This is a really deep draft talent wise. Especially at CB, OT, WR, and RB (maybe why wright slipping farther than expected, in conjunction with the fact that NFL clearly doesn’t value RBs as highly anymore).
My steals of the draft so far:
Keon Coleman WR to Bills. He’s better than pearsall and legette, and maybe worthy too.
Kamari Lassiter CB 6th CB taken, in the second round.
Ennis Rakestraw CB late 2nd round. Just shows how deep this years CB class was.
Kingsley Suamataia OT end of 2nd round. He’s as good as plenty of OTs drafted before him, imo.
Elijah Jones CB 3rd round. Further evidence of how deep and talented this CB class is.
Payton Wilson LB late 3rd round. Wasn’t he the best lb in the nation? Will be a leader in the locker room wherever he goes.
EDIT: Didn’t know Giovanni Manu existed. Anyone who runs a sub 5.0 40 at 6’8” 350+ lbs taken this late deserves to be on this list.
Preemptively:
Jaylen Wright RB. 2nd best rb in draft in my opinion, with potential to be the best. Surprised he went beyond third round. Elite speed and underrated break tackle and pass catching ability.
Decamerion Richardson CB. Surprised he lasted past the 3rd round. Again, deeeeep CB class. Any other class he’s a top 10 cb and doesn’t make it out of 2nd round.
Sedrick Van Pran C
Jaden Hicks S. I watch him and I don’t think he’s the most gifted athlete, but the guy just has a knack for making plays. His athleticism is deceptive. Troy Polomalu type.
Braeden McGregor EDGE
Trevor Keegan OG
Dillon Johnson RB
Kendall Milton RB
Harrison Mevis K. Ranked th 4th kicker available. I think he’s better than that. He should be drafted. We’ll see.
Joshua Cephus WR ranked the 46th wr and I think he’s much better than that.
