OLB Connor Barwin, NT Isaac Sopoaga,
S Kenny
Phillips, S Patrick Chung, CB Cary Williams.
Release CB Nnamdi Asomugha, CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie signs with
Broncos. *Update: Resigned Vick.
The Eagles need O-Line
help with the uncertainty of Jason Peters coming back from injury. QB Geno Smith would be intriguing for new Head
Coach Chip Kelly as would OLB Dion Jordan.
DE/OLB/ and CB Dee Milliner or a NT (Star Lotulelie) makes sense as far
as team needs. *Update: with the switch to the 3-4 defense a true NT is now a
need.
This is no longer
high for Fisher; in fact this may be low for him. With OT’s Lewan and Matthews returning to
college, he’s clearly the #2 LT prospect.
Film shows quick feet and agility to go along with pure power. Scouts compare him to 49ers Joe Staley. *Stock up (6’7, 305/Long arms), dominate at
Senior Bowl. Scouts buzz that he could
contend as top overall Left Tackle and be drafted #1 overall.
5. Detroit Lions – Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah DE BYU
*FA: RB Reggie Bush, DT/DE Jason Jones, S Glover
Quin, re-sign S Louis Delmas.
CB, O-Line and DE
are needs and the Lions usually go best player available. *Update: Lions cut DE Kyle
Vanden Bosch and DE Cliff Avril is gone.
I think Ansah should
go in the top 5 and any lower than that would be a steal. His potential could make him a top 5 pick and
I think he should go top 3. Ziggy Ansah
has the look of Jason Pierre-Paul 2.0 as far as raw ability. He stands 6’6 and 270 lbs. with absolutely
freakish athletic ability and could develop into an elite pass rusher as he
gets more football under his belt. Right
now he is more skilled in the run game with insane closing speed, the pass rush
is not there yet and he needs to develop some moves. He could easily fly up draft boards in the
coming months. Ziggy Ansah can play 4-3
DE, 5 technique in the 3-4 and rush OLB in the odd front. At the Senior Bowl, he didn’t look good in
practice but when it was game time and he could just go out and play and not
think about technique he dominated and showed everything scouts are buzzing
about (closing speed/athletic/playmaker).
*Update: Great Combine. I see a
clear Top 5 talent and that’s without any real pass rush moves.
6. Cleveland Browns –Dee Milliner CB Alabama
*FA: OLB Paul Kruger, OLB
Quentin Groves, DT Desmond Bryant **Trade Down Alert
Browns
are switching to the 3-4 defense and attacked pass-rushing OLB’s in FA. CB opposite Joe Haden is the dream scenario
and it could happen. *Loaded up on OLB
in free agency so that is no longer a pressing need but may be the best value
here. *Perfect spot to trade down to a
team looking for a QB
Miller is a big
(6’1, 200) physical corner who has all the tools to be a shutdown corner. He excels in run support while still keeping
up as a cover corner. Milliner played
well against the best the SEC had to offer and is so polished and ahead of
every other CB in this draft that he could go anywhere from pick 3 to the
Titans at 10. *Combine: Ran a 4.4, speed no longer an issue. Clear top 6 pick.
7. Arizona Cardinals – Geno Smith QB West Virginia
*FA: Release FS Kerry Rhodes and SS Adrian
Wilson. Sign QB Drew Stanton, RB Rashard Mendenhall, S Yeremiah Bell
No Cards fan want a
QB mocked here but I really think it could happen. They need to take a chance on a QB and stop
wasting WR Larry Fitzgerald/Floyd. If
they don’t reach for a QB here, the other clear option here is LT Eric Fisher/Lane
Johnson or Guard Chance Warmack. *I could see Geno Smith (trade up), or trade
down for Matt Barkley and even EJ Manual here.
The ideal QB fit would be a big armed vertical threat QB (Glennon in
round 2 or 3).
Yes, it’s a
reach. Geno Smith (6’3 220) has the
size/speed/arm to be a Franchise QB (non-elite). Like every other QB in this class he is very
inconsistent but Smith splashes these big throws and running ability at times
that give him the “upside” factor. He’s
not an option QB; he’s a pocket passer that can simply run. *Average Combine, did not separate himself
from the pack.
8. Buffalo Bills – Matt Barkley QB USC
*FA: Bills
release QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Sign OLB Manny Lawson **Trade Up Alert for QB Geno
Smith or Trade down for QB’s Manuel, Nassib, Glennon.
Again, no Bills fan
likes the idea of any QB here other than Geno Smith. But there’s a good chance they take a QB here
rather than wait on Nassib in round 2. The
Bills GM Buddy Nix has told us he’s taking a Franchise QB. He may need to trade up for Geno Smith now or
take Barkley here, I know Barkley doesn’t fit the profile of a bad weather
Buffalo QB but they have to do something. Trade down or wait until round 2 for Ryan
Nassib would be ideal but how can they risk not getting a QB? A WR like Tennessee C. Patterson is the other
strong option or OLB Jarvis Jones.
Yup, it’s early and
I (still) think it will happen. Barkley
(6’2, 220) is pro-ready (West Coast), accurate and a leader. He doesn’t have any remarkable tools (Height/
Speed/Arm). We’ve seen reaches before
and we’ll see it again this year (if he goes to the Cards in Round 1). He’s a better prospect than USC QB’s Sanchez and
Lienart but not on the level of a Carson Palmer. His experience (starter since a freshman)
will be a big plus in the eyes of scouts.
*Combine: Great interviews
*Update: watching the 2011 game tape you do see why he should be
considered a top 10 pick. Some buzz that
he won’t get past Cards at 7
9. New York Jets –Barkevious Mingo DE/OLB LSU
*FA: G/OT Willie Colon, DE/OLB Antwan Barnes
I want to give them
a QB or WR (Codarrelle Paterson/Tavon Austin) but it has become clear that Rex
Ryan is in charge and runs the whole show/circus. Plus, the Jets would be in cap hell if they
cut Mark Sanchez. They have to take a QB
somewhere in this draft (Round 2/3).
They have wanted an OLB pass-rusher for years.
Mingo (6’5, 240) is
the best available player here. Mingo
has survived on his athletic ability so far and been great; he now needs to
work on shedding blocks when initially shut down. *Update: Other pass-rushers are climbing (BYU
DE/OLB Ziggy Ansah). *Update: He could
still go top 3 but I’m moving him down for now.
10. Tennessee Titans – Chance Warmack G Alabama
*FA: Titans sign Former Bills G Andy Levitre,
top Guard available in free agency.
Signed DT Sammie Lee Hill, RB Shonn Greene, S Bernard Pollard
Interior O-Line,
D-Line and the secondary are need areas.
The top CB (Milliner) would be the dream scenario but I don’t think he
falls. The top Guard (Warmack or Cooper)
or 4-3 DE/DT could also be considered here.
Even with Levitre they should still look for interior O-Line help.
Guards rarely go
this high but Warmack (6’3, 320) is the best interior O-Line prospect to come
out in years; he could go as high as the Titans at 10 or even the Cardinals at
7. Warmack plays with a mean streak to
go along with great technique and pure power.
He looks like a young Larry Allen, yeah, he’s that good. He dominates at the 1st level then
has the ability to block at the 2nd and even 3rd level.
11. San Diego Chargers –Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
*FA: Lost G Louis Vasquez. Sign CB Derek Cox
They must improve
the O-Line to protect Rivers and a least give the talented QB a chance to
succeed.
This is the absolute
last landing spot for Lane Johnson and he could easily go to the Cards at
7. Stock up (6’6, 302/Left Tackle),
could eventually move into early 1st round (Cards/Chargers) with lack of elite
Left Tackles. Impressive Senior
Bowl. Very athletic, former QB/TE. Could easily go top 10. *Update: Great overall Combine numbers continues
to rise, looks like a top 11 pick now.
12. Miami Dolphins – Xavier Rhodes CB Florida St
FA: WR Mike Wallace, LB Dannell Ellerbe, LB
Philip Wheeler, TE Dustin Keller
Miami has crushed
Free Agency filling many need areas; signing
#1 FA WR Mike Wallace and re-signing WR Hartline along with a lot of other
moves. Options are a top
CB/Safety/Rush OLB and DT. *Franchise DL
Randy Starks.
Rhodes is
a big (6’2, 215), physical, athletic corner who could really rise up the draft
during the combine/team workouts.
Physically imposing with great ball skills. *Great Combine, showed speed
and ball skills. A bit stiff in the hips
but that’s the tradeoff you get with a big corner. *Scouting process should be good to Rhodes
given his physical gifts. Still looks
like a mid-1st round pick to me.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Star Lotulelie DT/NT/DE Utah
*FA: S Dashon Goldson
With the trade of CB
Talib to the Patriots, corner is a huge need and they really could use two
starting CB’s. D-Line pass-rushers should
be addressed as well.
Personally
I think Star should go #1 overall. Star
Lotulelie (6’4, 325) is a massive DT who lives in the backfield with great
explosion off the line, has drawn comparisons to DT Suh and Ngata. Personally, I have Lotulelie as the #1 prospect
in the draft. Scheme diverse, he can
play NT and DE in the 3-4 or DT in the 4-3.
*Update*: Heart problem detected at the Combine, medicals are now a big
issue. **I can’t move the best player in
the draft too far down until we get a clear medical update on his heart. He is still very much in play to be picked in
the top 4 overall.
14. Carolina Panthers – Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri
*FA:
The Panthers have
needed help at DT for years and the mid round DT picks have not been kind or
produced successful starting caliber lineman.
A #2 WR is also a possibility here but round 2/3 is loaded with WR. This could be the landing spot for WR Tavon Austin.
Richardson (6’2,
200) is more of a pass rushing DT than run stuffing and his upside is huge due
to this pure athletic ability. Drawn
comparisons to Warren Sapp. If DT Star Lotulelie falls for medical reasons then Richardson has the
talent to go top 10.
15. New Orleans Saints – Jarvis Jones DE/OLB Georgia
*FA: sign CB Keenan Lewis
The saints need help
all along the D-Line as they are near the bottom of the league in pass/run
defense. *Update: Saints will be
switching to the 3-4 Defense. DL/Rush OLB/Secondary
all look to be strong options.
Jarvis
Jones is a true sack machine who can be used like OLB Von Miller of the Broncos
in a 4-3 or rush linebacker in the 3-4 (best fit). An elite pass-rusher
improves every level of the defense.
Jones (6’3, 240) has an explosive first step off the snap and used speed
more than power in college. He’s a
perfect fit for any team as a 3-4 rush OLB but can play OLB in the 4-3
defense. Jones is a Top 5 talent but his
medical history could really drop him down the draft, a smart team will catch
him and be rewarded IMO. *Update:
Medical issues are a red flag so his stock could drop. *Update:
Combine: Teams are taking Jones off draft boards due to medical
(Back/Spine), could be in for a big free fall.
*Mixed reports: some say spinal stenosis is not an issue; it will come
down to team doctor’s reports.
16. St. Louis Rams –Kenny Vaccaro FS Texas
*FA: TE Jared Cook, LT Jake Long
O-line, WR and
Safety are all option here for the Rams.
With the signing of LT Jake Long, O-Tackle is not a pressing need but an
impact guard could still be the pick here.
Many have WR Tavon Austin here and that makes a ton of sense.
Kenny Vaccaro (Free
Safety) is the clear cut #1 Safety in the draft and for good reason. He is a true difference maker on D in the
mold of Troy Polamalu. He has all the
tools, size/speed and great football instincts.
He has the speed/hands of a CB with the strength of a Safety. He has the ability to cover any Tight End
which raises his stock even more. *Stock
up, scouts say he could go top 10.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers – Codarrelle Patterson WR Tennessee
*FA: Lost WR Mike
Wallace
The Steelers go BPA. This pick could go any number of ways: S,
OLB, WR, CB and DL.
Patterson (6’3, 210)
has the most upside of any WR in the draft and is trying to fight off Tavon
Austin as the first WR off the board. He
is truly fun to watch, he glides effortlessly like Randy Moss. He’s a bit raw in route running but his
size/speed/hands make him the total package.
*Combine: Showed elite athletic ability, stock up.
18. Dallas Cowboys – Jonathan Cooper G North Carolina
*FA: Franchise
DE/OLB Spencer
Team needs include
interior O-Line, D-Line and Safety. They
are changing Defensive schemes and will now run and base 4-3 cover 2
Defense. They now need the players to
fit the scheme and a true DT will go a long way to ease the transition. Jay Ratliff’s future was uncertain to begin
with and now a DWI could land him out of Dallas, making D-Line an even bigger
need. It will come down to the top
Guard/DE/DT/S. If both guards are off
the board they could look at RT DJ Fluker.
The best available DT could have the most value. *Franchise DE/OLB Spencer. *O-Line is a bigger need than DT/S but all
the top O-Lineman may be off the board.
Cooper (6’2, 312) is
a good start, a dominant interior blocker with great technique and a steal at
this point. Cooper is more athletic than
Chance Warmack; Warmack relies on pure power while Cooper is more agile. He’s the best pure athlete at the guard
position to come out in nearly 10 years.
*Stock up: Top 12 possible.
19. New York Giants – Bjoern Werner DE/OLB Florida St
*FA: Re-sign OT William Beatty, sign DT Cullen
Jenkins, CB Aaron Ross and RB Ryan Torain. Sign TE Brandon Myers and MLB Dan Connor, OLB
Keith Rivers, Re-sign LG Kevin Boothe.
The Giants have
needs at D-Line, Linebacker, Corner and O-Line.
The O-Line comes back in tact with the resigning of LT Will Beatty and
LG Kevin Boothe, RT David Diehl could be cut but RT James Brewer could step in. At DE, Osi is out and Justin Tuck had a down
year. CB Corey Webster was truly awful
and hard to watch and the Giants have needed Linebackers forever. The best available DE is the most likely
scenario. LB options include Teo/Ogletree/Brown;
DE here could be FSU DE Bjoern Werner, Tank Carradine and UCLA’s Datone
Jones. The Giants rarely pick a
linebacker in the 1st Round but with the new era of QB/TE’s they
should consider a do it all linebacker here (Ogletree/Brown). *Update: NYG
released LB Michael Boley, RB Bradshaw and DT Canty.
Werner is drawing
comparisons to DE Chris Long but he’s not the athlete Long is. He can play in the 4-3 (best fit) at DE
(Jags/Lions) or the 3-4 (Browns) as the pass rushing OLB (not ideal). Werner (6”4, 255) continues to move up and
down draft boards. The tape shows an
instinctive knowledge of his position as he loves to knock down passes like JJ
Watt when he knows he can’t get to the QB. *Combine showed he was not as athletic
as first thought but the guys a football player. May be better suited as a 4-3 end and not an
OLB but the tape shows he can be an OLB in the 3-4 Defense and I agree. *Stock is dropping, once thought to be a top
6 pick.
20. Chicago Bears –Alec Ogletree LB Georgia
*FA: OT Jermon Bushrod, TE Martellus Bennett, OLB
D.J. Williams, S Tom Zbikowski
Gone: LB Brian Urlacher.
O-Line, TE, MLB,
slot WR. The Bears needed upgrades
across the offensive line to give Cutler a chance to be successful, which they
did in free agency. *They now could look
for a future MLB like Manti Teo/Ogletree/Brown.
The top available Guard (Cooper) or the best RT in DJ Fluker should
still be considered. *Update: Franchise tag on DT Henry Melton, Urlacher gone.
Ogletree (6’3, 225)
is the total package on the field, off the field is another question. A three down linebacker with sideline to
sideline speed and he can play all three LB positions (I see a middle
linebacker but he could play Will/Sam backer in the 4-3. Good size/speed and a nose for the
football. Ogletree averaged over 10
tackles per game, the guy’s a machine.
He’s a former safety with amazing athletic ability and will only get
better. *Update: Just charged with a
DUI a week before the combine, just awful.
His stock will plummet; he was also suspended for the first four games
in 2012 due to a positive drug test.
*Stock down: Off the field concerns.
21. Cincinnati Bengals – DJ Fluker OT Alabama
*FA: re-sign ILB Rey Malaluga, Franchise
DE Michael Johnson
The Bengals have
been one of the best drafting teams over the last few years and will be looking
to load up with all their picks. What a great pick-up in LB Vontez Burfict as
an undrafted free agent last year. Need
areas are a 3 down RB, DE, Safety and LB. If they lose DE Michael Johnson
(Update: Johnson got the Franchise Tag) via free agency the best available DE
makes sense (DE Datone Jones). It’s a
bit early for a RB here (Eddie Lacy).
Stock up
for Fluker (6’4, 355/long arms), could move into the 1st round. A massive Right Tackle, doesn’t have the feet
for a LT but will be a dominate RT. *Most have him in the mid-1st
Round. *Combine Buzz that he could go as
high as the Cowboys in Round 1.
22. St. Louis Rams (via Redskins) – Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
The Rams could go a
lot of different ways with this pick, it all depends on what they do at pick
#16. (Safety, O-line, WR and LB)
This is low for
Austin and he could now go in the top 10.
Austin (5’9, 175) is the ideal slot receiver but can also play outside
and stretch the field. Another offensive
weapon would make this offense dynamic.
WR Austin could go as high as the Patriots in Round 1. *Combine: Great showing and second fastest
WR. More impressive in that he has game
quickness to go along with track speed.
*Buzz now has him as a top 20 pick.
He’s smaller than Percy Harvin but can be used the same way, instant
game changer.
23. Minnesota Vikings – DeAndre Hopkins WR Clemson
*FA: WR Greg Jennings,
QB Matt Cassel. Release CB Winfield.
*Update:
Trade Percy Harvin to the Seahawks for 1st, 7th and 2014
mid round pick.
The Vikings need
more WR help to compliment Peterson and Rudolf and now Greg Jennings. They just need to continue to surround Ponder
with weapons to maximize his potential. Other options include DT or CB. The Vikings should take the best available WR
to make this offense the juggernaut it can be with Adrian Peterson.
A difference maker
at WR like Nuke Hopkins (6’1, 200), who can really stretch the field, would
greatly benefit the QB. In the mold of
Roddy White, the more you watch the more he moves up the draft. He can make an impact from day one; some
scouts view him as the #1 WR in the draft. *Combine: Great all around combine, impressive hands to
go along with explosive speed.
24. Indianapolis Colts – Cornelius “Tank” Carradine DE Florida St
*FA: OT Gosder Cherilus, OLB Erik Walden, CB Greg
Toler, G Donald Thomas, S LaRon Landry, DE/DT Ricky Jean-Francois
Protect Andrew Luck
at all cost, he’s the franchise. CB, DT/OLB
(pass rush) are also big needs but keeping Luck off the turf has to be the top priority
(Colts addressed the O-Line in free agency). With the loss of their second
round pick (Vonte Davis) they could trade down and still get their player while
recouping their 2nd round pick.
*DE Dwight Freeney will not be back.
*Well, now it looks like all the top O-Lineman may be off the board.
Tank Carradine is an elite talent (6’5,260) who is
overcoming ACL injuries, clear 1st round ability when healthy. If he checks out medically it’s possible a
team takes a shot at him early in Round 1.
He is a top 10 talent and a complete 4-3 DE who can also plat OLB in the
3-4 D.
*Combine stock up, should end up as a top 32 pick. Possible 1st round pick as high as
#10, without the injury he would be considered for the #2 overall pick.
25. Minnesota Vikings (Seahawks) – Desmond Trufant CB Washington
*Vikings
acquire this pick in the Percy Harvin trade.
Stock up, possible
mid-1st round. Great
Senior Bowl/Combine, showing off his man to man cover skills (6’0, 185). NFL bloodlines who has a chance to be the 2nd
CB off the board in round one.
*Combine: Showed top end speed in the 40 yard dash. Could go higher in round 1 now. Tape shows he’s not as physical with
receivers as you want, that’s the only reason he could drop a bit.
26. Green Bay Packers – Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame
*FA:
O-line/D-Line/Linebackers
are needs and TE Finley will not be around forever, but he will be back for the
2013 season. The Packers can take the
best player available here given their talented roster. Even with TE Finley coming back TE’s Tyler
Eifert/Zach Ertz should be considered.
An O-Tackle should be considered if available. *CB Charles Woodson will
not be back.
TE Tyler Eifert
(6’6, 250) should be a strong consideration here. He’s battling Stanford’s TE Zach Ertz as the
first TE off the board. Either TE could easily go mid/late in the 1st
round. He’s a great receiver and fits
the new era of pass catching Tight Ends.
*Update: Eifert outscored Zach Ertz in all areas at the Combine.
27. Houston Texans – Keenan Allen WR California
*FA: Sign S Ed Reed,
P Shane Lechler
A #2 WR (who will
eventually become the #1) is still a need but an impact inside linebacker could
bring the Texans D back to last year’s dominance Cushing is coming off an injury so an ILB could
be insurance and an eventual starter alongside Cushing. *Update: Texans Owner says ILB is a need area.
*Looks like a WR is a very strong option here.
Keenan Allen was
battling Tennessee WR Codarrelle Patterson for the #1 WR prospect spot in the
draft but his injury has left his draft landing spot cloudy. Allen, 6’3, 200lbs, has all the traits you
look for in a WR with great Height/Weight/Physical and production. Not elite speed but can create space off the
line. Allen battles for every ball like Anquan Boldin. Combine: did not work out due to injury. Scouts compare him to Reggie Wayne.
28. Denver Broncos – Sylvester Williams DT North Carolina
*FA: WR Wes Welker, CB
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, G Louis Vasquez, NT Terrance Knighton
After
watching the playoffs its clear Champ Baily is on the decline and CB is a need
area along with DT and OG. I think the
best available DT or CB like Trufant/Rhodes will be the pick. Update: Franchise
tag on LT Ryan Clady.
Stock up, great
Senior Bowl and Combine. Even with a
very deep DT class he could force his way into the mid-1st
round. Great burst off the line, violent
hands and gets after the QB. At 6’2,
310lbs; an ideal 3 technique.
29. New England Patriots – Justin Hunter WR Tennessee
*FA: WR Danny Amendola, SS Adrian Wilson, re-sign
CB Kyle Arrington, re-sign CB Aqib Talib, re-sign OT Sebastian Vollmer
The Patriots could
really go in any direction here. Needs
include interior D-Line, CB, WR and Safety.
I think the #1 option here would be to trade down (to a team looking for
a QB) and get their player in Round 2 while recouping some of the mid-round picks
they lost through trades. Corners
Desmond Trufant or Xavier Rhodes fit BB’s scheme and would make a lot of sense
here as would Safety Matt Elam (BB loves his Florida players). Also, West
Virginia WR Tavon Austin is a good fit as the future slot receiver but he will
be gone. *It’s clear now the top need is an outside vertical threat WR.
An ACL injury in
2011 drops Hunter a bit. At (6’4, 200)
he is pro ready and extremely talented with great size/speed. *Combine: Great showing all around (speed/vert/explosive)
30. Atlanta Falcons – Datone Jones DE UCLA
*FA: RB Steven Jackson, re-sign TE Tony Gonzalez,
OT Sam Baker, S William Moore, sign DE Osi Umenyiora
Needs include DE, DT,
TE, CB and some help on the O-Line. I
think the #1 priority is to find another pass-rusher (even after signing
Osi) or CB. A TE could be in the mix but
it’s a deep draft for TE’s and to be honest Tony G is showing no signs of
slowing down, he’s actually getting better if that’s even possible. If a top 3 CB falls here that would make a
lot of sense. *Update: Falcons cut RB
Turner, DE Abraham and CB Dunta Robinson.
Stock way
up, great Senior Bowl/Combine. A big
(6’4, 280) DE who could land in the mid-1st Round. Can play 4-3 DE or 5 technique in the 3-4
(best fit). He’s big, athletic/powerful
and can get after the QB. Could easily
land as high as the Giants at #19.
31. San Francisco 49ers – Margus Hunt DE SMU
*FA: DT Glenn Dorsey, Acquire WR Boldin for a 6th
round pick.
The 49ers have a
great defense but lack depth on the D-Line and after the Super Bowl it’s clear
the CB’s need to be upgraded. The best
available CB would make a lot of sense here as well.
Stock up physically
(6’8, 277). Physical Freak/Raw with
untapped potential. May be best suited
as a 5 Technique in the 3-4 D but can play LE in the 4-3. Game tape shows limited pass-rushing moves. He could go as high as the late 1st
round to the 49ers. *I’m
higher on him than most, love the upside.
32. Baltimore Ravens – Arthur Brown LB Kansas St
*FA: re-sign QB Joe Flacco, sign DE/DT Chris
Canty, DE/DT Marcus Spears, DE/OLB Elvis Dumervil, S Michael Huff
Ray Lewis finished
his Hall of Fame career with a Super Bowl victory and it’s time to find his replacement. Safety could also be in play here (Florida S Matt
Elam).
Stock up, mid round 1 is possible. Brown (6’1, 240) is an athletic/versatile LB
who has played MLB but his best fit may be WLB in the 4-3 D or ILB in the 3-4 D. Started career with the Miami
Hurricanes. He has bulked up a bit but
hasn’t lost a step, a rare prospect: size of a LB with speed of a safety. Could go as high as the NYG at #19.
Round 2
33. Jacksonville Jaguars – EJ Manuel QB Florida State
At 6’4, 220 he has all the physical tools and should
continue to climb draft boards, I expect someone to take a chance on him in
round 2. His game tape is wildly
inconsistent; he needs a good coach and talent around him. Amazing upside, as both a read option QB and
pocket passer. Right now he does not
have great footwork and his decision making is poor but I just have a gut
feeling about this guy, can’t explain it but I’m sticking with him. *Stock up, good Senior Bowl and great
Combine. I’m higher on him than most;
I’d take late 1, early round 2.
34. San Francisco 49ers (via Kansas City Chiefs) – Matt Elam SS Florida
Elam could go late
in the 1st and is a playmaking Strong Safety. (5’10, 200) A ball hawk in the mold of Ed Reed;
plays aggressive and loves contact.
Great hands, goes up and attacks the ball. Plays with a swagger and backs it up. *Stock
up, solid Combine.
35. Philadelphia Eagles – Johnthan Banks CB Mississippi St
Banks is a big (6’2,
185), physical corner who looks to be best suited for a zone coverage
secondary. *Update: Stock drops after
slow 40 and other CB’s rise (Trufant/Rhodes).
36. Detroit Lions – Blidi Wreh-Wilson CB Connecticut
Stock up, big/physical corner (6’1, 190 lbs.) Could easily land in round 1 or 2. I think he should go higher, like everything
about his game.
37. Cincinnati Bengals (via Raiders) – Eddie Lacy RB Alabama
Lacy could be 1st
RB off the board. Any potential 3-down
RB will be in demand. Interested to see
his 40 time when he’s healthy. Could
easily jump into the 1st round.
Cleveland Browns – *(2012
Supplemental Draft)
38. Arizona Cardinals – Meneilk Watson OT Florida St
I think he should go
mid-1st round. Meneilk Watson
(6’6, 320) has the upside to be a Franchise Left Tackle (would start career off
at right tackle) and you don’t pass on that.
He could rise by draft day.
*Stock up, Big/athletic former Basketball player. He has everything you want in a Left Tackle
except experience.
39. New York Jets – Tyler Wilson QB Arkansas
Stock up as far as
height/weight (6’2, 215). He’s still in
the conversation to be the top QB chosen; he has the arm and makeup to be a
solid starter. His film is inconsistent
(as is every QB this year) deep ball accuracy is a problem and his O-Line was
truly awful this year forcing a lot of ill-advised throws which is making him
an even tougher evaluations for scouts.
Wilson has the talent to go in the first round to the Cards/Bills and
Jets. You really have to watch the 2011
film to see the talent. *Small hands may
be causing the deep ball “floaters”
40. Tennessee Titans – Damontre
Moore DE/OLB Texas A&M
“Damonster” Moore
(6’4, 250) is a pure pass-rusher with experience at OLB and DE. Non-Stop motor, always headed up field
attacking the QB. Strength is now in
question after only 12 reps on the bench.
Even if he drops some there is no denying his pass rush skills. He’s better on the field than in shorts at
the combine, the tape doesn’t lie and he can get to the QB. *Update: Poor Combine, Stock is dropping like
a rock. Not overly athletic or strong.
41. Buffalo Bills – Robert Woods WR USC
(6’1, 190) Production down this year with injured
Barkley. Extremely productive freshman
and sophomore year. Great hands, route
running but not a speed WR. Late 1st/2nd
round possible. Looks like a young
Reggie Wayne on film. *Combine: So impressive in drills
and interviews, stock is only going up.
Looks like the most pro ready WR in the draft.
42. Miami Dolphins – Jonathan Cyprien SS Florida Int.
Stock up (6’0, 210), impressive Senior Bowl. *Lots of buzz right now, late 1st
round possible.
43. Tampa Bay Buccaneers –Jamar Taylor CB Boise St
Stock up. Taylor (5’11, 190) is a tough, physical
corner with 4.39 speed. He can play in
any scheme.
44. Carolina Panthers – Terrance Williams WR Baylor
Williams (6’2,
200lbs) matches great size with speed and is a better prospect then last year
Baylor 1st rounder Kendall Wright.
*Combine: Good not great, other WR are passing him.
45. San Diego Chargers – Justin Pugh OG/OT Syracuse
Stock
down as a Left Tackle/ Stock up at Guard (6’4, 305/short arms, guard), May not make
it at Left Tackle but could be impact Guard. Better version of Giants David
Diehl.
New Orleans Saints – *Forfeited (Bounty)
46. St. Louis Rams – Larry Warford G Kentucky
Stock up (6’3,
333). A Big mauler, very impressive on
film with his ability to just manhandle defensive tackles. Can play guard or Right Tackle.
47. Dallas Cowboys – John Jenkins NT/DT Georgia
Jenkins goes 6’3,
350lbs and is just a massive human being with good athleticism working inside
in the 3-4 Defense or DT in a 4-3. Vince Wilfork type frame.
48. Pittsburgh Steelers – Jonathan Hankins DT/NT Ohio St
Hankins is a NT in
the 3-4 but is scheme diverse and can play DT in the 4-3 Defense. At 6’4, 320 he’s a space eater with
surprising burst off the line. He didn’t
look great at the combine but his game tape backs up this high selection.
49. New York Giants – Manti Teo ILB Notre Dame
And now we get to
Manti Teo, this is one crazy story and his draft stock is all over the place
right now. The interview process becomes
HUGE for him now as teams try and figure out what kind of guy he really is off
the field. The talent is there and
should trump any character concerns come draft day. You can’t deny his production and complete
overall game. He’s very aggressive in
the run game and has the athletic ability to cover TE’s and RB’s out of the
backfield. He could be the best player
available here and at a position of need.
*Update: Really struggled against Alabama’s pro like O-Line, Ogletree
and Minter could pass him. *Combine: Did
well in media session but a bad 40 (4.80).
50. Chicago Bears –Jesse Williams DT Alabama
A big DT (6’4, 320)
that can play in the 4-3 or 3-4. More of
a space eater than pass rusher.
51. Washington Redskins – Logan Ryan CB Rutgers
*FA: Release CB
Hall, sign RT Jeremy Trueblood. The
Redskins don’t have a 1st round pick due to the RG3 trade (worth it
and then some). Main need areas are the
secondary and O-Line.
Looks like a solid round 2 prospect, complete CB. At 6’0, 190 lbs. he excels at man coverage.
*I think he’s going to be a great CB and a steal here.
52. Minnesota Vikings – Kawann Short DT Purdue
Stock up, DT Short
(6’3, 310) has been impressive with his quick burst off the line and ability to
be explosive (great hands) and make plays in the backfield. Could go anywhere from mid-1st to
late 2nd with the great DT depth in this draft. A rare sack machine from the defensive tackle
position.
53. Cincinnati Bengals – Alex Oakfor DE Texas
(6’4, 260) Stock up,
most scouts say Oakfor should land in the 1st round eventually. Could go as high as NYG at 19. He did not work out at Combine due to
injury. *Update: Mixed review from
scouts, now say anywhere from Round 1 to 3.
54. Miami Dolphins (via Colts) – Giovanni Bernard RB North Carolina
He’s battling Eddie
Lacy to be the top RB in the draft. A
complete 3 down back with home run ability any time he touches the ball. He’s tough, doesn’t shy away from blocking
and a receiving threat out of the backfield.
55. Green Bay Packers – Barrett Jones C/G/T Alabama
Jones is the most
versatile O-Lineman in the draft and has played all 5 positions along the
line. He plays through injuries and has
a fiery personality to go along with his aggressive interior O-Line play.
56. Seattle Seahawks – Bennie Logan DT LSU
*FA: Sign DE Cliff Avril, DE Michael Bennett *Update: Traded 1st, 7th
and 2014 mid round pick to the Vikings for Percy Harvin.
Tough to mock for
the Seahawks, they have their own draft board and it’s proved to be extremely
successful. They could go WR, OT, TE or
DE/DT.
Stock up, could go late
1st round. Given his
athleticism and pass rush ability, I think he can play in any defensive front
and pressure the QB.
57. Houston Texans – Kevin Minter ILB LSU
Minter (6’0, 250) is
a physical, aggressive linebacker who is always attacking. Perfect fit as a 3-4 ILB, big thumper who
takes on blocks well, speed is not his game.
58. Denver Broncos –Darius Slay, CB Mississippi State
Stock up, Round 2 possible after
great combine and film study shows he’s just as good as teammate CB Johnthan
Banks. Stands 6’0, 190lbs with 4.36 speed.
59. New England Patriots – David Amerson CB/S North Carolina
A big, 6’1 corner
that could end up at Safety. Great size
and versatility. Says he’s willing to
move to Safety. Combine: Showed corner
speed (4.4), Stock up.
60. Atlanta Falcons – Zach Ertz TE Stanford
Ertz could go
mid/late 1st round. At 6’6, 250lbs. he’s more of a pass catching TE
but his blocking has improved. He’s a
better all-around prospect than former teammate Colby Fleener. *Update: Not a great combine, was outshined
by ND TE Tyler Eifert.
61. San Francisco 49ers – Quinton Patton WR LA Tech
Stock up, Round 2 probable. (6’2, 210) impressive Senior
Bowl proved he belongs with the top 5 WR prospects.*Impressive combine, looks like round 2 lock.
62. Baltimore Ravens – Eric Reid FS LSU
A big hitting Free
Safety at 6’2, 205.
Round 3
63. Kansas City Chiefs – Aaron Dobson WR Marshall
Stock up, Round 2/3. A big (6’3, 200), polished route runner with
plus deep speed. A future #1 WR option
64. Jacksonville Jaguars – Jordan
Poyer CB Oregon St
A rising CB prospect
that fills a need. (5’11, 180) also
helps in the return game.
65. Detroit Lions – Terron Armstead OT Ark. Pine Bluff
*Stock up; great combine with fastest 40 yard time in
Offensive lineman history. Extremely
athletic, possible round 2 or 3 now.
Best D1 AA prospect.
66. Oakland Raiders – Kyle Long OT/OG Oregon
Stock up
(Room to grow/Howie Longs son). Long can
play O-Tackle or Guard. *Good combine, showed his athleticism.
67. Philadelphia Eagles – Corey Lemonier DE/OLB Auburn
Stock up,
Round 2 talent.
68. Cleveland Browns – Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse
(6’2, 220), Andy
Dalton comparisons. Nassib could go as
high as the Bills in round 1 or now round 2 or 3. Mixed reports from Senior
Bowl, I’m not seeing any special tools and he just can’t throw the deep ball
with accuracy. He has all the intangible
tools you want in a QB, however the physical tools are lacking.
69. Arizona Cardinals – Robert Alford, CB Southeastern Louisiana
Stock up,
Combine
70. Tennessee Titans – D.J. Swearinger FS South Carolina
Stock up (5’11, 210).
Plays aggressive, big hitter with impressive all-around game tape. Early 2nd Round buzz.
71. Buffalo Bills – Khaseem
Greene LB Rutgers
Stock up, could climb to the top of the 2nd
round. An athletic former Safety, now a
sideline to sideline LB. Seahawks
showing interest.
72. New York Jets – Da’Rick Rogers WR Tennessee Tech
WR Rodgers started
off at Tennessee; he was kicked off the team then transferred to Tech. (6’3,
205) Rodgers is a big physical WR with good speed. Upside, character concerns with round 2
talent. Compares favorably to Dez
Bryant. *Stock up: Great combine
73. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jordan Reed TE Florida
Stock up (Aaron
Hernandez is training Reed). Former QB
still learning the position, Aaron Hernandez comparisons are out
there.*Combine: Stock down, checked in shorter and lighter
74. San Francisco 49ers (via Panthers) – Cobi Hamilton WR Arkansas
Round
2/3. (6’3, 200). Poor Combine.
75. New Orleans Saints – Akeem Spence DT Illinois
Stock up, solid Combine
76. San Diego Chargers – Will Davis CB Utah State
Stock up, underrated corner.
77. Miami Dolphins – Brandon Jenkins DE/OLB Florida St
A big time talent who drops coming off injury. Nice Upside
78. St. Louis Rams – Jamie Collins OLB Southern Miss
*Stock up: Elite Combine performance, showed explosion
throughout the entire test.
79. Pittsburgh Steelers – Le'Veon Bell RB Michigan State
A big (6’2, 240) RB, more than just a power back with
improved receiving skills out of the backfield.
*Stock up: Great combine
80. Dallas Cowboys – Phillip Thomas FS Fresno St
80. Dallas Cowboys – Phillip Thomas FS Fresno St
Stock up, Round 2. Rising Safety prospect at a position of need.
81. New York Giants – Travis Frederick OG/C Wisconsin
His best
position looks to be Guard even though he played Center in 2012. Wisconsin keeps pumping out O-Line prospects.
A versatile (6’4, 310lbs) interior offensive lineman.
82. Miami Dolphins (via Bears) – Tyrann Mathieu CB LSU
82. Miami Dolphins (via Bears) – Tyrann Mathieu CB LSU
Stock up
after impressive Combine, anywhere from round 2-5. Elite ball/return skills, 4.5 40 yard
dash. Who will take a chance on him?
83. Minnesota Vikings – Michael Buchanan DE Illinois
Stock up
84. Cincinnati Bengals – Vance McDonald TE Rice
*Stock up, move up to Round
2/3. Great Combine, Jason Witten
comparisons.
85. Washington Redskins – Dallas Thomas OG/OT Tennessee
85. Washington Redskins – Dallas Thomas OG/OT Tennessee
Thomas
looks like he will kick inside to Guard or RT (6’5, 305/Guard, RT)
86. Indianapolis Colts – David Bakhtiari OT/OG Colorado
Looks like he will move to Left Guard. *Stock up, Combine buzz, Round 2 or 3.
87. Seattle Seahawks – Zaviar Gooden OLB Missouri
*Stock way up, great Combine. Fastest 40 time for all linebackers.
88. Green Bay Packers – Marcus Lattimore, RB South Carolina
If not for injuries he would be a 1st
round pick. Special talent, unfortunate
injuries over the last two years have cost him.
Could go as high as round 2. I’m
a big fan. *Stock up: Sounds like his
recovery is way ahead of schedule.
89. Houston Texans – William Gholston DE/DT Michigan St
89. Houston Texans – William Gholston DE/DT Michigan St
Better fit in the 3-4 D as 5 Technique.
90. Denver Broncos – J.J. Wilcox S Georgia Southern
Stock up, Round 2/3
buzz
91. New England Patriots – Brandon Williams DT Missouri Southern
Stock up, Round 2/3.
The best D2 defensive talent.
92. Atlanta Falcons – D.J. Hayden, CB, Houston
If injury checks out, Top 100
93. San Francisco 49ers –Jordan Hill, DT Penn State
94. Baltimore Ravens – Stedman Bailey WR West Virginia
Stock up. A very fast (5’10, 190) slot receiver with
great hands and big play ability.
95. Houston Texans (comp) Marc Anthony CB California
Round 3 or 4.
96. Kansas City Chiefs (comp) Jelani Jenkins OLB Florida
Stock up, great Combine
97. Tennessee Titans (comp) Marquise Goodwin WR Texas
Stock up, amazing speed. A true
vertical threat who can play outside and in the slot. Has some Mike Wallace to his game.
*Fastest 40 yard dash at the Combine
Round 4
98.
Jacksonville – TJ McDonald FS USC
Stock up,
big/physical safety. Stock down: game
tape. Needs to take better angles on
WR/TE when playing centerfield.
99. Kansas City – Kevin Reddick ILB North Carolina
Stock up, weak ILB draft class could push him up boards
100. Oakland – Mike Glennon QB North Carolina St
Glennon (6’6, 205)
is a pocket/vertical passing QB. If a
team falls in love with his tools/upside and disregards his game tape/decision
making, he could go in the top 10 come draft day. His decision making is the big question mark
(as is his lack of pure athletic ability) and watching his game tape he is
wildly inconsistent. The tools (as a
vertical passing threat) are there to be a starter and you’re hearing Ryan
Mallet as a comparison but with no off the field questions. *Update: Good Senior Bowl, powerful arm and
good deep ball. Clearly needs to put on
weight and find a weight room. *Combine: Average overall, did look good when he
got in a rhythm during passing drills.
Looks like he is destined for the 2nd/3rd round.
101. Philadelphia – Leon McFadden CB SD St.
102. Minnesota (via Lions)– Terry Hawthorne CB Illinois
Stock up, big physical corner.
103. Arizona – Sam Montgomery DE LSU
Stock down. Not as productive as you would think while
playing on the most talented D-Line in College Football. LSU coaches are saying he doesn’t work hard,
big red flag. *Admitted to gabling with
teammates at LSU and not playing as hard vs. lesser competition. Unbelievable, someone needs to talk to this
guy. Stock way down.
104. Cleveland – Markus Wheaton WR Oregon St
Combine: Stock up
105. Buffalo – Kwame Geathers DT Georgia
106. New York Jets – Christine Michael RB Texas A&M
*Stock up, great combine.
Impressive speed, character concerns.
107. Tennessee – Gavin Escobar TE San Diego ST
Stock way up, Round 2 or 3
108. Carolina – Sean Porter OLB Texas A&M
Stock down. 4-3 OLB
109. New Orleans – Ricky Wagner OT Wisconsin
Right Tackle
110. San Diego – Morgan Breslin DE USC
111. Miami – Oday Aboushi OT Virginia
Stock down as a Left
Tackle after being pushed around at Senior Bowl. Will land at left guard/right tackle if he
can’t play Left Tackle. Virginia has put
out a lot of solid OL prospects.
112. Tampa Bay – Montee Ball RB Wisconsin
Stock
down, round 2/3 (5’11, 215). Zone
blocking RB.
113. St. Louis – Gerald Hodges OLB Penn State
114. Dallas – Tyler Bray QB Tennessee
Tools are there, maturity questions remain. *Stock up: great
combine
115. Pittsburgh – Jon Bostic ILB Florida
*Stock up, great Combine.
Faster than I expected
116. New York Giants – Brennan Williams OT North Carolina
Raw LT
prospect, Upside pick
117. Chicago – Nickell Robey CB USC
Smaller CB, good slot corner.
118. Cincinnati – Tony Jefferson FS Oklahoma
In the box, big hitting safety
119. Washington – B.W. Webb CB William & Mary
Stock up, more CB help.
120. Minnesota – Mike Gillislee, RB Florida
Home run hitting RB/speed back
121. Indianapolis – Jonathan Franklin RB UCLA
*Stock up, very good Combine.
122. Green Bay – Sio Moore OLB Connecticut
Stock up, good Senior Bowl, Great
Combine
123. Seattle –Alvin Bailey G Arkansas
Could go in the 2nd/3rd round
124. Houston – Everett Dawkins, DT Florida State
125. Denver – Brian Winters, OT/G Kent State
126. Tampa Bay – Bacarri Rambo FS Georgia
Playmaker/ball hawk
127. Atlanta – Ryan Swope WR Texas A&M
Stock up (6’1, 205). Great Combine, 2nd round buzz.
128. San Francisco - Travis Kelce TE Cincinnati
Stock up for play, Stock down for off the field issues. Scout called him a train wreck. He has round 1 talent.
129. Baltimore – Jackson Jeffcoat DE/OLB Texas
130. Baltimore (comp) Cornelius Washington DE/OLB Georgia
Stock up, great combine. Tape is not great but the talent is there.
131. San Francisco (comp) Denard Robinson WR/KR Michigan
Former QB, learning the WR
position. Better combine than I
expected, clearly putting in the work.
132. Detroit (comp) Kenny Stills WR Oklahoma
Stock up
133. Atlanta (comp) Carrington Byndom CB Texas
Round 5
134. Kansas City –Shamarko Thomas SS Syracuse
Stock up: Great Combine, physical
freak. Big hitting safety in the mold of
Bob Sanders. He’s overcome a lot in his
personal life (lost both parents during college and now cares for his 5
siblings). Mature beyond his years, he’s
going to be a success story in the NFL.
*Move up
135. Jacksonville - Cyril Richardson G/OT Baylor
136. Philadelphia - Matt Scott QB Arizona
*Stock up. Interesting
QB, who could be looked at as read option project QB.
137. Detroit - Dwayne Gratz CB Connecticut
Stock up, great combine.
138. Seattle (Oakland) – Jawan Jamison RB Rutgers
*Stock down: change of pace back. Poor combine
139. Cleveland - Zeke Motta FS Notre Dame
Stock down, speed questions
140. Arizona – David Quessenberry, OT/G/C San Jose State
Stock up, versatile/interior O-Line
141. New York Jets - Xavier Nixon, OT Florida
Raw but very talented O-Tackle prospect.
142. Tennessee – Joseph Randle RB Oklahoma State
Stock down (6’0, 200).
143. Buffalo –Devin Taylor DE South Carolina
Underrated DE, overshadowed by next year’s top pick J.
Clowney. *Stock up, Combine
144. New Orleans - Chase Thomas OLB Stanford
Stock down, non-stop motor.
Limited athletic ability but makes plays.
145. San Diego – Stepfan Taylor RB Stanford
Stock down after the Combine (5’9, 216).
146. Miami - Josh Boyd DT Mississippi State
147. Tampa Bay - Tharold Simon CB LSU

148. Carolina - Josh Boyce WR TCU
149. St. Louis – Ryan Otten TE San Jose State
Stock up
150. Pittsburgh –Kiko Alonso ILB Oregon
151. Dallas – Levine Toilolo TE Stanford

Round
6
169. Jacksonville Jaguars - Montori Hughes NT/DT Tennessee-Martin
170. Kansas City Chiefs - Zac Dysert QB Miami Ohio
