2021 NFL Draft Recap: AFC East

May 3, 2021 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

The AFC East 2021 NFL Draft recap features a Patriots team that kept up with the Joneses and a Jets squad who picked its franchise quarterback. The Bills got longer on defense while the Dolphins increased its team speed.

Buffalo Bills
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position-School	DN Big Board Rank/Grade	Notes
1st Round, 30th overall	Buffalo Bills	Gregory Rousseau	6’6 5/8” 266/DE-Miami (Fla.)	8/1st Round	The Bills take a pass rusher with 11-inch hands and an 83” wingspan. Rousseau had 15.5 QB sacks in 2019 and was tough to latch while working from a number of spots.
2nd Round, 61st overall	Buffalo Bills	Carlos “Boogie” Basham	6’3 1/2” 274 DE-Wake Forest	36/2nd Round	From a technical perspective, Basham is pretty advanced with his pass rush moves working off the edge. Some teams won’t like his hand size and arm length, but he is slippery and strong in the lower body. Few players in the ACC matched Basham’s production.
3rd Round, 93rd overall	Buffalo Bills	Spencer Brown	6’8 314/OT-Northern Iowa	100/3rd Round	The former eight-man Iowa high school football standout transitioned impressively to 11-man football. He’s gained nearly 100 pounds (94) since his high school days. His chest exposure is simply due to leverage, but his ability to sit down can be seen in the pre-snap, when his body is lower than the rest of his offensive line.
5th Round, 161st overall	Buffalo Bills (from Las Vegas Raiders)	Tommy Doyle	6'8 320/OT-Miami (OH.)	184/3rd Round	As a taller tackle, he will always be challenged by his posture versus leverage-based defensive ends. He compensates with a heavy punch to widen them in either the run or pass game.
6th Round, 203rd overall	Buffalo Bills (from Washington Football Team via Houston Texans, Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins)	Marquez Stevenson	5'10 182/All-Purpose-Houston	256/4th Round	Stevenson has been a game breaker for the Cougars working in the slot or as a return specialist. He endured a number of major injuries in school and there are questions on how he responds to the physicality of the NFL.
6th Round, 212th overall	Buffalo Bills (from Houston Texans via New Orleans Saints)	Damar Hamlin	6’0 201/S-Pittsburgh	176/3rd Round	Good length. Smart. Communicates with fellow safeties using hand signals. He has decent feet and enough movement skills. He’s almost like an extra nickel back in their schemes.
6th Round, 213th overall	Buffalo Bills	Rachad Wildgoose	5'11 197/CB-Wisconsin	238/4th Round	We project him as a nickel defender on the next level because of his experience in a pro-style scheme under creative Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. He has some physical similarities to Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Rashad Fenton.
7th Round, 236th overall	Buffalo Bills (from Carolina Panthers)	Jack Anderson	6’4 309/OG-OC-Texas Tech	165/3rd Round	You can turn on the video from 2018 to see that he was going to be an NFL prospect. His awareness, footwork and balance all rank among the best in this year’s class of interior linemen.
Miami Dolphins
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position-School	DN Big Board Rank/Grade	Notes
6th overall	Miami Dolphins	Jaylen Waddle	WR-Alabama	28/2nd Round	Waddle is the next receiver to go off the board to be re-united with his former college QB. His foot speed expands the Dolphins’ vertical passing game.
18th overall	Miami Dolphins	Jaelen Phillips	6’5 260 DE-Miami (Fla.), UCLA	43/2nd Round	Phillips has all of the tools to become an instant contributor opposite Emmanuel Ogbah. Can he stay healthy?
36th overall	Miami Dolphins	Jevon Holland	6’1 207/S-Oregon	15/2nd Round	The All-Pac-12 defender, and our top-ranked S/NB, is a former high school wide receiver with the instincts to anticipate ball location. It is a big reason why he made a number of plays versus fade patterns when defending slot receivers.
42nd overall	Miami Dolphins (from New York Giants)	Liam Eichenberg	6’6 303 OT-Notre Dame	32/2nd Round	Whenever a collegian has outstanding technique NFL teams begin to wonder about upside. Maybe it should be the other way around. Continued flexibility gains should be in order for the Saint Ignatius High School product, who earned All-American honors because he reduced the pre-snap mistakes.
81st overall	Miami Dolphins	Hunter Long	6'5 253/TE-Boston College	116/3rd Round	Based on the Eagles’ run-heavy schemes, he often got behind defenses because he was used as a hand in the dirt tight end. A solid in-line blocker with good, but not great strength, Long exudes a smoothness on the field that translates to Sundays. We were not necessarily impressed with the suddenness in which he got of his breaks, but at his size he doesn’t have to really be open. His 83-inch wingspan affords him to only have to get a step on the defender on tightly contested throws.
6th Round, 231st overall	Miami Dolphins (from Houston Texans)	Larnel Coleman	6’6 308/OT-UMass	319/4th Round	84 3/8” wingspan. Primarily a tackle-only prospect, he does have experience at both tackle spots. The Massachusetts native is not a consistent bender, but plays with hot feet. He has the ability to mirror yet doesn’t truly sit in the chair. The former basketball standout has technical flaws but competed well in the film viewed.
7th Round, 244th overall	Miami Dolphins (via Washington Football Team from Las Vegas Raiders)	Gerrid Doaks	6'0 230/RB-Cincinnati	182/3rd Round	For a running back weighing in the 230-pound range, Doaks is athletic, fast enough and tough. We were perhaps most impressed with his hands out of the backfield as a receiver and his pass blocking skill in blitz pickup.
New England Patriots
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position-School	DN Big Board Rank/Grade	Notes
1st Round, 15th overall	New England Patriots	Mac Jones	6’2 217 QB-Alabama	39/2nd Round	Jones goes to the Patriots to develop in a system that could spotlight all of his respective strengths.
2nd Round, 38th overall	New England Patriots (from Cincinnati Bengals)	Christian Barmore	6'5 310/DT-Alabama	14/2nd Round	The Philadelphia native is more of a heavyweight boxer than anything else. For him to truly evolve into a consistent disruptor at the next level, he has to master the intricacies of footwork versus different run blocking schemes.
3rd Round, 96th overall	New England Patriots	Ronnie Perkins	6’2 1/2” 253/DE-OLB-Oklahoma	65/2nd Round	Standing 6-foot-2, he is able to play with a forward lean while keeping good balance. Rarely is he extended too far over his toes. Academic warrior. Plays in a three-point, two-point or four-point stances on the edge.
4th Round, 120th overall	New England Patriots	Rhamondre Stevenson	6’0 230/RB-Oklahoma	289/4th Round	The good thing for Stevenson is that there are not a lot of miles on his tires. This bodes well for his 2021 outlook and beyond when it comes to the NFL. He may get more carries in his first NFL season than he did in all of college.
6th Round, 177th overall	New England Patriots (compensatory selection)	Cameron McGrone	6’3 236/LB-Michigan	179/3rd Round	His field speed is unquestionable and we saw him contribute on special teams. Special teams will be his lifeline as he adjusts to the fast-paced nature of the NFL game. Or, if healthy, will the NFL have to adjust to his fast-paced nature?
6th Round, 188th overall	New England Patriots (from Houston Texans)	Joshuah Bledsoe	5’11 201/S-Missouri	321/4th Round	There were some missed tackles in the film viewed as a result of the aforementioned stiffness. The former multi-position prep level standout has a good feel for the game and is a competitive player. He played his best in critical moments (see Arkansas, LSU in 2020).
6th Round, 197th overall	New England Patriots	William Sherman	6'3 304/OL-Colorado	264/4th Round	He successfully made the switch from left tackle to right tackle and then back to left tackle as a senior. At just one-half inch over 6-foot-3, New England may envision Sherman moving inside to guard. He even worked out at the center position on his Pro Day.
7th Round, 242nd overall	New England Patriots	Tre Nixon	6’1 187/WR-UCF, Ole Miss	188/4th Round	In just four games in 2020, Nixon averaged 65 yards per contest and this was in an offense that spread the ball around quite a bit. His size, speed and route-running remind us of former Pittsburg State wideout John Brown (Cardinals, Bills) coming out of college.
New York Jets
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position	School	Notes
1st Round, 2nd overall	New York Jets	Zach Wilson	6'2 214/QB-BYU	25/2nd Round	Wilson could be a BYU mix of former Cougar standouts Jim McMahon and Steve Young.
1st Round, 14th overall	New York Jets (from Minnesota Vikings)	Alijah Vera-Tucker	6’4 302/OT-USC	6/1st Round	Vera-Tucker could pair with Becton on the left side to potentially power an offensive line that could develop into one of the AFC’s best.
2nd Round, 34th overall	New York Jets	Elijah Moore	5’9 184/WR-Ole Miss	44/2nd Round	From the opening week breakout performance against Florida (10 receptions, 227 yards) through the rest of the season, he found ways to extricate Ole Miss out of trouble.
4th Round, 107th overall	New York Jets	Michael Carter	5’8 201/RB-UNC	60/2nd Round	Carter, who won UNC’s Strength and Conditioning Award for Outstanding Lifter, makes it happen in a powerful fashion. How often do you hear that statement made about a 5-foot-7, 202-pound running back? He is built low to the ground and contains outstanding contact balance.
5th Round, 146th overall	New York Jets	Jamien Sherwood	6’2 204/S-Auburn	369/5th Round	He played a number of roles for the Tigers, but the nickel LB spot was where he showed a lot of skills. Sherwood finished his career with 10 tackles for loss and posted 75 tackles in 2020.
154th overall	New York Jets (from New York Giants)	Michael Carter II	5’10 184/Nickel-Duke	360/5th Round	Due to his plus play speed and instincts, Carter II earned third-team All-ACC honors in 2020. He struggled with torn knee ligaments in 2018 and struggled the rest of the year.
5th Round, 175th overall	New York Jets (via Kansas City Chiefs)	Jason Pinnock	6’0 1/2” 204/CB-Pittsburgh	233/4th Round	Pinnock, a former high school wide receiver, played with confidence when on the field. He was able to perform at either nickel or cornerback with equal parts bravado. He tackled adequately and -despite getting spun around in press-man too easily at times- held his line in the sand more often than not.
6th Round, 186th overall	New York Jets	Hamsah Nasirildeen	6’3 213/S-FSU	59/2nd Round	Long. 34 1/2-inch arms. Fluid enough. Positive knee bend for a taller DB. Has played DB and LB while in school. As a 6-foot-3, 213- pounder, is he going to be used as a sub-package matchup player? If so, he could find a home at the linebacker spot.
6th Round, 200th overall	New York Jets (via Las Vegas Raiders)	Brandin Echols	5'10 179/CB-Kentucky	138/3rd Round	His size remains a question mark. The movement skills, instincts and body control are not question marks. Neither is his effort. The former state champion long jumper has the potential to be a starting nickel back in the NFL.
6th Round, 207th overall	New York Jets (from Kansas City Chiefs via Pittsburgh Steelers through Miami Dolphins)	Jonathan Marshall	6’3 309/DT-Arkansas	223/4th Round	Marshall is a former prep level basketball player with positive movement skills on the field. He impressed with his power and strength in the film viewed at the zero-technique nose guard spot.

2021 NFL Draft Recap: Rounds 2-3

May 1, 2021 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

The second and third rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft are now complete. There were some surprises but teams generally went with profiles that match some of the current players on its own teams. We break down each selection through pick 105, with our respective Big Board rankings and grades. The Rams got another playmaker, the Buccaneers drafted a developmental quarterback, as did the Texans. The Raiders went back to Buffalo in search of another Mack truck, the Dolphins hunted for Long and the Steelers were Green with envy.

2nd Round
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position-School	DN Big Board Rank/Grade	Notes
33rd overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Tyson Campbell	6’2 194/CB-Georgia	126/3rd Round	A big corner with good foot speed and at least satisfactory quickness. His balance is a characteristic that needs to improve, as does his ability to find the ball down the field in coverage.
34th overall	New York Jets	Elijah Moore	5’9 184/WR-Ole Miss	44/2nd Round	From the opening week breakout performance against Florida (10 receptions, 227 yards) through the rest of the season, he found ways to extricate Ole Miss out of trouble.
35th overall	Denver Broncos (from Atlanta Falcons)	Javonte Williams	5'10 212/RB-UNC	33/2nd Round	His physicality, ball skills, short yardage capability and lack of mileage make him a very attractive option as a potential fourth quarter closer.
36th overall	Miami Dolphins	Jevon Holland	6’1 207/S-Oregon	15/2nd Round	The All-Pac-12 defender, and our top-ranked S/NB, is a former high school wide receiver with the instincts to anticipate ball location. It is a big reason why he made a number of plays versus fade patterns when defending slot receivers.
37th overall	Philadelphia Eagles	Landon Dickerson	6’6 326/C-Alabama	56/2nd Round	Dickerson presents a unique multiple skill-set for NFL teams, having started at four different offensive line positions. Availability has always been the concern for the former five-star recruit.
38th overall	New England Patriots (from Cincinnati Bengals)	Christian Barmore	6'5 310/DT-Alabama	14/2nd Round	The Philadelphia native is more of a heavyweight boxer than anything else. For him to truly evolve into a consistent disruptor at the next level, he has to master the intricacies of footwork versus different run blocking schemes.
39th overall	Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)	Tevin Jenkins	6’6 317/OT-Oklahoma State	20/2nd Round	Jenkins needs more technique work, but he has improve for the most part during his career.
40th overall	Atlanta Falcons (from Denver Broncos)	Richie Grant	5’11 197/S-UCF	23/2nd Round	Grant finished his career with 10 interceptions largely as a result of his ability to steal bases on the football field.
41st overall	Detroit Lions	Levi Onwuziurike	6’3 297 DT-Senior	41/2nd Round	Despite not being an elite interior pass rusher, there is room for Onwuzurike to develop into more in that facet of his game.
42nd overall	Miami Dolphins (from New York Giants)	Liam Eichenberg	6’6 303 OT-Notre Dame	32/2nd Round	Whenever a collegian has outstanding technique NFL teams begin to wonder about upside. Maybe it should be the other way around. Continued flexibility gains should be in order for the Saint Ignatius High School product, who earned All-American honors because he reduced the pre-snap mistakes.
43rd overall	Las Vegas Raiders (from San Francisco 49ers)	Trevon Moehrig	6’1 202 S-TCU	30/2nd Round	Moehrig’s smooth nature on the field hides any minor deficien-cies that may illuminate from some questionable tackling angles in space. His communicative nature is much-needed for a secondary that lacked it in 2020.
44th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Kelvin Joseph	5’11 1/2” 197/CB-Kentucky, LSU	37/2nd Round	Joseph’s ability to squeeze routes from the outside-in in man or zone coverage is extremely impressive. There will be few cornerbacks in this year’s draft class with his level of fluidity. There were problems with communication in coverage.
45th overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Walker Little	6’7 313/OT-Stanford	167/3rd Round	Little has not played for a two-year period. When he was on the field, his smooth nature stood out. Rarely did he get overwhelmed with the pace of the defensive end. Can he stay healthy?
46th overall	Cincinnati Bengals (from New England Patriots)	Jackson Carman	6’5 317/OT-Clemson	88/3rd Round	Some of his blocks in space were highlight film worthy. He can lean on defenders with his mass. Managing his weight, however, could help alleviate some of the technical flaws. Did the weight contribute to the recent back surgery in January 2021?
47th overall	Los Angeles Chargers	Asante Samuel, Jr.	5’10 184/CB-FSU	90/3rd Round	Samuel, Jr’s journey to the NFL follows in his father’s footsteps and the comparisons are valid. Samuel, Jr. may not be quite as sudden, but he does have similar instincts in zone coverage. Samuel, Jr.’s ability to read through the quarterback while using a skate-bail technique is eerily similar to his father’s while with the Patriots and Eagles.
48th overall	San Francisco 49ers (from Las Vegas Raiders)	Aaron Banks	6’5 338/OG-Notre Dame	177/3rd Round	Inside, he can move bodies with thump at the point of attack. His base will get too wide in pass protection and the challenge for him surrounds improving hand placement. Pass rushers have a tough time moving him if he can form a lockout and sit down in the chair.
49th overall	Arizona Cardinals	Rondale Moore	5’7 180/WR-Purdue	40/2nd Round	Strong in the lower body. Squats over 600 pounds. His ability to track the football overcomes a somewhat limited catch radius. Overall, he is a first-round talent with enough durability question marks to last until Day 2.
50th overall	New York Giants (from Miami Dolphins)	Azeez Ojulari	6’2 249/DE-OLB Georgia	45/2nd Round	Ojulari is a defensive end/outside linebacker with underrated strength and positive hand usage. There were occasions where his size created limitations, but he generally exhibited satisfactory upper body strength.
51st overall	Washington Football Team	Samuel Cosmi	6’6 314/OT-Texas	62/2nd Round	Cosmi has reserved a spot in scouts’ attention for the better portion of a two-year period. He’s balanced, quick and fluid in his movements at the left tackle spot.
52nd overall	Cleveland Browns (from Chicago Bears)	Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah	6’1 220/LB-Notre Dame	24/2nd Round	Owusu-Koramoah plays the game as if blockers aren’t on the field. His skill at triggering allowed him to overcome some lower body stiffness. We thought he was the best special teams player we saw on film (see Georgia ‘19).
53rd overall	Tennessee Titans	Dillon Radunz	6’6 300/OT-North Dakota State	50/2nd Round	He has worked on keeping a bent posture over the last year, and this despite appearing in just one game in 2020. There were never any question marks regarding the All-American’s pace, foot speed, or quickness.
54th overall	Indianapolis Colts	Dayo Odeyingbo	6’5 285/DE-Vanderbilt	52/2nd Round	A recent Achilles injury may hold back his draft stock, but teams with multiple defenses may go ahead and sit him for a redshirt year while he recovers. The second-team All-SEC defender has Day 2 value.
55th overall	Pittsburgh Steelers	Pat Freiermuth	6’5 251 TE-Penn State	85/3rd Round	Freiermuth, the 2020 Big Ten Tight End of the Year, earned the honor despite missing over half of the year due to a shoulder injury. Prior to that, he averaged nearly six catches and 78 receiving yards per game.
56th overall	Seattle Seahawks	D’Wayne Eskridge	5’9 184/All-Purpose-Western Michigan	115/3rd Round	Despite standing just 5-foot-9, he packs a solid 188 pounds on his frame. He breaks arm tackles and excels when he runs through the reception point, particularly on quick slants. His toughness is also exemplary, especially considering that he has played the cornerback position respectably and stood out crack blocking safeties. The 2020 MAC Special Teams Player of the Year fits the definition of an all-purpose prospect.
57th overall	Los Angeles Rams	Tutu Atwell	5’9 155/WR-Louisville	141/3rd Round	If there is a more electric, elusive, fully-charged offensive player in the draft we haven’t found him. NFL teams just have to know what they’re purchasing. Is it former Louisville wide receiver and two-time Pro Bowler Ernest Givens (Houston Oilers) or former West Virginia star Tavon Austin?
58th overall	Kansas City Chiefs	Nick Bolton	5’11 237/LB-Missouri	77/3rd Round	The positives include down-to-down intensity, pass coverage instincts and blitz capability. His treks on outside runs, varied depending on whether he took the backdoor on his angle to the ball. He is a quick-twitched, fast athlete with pop on contact.
59th overall	Carolina Panthers (from Cleveland Browns)	Terrace Marshall, Jr.	6’3 205/WR-LSU	29/2nd Round	Smart. Lines up at each of the receiver spots for the team. There are instances where he wins on the perimeter by not giving away catch indicators for the defensive back in man coverage (see Auburn 2019 vs. Igbinoghene). Prior to fracturing his foot against Vanderbilt, Marshall led the nation with six touchdown receptions.
60th overall	New Orleans Saints	Pete Werner	6’2 240/LB-Ohio State	103/3rd Round	Werner -a solid wrap tackler with range- offers NFL teams plenty of options. He can cover tight ends and line up as an off-or-on the ball linebacker. The former Buckeye contains comfort walking out over slot receivers (in zone or man). In fact, he was seen dropping into the deep middle one-third, as a two-deep safety and in a quasi robber position.
61st overall	Buffalo Bills	Carlos “Boogie” Basham	6’3 1/2” 274 DE-Wake Forest	36/2nd Round	From a technical perspective, Basham is pretty advanced with his pass rush moves working off the edge. Some teams won’t like his hand size and arm length, but he is slippery and strong in the lower body. Few players in the ACC matched Basham’s production.
62nd overall	Green Bay Packers	Josh Myers	6’5 310/OC-Ohio State	168/3rd Round	10 1/2” hands. Myers is capable of getting to most of his spots but his hand placement is a question mark. He is a fit in a zone blocking scheme and it might be at a guard position as opposed to center.
63rd overall	Kansas City Chiefs	Creed Humphrey	6’4 312/OC-Oklahoma	51/2nd Round	The 2020 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year is a left-handed snapper with some flaws, but his technique, guile and football intelligence ensure him a good chance of becoming an NFL starter.
64th overall	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Kyle Trask	6’5 236/QB-Florida	158/3rd Round	Trask is solid on in-breaking throws to tight ends, slants to his wideouts and crossing patterns. His uptick in production in 2020 largely involved an increased efficiency on fades, posts and out-breaking patterns. Much of this revolved around enhanced timing and anticipation. His physical skills are solid, if unspectacular.
3rd Round
Selection	Team	Player selection	Position-School	DN Big Board Rank/Grade	Notes
65th overall	Jacksonville Jaguars	Andre Cisco	6'0 203/FS-Syracuse	54/2nd Round	The fact that he can make a number of tough tackles hides some of the flaws on the makable misses. Nevertheless, his middle of the field instincts and overall activity are similar to former Wake Forest safety Jessie Bates (Cincinnati Bengals). Due to the ACL knee injury he suffered in October, his final draft position does not reflect his overall value.
66th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Kellen Mond	6’3 211/QB-Texas A&M	147/3rd Round	Overall, the Aggies’ all-time leader in total offense has a dual-threat game that largely translates to today’s NFL game. To put it all in perspective, he had 18 games with a rushing and passing touchdown in school.
67th overall	Houston Texans	Davis Mills	6’4 225/ QB-Houston	166/3rd Round	The trend of injuries dates back to his high school days, where he was once ranked ahead of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in 247Sports’ 2017 rankings. So what does he bring to the table? Mills is an inexperienced quarterback with a smooth delivery, good mobility and an even-keeled nature. That calm in the face of the storm helped him deliver after falling behind in games as a junior.
68th overall	Atlanta Falcons	Jalen Mayfield	6’5 326/OT-Michigan	68/2nd Round	Despite limited film, Mayfield was solid in the games viewed. Like former Philadelphia Eagles first-round pick Andre Dillard coming out of school, he takes a lot of the heat but wins most of his matchups due to his footwork.
69th overall	Cincinnati Bengals	Joseph Ossai	6’3 255/LB-Texas	120/3rd Round	The notes kept piling up for Ossai as we broke down his game. In 2019, we were not at all that impressed with his work at the exchange linebacker position. In 2020, he turned it on as a defensive end. He set the edge versus tight ends, flattened on run away and used hip swivel to turn the corner on occasion versus offensive tackles.
70th overall	Carolina Panthers (from Philadelphia Eagles)	Brady Christensen	6’5 302/OT-BYU	115/3rd Round	For the most part, Christensen has been steady. There are some occasions where players get the best of him due to a questionable anchor (see Boyles, USF ’19; Wiley, UTSA ’20). In those instances, he has even been knocked to the ground. Christensen plays more with his feet than with his hand placement, so his strong postseason helped his value.
71st overall	New York Giants (from Denver Broncos)	Aaron Robinson	5’11 190/Nickel-UCF, Alabama	58/2nd Round	Robinson fits the bill of what you need at the nickel back posi-tion in today’s NFL. Some of the most popular NFL route concepts feature crossers, in-breaking dig patterns. Of all the corners or nickel backs in this year’s draft class, he closes distance on these types of concepts with the most urgency.
72nd overall	Detroit Lions	Alim McNeill	6’2 317/DT-NG-NC State	72/2nd Round	McNeill has all of the tools to be a legitimate first and second down force as a zero-technique nose guard. His strength is sudden, particularly after establishing hand placement inside the numbers of centers or guards. The All-ACC defensive tackle can win laterally or to a spot, but there are questions about his ability to finish as a pass rusher.
73rd overall	Philadelphia Eagles (from Carolina Panthers)	Milton Williams	6’3 284/DT-DE Louisiana Tech	42/2nd Round	Due to Louisiana Tech’s lack of size on the three-man defensive front, he was used most frequently at the four-or-five-technique defensive end positions. He was also seen occasionally standing up to rush from an outside linebacker spot on third downs. There was a comfort level exhibited in his play to overpower some tackles and interior guards by dropping his shoulder, but he can play effectively with his hands to disengage.
74th overall	Washington Football Team	Benjamin St. Juste	6’3 205/CB-Minnesota, Michigan	192/4th Round	His footwork is clean, and this is why he was able to defend so effectively in the Red Zone. Ball skills are important. St. Juste didn’t have any interceptions, but he played through his inside shoulder to stay in-phase with wideouts in this part of the field.
75th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Osa Odighizuwa	6’2 280/DT-UCLA	106/3rd Round	His feel for blocking schemes is inconsistent and he is still searching for secondary pass rush counters. Balance is something that needs to be monitored moving forward. At 280 pounds with 10 3/4-inch hands, it seems that he is destined for a role at defensive end in a three-man front.
76th overall	New Orleans Saints (from New York Giants)	Paulson Adebo	6’1 198/CB-Stanford	47/2nd Round	Adebo put together one season of production in his career (2018) that essentially matched the career totals of the other highly-ranked cornerbacks in the 2021 NFL Draft. Aside from a Pro Day workout, he hadn’t been seen from NFL teams in person in over a year and a half. Staying more square -in press or off-man coverage- could help Adebo develop into a front line starter.
77th overall	Los Angeles Chargers	Josh Palmer	6’1 210/WR-Tennessee	118/3rd Round	Palmer displayed all of the necessary tools during his final two seasons to suggest he can become a better pro than collegian. His stride closed the cushion on de-fensive backs. Palmer exhibited the length/dexterity to snag passes away from his frame and won against players who are going to be NFL draft picks.
78th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Chazz Surratt	6’2 227/LB-North Carolina	132/3rd Round	Surratt is a converted QB and has limited reps as a linebacker although he did play safety in high school. The Tar Heels converted QB will be judged by his ability to learn the intricacies of the position, but in a short time he has shown the raw talent is there.
79th overall	Las Vegas Raiders	Malcolm Koonce	6’2 249/DE-OLB-Buffalo	102/3rd Round	Koonce, a former rugby star, was unable to perform for NFL teams this postseason after hurting his foot. After a couple of seasons where he was painstakingly difficult for offensive tackles to block, teams did not get to evaluate him further versus NFL-caliber competition. There are instances where teams can extrapolate his play against tougher offensive tackles (i.e. Penn State ‘19, Charlotte ‘19).
80th overall	Las Vegas Raiders	Divine Deablo	6'3 226/S-LB-Virginia Tech	78/3rd Round	Players like Deablo can become valuable pieces in today’s NFL. He may not quite have the fluidity to man a position off of the hash marks, but at 6-foot-3, 226 pounds, he may very well be positioned to play in sub-packages as a linebacker when teams use dime (six defensive backs) personnel. His experience will pay dividends, but he has to become more consistent as a tackler.
81st overall	Miami Dolphins	Hunter Long	6'5 253/TE-Boston College	116/3rd Round	Based on the Eagles’ run-heavy schemes, he often got behind defenses because he was used as a hand in the dirt tight end. A solid in-line blocker with good, but not great strength, Long exudes a smoothness on the field that translates to Sundays. We were not necessarily impressed with the suddenness in which he got of his breaks, but at his size he doesn’t have to really be open. His 83-inch wingspan affords him to only have to get a step on the defender on tightly contested throws.
82nd overall	Washington Football Team	Dyami Brown	6’1 189/WR-UNC	86/3rd Round	The former prep level 200-meter sprinter tracks the football over either shoulder and has shown good spatial awareness along the back end lines or sidelines. He has solid body control to adjust to poorly thrown passes. The biggest issue teams will have regarding the first-team All-ACC speedster revolves around the concentration lapses. They came in the form of penalties and dropped passes.
83rd overall	Carolina Panthers (from Chicago Bears)	Tommy Tremble	6'4 248/H-back-Notre Dame	79/3rd Round	Tremble’s tempo will catch the eye of an evaluator. Quite simply, he plays the game at the right clip. The team moved him around all over the place and probably could have used him much more in the passing game. He is fluid in-and-out of cuts and displays quickness to go along with very good foot speed. It will be interesting to see how Carolina decides to use his skill-set.
84th overall	Dallas Cowboys (from Philadelphia Eagles)	Chauncey Golston	6’4 268/DE-Iowa	74/3rd Round	Golston is easily one of the most valuable defensive lineman in this year’s draft. He can play the three-technique defensive tackle on passing downs, possible four-or-five-technique defensive end (three or four-man front) or rush as a stand-up outside linebacker. A veteran defensive coordinator may attempt to use the first-team All-Big Ten defender in all of the above-referenced roles.
85th overall	Green Bay Packers (from Tennessee Titans)	Amari Rodgers	5’9 212/WR-Clemson	99/3rd Round	Rodgers was just five months removed from a spring ACL tear (knee injury) in 2019, so did Tigers fans truly see the best he had to offer? If 2020 was any indication, then probably not. He looked stronger, more decisive and faster as a senior. In addition, his route-running savvy took another step forward. At 211 pounds, he is more than willing as a blocker, runs well after the catch and separates with timely cuts on option patterns.
86th overall	Minnesota Vikings (from New York Jets)	Wyatt Davis	6’3 315/OG-Ohio State	63/2nd Round	The Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year has paved the way for Ohio State’s running game and likely a spot for himself early in the 2021 NFL Draft. We were probably most impressed with his ability to re-anchor in the pass protection aspect of his game. His ability to play with a base gives him a chance versus some of the quicker leverage-based defensive tackles he will face at the next level.
87th overall	Pittsburgh Steelers	Kendrick Green	6'2 305/OL-Illinois	48/2nd Round	Green is one of the top interior offensive lineman available in this year’s class due to his combination of speed and pad level. The All-Big Ten guard excels with a low and balanced approach; particularly on combination blocks. He exhibits a level of savvy to cut-off backside defenders on run action away.
88th overall	San Francisco 49ers (from Los Angeles Rams)	Trey Sermon	6'0 216/RB-Ohio State, Oklahoma	57/2nd Round	His strength is very good, as is his ability to pick his feet up through trash around his ankles and feet. We expect him to improve in pass protection due to his natural lower body explosiveness. He has upside as a receiver out of the backfield because he can make the first tackler miss in space. Durability issues aside, Sermon has starting potential in the NFL as a Melvin Gordon III-type (Denver Broncos).
89th overall	Houston Texans (from Cleveland Browns)	Nico Collins	6’4 215/WR-Michigan	157/3rd Round	Above all else, it is his tremendous high-wire acts that grabbed the attention of scouts. In order to maximize those flurries of splashes, Collins has to play with more attention to detail.
90th overall	Minnesota Vikings	Patrick Jones II	6’4 268/DE-Pittsburgh	97/3rd Round	We think the first-team All-American’s future in the NFL is as either a right defensive end or 30-front rush outside linebacker. As an outside linebacker, he will be able to operate with a little room to set up his pass rush moves. The former Virginia high school product has a game that blossomed the last two years after serving an apprenticeship role back in 2018 (23 tackles, 4 QB sacks, 7.5 TFLs, FF).
91st overall	Cleveland Browns	Anthony Schwartz	6’0 186/WR-Auburn	297/4th Round	Schwartz displayed all of the foot speed (4.28) and flashes to get NFL teams excited if they project him as a gadget-type prospect. We think he can be used in fly motion on speed sweeps, speed shovel passes and even on end-arounds. Despite not doing it collegiately, he could be an option as a kickoff returner.
92nd overall	Tennessee Titans (from Green Bay Packers)	Monty Rice	6’0 235/LB-Georgia	93/3rd Round	There were still the flash outstanding athletic plays from Rice in 2020 (see Tennessee), but a nagging foot injury hampered his effectiveness for stretches. The overall range and speed in his play are both in place. Rice plays a little bit narrow in his stance and tends to get too thick versus offensive linemen.
93rd overall	Buffalo Bills	Spencer Brown	6’8 314/OT-Northern Iowa	100/3rd Round	The former eight-man Iowa high school football standout transitioned impressively to 11-man football. He’s gained nearly 100 pounds (94) since his high school days. His chest exposure is simply due to leverage, but his ability to sit down can be seen in the pre-snap, when his body is lower than the rest of his offensive line.
94th overall	Baltimore Ravens	Ben Cleveland	6’6 354/OT-Georgia	92/3rd Round	In today’s NFL, however, he is going to have to make sure that he becomes more efficient in pass protection. This becomes even more paramount when you weigh in the 355-pound range. It is at least pretty well-distributed on his 6-foot-6 frame. His experience and anticipation of how teams would attack on line games was much better in 2020.
95th overall	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	Robert Hainsey	6’4 302/OG-Notre Dame	127/3rd Round	During school, he often won with the shock in his punch on the perimeter. He would get into trouble with pad level (where he could get out-leveraged) or when he stopped his feet (forcing him to crossover in pass pro). Overall, his down-to-down consistency stood out in the film viewed.
96th overall	New England Patriots	Ronnie Perkins	6’2 1/2” 253/DE-OLB-Oklahoma	65/2nd Round	Standing 6-foot-2, he is able to play with a forward lean while keeping good balance. Rarely is he extended too far over his toes. Academic warrior. Plays in a three-point, two-point or four-point stances on the edge.
97th overall	Los Angeles Chargers	Tre’ McKitty	6'4 246/TE-H-back-Georgia, FSU	193/4th Round	McKitty is a muscular H-back/TE-type who has moved around in a variance of roles for two different programs. We have seen him understand angles in the blocking game, show run after the catch skill and attack the seams of defenses. Despite never being the lead receiver at either Georgia or FSU, McKitty has frequently been a legitimate third down target.
98th overall	Denver Broncos	Quinn Meinerz	6’3 320/OL-Wisconsin-Whitewater	225/4th Round	There is no doubt that his explosion, play strength and even hand usage can impress down-to-down. However, the top-heavy nature finds him on the ground when the detonations are launched at the wrong entry points to connect on opponents. Finding a balance will be key for Meinerz whether he stays at offensive guard or moves to center, where he performed admirably in the postseason.
99th overall	Dallas Cowboys	Nahshon Wright	6’4 188/CB-Oregon State	357/5th Round	Wright is a tall corner with good feet and a solid backpedal. His challenge will be to constrict his movements in tight areas when it is time to transition versus quicker receivers. For him to do that, he must find a happy medium between being comfortable and not playing too low. His feet don't always stay planted in the ground when flipping to open or break at 45-or-90-degree angles.
100th overall	Tennessee Titans	Elijah Molden	5'9 1/2" 192/Nickel-Washington	74-2nd Round	Numbers may not tell the entire story for Molden, who seems to be a player capable of filling a myriad of roles for an NFL defense. Despite being primarily a nickel back during school (even on first/second down), there are possibilities for him working off the hash. Molden has very good quickness, change of direction and elite eye speed.
101st overall	Detroit Lions	Ifeatu Melifonwu	6’3 213/CB-Syracuse	187/3rd Round	His tackling was solid for the most part, but he did not attack stalk blocks with a dominant mentality. Overall, Melifonwu played with awareness and attacked the three-step passing game. After a solid Senior Bowl week, he should hear his name called early on Day 3 of the draft process.
102nd overall	San Francisco 49ers	Ambry Thomas	6’0 187/CB-Michigan	53/2nd Round	On the outside, he needs to be technique-sound because he is not necessarily a long corner. Thomas has lost quite a bit of practice time over the past two seasons and the fact that he has been able to still perform at a high level bodes well for his future prospects.
103rd overall	Los Angeles Rams	Ernest Jones	6'2 230/LB-South Carolina	258/4th Round	Jones, a junior-entry in the 2021 NFL Draft, has many tools worth taking a long look at for NFL teams. One of the things he has to improve at is getting offensive linemen off of his defensive linemen. We think he would fit best as a run-and-chase Will linebacker at the next level because he still has to room to grow reading the triangle.
104th overall	Baltimore Ravens	Brandon Stephens	6’1 219/CB-SMU	277/4th Round	Stephens is a former running back who transitioned to cornerback in college and did so admirably. One of the things that makes that transition so hard is you’re seeing the game from the outside-in as opposed to inside-out. Technically, he is going to have to work on some things if he plans to stay on the perimeter.
105th overall	Denver Broncos	Baron Browning	6’3 240/LB-Ohio State	26/2nd Round	Browning is a prospect who can rush versus offensive tackles off the edge, play the exchange linebacker and line up over tight ends. As a pass rusher out of his two-point stance on the edge, his speed can be too much to handle for offensive tackles.

Run-of-the-mill? Davis Mills- Stanford QB

April 13, 2021 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

15 Davis Mills

6’4 217 QB-Junior

Stanford

Davis Mills could be an intriguing middle round prospect. Can the Stanford Cardinal quarterback be as effective as former greats from Palo Alto like Jim Plunkett and Andrew Luck?

What makes this player NASTY…(Strengths): Good ball handler. Smooth, compact delivery. Gets the ball out of his hand quickly on possession routes. Forgets his mistakes within a game and bounces back (UCLA ’20). Extends the ball away from his frame on ball fakes. Exhibits relaxed quiet feet before throwing nine routes outside the numbers with touch. From under center, he can turn his back to the defense on seven-step drops and fire deep comebacks accurately (3rd QTR/7:23, Northwestern ’19). Keeps a shoulder-width base and can make these passes on his third hitch in the pocket. Places back-shoulder passes to his No. 2 slot WR (4th QTR, TD, UCLA ’20) or to the X-WR on fades vs. tight man coverage (3rd QTR, Northwestern ’19; OT, UCLA ’20). Projects with touch throwing the ball in the middle of the field. Capable of making the free rusher miss and then scrambling for yardage (3rd and 10, 3rd QTR, California ’19). Has good feet speed running to the corner to outrun defenses. Projects with touch throwing the ball in the middle of the field. Described as “even-keeled” by coaches (https://www.stanforddaily.com/2019/11/14/mills-to-start-against-wazzu-as-injuries-continue-to-plague-cardinal/). Led a game-winning drive vs. Oregon State in 2020 and also a fourth quarter comeback vs. UCLA in 2020.

Weaknesses: He has left some layups on the field (3rd and 5, 2nd QTR/5:01, California ’19). Some of his double posts to the No. 1 WR don’t get up-and-down in the middle of the field (3rd QTR, Northwestern ’19). Loses some passes on deep over (Dover) concepts (INT, 3rd QTR/11:08, California ’19). Locks in on his targets and takes safeties to the ball (INT, 3rd QTR, California ’19). Fooled by UCLA CB Jay Shaw in a two-deep trap coverage and threw a hitch (five-yard stop) into the trap (INT-TD, 4th QTR, UCLA ’20). Time management is still a work in progress. Needs more reps. He had two delay of game penalties vs. California in 2019. Eyes drop in the pocket too soon when reading through coverage (4th QTR, Northwestern ’19). Knee injuries hampered Mills for most of his first two seasons at Stanford. Also missed time after suffering an injury against Washington in 2019. In high school, he did not play in the 2017 U.S. Army All-American game due to injury.

Other Notes: Attended Greater Atlanta Christian HS (Ga.) and was ranked as the nation’s No. 1 QB ahead of Tua Tagovailloa and Jake Fromm in the 247Sports class of 2017 • 2016 Nike Sparq testing results: 4.32 20-yd SS, 33″ VJ • 2018: Appeared in two games • 2019 (8 gms): Completed 158-of-241 passes (66%) for 1,960 yards, 11 TDs and 5 INTs; 44 yards rushing; TD reception • 327 yards passing (55%), TD vs. Colorado on 11/14/20 • 2020 (5 gms): Completed 129-of-195 passes (66.2%) for 1,508 yards, 7 TDs and 3 INTs • Career Stats: Passed for 3,468 yards (65.5%), 18 TDs, 8 INTs; 86 yards rushing, 3 TDs • Stanford Pro Day: 9 1/2″ hands, 31 3/8″ arms, 77 3/4″ wingspan, 4.78 40-yd, 32″ VJ, 9’2″ BJ, 6.95 3-cone, 4.4 20-yd SS

Time to get NASTY (Our Summary): There was a reason that former Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello left the Cardinal program for Mississippi State. Some people may point to injury, but in reality it was due to the emergence of Mills. After Costello’s injury in 2019, Mills could not truly grab the job and he himself went down to injury. The trend of injuries dates back to his high school days, where he was once ranked ahead of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in 247Sports’ 2017 rankings. So what does he bring to the table? Mills is an inexperienced quarterback with a smooth delivery, good mobility and an even-keeled nature. That calm in the face of the storm helped him deliver after falling behind in games as a junior.

2020 NBA Draft Preview: Vernon Carey Jr. 6’10 270 C- Duke

July 20, 2020 Troy Jefferson Leave a comment

What makes this player NASTY…(Strengths): Carey has wide shoulders and should be able to finish through contact at the next level. On tape, there weren’t other centers that pushed Carey around on the block or looked as strong as he did in the paint. He showed himself well, employing a drop step against Georgetown’s 7-foot center Omer Yurtseven in an early season matchup at Madison Square Garden. Rebound machine. Averaged almost nine boards in 24 minutes of action. Shows promise with his ability to pass from the elbow (Miami, ‘20).

Weaknesses:

Carey is strong but can he play effectively in the NBA at 270 pounds? The Duke center averaged 24 minutes a game and he looked on tape like he could’ve played more if he wasn’t fatigued. It’s no coincidence that Carey scored 26 points and 13 rebounds against Pittsburgh when he played 35 minutes. The more he plays, the more effective a player he is. Left-hand dominant. The Florida native is best as a back to the basket big man, has the modern NBA game passed him by?

Other Notes:

Attended the University School of Nova Southeastern University (Fla.) and was named Florida’s Mr. Basketball in 2017 and 2018.
Father, Vernon, played offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins
Named to the 2019-2020 All ACC Freshman team and was named the conference’s Rookie of the Year
2019-2020 (31 games, 30 sts, Consensus 2nd Team All-American): 17.8 PPG, 58% FG, 38% 3-PT, 67% FT, 8.8 RPG, 1 APG

Time to get NASTY (Our Summary):

Staying in shape and out-hustling the NBA competition will be how Carey survives in the NBA. If the former Duke freshman can perfect running rim-to-rim and sealing the opposing team’s center underneath the basket, he has a chance at a long career. Carey showed he can maneuver from the elbow so there is a possibility he could play some power forward. His game is reminiscent of former Michigan State Spartan Zach Randolph. Randolph enjoyed his best success defensively when paired with a shot blocking center: Theo Ratliff (Portland) and Marc Gasol (Memphis). Carey would benefit equally with rim protection. Right now, it’s hard to find a first round fit for the center.

DraftNasty spotlights Vernon Carey, Jr. PF/C-Duke

May 30, 2020 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

Duke PF/C Vernon Carey, Jr. was the ACC’s Rookie of the Year in 2020 after averaging nearly 18 points and nine rebounds per game. In the process, he earned NABC National Freshman of the Year honors and consensus second-team All-American honors. Carey, Jr. is following in the footsteps of his father, Vernon, Sr., an eight-year NFL veteran and former first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Carey, Jr. was named the 2020 ACC Rookie of the Year.

NFL, 2020, 2020, Articles, NFL Draft Recap, AFC East

2020 NFL Draft recap: AFC East

April 29, 2020 Corey Chavous Leave a comment

Buffalo Bills	Notable pick: Bills HC Sean McDermott has had success with bigger defensive ends and Epenesa could add to the trend. The team needs him to produce. They lost both Jordan Phillips (Cardinals) and Shaq Lawson (Dolphins) in the offseason. The pair accounted for 16 of the team’s 44 sacks in 2019.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
2 (54)	A.J. Epenesa	6’5 275 DE-Iowa	29/2^nd Round	Epenesa’s technical prowess overcomes just okay burst off the edge. The former U.S. Army All-American brings outstanding size to the table.
3 (86)	Zack Moss	5’10 226 RB-Utah	62/2nd Round	Moss is the prototype strong runner for inclement weather in December and January. His health has always been his biggest knock.
4 (128)	Gabriel Davis	6’2 216 WR-UCF	115/3^rd Round	Davis’ deceptive gait and unorthodox style accompanies a 6-foot-2, 216-pound frame. He proved adept on double moves and boxing out the opposition in school.
5 (167)	Jake Fromm	6’2 219 QB-Georgia	111/3^rd Round	Fromm finished his career with an impressive 78:18 TD/INT ratio. If he can handle the windy conditions of Buffalo, he may be able to compete to backup incumbent starter Josh Allen. Davis Webb and Matt Barkley are also in the mix, so there are no guarantees for Fromm.
6 (188)	Tyler Bass	6’0 200 PK-Georgia Southern	380/5th Round	Game-winning kicks have been a part of Bass’ portfolio in school. He was also pretty good in rainy weather. The weather he is about to face is going to be an entirely new challenge, but his strong leg may be up to the task.
6 (207)	Isaiah Hodgins	6’4 210 WR-Oregon State	80/2nd Round	Like Davis, Hodgins isn’t necessarily flashy but efficient. The 6-foot-4 wideout is smooth getting in-and-out of patterns and can make the contested catch. To make the team, he needs to play stronger versus physical coverage.
7 (239)	Dane Jackson	6’0 187 CB-Pittsburgh	207/4th Round	Jackson is smart, tough and generally fluid. Despite weighting in the 185-pound range, he could get looks at a nickel spot if he cannot keep up with speed on the edge. The team’s coverage style gives him a chance to make the team.

Moss rushed for over 4,000 yards (4,067) and scored 41 touchdowns in school.

Miami Dolphins	Notable pick: Hunt did not get to show off his impressive physical tools in the postseason. He is a mammoth tackle with positive movement and the right temperament to surprise early in an NFL training camp.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	Nasty’ Take:
1 (5)	Tua Tagovailoa	6’0 217 QB-Alabama	37/2nd Round	This pick is as much about long-term upside as it is 2020. With Ryan Fitzpatrick back, (as well as Josh Rosen), the team does not have to rush Tagovailoa into the mix. Fans yearning to see the former Heisman finalist could speed up the process.
1 (18)	Austin Jackson	6’5 322 OT-USC	61/2nd Round	Jackson legitimately was one of the most athletic offensive or defensive lineman in this year’s draft class. Getting his technique under control will be key. If he makes a big step in training camp, it would not be a shock to see him as an opening day starter.
1 (30)	Noah Igbinoghene	5’10 198 CB/All-purpose-Auburn	157/3rd Round	One of Igbinoghene’s best characteristics -kickoff return capability- may not be needed unless KR Jakeem Grant goes down to injury (as he did late last season). Where he will be needed is in nickel defenses, where he will battle current third corner Cordrea Tankersley (also returning from injury) for playing time.
2 (39)	Robert Hunt	6’5 323 OT-Louisiana-Lafayette	103/3rd Round	Hunt has made starts at LG, LT and RT. His near 11-inch hands deliver decisive punches to the opposition. He is also capable of surprising second-level LBs with his quickness on combination blocks. He has starting capability early in his career, but his durability came into question in 2019.
2 (56)	Raekwon Davis	6’7 311 DT-Alabama	76/2nd Round	The former Crimson Tide defensive stalwart was never a slippery defender, but he did find a way to notch 8.5 QB sacks back in 2017. He is more of a stack-and-shed two-gap defender with enough strength to be an effective part of the team’s rotation in 2020.
3 (70)	Brandon Jones	5’11 198 S-Texas	123/3^rd Round	Jones was a team leader, active tackler and decent punt returner in school. He does not carry a big frame but throws his body around. The big question concerning Jones will be his ability to stay upright with his style of play.
4 (111)	Solomon Kindley	6’3 337 OG-Georgia	284/4th Round	Kindley reinforces the belief that the Dolphins will continue to commit big athletic bodies to its offensive line. The former three-star recruit is a grappler with the right mentality to send messages in the run game. He was a big factor in the ‘Dawgs physical running attack.
5 (154)	Jason Strowbridge	6’5 275 DE-North Carolina	165/3rd Round	Strowbridge’s upper body movements are well-synchronized when he times snap counts. He is more fluid than one would expect at 275 pounds, and he projects favorably in the multiple fronts the Dolphins will employ week-to-week.
5 (164)	Curtis Weaver	6’2 265 DE-Boise State	75/2nd Round	Weaver’s underwhelming physical traits may have caused a precipitous slide in the draft, but his skill at flipping his hips resulted in ascending sack production each year in school. He has to improve defending the run.
6 (185)	Blake Ferguson	6’3 229 LS-LSU	573/7th Round	Ferguson- the nation’s No. 1 long snapper coming out of high school- more than lived up to his recruiting hype. The two-time team captain is capable of speeding up his long snaps versus pressure looks.
7 (246)	Malcolm Perry	5’9 186 All-Purpose-Navy	277/4th Round	Perry rushed for over 2,000 yards as an option quarterback in 2019, but he earned plenty of repetitions for the Midshipmen as a slot back and WR during his career. Aside from averaging 21.4 yards per catch on 22 receptions, he also averaged 24.6 yards per kickoff return.

Miami Dolphins fifth-round pick Curtis Weaver finished his career as the all-time leader in sacks (34) in Mountain West Conference history.

New England Patriots	Notable pick: Jennings didn’t dominate rushing the passer in school, but he did dominate in other ways. His 18 pass breakups are an eye-opening total for an outside linebacker.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
2 (37)	Kyle Dugger	6’1 217 S-Lenoir-Rhyne	36/2nd Round	Dugger has all of the tools to develop into a multi-purpose weapon for the Patriots defense. If needed, he can play linebacker, a big nickel, off the hash safety and even return kicks. As the team continues to redefine its size in the secondary, the former Division II All-American seems like the perfect fit.
2 (60)	Josh Uche	6’1 245 LB-Michigan	70/2nd Round	For a player as talented as Uche, he didn’t play as much as one would have expected at Michigan. When he did finally hit the field full-time in 2019, the physical skills stood out.
3 (87)	Anfernee Jennings	6’2 256 OLB-Alabama	107/3rd Round	Jennings brings more versatility to the table than some anticipate and his hand-eye coordination is elite. While not a finished product as a pass rusher, he has an innate feel for rushing from multiple spots.
3 (91)	Devin Asiasi	6’3 257 TE-UCLA	197/4th Round	Asiasi averaged 104 receiving yard per game in the last three games of ihs career at UCLA. He is capable of working the seams of the field.
3 (101)	Dalton Keene	6’4 253 TE-Virginia Tech	137/3^rd Round	As Keene improved as a blocker, his receiving skills did not diminish. He has handled a number of his blocking assignments on the move. His straight-line speed and upside after the catch ranks as a positive for the Patriots.
5 (159)	Justin Rohrwasser	6’3 230 PK-Marshall	N/A	Rohrwasser’s leg strength is adequate but his accuracy (just nine missed field goals in two years) was perhaps more impressive. Most of his misses during school came in the latter portion of seasons. He is capable of placing the ball directionally on kickoffs.
6 (182)	Michael Onwenu	6’3 344 Michigan	203/4th Round	A true road-grading offensive guard with power, Onwenu’s 11-inch hands are hard to get away from once he gains grasp of the opponent. The former DL has the mindset to dominate opponents, but he has to keep his weight under control.
6 (195)	Justin Herron	6’4 308 OG-Wake Forest	151/3rd Round	Herron- a collegiate left tackle- impressed during the 2020 Senior Bowl with his work at offensive guard. He provides the team with positional flex capability due to outstanding feet.
6 (204)	Caash Maluia	6’0 248 LB-Wyoming	N/A	Maluia is thick enough to handle being uncovered, and he was a four-year contributor in a number of facets for the Cowboys.
7 (230)	Dustin Woodard	6’2 291 OC-Memphis	478/6th Round	The team has had success with smaller offensive guards and centers in the past. The reason? Mobility. Woodard was effective on the move as a puller way back in 2016, when he played guard.

New England Patriots sixth-round pick Cassh Maluia posted seven tackles for loss and intercepted two passes for the Cowboys in 2019.

New York Jets	Notable picks: Davis brings capability to the Jets in multi-dimensional nickel packages. If he can play off the hash, then the Jets will be able to move around multi-dimensional safety Jamal Adams even more down-to-down.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (11)	Mekhi Becton	6’7 364 OT-Louisville	1/1^st Round	Becton will be tasked with the huge responsibility of keeping starting QB Sam Darnold comfortable in the pocket. If he can execute the task, then he could soon be a Pro Bowler.
2 (59)	Denzel Mims	6’3 207 WR-Baylor	42/2nd Round	Mims may not have gone as high as he would have liked to go in the draft, but he now has a legitimate chance to turn into a team’s top receiving threat early in his career. He is a good alternative in the current lineup of Jets receivers.
3 (68)	Ashtyn Davis	6’1 202 S-Cal	99/3rd Round	Davis’ foot speed shined as a kickoff returner and when running down plays in pursuit. One of the best things he did at Cal was disguise coverage in a scheme that has some similarities to the Jets.
3 (79)	Jabari Zuniga	6’3 253 DE-Florida	182/4th Round	While Zuniga did move around effectively in school on a number of downs, he is going to get every opportunity to do some work from a stand-up or three-point position in Gregg Williams’ multitude of defensive looks. Staying healthy, which he didn’t do in 2019, is a big key.
4 (120)	Lamical Perine	5’11 216 RB-Florida	146/3rd Round	Perine’s tools include the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield effortlessly. Combined with his hard-charging style, he could become a nice change-up for Le’Veon Bell.
4 (125)	James Morgan	6’4 228 QB-FIU	127/3rd Round	Morgan’s mental aptitude is perhaps on par with his physical tools. His arm strength gives him a legitimate opportunity to battle David Fales for the team’s backup spot.
4 (129)	Cameron Clark	6’4 308 OT-Charlotte	126/3rd Round	The two-time team captain and 35-game starter is an impressive run blocker who is still growing as a pass protector. The 6-foot-4-inch tackle has 11-inch hands and an 83-inch wingspan. We think he can backup at least four spots on the offensive line while competing for a starting spot at guard.
5 (158)	Bryce Hall	6’1 202 CB-Virginia	105/3rd Round	Hall’s instincts as a corner are first-rate but he wasn’t able to answer the questions about recovery speed in the postseason due to still recovering from midseason surgery on a broken fibula. The effectiveness of his playing style will depend on his eye control.
6 (191)	Braden Mann	5’11 198 P-Texas A&M	335/5th Round	His spiral punts get into the 70-yard distances when he gets hold of punts and his hang times have gotten into the 4.8-second range in the film viewed. A good athlete, Mann saved a TD on a kickoff return by Alabama’s Henry Ruggs III in 2019 and posted seven tackles this past season. Mann has to get better as a directional punter.

New York Jets second-round pick Denzel Mims posted 1,000-yard receiving seasons in two of his final three seasons at Baylor.

May 3, 2019 Neverthere Leave a comment

Williams led the SEC in passes defended in 2018 after posting career-highs in interceptions (4) and pass break-ups (14).

New England Patriots	Notable picks: Williams could be a chess piece when the team has to defend the Travis Kelce-types at tight end and the A.J. Green-types at wide receiver. Cajuste has more talent than his draft position indicates, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him push for playing time. Bailey will challenge incumbent Ryan Allen in one of the training camp battles to watch. Harry’s size is similar to Josh Gordon.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (32)	N’Keal Harry	WR/Arizona State	65/2nd Round	Harry won’t be asked to take the top off of defenses, but he will be tasked with adjusting to a variety of passes outside the numbers. We think some of his best work came in the slot, where his superior run after the catch skill comes into full focus. His overall style fits the offense and adds a bit of pizzazz.
2 (45)	Joejuan Williams	CB/ Vanderbilt	31/2nd Round	Williams will be able to match up with bigger WRs one week and then can cover the TE the next week, if needed. While his 40-yard dash times didn’t impress in the postseason, he did demonstrate strength and explosion. He was arguably the SEC’s most competitive corner in 2018.
3 (77)	Chase Winovich	DE-OLB/ Michigan	93/3rd Round	Winovich provides a versatile nature capable of rushing from a number of spots. He plays longer than his length would suggest and is adept at causing havoc with his hand in the dirt.
3 (87)	Damien Harris	RB/Alabama	56/2nd Round	Harris will have a role in this offense but it may be according to game plan. The Patriots continue to evolve into a team capable of running the ball to take pressure off of Brady. He will compete for snaps with Rex Burkhead behind 2018 rookie sensation Sony Michel.
3 (101) Compensatory pick acquired from Los Angeles via New England	Yodny Cajuste	OT/West Virginia	67/2nd Round	If not for his injury issues, Cajuste likely would have challenged for a spot in the second round. Many of the DL we talked to said Cajuste was the best tackle they faced in the Big 12. He provides insurance at the outside tackle spots, particularly if Isaiah Wynn is not fully recovered from his knee injury.
4 (118) Acquired from Los Angeles	Hjalte Froholdt	OG/ Arkansas	302/4th Round	Froholdt’s mobility ranks as one of his strengths, as does his upper body strength and ability to latch. The former DL’s lack of length is the one reason he lasted this long, but he has experience at both guard and center.
4 (133) Acquired from Los Angeles	Jarrett Stidham	QB/Auburn	114/3rd Round	Stidham’s 2017 performance against Alabama landed the Tigers in the SEC Championship game. We spotlighted his upside in our feature on him in the 2018 Music City Bowl.
5 (159) Acquired from Minnesota via Seattle	Byron Cowart	DL/ Maryland, Auburn	251/4th Round	Cowart’s dramatic improvement after transferring to Maryland came after the former five-star recruit didn’t have a lot of success with the Auburn Tigers. His size affords him the team the flexibility to line him up at the zero, one, two, three or four-technique DL spots. He is an ideal scheme fit for the team.
5 (163)	Jake Bailey	P/Stanford	401/5th Round	Bailey -our top-ranked punter- pinned opponents in school, never had a punt blocked and flipped the field with directional punts that still produced hang time averages in the 4.8-to-5.0-second range. In addition, he may be able to handle kickoff duties if needed.
7 (252)	Ken Webster	CB-Ole Miss	294/4th Round	The knee injury from 2016 lingered into other ailments but Webster seemed to recover slowly in 2018. At his best, he is an explosive athlete capable of challenging WRs in press-man. Could he be a late-round find for the team?

Wilkins (No. 42 pictured) moved around quite a bit in Clemson’s schemes and is likely to do much of the same for the Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins	Notable picks: The Dolphins draft is required to add Josh Rosen, who they traded their 62nd overall pick in the second round for while giving up a 2020 fifth-round pick. Add Wilkins and Deiter, two potential starters, and you have a pretty good start to the proceedings. The two final picks, Cox and Gaskin, both have questions to answer about their potential contributions on special teams.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (13)	Christian Wilkins	Clemson	12/1st Round	Wilkins’ positional versatility could very well shine in Brian Flores’ multiple schemes. His flexibility is outstanding, as is his ability to win going sideways.
3 (78)	Michael Deiter	OG/ Wisconsin	129/3rd Round	It can be argued that Deiter can provide backup options at three-to-four spots on an offensive line. He frequently wins wrestling matches once he latches the opponent.
5 (151)	Andrew Van Ginkel	LB/ Wisconsin	513/6th Round	Van Ginkel is an above average blitzer with solid flexibility. There are still questions regarding his efficiency as an exchange linebacker. We think he can be a core special teams player in Year 1. It may be his road to earning a roster spot.
6 (202) Acquired from New Orleans	Isaiah Prince	OT/Ohio State	219/4th Round	Prince’s length (35 1/2-inch arms) allowed him to cover up for a number of technique errors on the perimeter in school. Consistency is the word that comes to mind when evaluating whether or not he can earn a roster spot. His best work comes as a run blocker.
7 (233) Acquired from Tennessee	Chandler Cox	FB/Auburn	332/4th Round	Cox demonstrated a unique feel for hitting opponents on the move from a number of spots when blocking for a multitude of runners. The former U.S. All-American started 41 games for the Tigers, but contributed just one career tackle.
7 (234) Acquired from Cleveland via Pittsburgh	Myles Gaskin	RB/ Washington	130/3rd Round	Aside from question marks surrounding his size, Gaskin’s high volume (945 career carries) in school likely caused him to slide into the seventh round. Despite weight in the 205-pound range, Gaskin has contact balance. He did 24 repetitions at 225 pounds.

Singletary rushed for 66 touchdowns over a three-year period. He possesses outstanding short-area creativity.

Buffalo Bills	Notable picks: The first two picks, Oliver and Ford, chart a direction for the team. Both players have a physical presence at their respective positions. If Singletary gives the team the juice expected as a backup, then the rest of the draft could simply be evaluated for the purposes of depth. With that said, Knox could become a starter in due time. Of their Day 3 picks, it could be argued that Johnson has a chance to become the best of the group.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (9)	Ed Oliver	DT/Houston	4/1st Round	Oliver’s pad level and leverage could be a perfect fit as an under tackle in the team’s 4-3 schemes under Sean McDermott.
2 (38) Acquired from Oakland via Jacksonville	Cody Ford	OG/ Oklahoma	23/2nd Round	Ford’s finish drew high marks from several evaluators, but the injury history is rather extensive. The Bills may end up slotting him opposite left tackle Dion Dawkins or they could decide to move him to the guard spot. He’s started at either spot in school. Playing lower will only help his development.
3 (74)	Devin Singletary	RB/FAU	105/3rd Round	Singletary’s low center of gravity and short area change of direction draws comparisons to the Pro Bowl running back in front of him, LeSean McCoy. Learning the nuances of the game as a smaller back from an All-Pro will likely aid the former Owl’s development.
3 (96) Compensatory pick acquired via Washington	Dawson Knox	TE/Ole Miss	134/3rd Round	A quick glance at Knox’s statistics don’t take into account that he had three receivers with significantly more targets. He runs in the low 4.6-range and plays at a fast clip. At 254 pounds, he can line up with his hand in the dirt or flex-out (as he did quite a bit at Ole Miss) for the Bills.
5 (147)	Vosean Joseph	LB/Florida	379/5th Round	Joseph’s overall lack of size showed up on occasion but he did impress as his career went along when it came to matching routes. He is also a positive blitz threat (four sacks in 2018).
6 (181)	Jaquan Johnson	S/ Miami (Fla.)	176/3rd Round	Johnson was dinged for his lack of timed speed, but he generally played faster than his teammates on Saturday afternoons. Something to ponder is whether the hamstring injury that forced him to miss time in 2018 lingered over into the postseason. His instincts and special teams contributions in school only add to his overall value.
7 (225)	Darryl Johnson	DE/North Carolina A&T	481/6th Round	Johnson didn’t stand out against ECU tackle and 2020 NFL prospect D’Ante Smith, but even in that game he displayed his long nature. The MEAC Defensive Player of the Year finished with 10.5 QB sacks and 19 TFLs in 2018.
7 (228)	Tommy Sweeney	TE/Boston College	262/4th Round	Sweeney’s portfolio dates back to the 2016 campaign, when he was used as a Swiss army knife. He can align as a FB, Y-tight end or H-back depending on formation. He will likely end up getting snaps on the punt unit, where he will have to prove capable of running down effectively in coverage.

Polite (No. 99 pictured) forced six fumbles for the Gators in 2018 and finished third in the SEC in tackles for losses (17.5).

New York Jets	Notable picks: The Jets needed to come out of this draft with a legitimate pass rusher after Jordan Jenkins and Henry Anderson tied for the team lead in sacks a year ago. There has been talk of Gregg Williams sticking with the 30-front scheme that has fit the Jets for the better part of over a decade. Expect to see elements of his 4-3 background, but most of the remaining parts and additions suggest elements of the 3-4 defense will be in play. At offensive tackle, Edoga will have the opportunity to challenge for playing time.
Round, Selection,	Player	School	DN Big Board Rank/ Grade	‘Nasty’ Take:
1 (3)	Quinnen Williams	DT/Alabama	1/1st Round	Williams is able to attack gaps two-to-three gaps over with outstanding lateral agility. Despite being a one-year wonder, he did post 6.5 tackles for loss in a secondary role back in 2017.
3 (68)	Jachai Polite	DE-OLB/Florida	103/3rd Round	Polite uses a combination of inside posts with clubs, dips his weight and can take his surface area away from tackles. Nevertheless, his power component is largely unearthed at this stage of his development. In 2018, he posted 17.5 tackles for loss while forcing six fumbles because he is tough to grasp.
3 (92) Acquired from the Minnesota Vikings	Chuma Edoga	OT/USC	121/3rd Round	Edoga’s disposition on the field is probably a bit more erect than what you’d expect from a 6-foot-3-inch tackle, but his light-footed nature draws high marks. His profile matches the team’s current starting left tackle Kelvin Beacham.
4 (121)	Trevon Wesco	TE/West Virginia	392/5th Round	The former high school QB has all of the intangibles to continue to improve as a receiving threat. His 267-pound frame was often used as an insert blocker in the Mountaineers rushing attack.
5 (157)	Blake Cashman	LB/ Minnesota	187/3rd Round	Cashman’s breakout year came at just the right time, as he forged his way into the NFL Draft. We think he is one of the top kickoff cover men in the 2019 NFL Draft. His instincts either off the ball or when rushing downhill are solid.
6 (196) Acquired from Oakland via Chicago Bears	Blessaun Austin	CB/Rutgers	151/3rd Round	The Jets didn’t travel far to grab the former New York high school product. Despite two consecutive years of knee injuries, he still finished his career with four interceptions and 19 career pass break-ups. Few cornerbacks get their hands on wide receivers with the efficiency of Austin. If he can return to full health, he’ll have a chance to earn playing time.
