Ratings: 1 round • 2 round • 3 round • 4 round • 5 round • 6 round • 7 round
33. Buccaneers: Logan Hall, DL, Houston
Rating: A-
Tampa Bay is older at the front of its defensive line, filling the basic need for a truly versatile, uniquely shaped pass. Hall can win with pass moves and / or strength in multiple places in front.
34. Packers: Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota St.
Rating: C +
Preliminary design process adopted. Tall, fast, bending. Rough routes are not a major threat to the YAC. It will have to be used properly by the door to highlight his talents. Great speed and explosiveness. Very useful in the game of jet swing / end. Great time up. Expensive trade, but finally a successor to Green Bay.
35. Titans: Roger Macriery, CB, Auburn
Rating: A
First round talent that only lasts until round 2 due to short arms. Three years of SEC star film. Sudden ability to suddenly change direction. Recovery speed is available. Furious on the line. Hell of a good footballer. Corresponds to the Tennessee men’s coverage scheme.
36. Jets: Breece Hall, RB, Iowa St.
Rating: B
Minimal movement to get a full back with three down. Hall doesn’t play in his combine training, but he checks all the boxes on a nuanced runner. Great ball skills / receiving ability too. Maybe a little early for RB? Hall and Michael Carter are already a fun, complementary duo.
37. Texans: Jalen Pitre, S, Baylor
Rating: A
He was released from college and was a top playmaker. Incredibly sudden. Great blitz. Bookmark the smaller size. More CB slot than pure security. It’s not incredibly fast. If he is given freelance powers, he can be a star.
38. Falcons: Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State
Rating: A
First round film and features. The only reason it was available was because it wasn’t huge. Plans for demolition, bending, passing-fast, converting speed into power. Super consistent. The Falcons desperately need stars in their previous seven in defense beyond Grady Jarrett. It is not very expensive to trade.
39. Bears: Kyler Gordon, CB, Washington
Rating: B +
It feels appropriate for him. Bandy, a unique athlete with explosive flashes. Not crazy speed or ball skills. Great, tough defender. Chicago just needs to add talent to its entire list. They get this in a first-class position with Gordon.
40. Seahawks: Boye Mafe, EDGE, Minnesota
Rating: A-
Older perspective, but upward fast. I got better every season in Minnesota. Super explosive. Quality handwork. The band is also there. It also fills a great need. Seattle needed to get more juice outside.
41. Seahawks: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Michigan St.
Rating: C +
Full RB. Make you miss a skill. Thick bottom half, which gives way to great contact balance. He doesn’t play his 40s. He is not an HR striker. Was that a basic need? However, Seattle likes to drop the ball. No QB?
42. Vikings: Andrew Booth, CB, Clemson
Rating: A-
A first-round caliber talent who fell due to injury during the pre-draft process. Lightning fast legs, loose thighs. Lightning flashes of unrealistic skills. The fight was hit or missed. Universality man / zone. It could become a star training by Patrick Peterson for one season.
43. Giants: Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Kentucky
Rating: B-
I moved down, chose a super slippery direction change specialist at WR. Small at high speed. Small capture radius and no contact balance monster. Will Juki defenders to the next level. It’s not as great in YAC as the size would suggest. Fun choice for Giants. But touch early.
44. Texas: John Swords III, WR, Alabama
Rating: C-
Vertical specialist. He took various complex routes down to Alabama. She follows him over her shoulder great. Not too fast deep. Minimum YAC. Smaller frame. Replacing a specialist is a bit strange.
45. Ravens: David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan
Rating: B +
Incredibly high upward movement due to its flashes of explosion / bending and pass-exit. He suffered a torn Achilles on his professional day, so his rookie season is in doubt. Such cunning crows choose. With more power — it needs – Ojabo can be a perennial Pro Bowl rusher.
46. Lions: Josh Pascal, EDGE, Kentucky
Rating: B
Hot push with low center of gravity. The handiwork is decent. On earth a little more than you would like. Reasonable turn, but not a specialty. Tri-down Rusher that meets the needs of Detroit. Even to double the position.
47. Commanders: Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama
Rating: B
More Crimson Tide players for Washington. Matisse is a complete DT. Explosion, ability for two gaps, ability to hurry up. Handwork. The only thing is that he has an older perspective. It will restore the OL and push the pocket. But weren’t there greater needs?
48. Bears: Jaquan Brisker, S, Penn St.
Rating: A-
A long, explosive, striking safety that flashes in the surface as a robber. Not a slot lock type. A smart player without nonsense. Sample size and speed. Another secondary reinforcement in Chicago.
49. Saints: Alonte Taylor, CB, Tennessee
Rating: C +
Older promising, which is an explosive engine in the field. Best in the area where he can watch QB and throw. It will strike shocking blows. High speed. The ability to change direction is average for the position, which limits its coverage from person to person. Long arms. Missed punches appear on film.
50. Patriots: Tyquan Thornton, WR, Baylor
Rating: A-
Main berth in WR. Not just 4.28 fast. Performs clear, well-sold routes. Very natural hand catch. He pulls the ball effortlessly out of his frame. This is exactly what the patriots needed aggressively. Spindle though. It is not expensive to move up.
51. Eagles: Cam Jurgens, C, Nebraska
Rating: A-
Huge selection, even if he will be the backup of Jason Kells in 2022. Jurgens is an explosive, well-balanced drummer inside. Checks the length box. With more power, it could be the All-Pro type in Philadelphia.
52. Steelers: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
Rating: A
There is a Pittsburgh Round 2 WR. Pickens has first-round talent and a first-round film. High, long, sudden, huge catch radius. Disgusting behavior on the field. The torn ACL and maybe some maturity issues knocked him on board. True WR1 capabilities.
53. Colts: Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
Rating: C +
Prototype Colt. They love size / athleticism and Pierce shook up his combination workout. Big, tall, explosive. The routes are a bit rounded. The change of direction is a bit hard. Play a pretty big downfield. Minimum YAC capabilities.
54. Chiefs: Sky Moore, WR, Western Michigan
Rating: A +
Absolute hairpin. He does everything well. The only fucking is that he is touching below 5-10. Destroys press coverage. Lightning fast routes. Bounces off players after a catch. Huge catch radius. She will be an instant star with Patrick Mahoms.
55. Cardinals: Trey McBride, TE, Colorado
Rating: B +
It was the focal point of his college crime. A very nuanced, polished player who will split at the bottom and at the middle level. He does everything well. However, it is not a real trump card and only average as a blocker. More weapons for Kyler = something good.
56. Cowboys: Sam Williams, EDGE, Mississippi
Rating: A-
The toughest hands in the EDGE draft. Serious bulls too. You need to use your hands a little more often. Thick. Burst is good, but he doesn’t play with the long speed he demonstrates in the combine. Some worries off the field. Fills a need.
57. Buccaneers: Luke Goedeke, OG, Central Michigan
Rating: C +
The speed of the short zone appears on the film. That’s how his hand works. Too often he lets attackers into his frame and from time to time stops moving his legs in the pass pro. An intelligent solution to maintain OL stocks. He needs to get stronger. Lots of ugly movie wins.
58. Falcons: Troy Andersen, LB, Montana
Rating: B
Charming prospect. Former QB. He switched to LB and was extremely productive at the FCS level. Big and extremely athletic. Fly to football. Large handling radius. It will just take him a while to acclimatize as a cover player. However, the great need has been met.
59. Vikings: Ed Ingram, G, LSU
Rating: C-
Type of apiary on the inside. Moments of punishing force. The balance is not good. The ability to recover is noticeably lacking. As well as his handiwork. It is not exactly a suitable scheme for blocking zones. Strange choice, although the internal OL had to be considered.
60. Bengals: Cam Taylor-Brit, CB, Nebraska
Rating: B +
Sleeping in the place of CB. Bouncing, explosive, fast. The ability to recover is exceptional. He always seems to find football. From time to time he found it difficult to get out of the rear pedal. The Bengals don’t have many needs, they probably shouldn’t have doubled in the background, but Taylor-Britt is a damn good player.
61. 49ers: Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC
Rating: B +
The dark horse to be horses EDGE down the road. A great rookie. The weight was up and down in college. Huge combination of explosion / bending around the corner. There is not much else in his game and now he can learn moves to pass and hurry from Nick Boza. It also needs to get stronger. A quality choice for opening the San Franz draft.
62. Leaders: Brian Cook, S, Cincinnati
Rating: B-
General type in the field of safety on quality protection in college. He is not a special athlete, but he can launch jets with short bursts. Intoxicating sound of the job. He can wear many hats, but he does not differ in any area. Bookmark early but meet the need.
63. Accounts: James Cook, RB, Georgia
Rating: B +
Explosive, multidimensional weapon in the Republic of Bulgaria. Not quite his brother in explosiveness, but close. Smooth movements on the ground. Athlete without effort. Not crazy elusiveness or contact balance. As the value of RB in RD2 much more after two reverse trades.
64. Broncos: Nick Bonito, EDGE, Oklahoma
Rating: A-
Smaller, flexible, fast-moving …
