Updated 2016 Draft - Top 150 Big Board with Notes - Gored49

It has taken me a long time to watch games for the 2016 draft (many hours not including watching during the CFB season) but i'm finally able to post my yearly big board for all those kind enough to read. Just like every year, these are my notes and rankings based on what I see in the games and not notes from other people. Please feel free to argue with me and let me know if there are others you think belong in the 150 and I can go back and watch some more games and see if I agree. I'll also try to answer all questions too

This year I am going to break my board and my notes up into two posts to make it easier to read.

Part 1: The top 150 summary with niner slots highlighted. This is in order of best player available and not how I think the niners should draft.

Part 2: Notes on why I ranked the player where I did -

Rank Name Position Notes
1. - Myles Jack - OLB/MLB/ILB - Superior quickness, speed and explosion for a linebacker. Plays well in space and even frequently used to cover the deep field. Shows power to rush the passer and get off blocks.

2. - Laremy Tunsil - OT - Very smooth. He makes it look effortless at times. His timing and technique were second to none. There were several times he would knock the rusher straight on their back because of skill and not power - simply knocking people off balance when taking bad angles or beating them to the point of attack.

3. - Jalen Ramsey - CB - Excellent press cover skills. Shows strength and quickness to disrupt the initial route. Great recovery speed. Is very physical and will probably get his fair share of holding calls after 5 yards because he is so aggressive. Needs a creative d coordinator that will let him blitz off the edge frequently. Shows great speed and timing in his blitz.

4. - Jared Goff - QB - NFL starting QB qualities: keeps his eyes downfield; glides in the pocket; shows an ability to forget bad previous plays and an arm to make all the necessary throws.

5. - Joey Bosa - OLB/DE - Consistently collapses the pocket. Excels in all his reponsibilities - rushing the passer, stopping the run and taking on blockers for others on his team to make plays. Numbers dipped last season but he was continually disruptive and you could tell defenses were aware of where he was each play.

6. - DeForest Buckner - DE - An overwhelming combination of quickness (often being the first out of his stance) and power. For such a big guy he was frequently able to weave through blockers. Goes over, under and through defenders showing multiple ways of disrupting entire plays. Solid in both run and pass defense.

7. - Ezekiel Elliot - RB - Everything you want in an rb: speed; quickness; power; an attitude that says he is going to run by a defender or punish him if they try to tackle him. He also displays good receiving hands for a back. He can play every down.

8. - Ronnie Stanley - OT - Fast get off and quick into his back pedal. Uses his long arms efficiently. Extends his arms with power and frequently prevents the attacker from getting into his chest.

9. - Jonathon Bullard - DE/DT - He was a difference maker and tone setter for the Florida defense. Anytime he was out for a breather or injured the run and pass game both noticeably suffered. He consistently gets a push and plays more athletically than his frame looks.

10. - Sheldon Rankins - DE/DT - A beast both in the pass and run game. He is quick for his massive size. He can change directions quickly and loop inside or outside. Shows effort to chase much smaller players in the open field.

11. - Vernon Hargreaves III - CB - Can play both man and zone. Shorter than ideal but his agression makes up for a lot of that. He is not afraid to mix it up with big receivers and has good timing to poke away the ball in the air. Gives up the comeback routes too frequently because he is afraid to get beat deep - gives too much cushion.

12. - Josh Doctson - WR - Great high point skills and excellent at tracking the ball in the air. Shows speed and strength. Displays quickness when having to run across the middle and slant patterns. Does not have elite stop and go accelleration - good enough off the line though.

13. - Emmanuel Ogbah - DE/OLB - Flashes like Demarcus Ware with not as much bend. One of the most forceful rushers in the draft. Quick get off. Has not reached his ceiling yet.

14. - Laquan Treadwell - WR - Great anticipation and ability to high point the ball. His quickness in and out of routes is not elite.

15. - Shaq Lawson - OLB/DE - Sets the edge well and rarely gets pushed back. Shows a variety of moves - bull rush, spin move, etc - but the moves need refinement and power seems to be his main strength while trying to turn the corner.

16. - Carson Wentz - QB - An NFL caliber arm. Has good timing on his throws outside the hash marks which most young qbs struggle with.

17. - Robert Nkemdiche - DT - Questionable awareness. He was tremendous at beating his man with either a quicker first step or more power but then he wasn't aware of where the ball was. Several big plays came by beating his man and then having the ball carrier right in front of him.

18. - Kevin Dodd - OLB/DE - Has great length but would like to see more power. Not as football smart as teammate Lawson and can get washed out of plays due to bad angles in the run game. His pash rush is slowed because he watches and reacts versus instincts. If coached up well then he could be a force.

19. - Corey Coleman - WR - Great body control and stop and start acceleration. Will go up to make the difficult cathes. He is an aggressive competitor. Plays bigger than his size.

20. - Noah Spence - DE/OLB - A fast get off and an ability to turn the corner. Sometimes relies too much on speed and less on power and can be pushed away from the play.

21. - Jarran Reed - DT - Often double-teamed and not pushed back. He is stout at the point of attack and clogs running lanes. Athletic enough to chase runners in short bursts but very little long speed. Will get 3-4 sacks a season in the NFL through persistence and helping to collapse the pocket.

22. - Andrew Billings - DT - Powerful and more agile than he looks for his squatty frame. Has a mean streak (temper may get him into trouble also) and has strong hands to violently throw blockers off of him. I have concerns about his limited move set - seems like a bull rush 90% of the time. Additionally, his center of gravity can be questionable several plays a game. He will lean too far forward to get that pass rush push but smarter line men can easily throw him off balance and throw him flat on his face.

23. - Tyler Boyd - WR - Smooth in his movements. Runs faster than timed speed while watching him. Soft hands… almost seems like the ball glides into his possession.

24. - Jaylon Smith - OLB/MLB - Ranking pre-injury. I see more Danny Trevaithan and less Patrick Willis. His game is about speed and quickness and not as much force - though he still shows more than adequate strength. Bigger blockers were able to disrupt him more often than expected for a potential top 10 pick. Seems more comfortable in making the play past the line of scrimmage than blowing up blocks and run plays behind the line. Post injury - who knows if he is even draftable (Bad Lattimore fears).

25. - Darron Lee - OLB - Exceptional athlete with great pursuit skills. Sure tackler that looks to wrap up versus delivering the big hit. Will be an option to occassionally blitz off the edge because of his speed but not enough power to break away if locked up. Best used as an 4-3 OLB.

26. - Mackensie Alexander - CB - A plug and play nickel corner on day one. He has the ability to shadow receivers and play zone. Good agility and quickly flips his hips when changing direction. Size is a concern but mentally he is not afraid to play bigger. Has the potential to develop into an outside corner but most likely not in a press coverage defensive scheme.

27. - Vernon Butler - DT - Every time I would watch another player against Louisianna Tech, Butler would show up frequently disrupting plays and making it hard to evaluate other players. You could tell teams would focus on him and he would still beat double teams or teams would run away from his side. He is able to get off the snap quickly and then able to overpower blockers.

28. - Reggie Ragland - MLB - A solid but not flashy defender. He will make all the tackles and be in the right position but defenses are not going to plan around him. Can play sideline to sideline in the run game but will struggle if asked to cover faster TE's and receivers running crossing patterns. Able to help in the pass rush game showing adequate strength and timing when blitzing.

29. - Will Fuller - WR - Great speed and fluid movements. Fits the D. Jackson mold. Small hands and drops are red flags.

30. - Leonard Floyd - OLB - Great speed and body control when turning the corner and coming off the edge. Showed the ability to blitz inside with a quick first step - even lining up in the mlb position and making plays. Would like to see more power and better use of his hands.

31. - Paxton Lynch - QB - Reminds me of a mix of Kaepernick (with a faster release) and Cutler. Has a great arm and makes his throws look effortless when he knows where he is going with the ball. Able to even throw with velocity and accuracy with a poor base or when flushed from the pocket. Was too often a one read passer and forced the throws when tight coverage on his first read. Athletic for his size.

32. - Jack Conklin - OT - Has a smooth back pedal and strong hands to keep rushers at bay. Not as strong in the run game. Is a very willing blocker during runs but better at holding his ground than powering defenders out of the play.

33. - Ryan Kelly - C - Quick and powerful out of his stance. He is locking to impose his will and get piece of an offender on every play.

34. - A'Shawn Robinson - DT - Great run defender. Never moved backwards and often double or triple teamed. Not quick off the snap and not going to provide much pass rush. Will do the work for others to get to the qb.

35. - Shon Coleman - OT - Quick first step to get into position for run blocks. Strong hands.

36. - Kenny Clark - DT/DE - Very stout at the point of attack and is able to slide towards the action while not being pushed away from the play because he is constantly keeping his eyes down the field and watching the play develop. Strong hands and arms - even reaching and disrupting ball carriers while double teamed. I question if he is able to lose some wait and play the 3-4 DE position. He is shorter but looks to have a similar body type and move set to Malik Jackson if he were to slim down about 10-15 pounds.

37. - Will Redmond - CB - Ranking without injury. Fast and quick feet. Fast back pedal and able to shift directions quickly. Good ability to diagnose a play and know when, and willing, to dive into a rush play. Has the speed to keep up with receivers on deep patterns.

38. - Michael Thomas - WR - He is willing to make the difficult catch. Shows good but not great speed. His greatest strength is strong hands and yards after the catch ability. Shows strength and agility to break tackles. Best when he can get an arm on a db and shove them off him.

39. - Derrick Henry - RB - Cut and go runner with power and speed. Has the strength to break tackles and fast enough to take it to the house if seeing a clear lane. Not a shifty runner but not really required with his vision and power. Wear and tear is a concern.

40. - Karl Joseph - S - Would be higher rated if he had better size. He flies over the field. It looks like the d coordinator gave him a lot of freelancing ability because he would move all over the formation and make plays all over the field. He is quick, aggressive and fearless.

41. - Jason Spriggs - OT - Very athletic and shows power but is inconsistent. At times he makes major mental blunders or is slow to react and looks like a statue the offense is running by. He has the tools to be a really good left tackle in the league but he will need time to develop.

42. - Chris Jones - DT - Strong defender with good agility for his size. He shows strong hands and good side to side movement skills - splits around blockers or uses his powerful arms to shed blocks. Plays too high at times which slows his initial rush. Shows run stuffing and pocket collapsing potential.

43. - Shilique Calhoun - DE/OLB - Reminds me of Manny Lawson. Shows speed, effort and has good length. Want to see him put on more bulk while maintaining his speed. Not aggressive enough with his hands to tear away from linemen when locked up.

44. - Vadal Alexander - OG - Very solid base with a powerful lower body. He can get low and lock rushers up. Strong arms and good hand placement. Moves very well for his size. Even probably able to play RT tackle in a pinch in the pros.

45. - Javon Hargrave - DT - Dominated lesser competition but has all the tools to replicate with better competition. Shows fantastic burst when coming off the line and uses his hands to swim through defenders or completely knock them off balance. Has agile feet for a man his size.

46. - Deion Jones - ILB/OLB - Has good quickness and awareness. He is quick to fill running lanes and can also be used in pass coverage on crossing patterns and covering tight ends in the middle of the field. He is able to turn his hips faster than most men his size which allows him to react quickly in the pass game or when he needs to change direction quickly. Offers the ability to start immediately on special teams. Shows a weakness in the red zone and playing too safe - taking bad angles and hesitating.

47. - Connor Cook - QB - I see Tony Romo in his game. His throws (though not out as quick) look like Romo and he even has that Romo ability to make great throws and then bone headed ones. He is willing to throw deep and even places passes on target while out of the pocket and poor footwork. Showed the ability to drop passes into small spaces but not on a rope.

48. - Kendall Fuller - CB - Shows great aggression and fights for the ball while in the air. Gets beat too often - possibly trying too hard to make a play and read the route.

49. - Austin Johnson - DT - Has a very good anchor. Mostly a run stuffer and lane clogger. Rarely pushed away from his responsibilities. Would draft for immediate run support but not pass rush ability. Pass rush may develop in the pros because he shows a lot of effort and ability to move quickly in the box.

50. - Josh Garnett - OG - Strong, smart and good reaction skills. Shows all the ability to become a starting guard quickly in the nfl. Good hand placement, ability to bend his knees and get low in his stance, and smart knowing when to pass rushers off. More often content on locking his man up versus getting him to the ground or driving him back.

51. - Eli Apple - CB - Reacts to WR route versus reading the route. Willing tackler but not reliable - misses way too many tackles often as a result of timing or dipping his head. Good speed and agility.

52. - Jerald Hawkins - OT - Shows tremendous potential as a pass blocker with his long arms, smooth back pedal and awareness. While he gets to his man quickly in the run game he does not show that extra power and jolt. Needs to develop a little extra lower body strength.

53. - Taylor Decker - OT - Powerful man with heavy hands. His punch and strength disrupts rushers and looks like he is not satisfied unless he is grinding a guy to the ground. Looks slow and lumbering out of his stance. He is able to make up for it with his power and taking good angles but that will not translate well in the pros. Reminds me of Rob Havenstein.

54. - Cody Whitehair - OG - He may be able to stick with tackle on the right side in a pinch but looks like a future starting guard. He is powerful but looks very stiff. Has trouble getting low which will allow quick edge rushers to get around and underneath him. Shows strong hands and a powerful punch that would better suit in at guard.

55. - Nick Martin - G - A smart guard that knows his assignments. He is rarely ever looking around for a person to block. Knows when to pass a guy off and get to his spot. Athletic enough to pull and get out on screens. Has a strong base and is more effective at sliding his man away from the play versus shoving the pile back.

56. - Bronson Kaufisi - DT/DE - This guy is Henry Anderson-lite to me. He flashes in both the run and pass game. He isn't the quickest but he is stout and disruptive while showing burst in small spaces. He is a 4 to 5 sack a season candidate that will consistently help seal running lanes.

57. - Artie Burns - CB - Good body control for his size. Has a long frame allowing him to extra room to make up space and recover when he gets beat on a move. Willing supporter in the run game. Not as comfortable in the middle field and will need time to develop. Will need to start on the outside in nickel packages if a corner moves inside.

58. - William Jackson III - CB - Great size and long speed. Very comfortable pressing and mirroring receivers along the sidelines. If he is thinking about his movement then he is quick and follows the routes. His problem comes when he has to react quickly. He doesn't have the agility to shift on a dime and gave up big plays when asked to. Good but not great timing when contesting jump balls - left early too often but size and athleticism made up it. Dips his head too often when making open field tackles - an injury waiting to happen if not corrected.

59. - Tyler Ervin - RB - Quickness and burst through the hole. Has a great top end gear while running. Good vision to make a quick cut and go. Not just a dancer looking to get outside to run. He is able to see the hole between the tackle and able to get his extra yards just by beating everyone to the point of attack with his speed. Also offers versatility in the receiving and return games. With a little extra muscle, I see his ceiling as a shorter Jamaal Charles.

60. - Keyarris Garrett - WR - Great size and puts that size to good use. Has really good long speed but can be a little stiff in the starting his run. Still quick enough to run slants and crossing routes. Strength in getting up field and out jumping dbs - really good at timing the deep ball and catching the ball at the highest point. He ran limited routes in college but has tremendous potential. He can do it all for a future number 1 if he develops.

61. - Braxton Miller - WR/RB - Exceptional all around athlete. I have him pegged as a gadget player beyond ever being a full time outside or slot WR. Will make huge plays in his career after getting carries (reverses, jet sweepts, etc) and also some long catches. I question his hands. They are good but not naturally soft.

62. - Adolphus Washington - DT - Big, powerful and slow. Run stuffing machine but pass rush was lacking. Ohio St stuck him on the edge frequently but he mostly shut down running lanes or cleaned up plays after more talented players disrupted the pocket. Doesn't have great agility or a quick get off. A great anchor and really gets pushed back.

63. - Carl Nassib - DE - Good strength. Shows a powerfull bull rush if he gets a step on the blocker. Adequate quickness in a small confined area. Once the field opens up he does not have the speed or agility to chase and make open field tackles. Great motor and attitude.

64. - Tyvis Powell - S - While watching the more name worthy players, Powell kept showing up in the games. He may not have always been making splashy plays but he had a nose for getting involved and being where the action was. Aggressive and plays until the whistle.

65. - Darian Thompson - FS - Good size and movement. More of a modern safety. Good at playing coverage near the line of scrimmage and reading passes in the deep field. Doesn't look to lay the wood and more comfortable making the sure tackle. Good enough quickness to cover bigger receivers and tight ends but not good enough for the shiftier receivers.

66. - Paul Perkins - RB - A shifty and fast running back. Shows the ability to get outside and outrun defenders in the open field. His ability to go side to side quickly leaves defenders off balance. Not as powerful between the tackles.

67. - Kenneth Dixon - RB - Good speed, agility and balance. Not very big but a determined runner that tries to break tackles and keeps his feet moving - still able to slip tackles with his quickness and ability to get low and keep his balance. Good vision to see an opening and take off. Willing pass blocker.

68. - Tyler Higbee - TE - I think he has the most potential to be a receiving threat as a te. He shows the ability to make plays inside and outside the hashmarks. Shows soft and powerful hands. He is able to get up and high point a pass, catch and run while breaking tackles and willing to put is body on the line to make difficult catches. Blocking is average but he shows the competitive fire to get better as a blocker.

69. - Hunter Henry - TE - He is going to be more of a check down TE versus a vertical stretcher with sticky NFL coverage and faster line backers. He shows good hands and willingness to make the difficult catch in traffic but not enough quickness for the faster line backers and larger safeties.

70. - Leonte Carroo - WR - Able to be used in multiple WR spots. At his best when crossing through the field or playing in the middle of the hash marks and looking for the soft spot in the defense. Able to shift directions quickly and displays strong hands when making the catch while getting smacked.

71. - Sterling Shepard - WR - Great body control and timing. Made some extremely difficult catches - did have some bad drops though but those seemed to be due often to him thinking about his next step or move after the catch. A reliable but not explosive receiver. Ceiling is Jarvis Landry with his role probably being a short distance chain mover.

72. - CJ Prosise - RB - He reminds me of Le'Veon Bell. He shows speed and power. Technique and vision are still works in progress but he looks like he has all the tools to develop into a starting RB with proper coaching and experience.

73. - Josh Perry - ILB/OLB - Scheme versatile. Will fit as 4-3 olb or inside in a 3-4. Shows quickness and power. Durable and good enough size to take on blocks. Really good athlete but not elite tracking speed.

74. - Vonn Bell - S - More willing to let others make the play on the team and just be an observer near the play. Shows quickness and smarts to be around the play where it is developing but doesn't show that nastiness to stick his nose in and lay a hit to remember.

75. - Jeremy Cash - S - More of a nickel safety or line of scrimmage safety versus a deep field safety. Looks to lay the hard hit on the carrier. Plays bigger than he looks.

76. - Jack Allen - C - Nasty. This guy is a tone setter on the line. He is going to draw several penalties in his career but he is going to be the first to get up and protect his qb. He is powerful but not very quick. He gets upright too often and has to wrestle his man. Still shows tremendous strength even when not using great technique. Will need to play in a power run scheme or one that doesn't ask him to do too much.

77. - Kamalei Correa - OLB - Good timing and explosion through small holes. Excelled at splitting through the guard and tackle. Quick and flexible but power isn't always evident in his game. Neutralized by big and fast linemen. Would like to see a better variety of moves instead of relying on just his natural talent. I'm afraid his floor is another Shea Mcclellin.

78. - Jalen Mills - CB - To me he is more of a corner than a safety. He doesn't patrol the field and space as well as covering players. When tasked with covering he is able to read routes and react quickly. He closes quickly to make the tackle on his assignment. Not as effective tackling in the open field and tends to play hesitant afraid he is the last line of defense.

79. - Christian Westerman - OG - Is strong and stout. Quick out of his stance. Smart player knowing to get to his point of attack quickly. His hands and technique are very impressive. He has fast hands and constantly hand fights like a sumo wrestler if he doesn't immediately lock on to disrupt and frustrate defenders. May need to add weight to generate more force because a movement and zone blocking scheme would not best utilize his skills.

80. - Germain Ifedi - OT - Good athleticism and good feet for a man his size. I really question his hands and arm usage. He let too many people get to his chest where he would either bear hug them or try and push them off. Too many times offenders were able to swipe away his arms and make a play on the ball. If he is coarched up better than he has the potential to develop to a quality starter with his other traits. If his hand problems remain then he will be a bust.

81. - Su'a Cravens - OLB - Looks best as a 4-3 OLB. He is able to blitz from the outside, times his jumps and uses his long arms to swat down passes to the flat, strong enough to fend off blockers and make the tackle at the line and agile and flexible in his cuts to cover receivers and tight ends. Could be used in either a Deonne Buchannon role or safety role but doesn't seem like the best use of his skills.

82. - Kentrell Brothers - ILB - Smart and aggressive. He can set the tone and command a defense. Does everything well while not being explosive in one particular area. He is smart enough to diagnose plays and close running lanes or attack runners in the back field, aggressive enough to attack the ball on short passes and good timing when blitzing the a gap. His sideline speed is questionable and usually makes up for it with good angles.

83. - Alex Collins - RB - Plays bigger than his size and with a chip on his shoulder. Nimble enough to make tacklers miss if they take a bad angle but not quick enough to make miss if straight up.

84. - Xavien Howard - CB - Looks smaller than his listed size and shielded from the ball frequently by bigger receivers. Not great at tracking the ball in the air on sideline and fade passes. Shows good tracking and mirroring skills when given time to follow a WR and use his speed. Not as good of anticipation when having to react to quick routes.

85. - Pharoh Cooper - WR - Quick hitting receiver that plays bigger than just a slot receiver. Able to make plays in the short and long game. A swiss army knife - Has the floor of Bruce Ellington and the ceiling of a Edelman type player.

86. - Jerell Adams - TE - A much better receiver than he is a blocker. Made several difficult catches in traffic and on balls poorly placed with bad qb play. Uses his hands to pluck balls from the air instead of letting them come to him. Able to use his size to body up and get open in the middle of the field. Good size and speed to break tackles after the catch. His routes are a little sloppy.

87. - Keanu Neal - S - He has the skills of a traditional strong safety and will be best suited to play the role of lane filler and attacking the line of scrimmage. He has the awareness and reaction timing to close running lanes quickly. He also shows the power to lay powerful hits on runners. Still has the speed to not be a complete liability if only tasked with covering the deep field on occassion and offering support in pass coverage versus one on one coverage.

88. - Eric Murray - CB - A cb that shows great physicallity and technique. He excels at sideline coverage using his body to block out receivers on the sideline which effectively negates their ability to make uncontested and easy catches. Not as great in the open field but still shows really good athleticism and quickness to develop an all around skill set in the pro game.

89. - Kei'Varae Russell - CB - Ranking based on games. He is an aggressive corner that can play tight or off coverage. Able to keep with receivers all around the field and make plays on the ball - timing his dives and jumps to intercept or sway away passes. He can stay with speedy receivers on the deep ball but sometimes a slight step behind and need to make a play on the receiver instead of the ball. He is able to make up for his lack of elite speed by analyzing the route and getting a jump on the receiver.

90. - Connor Mcgovern - OT/OG - The name of his game is power. Will best be played at RT or OG because suddeness and agility are not his best traits. Also, would prefer longer arms. Has great functional strength and makes it look effortless once he has a guy in his grasp. He was rarely pushed back in battles of strength. Will want to see him use his legs move when getting low and drive blocking in transition to guard.

91. - Christian Hackenberg - QB - If he could have all the time he needed to go through progressions and wait for receivers to get open then he would be a really good qb. The problem is that isn't the real world. He holds the ball too long (receivers were not great except for Robinson and trouble if he was locked up) and the oline didn't give him enough time to not adjust quickly. On the plus side, he showed the ability to make difficult throws and find tiny openings but it wasn't frequent enough.

92. - Denver Kirkland - OG - Power and surprising quickness when running straight up field to block. Gets to the second level and blocks until the whistle. Not great lateral movement and flexibility in turning his body. Looked confused at times on an island not knowing who to block and then slow getting his hands on a body. His best position will be develops as a mauling power guard in the pros.

93. - Spencer Drango - OT/OG - This guy is a rock once he is locked into his man. Shows the ability to get low and push his man back in the run game. He has questionable speed when back pedaling and explosion out of his stance. Will probably need to play RT or guard in the pros.

94. - Charone Peake - WR - Big and well built receiver with mostly reliable hands - dropped some easy passes he should have caught possible due to fear of getting hit. Looks a little Demaryius Thomas-esque when taking screen passes up the field.

95. - Austin Hooper - TE - Early on he is going to be more valuable as a blocker than a receiver as a tight end. He is a willing and smart blocker - knowing when to seal the edge or get upfield and set his block. His route running is choppy. He is able to get open using his body and quickness but doesn't show a lot of wiggle and aggressiveness getting open. He made it too easy for defenders to run with him and negate his routes.

96. - Devontae Booker - RB - All around rb. He can catch, break tackles, run inside and outside and pass block. Doesn't show elite speed or lateral agility but he makes up for it with his vision and ability to take good angles to fall forward and get that extra yard or two.

97. - Demarcus Robinson - WR - Rank based on games and not personality. Shows the ability to make the difficult catch in traffic or along the sideline. Great combination of speed and quickness. His play can be very lazy at times. You can visibly see him give up on bad throws, make weak attempts at blocking or just not run his full route when he knows the pass isn't coming his way.

98. - Rashard Higgins - WR - His route running is very consistent. The setup looks the same and he is decisive in his movements. Shows the ability to pluck balls out of the air. Doesn't show a lot of explosion and yards after the catch ability.

99. - Landon Turner - OG - A powerful blocker but a bit slow in his movements. Will need to play in a power running scheme. Able to still get out of his stance quick enough and constantly keeps his legs moving to push the pile.

100. - Deiondre' Hall - CB/S - Long and lean cornerback. Comfortable in using those long arms to disrupt routes. Questionable long speed and change of direction. Will need help over the top which brings up questions if he is better suited for a safety position.

101. - Cardale Jones - QB - Decent speed for his size and a live arm. Is not decisive enough and took the ball and ran too often. Shows that he can throw with touch but slightly inaccurate. Has all the raw materials.

102. - Yannick Ngakoue - OLB - Inconsistent. In one game he can look like a dominant rusher with strong hands swatting away guards and tackles and then then look completely washed out on the next play. Size for the NFL looks questionable. He seems too skinny and needs to put on weight to consistently battle pro tackles.

103. - Antonio Morrisson - MLB - He plays without a regard for his own body. He is flying around all over the field. Unfortunately, his aggression will need to be tampered in the pros to protect him from injury and also because it resulted in a few missed tackles and bad reads. Athletically, he is more quick than fast but shows flexibility to change direction effectively and cover all over the field.

104. - Evan Boehm - C - Stout and consistent. He is a grinder and works his man down. His shorter frame and strength make it hard for him to be knocked back - has a good anchor and low center of gravity. Doesn't have long arms and great quickness so giving him small space to work with when pass blocking will be best.

105. - Kyle Murphy - OT - Has the potential to be a quality RT. He is powerful and gets into position quickly. His footwork is not very smooth though and he does not look extremely agile.

106. - Sheldon Day - DE/DT - Looks better in space than inside. Good enough speed to get around slower guards and tackles. Not as powerful as he looks and shows more effectiveness with his movement than powering through blockers. Solid at holding his ground and not being pushed back. Able to seal the edge.

107. - Tyler Matakevich - MLB - The inevitable Chris Borland comparison - a good player without elite measurables. It is evident in games that he is well prepared and very smart at diagnosing plays - often being at a spot before a running back or receiver on the check down. Can that translate in the NFL where being smarter may not make up for a player flat out beating you because he is bigger and faster? He should still be able to succeed in a 3-4 inside where is tasked with taking on blocks, playing zone coverage and disrupting running plays.

108. - Scoobie Wright - MLB - Really good tackler and good awareness. Lacks agility and slow long speed. Range should be limited in the open field. Aggressive competitor.

109. - Alex Mccalister - DE - Long and skinny. He is able to turn the corner with speed and shows really good flexibility getting around and under tackles. Reminds me of Randy Gregory. Will need to start off as a pass rush specialist because he isn't strong enough against the run yet.

110. - Ronald Blair - DE - Flashes with his short area quickness and initial burst off the line of scrimmage. Does not have great long speed and doesn't look good when chasing players in the open field. Will need to be used in passing plays as a pocket disruptor until he get more powerful and develops a better anchor to hold his position in the run game.

111. - Graham Glascow - OG/C - Shows a mean streak. He makes sure he plays until the final whistle - noticeable by how often he is on the ground… setting that extra cut block or doing what he can to slam his man to the ground. Shows strength and quickness. A little stiff when upright but has enough strength to recover if not tasked with blocking too long.

112. - Le'Raven Clark - OT/OG - Looks slow and disinterested at times. Has monsterous size but is going to need to be constantly worked and a coach on his case. Shows flashes when he finally shows the ability to get out of his stance and use his long arms to keep defenders from getting around or underneath him. More comfortable if the play is in front of him. Looks lost if he has to adjust his plan of attack.

113. - Tajae Sharpe - WR - Tall, lean and has some wiggle in his moves. Not a burner and didn't win as many contested throws as would be expected with his frame. Gets most of his separation off the line and should've had more catches but his qb play was poor and they were slow to recognize him winning off the line or didn't get the ball too him early enough allowing the db to recover.

114. - Roger Lewis - WR - A solid receiver with good all aroung traits. Has good size, speed, reliable hands and puts in the effort to make the difficult catches. Good technique to set up dbs. He gets open on deep balls more on selling his routes than blazing speed. Difficult to jam at the line with his intelligence. He just finds a way to get open.

115. - Victor Ochi - DE/OLB - Springs out of his stance with speed and force. He is relentless in pursuit and keeps his hands working to throw his blocker off balance.

116. - Ricardo Louis - WR - Built solidly - tall and athletic. Has really good speed for his size. Route running needs refinement but he has the tools to come in and play a role similar to Ted Ginn. He can run sweeps and get open deep. He will also have the occassional bad drop like Ginn.

117. - Kyler Fackrell - OLB - His strength is in his versatility more than being tremendous at one thing. He has good flexibility and movement for his size to cover the flat and intermediate passes, strong enough to set the edge in the run game and some explosion to rush the passer. Does not consistently show the ability to rush the passer though. He is locked up too often and doesn't have elite burst or bend off the line. He will need to be used as a run stuffing OLB early in his career until he further develops as a pass rusher. Looks like he has room to gain weight/muscle.

118. - Nick Vannett - TE - He can do it all as a TE. He can move all over the line to block and shows the short area quickness to get open in the short receiving game. He will make his initial impact in goal line offenses - blocking for runners and flaring out for the occassional td catch.

119. - DeAndre Houston-Carson - FS - Used more often to cover the deep field than run support. Wasn't a safety that was reading and disrupting running plays. More of a chase and tackle safety. Questionable aggression - got lost in the wash too often or missed a tackle. Explosive when breaking on the ball.

120. - Shawn Oakman - DE - He looks way better exploding out of his stance than when he is standing up and moving. He is able to get off the line quickly and get to his point of attack quickly using his long arms to keep blocker off him. Once he is upright he is essentially neutralized. He is very stiff and doesn't show good change of direction speed. Either he improves his awareness in the pro game which helps his anticipation and movement or he will be a one trick pony and easily washed out of the play.

121. - Charles Tapper - DE - His athletic numbers do not match his in game play speed. He is slow out of his stance and doesn't consistently show power when taking on less athletic linemen. Needs to improve his hand use and develop a swim move to utilize his size and speed.

122. - Dominique Alexander - MLB - Has good agility and quickness but smaller stature. He isn't a powerful tackler and needs to wrap up because of his smaller size but he gets to the ball quickly. Relies more on reaction speed than play anticipation.

123. - Cyrus Jones - CB - Good receiver mirroring skills. He is more quick than fast. Will probably be limited to the slot. While he is able to stick in a receivers back pocket, his timing and awareness are not great to bat away contested or deep passes - flagged too often for not turning to make a play on the ball at the right time. Offers decent punt return skills.

124. - De'Vondre Campbell - OLB/MLB - Has raw natural talent that needs to be further developed. He shows power in his tackles, quick movement skills and ability to run sideline to sideline and make tackles. He has questionable reactionary skills and play diagnosis ability. He needs to be coached up more. Has speed and power to occassionally rush the passer but needs to develop more moves and better use of his hands. Good size to hold up in the pro game as a linebacker.

125. - Dak Prescott - QB - Very limited wow factor plays while throwing the ball in college. Played very well in the system with short smart passes and runs when called or needed. Didn't consistently show great timing with throws and an ability to put passes into tight windows. Throws looked more thought through than natural.

126. - Tyler Johnstone - OT - He looked heavy footed last season and ended up off balance or slipping on the ground. His injury probably played into issues with his foot work but he did show that he had strong hands and strong arms - locking up and not releasing rushers. Though not very agile in his movements, he showed good timing and intelligence to take proper angles to disrupt edge rushers. Wasn't able to drive back defenders in the run game. Was that a byproduct of getting his lower body strength back?

127. - Aaron Burbridge - WR - Willing to make plays all over the field and sacrifice his body either in coverage or diving to the ground. Misses too many difficult catches that he needs to make though. Doesn't have the strength to power through stronger defensive backs. Good awareness to find the soft spot in zone coverage. Not a burner.

128. - Harlan Miller - CB - At his best playing press. Shows good technique while trying to jam and disrupt routes. Will hit the receiver and adjust quickly to the route. Aggressive in coverage. Lacks long speed and will need to cover slower receivers or have help over the top.

129. - Joe Haeg - OT/OG - Hustle is the first thing that comes to mind with Haeg. He is running all over the field blocking and playing until the whistle. He is quick for a tackle and shows great athelticsm. Very good against speed rushers because he has the quickness to neutralize them. He struggles greatly with power rushers and the bull rush if they get a chance to get a running start against him. Played against weaker competition so he will be a liability in the pros until he increases functional strength and improves his base.

130. - Jonathan Williams - RB - Great balance and center of gravity. Good burst and quick feet. He tends to dance too much before he decides to make his move and will probably have his fair share of tackles for loss in the pros until he plays more decisively. He still offers solid potential because he is able to get small and break tackles with him getting low and using power to free himself from bigger players that go too high.

131. - Kenyan Drake - RB - Good all around weapon. Had an injury but his hands don't look natural when catching the ball. Can still catch and make plays but he will have some bad drops. Good acceleration. Adds a bonus as a quick and decisive returner.

132. - Zack Sanchez - CB - Too often played soft in coverage and gave too much space. Lacks strength to play close to the line. He is quick to close on the tackle. Shows quickness and speed to undercut routes. Fiesty and willing to throw his body into a tackle but stronger receivers and tight ends were able to shed him with stronger and longer arms.

133. - Joe Schobert - OLB - Productive but not spectacular. Finds a way to get to the ball but doesn't tend to be through and sophisticated moves or explosive movements. His strength lies in his hand work and slapping away weaker grips or wiggling free from blockers with forceful lateral movement. Not sure he is athletic enough to be a 3/4 olb or 4/3 de. Can he switch to the inside in a 3/4?

134. - Austin Blythe - C - Short and squatty. Shows good strength and leverage when moving blockers. Functional but not great athlete.

135. - Hassan Ridgeway - DT - When he has good pad level, he can take on double teams and hold the point or break through single blocks. His problem is he gets too high easily and he doesn't show strong arms or quick area burst to break free once locked up.

136. - Maliek Collins - DT - I see a one trick pony in the pro game. He shows flashes of pass rush potential and disrupting the quarterback but gets washed out of run plays and stuffed at the line of scrimmage way too often. On the Nebraska d-line, he either consistently beat all of his team mates out of his stance and deep into the backfield or we was the one immediately knocked out of a play or pushed the farthest back. His talent is getting out of his stance quickly and shooting the gap while swimming through blockers. He needs to gain more strength and develop better balance to have a better anchor when he doesn't immediately win.

137. - Matt Ioannidis - DT - Good use of leverage and hustle. Able to launch off his blocks and get low to initially disrupt the play. Effort greater than elite natural talent and strength.

138. - Mike Thomas - WR - Southern Miss. His strength is outworking the db. He is able to work himself free when plays break down and works back to the ball when his qb needs help. Not a sudden receiver or speedster but has reliable hands and catches away from his body. His ceiling is a solid possession receiver that is smart and keeps grinding.

139. - Kenny Lawler - WR - Tall, lanky receiver with ok speed. At times shows tremendous hands but then has bad concentration drops. Not strong enough to keep dbs from cutting his routes. Has the ceiling of a good Brandon Lloyd type receiver or the floor of a bad Brandon Lloyd.

140. - Bryce Williams - TE - Looks like a big lanky receiver. Would like to see him put on more weight in the pros to be a complete TE. Has good hands and able to use his long frame to reach away from defenders and pluck the ball away. Doesn't show the speed and agility to play outside but will be able to make the catch in the middle of the field to move the chains. Not strong enough to be consistently used as a blocker.

141. - Miles Killebrew - OLB - A good size/speed prospect. I don't trust him in the back of the field and as the last line of defense. I think he is better suited to play the 4/3 OLB role. He shows the talent to patrol around the line of scrimmage and close quickly. He also has the speed to cover zones in the intermediate game and cover crossing receivers and tight ends. He lacks the change of direction skills and ability to flip his hips to play safety in the pros.

142. - Jordan Jenkins - OLB - Athletic but not powerful. Showed the ability to chase and tackle but disappeared too often when asked to rush the passer. If he got to the qb, it was more often a missed assignment and he closed quickly or he was persistent trying to outwork the blocker.

143. - Kevin Peterson - CB - He has a small frame which doesn't match with his aggressive nature. Bigger receivers are easily able to shed him and then he doesn't have the elite speed to make up for it. May develop into a slot corner because he shows some quickness but needs better awareness and timing to match his aggression.

144. - Kevin Byard - S - He isn't a tone setting safety but he can be that deep field ball hawk that pass defenses need. He is good at diagnosing the deep ball and has good enough speed to time his run to make a play on the ball or make it difficult for the receiver to get a clean look. Reliable enough tackler but needs to wrap up and go low to bring down the ball carrier.

145. - Daniel Lasco - RB - Great speed. Is decisive and gets north up the field quickly. Will try to run by or around defenders before dipping his shoulder and powering through. Questionable ball security. Looks like he is afraid of his issues and has to rely on holding the ball with two hands instead of using the free hand to push off defenders - which makes him square up and look less flexible.

146. - Brandon Allen - QB - Shows an ability to make difficult throws under pressure or flushed from the pocket. Led his receivers and gave them a chance to make plays - sometimes too often through double-coverage. Not the strongest arm but shows he can make all the throws. Willing to stand in the pocket and take hits right before he throws. Ceiling is probably as a backup but can win a few games if asked to step up.

147. - Henry Krieger Coble - TE - Style reminds me of a shorter and less talented Heath Miller - probably helps that his uniform colors match. He is a willing and efficient blocker and a reliable receiver working underneath and running quick out patterns.

148. - Sean Davis - S/CB - Beat too frequently for big plays. Struggled with faster and shiftier receivers and had to give too much space in coverage. Has good size and a sure tackler but a liability in coverage. Has the athletic and physical traits to develop.

149. - Cassanova Mckinzy - OLB - I see an Ahmad Brooks project in this guy that would be worth a 5th-6th round pick. I would try to develop him as a 3/4 OLB that sets the edge against the run and rushes the passer while being tasked with coverage in small areas. He isn't agile enough to stay in the middle but he has intriguing strength and power when he charges forward that he shows glimpses of being a future all around 3/4 olb.

150. - Josh Ferguson - RB - A short, powerful runner that can go it all but best at grinding out 3-4 yard plays with the occassional big run outside. Can hide behind an oline and then explode up field making it difficult for defenders to react. Is best suited to play a Darren Sproles like role and be a change of pace back that can do everything all over the field.

Part 2: Notes on why I ranked the player where I did -

Rank Name Position Notes
1. - Myles Jack - OLB/MLB/ILB - Superior quickness, speed and explosion for a linebacker. Plays well in space and even frequently used to cover the deep field. Shows power to rush the passer and get off blocks.

2. - Laremy Tunsil - OT - Very smooth. He makes it look effortless at times. His timing and technique were second to none. There were several times he would knock the rusher straight on their back because of skill and not power - simply knocking people off balance when taking bad angles or beating them to the point of attack.

3. - Jalen Ramsey - CB - Excellent press cover skills. Shows strength and quickness to disrupt the initial route. Great recovery speed. Is very physical and will probably get his fair share of holding calls after 5 yards because he is so aggressive. Needs a creative d coordinator that will let him blitz off the edge frequently. Shows great speed and timing in his blitz.

4. - Jared Goff - QB - NFL starting QB qualities: keeps his eyes downfield; glides in the pocket; shows an ability to forget bad previous plays and an arm to make all the necessary throws.

5. - Joey Bosa - OLB/DE - Consistently collapses the pocket. Excels in all his reponsibilities - rushing the passer, stopping the run and taking on blockers for others on his team to make plays. Numbers dipped last season but he was continually disruptive and you could tell defenses were aware of where he was each play.

6. - DeForest Buckner - DE - An overwhelming combination of quickness (often being the first out of his stance) and power. For such a big guy he was frequently able to weave through blockers. Goes over, under and through defenders showing multiple ways of disrupting entire plays. Solid in both run and pass defense.

7. - Ezekiel Elliot - RB - Everything you want in an rb: speed; quickness; power; an attitude that says he is going to run by a defender or punish him if they try to tackle him. He also displays good receiving hands for a back. He can play every down.

8. - Ronnie Stanley - OT - Fast get off and quick into his back pedal. Uses his long arms efficiently. Extends his arms with power and frequently prevents the attacker from getting into his chest.

9. - Jonathon Bullard - DE/DT - He was a difference maker and tone setter for the Florida defense. Anytime he was out for a breather or injured the run and pass game both noticeably suffered. He consistently gets a push and plays more athletically than his frame looks.

10. - Sheldon Rankins - DE/DT - A beast both in the pass and run game. He is quick for his massive size. He can change directions quickly and loop inside or outside. Shows effort to chase much smaller players in the open field.

11. - Vernon Hargreaves III - CB - Can play both man and zone. Shorter than ideal but his agression makes up for a lot of that. He is not afraid to mix it up with big receivers and has good timing to poke away the ball in the air. Gives up the comeback routes too frequently because he is afraid to get beat deep - gives too much cushion.

12. - Josh Doctson - WR - Great high point skills and excellent at tracking the ball in the air. Shows speed and strength. Displays quickness when having to run across the middle and slant patterns. Does not have elite stop and go accelleration - good enough off the line though.

13. - Emmanuel Ogbah - DE/OLB - Flashes like Demarcus Ware with not as much bend. One of the most forceful rushers in the draft. Quick get off. Has not reached his ceiling yet.

14. - Laquan Treadwell - WR - Great anticipation and ability to high point the ball. His quickness in and out of routes is not elite.

15. - Shaq Lawson - OLB/DE - Sets the edge well and rarely gets pushed back. Shows a variety of moves - bull rush, spin move, etc - but the moves need refinement and power seems to be his main strength while trying to turn the corner.

16. - Carson Wentz - QB - An NFL caliber arm. Has good timing on his throws outside the hash marks which most young qbs struggle with.

17. - Robert Nkemdiche - DT - Questionable awareness. He was tremendous at beating his man with either a quicker first step or more power but then he wasn't aware of where the ball was. Several big plays came by beating his man and then having the ball carrier right in front of him.

18. - Kevin Dodd - OLB/DE - Has great length but would like to see more power. Not as football smart as teammate Lawson and can get washed out of plays due to bad angles in the run game. His pash rush is slowed because he watches and reacts versus instincts. If coached up well then he could be a force.

19. - Corey Coleman - WR - Great body control and stop and start acceleration. Will go up to make the difficult cathes. He is an aggressive competitor. Plays bigger than his size.

20. - Noah Spence - DE/OLB - A fast get off and an ability to turn the corner. Sometimes relies too much on speed and less on power and can be pushed away from the play.

21. - Jarran Reed - DT - Often double-teamed and not pushed back. He is stout at the point of attack and clogs running lanes. Athletic enough to chase runners in short bursts but very little long speed. Will get 3-4 sacks a season in the NFL through persistence and helping to collapse the pocket.

22. - Andrew Billings - DT - Powerful and more agile than he looks for his squatty frame. Has a mean streak (temper may get him into trouble also) and has strong hands to violently throw blockers off of him. I have concerns about his limited move set - seems like a bull rush 90% of the time. Additionally, his center of gravity can be questionable several plays a game. He will lean too far forward to get that pass rush push but smarter line men can easily throw him off balance and throw him flat on his face.

23. - Tyler Boyd - WR - Smooth in his movements. Runs faster than timed speed while watching him. Soft hands… almost seems like the ball glides into his possession.

24. - Jaylon Smith - OLB/MLB - Ranking pre-injury. I see more Danny Trevaithan and less Patrick Willis. His game is about speed and quickness and not as much force - though he still shows more than adequate strength. Bigger blockers were able to disrupt him more often than expected for a potential top 10 pick. Seems more comfortable in making the play past the line of scrimmage than blowing up blocks and run plays behind the line. Post injury - who knows if he is even draftable (Bad Lattimore fears).

25. - Darron Lee - OLB - Exceptional athlete with great pursuit skills. Sure tackler that looks to wrap up versus delivering the big hit. Will be an option to occassionally blitz off the edge because of his speed but not enough power to break away if locked up. Best used as an 4-3 OLB.

26. - Mackensie Alexander - CB - A plug and play nickel corner on day one. He has the ability to shadow receivers and play zone. Good agility and quickly flips his hips when changing direction. Size is a concern but mentally he is not afraid to play bigger. Has the potential to develop into an outside corner but most likely not in a press coverage defensive scheme.

27. - Vernon Butler - DT - Every time I would watch another player against Louisianna Tech, Butler would show up frequently disrupting plays and making it hard to evaluate other players. You could tell teams would focus on him and he would still beat double teams or teams would run away from his side. He is able to get off the snap quickly and then able to overpower blockers.

28. - Reggie Ragland - MLB - A solid but not flashy defender. He will make all the tackles and be in the right position but defenses are not going to plan around him. Can play sideline to sideline in the run game but will struggle if asked to cover faster TE's and receivers running crossing patterns. Able to help in the pass rush game showing adequate strength and timing when blitzing.

29. - Will Fuller - WR - Great speed and fluid movements. Fits the D. Jackson mold. Small hands and drops are red flags.

30. - Leonard Floyd - OLB - Great speed and body control when turning the corner and coming off the edge. Showed the ability to blitz inside with a quick first step - even lining up in the mlb position and making plays. Would like to see more power and better use of his hands.

31. - Paxton Lynch - QB - Reminds me of a mix of Kaepernick (with a faster release) and Cutler. Has a great arm and makes his throws look effortless when he knows where he is going with the ball. Able to even throw with velocity and accuracy with a poor base or when flushed from the pocket. Was too often a one read passer and forced the throws when tight coverage on his first read. Athletic for his size.

32. - Jack Conklin - OT - Has a smooth back pedal and strong hands to keep rushers at bay. Not as strong in the run game. Is a very willing blocker during runs but better at holding his ground than powering defenders out of the play.

33. - Ryan Kelly - C - Quick and powerful out of his stance. He is locking to impose his will and get piece of an offender on every play.

34. - A'Shawn Robinson - DT - Great run defender. Never moved backwards and often double or triple teamed. Not quick off the snap and not going to provide much pass rush. Will do the work for others to get to the qb.

35. - Shon Coleman - OT - Quick first step to get into position for run blocks. Strong hands.

36. - Kenny Clark - DT/DE - Very stout at the point of attack and is able to slide towards the action while not being pushed away from the play because he is constantly keeping his eyes down the field and watching the play develop. Strong hands and arms - even reaching and disrupting ball carriers while double teamed. I question if he is able to lose some wait and play the 3-4 DE position. He is shorter but looks to have a similar body type and move set to Malik Jackson if he were to slim down about 10-15 pounds.

37. - Will Redmond - CB - Ranking without injury. Fast and quick feet. Fast back pedal and able to shift directions quickly. Good ability to diagnose a play and know when, and willing, to dive into a rush play. Has the speed to keep up with receivers on deep patterns.

38. - Michael Thomas - WR - He is willing to make the difficult catch. Shows good but not great speed. His greatest strength is strong hands and yards after the catch ability. Shows strength and agility to break tackles. Best when he can get an arm on a db and shove them off him.

39. - Derrick Henry - RB - Cut and go runner with power and speed. Has the strength to break tackles and fast enough to take it to the house if seeing a clear lane. Not a shifty runner but not really required with his vision and power. Wear and tear is a concern.

40. - Karl Joseph - S - Would be higher rated if he had better size. He flies over the field. It looks like the d coordinator gave him a lot of freelancing ability because he would move all over the formation and make plays all over the field. He is quick, aggressive and fearless.

41. - Jason Spriggs - OT - Very athletic and shows power but is inconsistent. At times he makes major mental blunders or is slow to react and looks like a statue the offense is running by. He has the tools to be a really good left tackle in the league but he will need time to develop.

42. - Chris Jones - DT - Strong defender with good agility for his size. He shows strong hands and good side to side movement skills - splits around blockers or uses his powerful arms to shed blocks. Plays too high at times which slows his initial rush. Shows run stuffing and pocket collapsing potential.

43. - Shilique Calhoun - DE/OLB - Reminds me of Manny Lawson. Shows speed, effort and has good length. Want to see him put on more bulk while maintaining his speed. Not aggressive enough with his hands to tear away from linemen when locked up.

44. - Vadal Alexander - OG - Very solid base with a powerful lower body. He can get low and lock rushers up. Strong arms and good hand placement. Moves very well for his size. Even probably able to play RT tackle in a pinch in the pros.

45. - Javon Hargrave - DT - Dominated lesser competition but has all the tools to replicate with better competition. Shows fantastic burst when coming off the line and uses his hands to swim through defenders or completely knock them off balance. Has agile feet for a man his size.

46. - Deion Jones - ILB/OLB - Has good quickness and awareness. He is quick to fill running lanes and can also be used in pass coverage on crossing patterns and covering tight ends in the middle of the field. He is able to turn his hips faster than most men his size which allows him to react quickly in the pass game or when he needs to change direction quickly. Offers the ability to start immediately on special teams. Shows a weakness in the red zone and playing too safe - taking bad angles and hesitating.

47. - Connor Cook - QB - I see Tony Romo in his game. His throws (though not out as quick) look like Romo and he even has that Romo ability to make great throws and then bone headed ones. He is willing to throw deep and even places passes on target while out of the pocket and poor footwork. Showed the ability to drop passes into small spaces but not on a rope.

48. - Kendall Fuller - CB - Shows great aggression and fights for the ball while in the air. Gets beat too often - possibly trying too hard to make a play and read the route.

49. - Austin Johnson - DT - Has a very good anchor. Mostly a run stuffer and lane clogger. Rarely pushed away from his responsibilities. Would draft for immediate run support but not pass rush ability. Pass rush may develop in the pros because he shows a lot of effort and ability to move quickly in the box.

50. - Josh Garnett - OG - Strong, smart and good reaction skills. Shows all the ability to become a starting guard quickly in the nfl. Good hand placement, ability to bend his knees and get low in his stance, and smart knowing when to pass rushers off. More often content on locking his man up versus getting him to the ground or driving him back.

51. - Eli Apple - CB - Reacts to WR route versus reading the route. Willing tackler but not reliable - misses way too many tackles often as a result of timing or dipping his head. Good speed and agility.

52. - Jerald Hawkins - OT - Shows tremendous potential as a pass blocker with his long arms, smooth back pedal and awareness. While he gets to his man quickly in the run game he does not show that extra power and jolt. Needs to develop a little extra lower body strength.

53. - Taylor Decker - OT - Powerful man with heavy hands. His punch and strength disrupts rushers and looks like he is not satisfied unless he is grinding a guy to the ground. Looks slow and lumbering out of his stance. He is able to make up for it with his power and taking good angles but that will not translate well in the pros. Reminds me of Rob Havenstein.

54. - Cody Whitehair - OG - He may be able to stick with tackle on the right side in a pinch but looks like a future starting guard. He is powerful but looks very stiff. Has trouble getting low which will allow quick edge rushers to get around and underneath him. Shows strong hands and a powerful punch that would better suit in at guard.

55. - Nick Martin - G - A smart guard that knows his assignments. He is rarely ever looking around for a person to block. Knows when to pass a guy off and get to his spot. Athletic enough to pull and get out on screens. Has a strong base and is more effective at sliding his man away from the play versus shoving the pile back.

56. - Bronson Kaufisi - DT/DE - This guy is Henry Anderson-lite to me. He flashes in both the run and pass game. He isn't the quickest but he is stout and disruptive while showing burst in small spaces. He is a 4 to 5 sack a season candidate that will consistently help seal running lanes.

57. - Artie Burns - CB - Good body control for his size. Has a long frame allowing him to extra room to make up space and recover when he gets beat on a move. Willing supporter in the run game. Not as comfortable in the middle field and will need time to develop. Will need to start on the outside in nickel packages if a corner moves inside.

58. - William Jackson III - CB - Great size and long speed. Very comfortable pressing and mirroring receivers along the sidelines. If he is thinking about his movement then he is quick and follows the routes. His problem comes when he has to react quickly. He doesn't have the agility to shift on a dime and gave up big plays when asked to. Good but not great timing when contesting jump balls - left early too often but size and athleticism made up it. Dips his head too often when making open field tackles - an injury waiting to happen if not corrected.

59. - Tyler Ervin - RB - Quickness and burst through the hole. Has a great top end gear while running. Good vision to make a quick cut and go. Not just a dancer looking to get outside to run. He is able to see the hole between the tackle and able to get his extra yards just by beating everyone to the point of attack with his speed. Also offers versatility in the receiving and return games. With a little extra muscle, I see his ceiling as a shorter Jamaal Charles.

60. - Keyarris Garrett - WR - Great size and puts that size to good use. Has really good long speed but can be a little stiff in the starting his run. Still quick enough to run slants and crossing routes. Strength in getting up field and out jumping dbs - really good at timing the deep ball and catching the ball at the highest point. He ran limited routes in college but has tremendous potential. He can do it all for a future number 1 if he develops.

61. - Braxton Miller - WR/RB - Exceptional all around athlete. I have him pegged as a gadget player beyond ever being a full time outside or slot WR. Will make huge plays in his career after getting carries (reverses, jet sweepts, etc) and also some long catches. I question his hands. They are good but not naturally soft.

62. - Adolphus Washington - DT - Big, powerful and slow. Run stuffing machine but pass rush was lacking. Ohio St stuck him on the edge frequently but he mostly shut down running lanes or cleaned up plays after more talented players disrupted the pocket. Doesn't have great agility or a quick get off. A great anchor and really gets pushed back.

63. - Carl Nassib - DE - Good strength. Shows a powerfull bull rush if he gets a step on the blocker. Adequate quickness in a small confined area. Once the field opens up he does not have the speed or agility to chase and make open field tackles. Great motor and attitude.

64. - Tyvis Powell - S - While watching the more name worthy players, Powell kept showing up in the games. He may not have always been making splashy plays but he had a nose for getting involved and being where the action was. Aggressive and plays until the whistle.

65. - Darian Thompson - FS - Good size and movement. More of a modern safety. Good at playing coverage near the line of scrimmage and reading passes in the deep field. Doesn't look to lay the wood and more comfortable making the sure tackle. Good enough quickness to cover bigger receivers and tight ends but not good enough for the shiftier receivers.

66. - Paul Perkins - RB - A shifty and fast running back. Shows the ability to get outside and outrun defenders in the open field. His ability to go side to side quickly leaves defenders off balance. Not as powerful between the tackles.

67. - Kenneth Dixon - RB - Good speed, agility and balance. Not very big but a determined runner that tries to break tackles and keeps his feet moving - still able to slip tackles with his quickness and ability to get low and keep his balance. Good vision to see an opening and take off. Willing pass blocker.

68. - Tyler Higbee - TE - I think he has the most potential to be a receiving threat as a te. He shows the ability to make plays inside and outside the hashmarks. Shows soft and powerful hands. He is able to get up and high point a pass, catch and run while breaking tackles and willing to put is body on the line to make difficult catches. Blocking is average but he shows the competitive fire to get better as a blocker.

69. - Hunter Henry - TE - He is going to be more of a check down TE versus a vertical stretcher with sticky NFL coverage and faster line backers. He shows good hands and willingness to make the difficult catch in traffic but not enough quickness for the faster line backers and larger safeties.

70. - Leonte Carroo - WR - Able to be used in multiple WR spots. At his best when crossing through the field or playing in the middle of the hash marks and looking for the soft spot in the defense. Able to shift directions quickly and displays strong hands when making the catch while getting smacked.

71. - Sterling Shepard - WR - Great body control and timing. Made some extremely difficult catches - did have some bad drops though but those seemed to be due often to him thinking about his next step or move after the catch. A reliable but not explosive receiver. Ceiling is Jarvis Landry with his role probably being a short distance chain mover.

72. - CJ Prosise - RB - He reminds me of Le'Veon Bell. He shows speed and power. Technique and vision are still works in progress but he looks like he has all the tools to develop into a starting RB with proper coaching and experience.

73. - Josh Perry - ILB/OLB - Scheme versatile. Will fit as 4-3 olb or inside in a 3-4. Shows quickness and power. Durable and good enough size to take on blocks. Really good athlete but not elite tracking speed.

74. - Vonn Bell - S - More willing to let others make the play on the team and just be an observer near the play. Shows quickness and smarts to be around the play where it is developing but doesn't show that nastiness to stick his nose in and lay a hit to remember.

75. - Jeremy Cash - S - More of a nickel safety or line of scrimmage safety versus a deep field safety. Looks to lay the hard hit on the carrier. Plays bigger than he looks.

76. - Jack Allen - C - Nasty. This guy is a tone setter on the line. He is going to draw several penalties in his career but he is going to be the first to get up and protect his qb. He is powerful but not very quick. He gets upright too often and has to wrestle his man. Still shows tremendous strength even when not using great technique. Will need to play in a power run scheme or one that doesn't ask him to do too much.

77. - Kamalei Correa - OLB - Good timing and explosion through small holes. Excelled at splitting through the guard and tackle. Quick and flexible but power isn't always evident in his game. Neutralized by big and fast linemen. Would like to see a better variety of moves instead of relying on just his natural talent. I'm afraid his floor is another Shea Mcclellin.

78. - Jalen Mills - CB - To me he is more of a corner than a safety. He doesn't patrol the field and space as well as covering players. When tasked with covering he is able to read routes and react quickly. He closes quickly to make the tackle on his assignment. Not as effective tackling in the open field and tends to play hesitant afraid he is the last line of defense.

79. - Christian Westerman - OG - Is strong and stout. Quick out of his stance. Smart player knowing to get to his point of attack quickly. His hands and technique are very impressive. He has fast hands and constantly hand fights like a sumo wrestler if he doesn't immediately lock on to disrupt and frustrate defenders. May need to add weight to generate more force because a movement and zone blocking scheme would not best utilize his skills.

80. - Germain Ifedi - OT - Good athleticism and good feet for a man his size. I really question his hands and arm usage. He let too many people get to his chest where he would either bear hug them or try and push them off. Too many times offenders were able to swipe away his arms and make a play on the ball. If he is coarched up better than he has the potential to develop to a quality starter with his other traits. If his hand problems remain then he will be a bust.

81. - Su'a Cravens - OLB - Looks best as a 4-3 OLB. He is able to blitz from the outside, times his jumps and uses his long arms to swat down passes to the flat, strong enough to fend off blockers and make the tackle at the line and agile and flexible in his cuts to cover receivers and tight ends. Could be used in either a Deonne Buchannon role or safety role but doesn't seem like the best use of his skills.

82. - Kentrell Brothers - ILB - Smart and aggressive. He can set the tone and command a defense. Does everything well while not being explosive in one particular area. He is smart enough to diagnose plays and close running lanes or attack runners in the back field, aggressive enough to attack the ball on short passes and good timing when blitzing the a gap. His sideline speed is questionable and usually makes up for it with good angles.

83. - Alex Collins - RB - Plays bigger than his size and with a chip on his shoulder. Nimble enough to make tacklers miss if they take a bad angle but not quick enough to make miss if straight up.

84. - Xavien Howard - CB - Looks smaller than his listed size and shielded from the ball frequently by bigger receivers. Not great at tracking the ball in the air on sideline and fade passes. Shows good tracking and mirroring skills when given time to follow a WR and use his speed. Not as good of anticipation when having to react to quick routes.

85. - Pharoh Cooper - WR - Quick hitting receiver that plays bigger than just a slot receiver. Able to make plays in the short and long game. A swiss army knife - Has the floor of Bruce Ellington and the ceiling of a Edelman type player.

86. - Jerell Adams - TE - A much better receiver than he is a blocker. Made several difficult catches in traffic and on balls poorly placed with bad qb play. Uses his hands to pluck balls from the air instead of letting them come to him. Able to use his size to body up and get open in the middle of the field. Good size and speed to break tackles after the catch. His routes are a little sloppy.

87. - Keanu Neal - S - He has the skills of a traditional strong safety and will be best suited to play the role of lane filler and attacking the line of scrimmage. He has the awareness and reaction timing to close running lanes quickly. He also shows the power to lay powerful hits on runners. Still has the speed to not be a complete liability if only tasked with covering the deep field on occassion and offering support in pass coverage versus one on one coverage.

88. - Eric Murray - CB - A cb that shows great physicallity and technique. He excels at sideline coverage using his body to block out receivers on the sideline which effectively negates their ability to make uncontested and easy catches. Not as great in the open field but still shows really good athleticism and quickness to develop an all around skill set in the pro game.

89. - Kei'Varae Russell - CB - Ranking based on games. He is an aggressive corner that can play tight or off coverage. Able to keep with receivers all around the field and make plays on the ball - timing his dives and jumps to intercept or sway away passes. He can stay with speedy receivers on the deep ball but sometimes a slight step behind and need to make a play on the receiver instead of the ball. He is able to make up for his lack of elite speed by analyzing the route and getting a jump on the receiver.

90. - Connor Mcgovern - OT/OG - The name of his game is power. Will best be played at RT or OG because suddeness and agility are not his best traits. Also, would prefer longer arms. Has great functional strength and makes it look effortless once he has a guy in his grasp. He was rarely pushed back in battles of strength. Will want to see him use his legs move when getting low and drive blocking in transition to guard.

91. - Christian Hackenberg - QB - If he could have all the time he needed to go through progressions and wait for receivers to get open then he would be a really good qb. The problem is that isn't the real world. He holds the ball too long (receivers were not great except for Robinson and trouble if he was locked up) and the oline didn't give him enough time to not adjust quickly. On the plus side, he showed the ability to make difficult throws and find tiny openings but it wasn't frequent enough.

92. - Denver Kirkland - OG - Power and surprising quickness when running straight up field to block. Gets to the second level and blocks until the whistle. Not great lateral movement and flexibility in turning his body. Looked confused at times on an island not knowing who to block and then slow getting his hands on a body. His best position will be develops as a mauling power guard in the pros.

93. - Spencer Drango - OT/OG - This guy is a rock once he is locked into his man. Shows the ability to get low and push his man back in the run game. He has questionable speed when back pedaling and explosion out of his stance. Will probably need to play RT or guard in the pros.

94. - Charone Peake - WR - Big and well built receiver with mostly reliable hands - dropped some easy passes he should have caught possible due to fear of getting hit. Looks a little Demaryius Thomas-esque when taking screen passes up the field.

95. - Austin Hooper - TE - Early on he is going to be more valuable as a blocker than a receiver as a tight end. He is a willing and smart blocker - knowing when to seal the edge or get upfield and set his block. His route running is choppy. He is able to get open using his body and quickness but doesn't show a lot of wiggle and aggressiveness getting open. He made it too easy for defenders to run with him and negate his routes.

96. - Devontae Booker - RB - All around rb. He can catch, break tackles, run inside and outside and pass block. Doesn't show elite speed or lateral agility but he makes up for it with his vision and ability to take good angles to fall forward and get that extra yard or two.

97. - Demarcus Robinson - WR - Rank based on games and not personality. Shows the ability to make the difficult catch in traffic or along the sideline. Great combination of speed and quickness. His play can be very lazy at times. You can visibly see him give up on bad throws, make weak attempts at blocking or just not run his full route when he knows the pass isn't coming his way.

98. - Rashard Higgins - WR - His route running is very consistent. The setup looks the same and he is decisive in his movements. Shows the ability to pluck balls out of the air. Doesn't show a lot of explosion and yards after the catch ability.

99. - Landon Turner - OG - A powerful blocker but a bit slow in his movements. Will need to play in a power running scheme. Able to still get out of his stance quick enough and constantly keeps his legs moving to push the pile.

100. - Deiondre' Hall - CB/S - Long and lean cornerback. Comfortable in using those long arms to disrupt routes. Questionable long speed and change of direction. Will need help over the top which brings up questions if he is better suited for a safety position.

101. - Cardale Jones - QB - Decent speed for his size and a live arm. Is not decisive enough and took the ball and ran too often. Shows that he can throw with touch but slightly inaccurate. Has all the raw materials.

102. - Yannick Ngakoue - OLB - Inconsistent. In one game he can look like a dominant rusher with strong hands swatting away guards and tackles and then then look completely washed out on the next play. Size for the NFL looks questionable. He seems too skinny and needs to put on weight to consistently battle pro tackles.

103. - Antonio Morrisson - MLB - He plays without a regard for his own body. He is flying around all over the field. Unfortunately, his aggression will need to be tampered in the pros to protect him from injury and also because it resulted in a few missed tackles and bad reads. Athletically, he is more quick than fast but shows flexibility to change direction effectively and cover all over the field.

104. - Evan Boehm - C - Stout and consistent. He is a grinder and works his man down. His shorter frame and strength make it hard for him to be knocked back - has a good anchor and low center of gravity. Doesn't have long arms and great quickness so giving him small space to work with when pass blocking will be best.

105. - Kyle Murphy - OT - Has the potential to be a quality RT. He is powerful and gets into position quickly. His footwork is not very smooth though and he does not look extremely agile.

106. - Sheldon Day - DE/DT - Looks better in space than inside. Good enough speed to get around slower guards and tackles. Not as powerful as he looks and shows more effectiveness with his movement than powering through blockers. Solid at holding his ground and not being pushed back. Able to seal the edge.

107. - Tyler Matakevich - MLB - The inevitable Chris Borland comparison - a good player without elite measurables. It is evident in games that he is well prepared and very smart at diagnosing plays - often being at a spot before a running back or receiver on the check down. Can that translate in the NFL where being smarter may not make up for a player flat out beating you because he is bigger and faster? He should still be able to succeed in a 3-4 inside where is tasked with taking on blocks, playing zone coverage and disrupting running plays.

108. - Scoobie Wright - MLB - Really good tackler and good awareness. Lacks agility and slow long speed. Range should be limited in the open field. Aggressive competitor.

109. - Alex Mccalister - DE - Long and skinny. He is able to turn the corner with speed and shows really good flexibility getting around and under tackles. Reminds me of Randy Gregory. Will need to start off as a pass rush specialist because he isn't strong enough against the run yet.

110. - Ronald Blair - DE - Flashes with his short area quickness and initial burst off the line of scrimmage. Does not have great long speed and doesn't look good when chasing players in the open field. Will need to be used in passing plays as a pocket disruptor until he get more powerful and develops a better anchor to hold his position in the run game.

111. - Graham Glascow - OG/C - Shows a mean streak. He makes sure he plays until the final whistle - noticeable by how often he is on the ground… setting that extra cut block or doing what he can to slam his man to the ground. Shows strength and quickness. A little stiff when upright but has enough strength to recover if not tasked with blocking too long.

112. - Le'Raven Clark - OT/OG - Looks slow and disinterested at times. Has monsterous size but is going to need to be constantly worked and a coach on his case. Shows flashes when he finally shows the ability to get out of his stance and use his long arms to keep defenders from getting around or underneath him. More comfortable if the play is in front of him. Looks lost if he has to adjust his plan of attack.

113. - Tajae Sharpe - WR - Tall, lean and has some wiggle in his moves. Not a burner and didn't win as many contested throws as would be expected with his frame. Gets most of his separation off the line and should've had more catches but his qb play was poor and they were slow to recognize him winning off the line or didn't get the ball too him early enough allowing the db to recover.

114. - Roger Lewis - WR - A solid receiver with good all aroung traits. Has good size, speed, reliable hands and puts in the effort to make the difficult catches. Good technique to set up dbs. He gets open on deep balls more on selling his routes than blazing speed. Difficult to jam at the line with his intelligence. He just finds a way to get open.

115. - Victor Ochi - DE/OLB - Springs out of his stance with speed and force. He is relentless in pursuit and keeps his hands working to throw his blocker off balance.

116. - Ricardo Louis - WR - Built solidly - tall and athletic. Has really good speed for his size. Route running needs refinement but he has the tools to come in and play a role similar to Ted Ginn. He can run sweeps and get open deep. He will also have the occassional bad drop like Ginn.

117. - Kyler Fackrell - OLB - His strength is in his versatility more than being tremendous at one thing. He has good flexibility and movement for his size to cover the flat and intermediate passes, strong enough to set the edge in the run game and some explosion to rush the passer. Does not consistently show the ability to rush the passer though. He is locked up too often and doesn't have elite burst or bend off the line. He will need to be used as a run stuffing OLB early in his career until he further develops as a pass rusher. Looks like he has room to gain weight/muscle.

118. - Nick Vannett - TE - He can do it all as a TE. He can move all over the line to block and shows the short area quickness to get open in the short receiving game. He will make his initial impact in goal line offenses - blocking for runners and flaring out for the occassional td catch.

119. - DeAndre Houston-Carson - FS - Used more often to cover the deep field than run support. Wasn't a safety that was reading and disrupting running plays. More of a chase and tackle safety. Questionable aggression - got lost in the wash too often or missed a tackle. Explosive when breaking on the ball.

120. - Shawn Oakman - DE - He looks way better exploding out of his stance than when he is standing up and moving. He is able to get off the line quickly and get to his point of attack quickly using his long arms to keep blocker off him. Once he is upright he is essentially neutralized. He is very stiff and doesn't show good change of direction speed. Either he improves his awareness in the pro game which helps his anticipation and movement or he will be a one trick pony and easily washed out of the play.

121. - Charles Tapper - DE - His athletic numbers do not match his in game play speed. He is slow out of his stance and doesn't consistently show power when taking on less athletic linemen. Needs to improve his hand use and develop a swim move to utilize his size and speed.

122. - Dominique Alexander - MLB - Has good agility and quickness but smaller stature. He isn't a powerful tackler and needs to wrap up because of his smaller size but he gets to the ball quickly. Relies more on reaction speed than play anticipation.

123. - Cyrus Jones - CB - Good receiver mirroring skills. He is more quick than fast. Will probably be limited to the slot. While he is able to stick in a receivers back pocket, his timing and awareness are not great to bat away contested or deep passes - flagged too often for not turning to make a play on the ball at the right time. Offers decent punt return skills.

124. - De'Vondre Campbell - OLB/MLB - Has raw natural talent that needs to be further developed. He shows power in his tackles, quick movement skills and ability to run sideline to sideline and make tackles. He has questionable reactionary skills and play diagnosis ability. He needs to be coached up more. Has speed and power to occassionally rush the passer but needs to develop more moves and better use of his hands. Good size to hold up in the pro game as a linebacker.

125. - Dak Prescott - QB - Very limited wow factor plays while throwing the ball in college. Played very well in the system with short smart passes and runs when called or needed. Didn't consistently show great timing with throws and an ability to put passes into tight windows. Throws looked more thought through than natural.

126. - Tyler Johnstone - OT - He looked heavy footed last season and ended up off balance or slipping on the ground. His injury probably played into issues with his foot work but he did show that he had strong hands and strong arms - locking up and not releasing rushers. Though not very agile in his movements, he showed good timing and intelligence to take proper angles to disrupt edge rushers. Wasn't able to drive back defenders in the run game. Was that a byproduct of getting his lower body strength back?

127. - Aaron Burbridge - WR - Willing to make plays all over the field and sacrifice his body either in coverage or diving to the ground. Misses too many difficult catches that he needs to make though. Doesn't have the strength to power through stronger defensive backs. Good awareness to find the soft spot in zone coverage. Not a burner.

128. - Harlan Miller - CB - At his best playing press. Shows good technique while trying to jam and disrupt routes. Will hit the receiver and adjust quickly to the route. Aggressive in coverage. Lacks long speed and will need to cover slower receivers or have help over the top.

129. - Joe Haeg - OT/OG - Hustle is the first thing that comes to mind with Haeg. He is running all over the field blocking and playing until the whistle. He is quick for a tackle and shows great athelticsm. Very good against speed rushers because he has the quickness to neutralize them. He struggles greatly with power rushers and the bull rush if they get a chance to get a running start against him. Played against weaker competition so he will be a liability in the pros until he increases functional strength and improves his base.

130. - Jonathan Williams - RB - Great balance and center of gravity. Good burst and quick feet. He tends to dance too much before he decides to make his move and will probably have his fair share of tackles for loss in the pros until he plays more decisively. He still offers solid potential because he is able to get small and break tackles with him getting low and using power to free himself from bigger players that go too high.

131. - Kenyan Drake - RB - Good all around weapon. Had an injury but his hands don't look natural when catching the ball. Can still catch and make plays but he will have some bad drops. Good acceleration. Adds a bonus as a quick and decisive returner.

132. - Zack Sanchez - CB - Too often played soft in coverage and gave too much space. Lacks strength to play close to the line. He is quick to close on the tackle. Shows quickness and speed to undercut routes. Fiesty and willing to throw his body into a tackle but stronger receivers and tight ends were able to shed him with stronger and longer arms.

133. - Joe Schobert - OLB - Productive but not spectacular. Finds a way to get to the ball but doesn't tend to be through and sophisticated moves or explosive movements. His strength lies in his hand work and slapping away weaker grips or wiggling free from blockers with forceful lateral movement. Not sure he is athletic enough to be a 3/4 olb or 4/3 de. Can he switch to the inside in a 3/4?

134. - Austin Blythe - C - Short and squatty. Shows good strength and leverage when moving blockers. Functional but not great athlete.

135. - Hassan Ridgeway - DT - When he has good pad level, he can take on double teams and hold the point or break through single blocks. His problem is he gets too high easily and he doesn't show strong arms or quick area burst to break free once locked up.

136. - Maliek Collins - DT - I see a one trick pony in the pro game. He shows flashes of pass rush potential and disrupting the quarterback but gets washed out of run plays and stuffed at the line of scrimmage way too often. On the Nebraska d-line, he either consistently beat all of his team mates out of his stance and deep into the backfield or we was the one immediately knocked out of a play or pushed the farthest back. His talent is getting out of his stance quickly and shooting the gap while swimming through blockers. He needs to gain more strength and develop better balance to have a better anchor when he doesn't immediately win.

137. - Matt Ioannidis - DT - Good use of leverage and hustle. Able to launch off his blocks and get low to initially disrupt the play. Effort greater than elite natural talent and strength.

138. - Mike Thomas - WR - Southern Miss. His strength is outworking the db. He is able to work himself free when plays break down and works back to the ball when his qb needs help. Not a sudden receiver or speedster but has reliable hands and catches away from his body. His ceiling is a solid possession receiver that is smart and keeps grinding.

139. - Kenny Lawler - WR - Tall, lanky receiver with ok speed. At times shows tremendous hands but then has bad concentration drops. Not strong enough to keep dbs from cutting his routes. Has the ceiling of a good Brandon Lloyd type receiver or the floor of a bad Brandon Lloyd.

140. - Bryce Williams - TE - Looks like a big lanky receiver. Would like to see him put on more weight in the pros to be a complete TE. Has good hands and able to use his long frame to reach away from defenders and pluck the ball away. Doesn't show the speed and agility to play outside but will be able to make the catch in the middle of the field to move the chains. Not strong enough to be consistently used as a blocker.

141. - Miles Killebrew - OLB - A good size/speed prospect. I don't trust him in the back of the field and as the last line of defense. I think he is better suited to play the 4/3 OLB role. He shows the talent to patrol around the line of scrimmage and close quickly. He also has the speed to cover zones in the intermediate game and cover crossing receivers and tight ends. He lacks the change of direction skills and ability to flip his hips to play safety in the pros.

142. - Jordan Jenkins - OLB - Athletic but not powerful. Showed the ability to chase and tackle but disappeared too often when asked to rush the passer. If he got to the qb, it was more often a missed assignment and he closed quickly or he was persistent trying to outwork the blocker.

143. - Kevin Peterson - CB - He has a small frame which doesn't match with his aggressive nature. Bigger receivers are easily able to shed him and then he doesn't have the elite speed to make up for it. May develop into a slot corner because he shows some quickness but needs better awareness and timing to match his aggression.

144. - Kevin Byard - S - He isn't a tone setting safety but he can be that deep field ball hawk that pass defenses need. He is good at diagnosing the deep ball and has good enough speed to time his run to make a play on the ball or make it difficult for the receiver to get a clean look. Reliable enough tackler but needs to wrap up and go low to bring down the ball carrier.

145. - Daniel Lasco - RB - Great speed. Is decisive and gets north up the field quickly. Will try to run by or around defenders before dipping his shoulder and powering through. Questionable ball security. Looks like he is afraid of his issues and has to rely on holding the ball with two hands instead of using the free hand to push off defenders - which makes him square up and look less flexible.

146. - Brandon Allen - QB - Shows an ability to make difficult throws under pressure or flushed from the pocket. Led his receivers and gave them a chance to make plays - sometimes too often through double-coverage. Not the strongest arm but shows he can make all the throws. Willing to stand in the pocket and take hits right before he throws. Ceiling is probably as a backup but can win a few games if asked to step up.

147. - Henry Krieger Coble - TE - Style reminds me of a shorter and less talented Heath Miller - probably helps that his uniform colors match. He is a willing and efficient blocker and a reliable receiver working underneath and running quick out patterns.

148. - Sean Davis - S/CB - Beat too frequently for big plays. Struggled with faster and shiftier receivers and had to give too much space in coverage. Has good size and a sure tackler but a liability in coverage. Has the athletic and physical traits to develop.

149. - Cassanova Mckinzy - OLB - I see an Ahmad Brooks project in this guy that would be worth a 5th-6th round pick. I would try to develop him as a 3/4 OLB that sets the edge against the run and rushes the passer while being tasked with coverage in small areas. He isn't agile enough to stay in the middle but he has intriguing strength and power when he charges forward that he shows glimpses of being a future all around 3/4 olb.

150. - Josh Ferguson - RB - A short, powerful runner that can go it all but best at grinding out 3-4 yard plays with the occassional big run outside. Can hide behind an oline and then explode up field making it difficult for defenders to react. Is best suited to play a Darren Sproles like role and be a change of pace back that can do everything all over the field.

awesome read! thanks for this!

Wow. That took some time. Great post

The more I look at these draft boards, the more I think Ronnie Stanley will be our first pick.

It is so easy to see why Buckner, Jack, or Goff should be our pick I just think Baalke will go after Stanley.

A ton of information. Anyone that spends that much time digesting info and throwing onto a page deserves praise.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Stanley but I think he would be so much better on the left side than the right side. Would be perfect for a pass happy team.

Thanks AlmighT, Frozen and MadDog! It does take up a lot of time but definitely enjoyable. It makes watching the draft so much better to see if teams agree with you or not. Plus, I enjoy everything the draft fans on here add, argue and hours spent researching.

Nick Martin plays Center

Thanks for catching that. I should've put G/C. I think he can play both.

Notes on the new players added:

Rank - Name - Position - Notes
84. - Jordan Howard - RB - One cut and go runner. He is decisive and has good acceleration through the hole. His lateral quickness and jump cut are impressive for his size.

88. - Malcolm Mitchell - WR - At his best when coming back to the ball or running slants. Willing to make the difficult catch in traffic and tries to gain the extra yards. Looks like Anquan Boldin working the underneath and come back patterns. Showed soft hands to make the hard catches and high point the ball.

99. - Isaac Seumalo - G - Powerful guard. Always up the field further than all his teammates on the line. Good awareness and movement for his size. Hand placement can be improved on. Strong grip to lock up defenders.

109. - Jatavis Brown - ILB - Good sideline to sideline speed. Small size is a concern but still hits harder than you would expect. Easily out-muscled by linemen when squared up. Even big WRs were knocking him out of run plays. Will need to keep working on his strength and plan diagnosis to avoid blockers.

110. - Jahad Ward - DT - Moves well for his size. Wins more battles than he loses but problem is it takes time for him to maneuver and use his power and long arms to disengage. Needs to work on setting up his opponent initially to buy him precious time to get to the QB. Versatile - can play inside or out. Would prefer him inside in pass rush situations.

131. - Maurice Canady - CB - Good timing and awareness. He is aggressive and will try to get his hands and arms in between the receiver and disrupt their catch motion. Quick hands to react quickly and swat passes away. Good size.

137. - Adam Gotsis - DT - Surprising athleticism for his size and frame. He constantly fights even when faced with double or triple teams. Quick enough to squeeze through linemen and powerful enough to shed blockers. More athlete than technique right now. I really like that he keeps his eyes on the ball carrier and clogs the lane even when he doesn't win the initial first step and hand battle.

142. - TJ Green - S/CB - Good size, speed and flexibility for his length. Shows an ability to cover for a short period of time and play in space. Exposed the longer he is asked to cover down the field. Questionable angles and reaction time for a safety. Would rather him cover than diagnosing and closing run lanes. Takes his eyes off the quarterback too often when in coverage.

143. - Justin Simmons - S - Able to get in good positions to make plays. Has a good sense when to undercut routes or read where a quarterback is going. Lacks exceptional explosion or long speed in coverage. Doesn't deliver the hard hit but willing to wrap up and make the sure tackle.

148. - KJ Dillon - S - Shows a multi-skillset at safety. He is able to play deep, by the line of scrimmage and covers the slot. He has good closing speed and sticks with receivers on crossing patterns short while also able to keep up downfield. Seems more comfortable in man than playing zone. Would probably best be used covering TEs but not sure if he is big enough.

149. - Joe Thuney - G - Got beat too often but showed surprising athleticism when recovering and hip flexibility to throw off defenders on their way to the ball. Smart and uses good technique - though needing to use sometimes to make up for a lack of power.

156. - Willie Henry - DT - Reminds me of RJF and probably should be molded in similar fashion - a run stuffer with occasional pocket pressure. Moves well for his size, rarely gets knocked off his spot when anchored and uses his hands to irritate blockers. Doesn't show an explosive first step and is more of a grinder than providing immediate disruption to the line.

159. - Matt Judon - DE - Average to above average get off. Has power and speed when turning the corner. Doesn't show many moves and awareness needs improvement.

160. - Max Tuerk - C - He is smart and moves well for his size. He is well built and looks stout. Play strength does not match his look (is it coaching and experience?). He loses the strength and hand battle too often. Jolted back too often on initial contact. Would like to see much heavier hands. A terrible idea to start him as a rookie but he has raw material to improve.

161. - DJ White - CB - Good at reading the quarterback's eyes and jumping routes. Will try baiting the quarterback to make a play on the ball. Good speed to stick with receivers. Shows questionable read and react ability when he has not correctly diagnosed a play. He will give too much cushion to a receiver and then not react appropriately to the route at times.

166. - Nick Vigil - ILB/OLB - Good speed and suddenness but he needs to gain muscle. Tends to run around blockers instead of through them.

167. - Chris Moore - WR - Nice size and really good speed. Looks like he has the frame to add more muscle without losing speed. At his best using his speed and quickness to stretch the field. Will out fight receivers for the ball when it is in the air. Shows an extra gear when accelerating after the catch.

Wow that was an impressive amount of time. I completely disagree with Goff and Tunsil being that high

Thanks. It took a lot of time but I was trapped at home a while so it made it easy. I stand behind those rankings. I think Goff is going to be really good and I'm not even a Cal homer (if he goes to the Rams then I hope I am wrong and he sucks). He just moves in the pocket so much better than past top prospects and then has really good anticipation.

Tunsil just looks like he is on a different level than the other blockers. There were games where it looked effortless for him to knock people to the ground - like they were on ice.

I do respect your opinion though!
