- Green Bay Packers: Vince Biegel, OLB, Wisconsin
Draftniks like Biegel’s pass rushing skills off the edge. He is reportedly a high character player and that could help him fill out his frame. The biggest knock on him is size.
- Minnesota Vikings: Jaleel Johnson, DT, Iowa
Johnson will probably be added to the Vikings interior rotation. His anchor is his weakness, but there are some encouraging signs about him rushing the passer from the interior.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma
Westbrook is considered a second round value as a receiver, but dropped to the fourth round because of domestic violence issues against the mother of his children.
- Seattle Seahawks: Tedric Thompson, FS, Colorado
Thompson won’t start right away for the legion of boom, but his potential as a ballhawking safety make him a potential free safety of the future for the Seahawks.
- Chicago Bears: Eddie Jackson, FS, Alabama
Jackson will be more of a backup for the Chicago Bears, but his versatility as a former corner and punt return capabilities make him an addition to the roster.
- Los Angeles Chargers: Rayshawn Jenkins, S, Miami
Jenkins is a very raw player with good measurables. His value will come as a special teamer to start who can probably play both safety spots.
114: Washington Redskins: Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
Perine is a good value pick at this spot. I think his immediate value is on early downs and goal-line situations. He is a tough runner who can bang out the extra yard. Played with Joe Mixon at Oklahoma.
- Arizona Cardinals: Dorian Johnson, G, Pittsburgh
Dorian Johnson can carve out a career as a solid guard in the NFL. There is a health situation with his liver that caused him to drop, so that is something to keep an eye on. Johnson may start early depending on how things shake out.
- Carl Lawson could present excellent value for the Bengals.
Cincinnati Bengals: Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
If Lawson was healthy, I consider him a first round edge rusher. The fact that he dropped this far indicates that his medicals are not good.
- Los Angeles Rams: Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M
The Rams continue to help Jared Goff with a target who is a deep threat and can come up with contested catches. St. Louis is doing what they can to help Goff succeed.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina
I like this pick by the Eagles as Hollins is sure to contribute early and well on kick coverage. He is the only four-time team captain in this draft and has the measurables to develop into a talented passing option.
- Chicago Bears: Tarik Cohen, RB, North Carolina A&T
Cohen is your typical scat back with little size, but excellent speed. He will be a change of pace back and help in the return game. It seems every year a couple of teams try for a Darren Sproles type.
- Minnesota Vikings: Ben Gedeon, LB, Michigan
Gedeon gets on the team as a special teamer, but the Vikings will probably give him a shot to play linebacker as it is not a position of strength for them.
- San Francisco 49ers: Joe Williams, RB, Utah
Joe Williams has great speed as he ran a 4.35 forty yard dash at the combine. He did quit football for likely family reasons, but did come back.
- Baltimore Ravens: Nico Siragusa, G, SDSU
This is a good guard pick for Ravens. Siragusa does not succeed as a pass blocker, but he is a strong run blocker in a power scheme. There is no relation to Tony Siragusa.
- Washington Redskins: Montae Nicholson, S, Michigan State
Has the measurables teams are looking for in a safety. His injury is a question mark, but his fourth round selection suggests it is healing and that he will be ready for the season. Needs to improve his tackling.
- Detriot Lions: Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB, Tennessee
This pick may be for a hybrid player for the Lions. Reeves-Maybin may be a linebacker/safety on dime packages and will also contribute on special teams. Said to be a very active player.
- Los Angeles Rams: Samson Ebukam, DE, Eastern Washington
Ebukam is a raw pick who may develop into something on the edge. He is explosive off the line and will immediately contribute on special teams.
- Cleveland Browns: Howard Wilson, CB, Houston
This was the pick that was sent to San Francisco for Kapri Bibbs. Cleveland then traded up for Wilson who is an instinctual corner who will do well in zone coverage.
- Detriot Lions: Michael Roberts, TE, Toledo
Roberts is a pick that is meant to add depth to the tight end group. His blocking needs some work and will probably not contribute right away.
- Cincinnati Bengals: Josh Malone, WR, Tennessee
The Bengals add another receiver trying to replace the two they lost an offseason ago. Malone is sure to be a deep option for the Bengals.
- Oakland Raiders: David Sharpe, T, Florida
Sharp is a physical tackle who needs to be quicker off the line. He also needs to improve his footwork. He is probably a tackle and guard capable, depth option.
- Houston Texans: Julie’n Davenport, T, Bucknell
Davenport has the length and power teams look for. I think he is more of a project that could develop into a valuable tackle for the Texans
- New England Patriots: Deatrich Wise, Jr., DE, Arkansas
This is a typical Patriots pick as Wise could probably play in both an even and odd front. The Patriots value this type of versatility.
- Philadelphia Eagles: Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego St.
Pumphrey was very productive in college and that may translate to the NFL. Pumphrey has the same skillset as Darren Sproles; so, you have to think they will groom him to be Sproles’ replacement.
- Dallas Cowboys: Ryan Switzer, WR, North Carolina
Switzer is a believed to be a good competitor who could potentially play in the slot. His first task will be to win the punt return job.
- Green Bay Packers: Jamaal Williams, RB, Brigham Young
The Packers have a huge hole at running back and Williams is the first of many running back picks. Being a fourth rounder, you have to think he will at least be a part of their rotation.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee
Some may think this pick is the heir to Ben Roethlisberger, but more likely he will be a third quarterback to start out and then will eventually compete to be a backup. If he can fix his accuracy issues, he has the quick decision-making ability to be a successful NFL quarterback.
- Atlanta Falcons: Sean Harlow, T, Oregon State
Harlow’s best fit for the Falcons is to kick inside to guard. He may get the opportunity to start as a rookie.
- Indianapolis Colts: Zach Banner, G, Southern California
Banner could be a good run blocking guard and could add some depth to the Colts offensive line. The knock on him is his pass blocking ability.
- Cincinnati Bengals: Ryan Glasgow, DT, Michigan
Glasgow is potentially a rotational defensive tackle in the Bengals defense. He may get his first on-the-field experience on early downs.
- 1 Kansas City Chiefs: Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan
Not a huge fan of this pick. He struggled in his last year at Michigan and will need to prove it as a kick returner. He may develop into a second or third option in the NFL.
- New York Giants: Wayne Gallman, RB, Clemson
Gallman is probably a rotational back in the NFL. The Giants did need some depth in their backfield.
- New York Jets: Chad Hansen, WR, California
Hansen is a better player than his measurables show. He showed that he has the skills to play receiver in the league at Cal.
- Houston Texans: Carlos Watkins, DT, Clemson
Watkins has some good movement skills, but will need to play as a rotational defensive lineman. He was involved in a terrible car crash.
- Indianapolis Colts: Marlon Mack, RB, South Florida
Marlon Mack has excellent burst, but there is some concern about his toughness and ability to hold onto the ball. I see him as the Colts number two back behind Frank Gore.
- Indianapolis Colts: Grover Stewart, DT, Albany State
This is a good pick as Stewart could be the nose tackle for the Colts once he develops. I think he can also kick out to the three technique in a hybrid front.
