Danny Shelton. 17. player. 13. Danny Shelton has been lauded as a potential top ten pick (even by myself), but in reality there isn’t much value in the top ten for a nose tackle. At this point in the draft, drafting Shelton makes a ton of sense and provides great value. Shelton is a force at the point of attack and has shown the ability destroy single blocks and clog rushing lanes. For a man hovering around 340 pounds, he gets a surprising amount of pass rush. The Chargers nose tackle situation wasn’t great last season but drafting Shelton would remedy that issue.. DT. Washington
La'El Collins. 18. player. 124. The Chiefs broke the bank for Jeremy Maclin so they can pass on a wide receiver here. Their offensive line could use upgrades at right tackle and insurance for the guard spots in case the newly acquired Ben Grubbs and Paul Fanaika don’t pan out. Collins has as much upside as any offensive lineman in this class. He is athletic and tenacious, his biggest fault right now is his lack of strength. However, I believe once Collins gets into an NFL lifting program, he can be a special, special player.. OL. LSU
player. 53. The Browns had a huge hole at wide receiver before signing Brian Hartline. They still have a huge hole at wide receiver. If they don’t address this problem in free agency or a trade, they’re going to have to spend multiple early picks on offensive playmakers. Strong is a big, physical receiver who would be an immediate starter in Cleveland’s offense. He has the size and speed to make an impact from day one.. WR. Arizona State. Jaelen Strong. 19
54. Byron Maxwell is in the fold, but the Eagles can definitely still use an upgrade across from him. Waynes performed extremely well at the combine and really helped to improve his draft stock. The Eagles struggled to defend the pass last season, but with Byron Maxwell, Walter Thurmond, Kiko Alonso, and Trae Waynes on the team they should greatly improve in that facet.. CB. Michigan State. Trae Waynes. 20. player
