He feels like a Patriot, so that makes sense.ġ21. Stevenson lacks a bit of juice but he’s a power guy who can run hard and play a role. New England Patriots: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Oklahoma – Grade: B. Not only does this not really address a need, they’re about three rounds too early on Nwangwu.ġ20. Minnesota Vikings: Kene Nwangwu, RB, Iowa State – Grade: D Maybe the Chargers have a plan but this is a reach, albeit for a player with obvious talent.ġ19. Talent and explosiveness as a pass rusher is there for Rumph but he’s severely undersized. Los Angeles Chargers: Chris Rumph II, EDGE, Duke – Grade: C+ The Rams needed some depth up front and the former Aggie should provide as much.ġ18.
Los Angeles Rams: Bobby Brown III, IDL, Texas A&M – Grade: B+īrown has a lot of upside that I really like. He can help add talent, depth and versatility to a defense that’s shaping up nicely.ġ17. Slight reach for the Giants here but the upside of Smith is for real. New York Giants: Elerson Smith, EDGE, Northern Iowa – Grade: B Instead, they took a linebacker, now giving them five. There were a ton of safeties available, clearly the biggest position of need.
Dallas Cowboys: Jabril Cox, LB, LSU – Grade: C. Atlanta Falcons: Drew Dalman, IOL, Stanford – Grade: C+ĭalman’s tape left me pretty underwhelmed and, while I appreciate Atlanta trying to fortify the trenches, this feels like a misfire by the Falcons.ġ15.
Barnes is a crazy athlete who needs to be honed in but there’s a ton of talent to mold and utilize.ġ14. Detroit Lions: Derrick Barnes, LB, Purdue – Grade: A-ĭetroit is quietly killing this draft as they lay the infrastructure for who they want to be. Brown won’t wow with size or speed but will wow with being open and making plays.ġ13. Terrific pick from the Lions here as they start getting some replacements at the skill positions. However, the Bengals are addressing a big need on the defensive line again, which is a good look.ġ12. Sample is a player who I don’t dislike but this was a bit rich for me. Cincinnati Bengals: Cameron Sample, EDGE, Tulane – Grade: B Hudson can be a monster if he can develop his technique.ġ11. The Browns remember what it’s like to have a bad O-line and aren’t about to repeat it. Cleveland Browns: James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati – Grade: A. He should be a nice player to complement A.J. Tennessee saw a wide receiver, a big need, slipping and traded up to grab him. Tennessee Titans: Dez Fitzpatrick, WR, Louisville – Grade: A. Hall is a good player who will add to the secondary.ġ09. Atlanta Falcons: Darren Hall, CB, San Diego State – Grade: B-īit of a reach for the Falcons but it’s not too bad. His explosiveness and shiftiness should play well in the new-look Jets offense.ġ08. Perfect value for a running back with Carter. New York Jets: Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina – Grade: A Jacksonville needed some juice on the interior of the defensive line and Tufele is untapped potential that could prove to be valuable.ġ07. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jay Tufele, IDL, USC – Grade: A 2021 NFL Draft grades for every fourth-round pick.ġ06.
