- Rd 2, Pick 29 (61) Taylor Rapp S

- Rd 3, Pick 16 (79) David Long CB
- Rd 3, Pick 34 (97) Bobby Evans T

- Rd 7, Pick 37 (251) Dakota Allen LB
Best Pick: Bobby Evans, T
Even though the easy answer here is to say Taylor Rapp is incredible value there at 61 overall in this draft, I’m going to say the best pick here has to be Bobby Evans at pick number 97. This is a former Texas High School basketball player of the year. Then went on to start 40 games at Tackle at Oklahoma. He will step in day 1 as the swing tackle at worst.
Worst Pick: Darrell Henderson, RB
The value of the running back position has been heavily debated over the past handful of years, and I’m definitely on the anti-running back side of things in that argument. That being said, Darrell Henderson possesses the ability to break off a long run, but rarely do you see him do his damaged after that first point of contact.
Yards after contact are a direct indicator of running back success in the NFL if you don’t believe me take a look at the names on the leader board from last season. Henderson will have to prove the ability to do so in the NFL.
