2019 NFL Draft: Top-50 prospects big board
30. DE Joe Jackson, Miami – Since his freshman season in Coral Gables, Jackson has been productive while on the field. Jackson shows good closing speed when coming around the edge and is often seen showing bend around the edge, which has improved during his time there. Jackson posted 21 tackles for loss and 14 sacks over his freshman and sophomore seasons in Miami.
29. QB Will Grier, West Virginia – One of the premier names at quarterback during the 2018 season, Grier’s career started off in Gainesville for the Florida Gators but now he’s picking apart defenses in Morgantown. Grier has a smooth delivery and can make NFL throws look routine. His arm strength and calm demeanor amid chaos are what will have NFL teams wanting his services as a passer.
28. EDGE Montez Sweat, Mississippi State – Sweat gets a little overshadowed by his teammate who will be mentioned later but the swift edge rusher is been coming into his own as of late. His long limbs and contagious motor allows him to get in opposing backfields and wreck havoc. Sweat turned heads last season after transferring from Michigan State and posting 15.5 tackles and 10.5 sacks.
27. QB Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State – I know some are thinking that this is a major jump for a guy in his first year as a starter but he has played like a well-seasoned veteran so far this season. Haskins has an arm that can connect on the deep throws and one that can apply velocity when need be. There is still some growing for Haskins in his development but this version of Haskins is damn good already.
26. OT Greg Little, Ole Miss – Greg Little fits what teams want as a starting left tackle in today’s game. Big, physical, and athletic, Little is a 325-pound load to deal with. It’s the small things in his arsenal that needs work. On occasion, Little tends to stand up straight almost when coming out of his stance. If Little can fix those tweaks, he’s a top-tier blocker.
