#33 – Jacksonville Jaguars – T.J. Clemmings – OT – Pittsburgh
Big but nimble tackle who can develop into a stout pass protector for Blake Bortles.
#34 – Oakland Raiders – Malcom Brown – DT – Texas
Large body defensive tackle who can anchor against the run but provides pocket push as well.
#35 – New York Jets – Ronald Darby – CB – Florida State
Deceptively long corner with good athleticism who quietly does his job in coverage.
#36 – Tennessee Titans – Brett Hundley – QB – UCLA
Big, strong and athletic quarterback who has developed in a pro-style system and is ready for the next level.
#37 – Oakland Raiders (f/TB) – Ifo-Ekpre Olomu – CB – Oregon
Undersized but speedy and agile corner with a nose for the ball and can lock down opposing receivers.
#38 – New York Giants – Eric Kendricks – ILB – UCLA
Average speed but outstanding instincts, leadership and toughness for the position.
#39 – Washington Redskins – Lorenzo Mauldin – DE – Louisville
At his best getting after the quarterback but has the length and agility to shift to outside linebacker.
#40 – Carolina Panthers – Ty Sambrailo – OT – Colorado State
Emerging pass protector with head-turning skills despite coming from a smaller program.
#41 – St. Louis Rams – Ameer Abdullah – RB – Nebraska
A big play waiting to happen. Small but quick and fast with great vision to hit the hole.
#42 – Minnesota Vikings – Eric Striker – OLB – Oklahoma
Versatile linebacker with great range who can rush the passer or play coverage depending on the scheme.
#43 – Atlanta Falcons – Derron Smith – FS – Fresno State
Overlooked coming from a lesser school, he is nonetheless a playmaker with good size and instincts.
#44 – New Orleans Saints – Charles Gaines – CB – Louisville
Key component of a playmaking secondary. Good length and speed to handle coverage against a variety of receivers.
#45 – Chicago Bears – Mario Edwards Jr. – DE – Florida State
Scheme-versatile penetrator who has the size and power to play inside and the quickness and speed for the outside.
#46 – Houston Texans – Spencer Drango – OT – Baylor
Technically sound pass protector with good size and can get a drive going in the run game.
#47 – Buffalo Bills – Cody Prewitt – FS – Ole Miss
Big safety who can deliver a serious blow to ball carriers but is also better than many believe in coverage.
#48 – Miami Dolphins – Cameron Erving – OT – Florida State
Having a down season but a supremely talented tackle who can develop into a great two-way player.
#49 – San Francisco 49ers – Carl Davis – DT – Iowa
Large, strong and high motor defensive lineman who suffocates the run but still can generate push on the pocket.
#50 – Detroit Lions – Michael Bennett – DT – Ohio State
Low-to-the-ground defensive tackle who excels at shooting gaps and wreaking havoc in the backfield.
#51 – Cleveland Browns – Arik Armstead – DE – Oregon
Long, large and ridiculously talented end who has a huge ceiling if he can work on his discipline.
#52 – Pittsburgh Steelers – Danielle Hunter – DE – LSU
Long and explosive off the edge, he has the look of a prototypical 3-4 outside linebacker.
#53 – San Diego Chargers – A.J. Cann – OG – South Carolina
Polished guard prospect who has the physical tools to do anything asked of him, run or pass.
#54 – Seattle Seahawks – Dorial Green-Beckham – WR – Oklahoma
Bit of a head case but top 5 level talent at wide receiver with 6’5” frame and the speed to get over the top.
#55 – Kansas City Chiefs – Tyrus Thompson – OT – Oklahoma
Enormous frame belies his remarkable quickness and balance. Can become dominant if he improves his strength.
#56 – Indianapolis Colts – Tevin Coleman – RB – Indiana
Emerging workhorse runner who has carried his program against some of the better teams in college football.
#57 – Baltimore Ravens – T.J. Yeldon – RB – Alabama
Latest in the factory of Alabama running backs. Not fast but nimble, good vision, big and strong to not go down easy.
#58 – Cincinnati Bengals – Lorenzo Doss – CB Tulane
A bit lanky but good length and coverage ability with a knack for the big plays that turn games.
#59 – Dallas Cowboys – Duke Johnson – RB – Miami
Short stature only grants him the advantage of defenses ignoring his vision, explosiveness and pension for taking over games.
#60 – Philadelphia Eagles – Hauoli Kikaha – DE – Washington
Not the most athletic defender but a non-stop motor and a bevy of pass rush moves make him dangerous.
#61 – Denver Broncos – Zach Hodges – OLB – Harvard
Linebacker with plenty of athletic traits to make him a three-down player but especially good as a pass rusher.
#62 – Green Bay Packers – Markus Golden – DE – Missouri
Not quite at the level of explosiveness as his teammate Ray, but a bit stronger in his own right and almost as good at beating blockers.
#63 – Arizona Cardinals – Christian Covington – DT – Rice
Some big guys just have that ability to split blocks and get into the backfield. This kid can do it over and over.
#64 – New England Patriots – Ty Montgomery – WR – Stanford
Good-sized, quick and dangerous with the ball in his hands, both as a receiver and return man on special teams.
