5th Round

player. 57. Mitch Hyatt isn’t getting a lot of love lately because teams feel he might not have the strength or mass to handle tackle in the NFL. This despite his excelling as a starter for three years at Clemson which included three trips to the College Football Playoffs and a national title. He understands the job of a protecting a franchise quarterback. At the very least he can become a dependable backup.. OT. Clemson. Mitch Hyatt . 5

6th Round

Connecticut. Folorunso Fatukasi . 6. player. 57. It’s not the most pressing need but defensive end is always a key part of how the Fangio defense function. The more decent players he has in the rotation, the better. Folorunso Fatukasi has that mix of size, power and quickness. He holds up well against the run and while not a devastating pass rusher is certainly able to get into the opposing backfield on occasion.. DE

7th Round

57. The productivity speaks for itself. Christian Sam did a little bit of everything at Arizona State. He racked up loads of tackles, collected some sacks and was even half decent in coverage. His style of play and considerable size would be a good fit for a 3-4 inside linebacker role where he’s allowed to play downhill and attack ball carriers. If he gains better awareness, he’ll be good.. ILB. Arizona State. Christian Sam . 7. player
