35. Scouting Report. EDGE. Jonathan Greenard. player. Pick Analysis. Forida. 29

After a decent start to his college career at Louisville, Jonathan Greenard had a breakout year in 2019 for the Florida Gators. With 10 sacks and 16 tackles for loss, Greenard knows how to use his athleticism to get in the backfield. He is a finesse rusher would a great array of moves and countermoves at his disposal to beat blockers.

The Titans, Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill have really made a name for themselves with their impressive playoff run this season. But a lot of the credit should go to their underrated defense. Dean Pees has that unit playing at a high level, and they would only get better adding another 3-4 pass rusher across from Harold Landry.

Pick Analysis. Wide Receiver. 30. 49. Scouting Report. LSU. Justin Jefferson. player

First off, just look at Justin Jefferson‘s statline from this season; 111 catches, 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns. Those are some crazy numbers. What’s even crazier is that he wasn’t even the most productive receiver on his own team. But anyway, it’s clear that Jefferson can get it done.

Watching Jefferson, he doesn’t jump off the screen with anything in particular. He just does just about everything really well. He has a physical 6-foot-3 frame, strong hands, solid route running and sufficient speed to beat defenders deep.

Some may give all the credit to his quarterback or attribute his success to the fact that he has another very talented receiver on the team that garners most of the attention. Well even if that’s the case, this would be the perfect place for Jefferson to land. Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams? This sounds like a good situation for Jefferson to succeed and for the Packers to add a solid, reliable second option.
