27. Scouting Report. Lucas Niang. 36. Pick Analysis. OT. TCU. player

Lucas Niang is a massive offensive tackle prospect who has the ideal length for the position and moves extremely well for a man of his size. Niang is a bit of a raw player but he has some nice upside as a pass protector and run blocker at the next level. The Seattle Seahawks get a good one here.

Washington. QB. Jacob Eason. 28. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 15

The New Orleans Saints are a great football team who continues to be Super Bowl contenders each season. However, with Drew Brees possibly hanging up the cleats at any time, their Super Bowl window could close quickly.

Teddy Bridgewater is a strong backup quarterback, but I would like to see the Saints build more for the future at the position. Bridgewater is decent, but they would benefit from having more of a high-upside player in the mix.

Jacob Eason is a big-armed quarterback prospect who has all of the arm talent in the work. Eason can legitimately make any throw on the football field, consistently hitting deep balls and zipping passes into tight windows with velocity.

His accuracy is a bit spotty, but Eason has shown the ability to place the ball well at times. I would love to see him become more of a consistently accurate quarterback, but at least we know he has good accuracy in him somewhere.

Eason is undoubtedly a bit of a work in progress, but his upside at the next level is massive. Drafting Eason as a high-upside eventual replacement for Brees would make a ton of sense for the New Orleans Saints.
