Top Ten NFL Draft Prospects Still On The Board
10. LB Zack Baun, Wisconsin
Just how much do you believe in his askew whiz test at the combine? He’ll be a chance worth taking as a great value pick in the second round. If he falls out of the top ten picks on Friday, then you’ll know exactly what the concern is. If everything was normal, he’s have gone in the top 20 on Thursday.
9. DT/DE Ross Blacklock, TCU
It’s a bit stunning that he didn’t somehow slip into the final few picks of the first round. His versatility and drive will make him a top 15 pick on Day Two. Watch out for someone to trade up for him.
8. S Grant Delpit, LSU
He’ll be a fascinating after-the-fact pick – how far will he fall, if at all, behind the ultra-athletic safeties on the board? This is a top ten overall prospect coming into the 2019 season who’ll be had for a bargain-basement price.
7. CB Bryce Hall, Virginia
Injury issues with a bum ankle will cause him to drop big. Ankles heal. He might be a tweener, but he’s an elite ball-hawker who’ll be an instant starter somewhere in a secondary once he’s 100%.
6. RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia
Part of the issue is that he doesn’t bring a whole lot of power. He’s not going be an every down back, but he’s the type of runner who’ll be devastating in a good rotation. He’s not going to be unemployed for long on Friday.

5. DT Justin Madubuike, Texas A&M
He’ll drop a bit because he doesn’t quite fit the NFL type, but he’s an athletic interior presence with a motor that doesn’t stop. He might fall to the third round, but some defensive coordinator will pound his fist to demand him.
4. RB Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin
It’s interesting to hear the knocks on him now. Does he have fumbling issues? Yeah, but Georgia’s D’Andre Swift has the same problem. Clyde Edwards-Helaire feels like the right fit for Kansas City, but Taylor is a franchise back who someone will love in the second.
3. DE Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State
He’s a first round talent who won’t last long on Friday. He still needs a little polish, but give him a year to figure it out and he’ll become a devastating playmaker in the backfield.
2. CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama
Las Vegas reached WAY too much for Ohio State’s Damon Arnette, and Clemson’s AJ Terrell at the 16 to Atlanta wasn’t the value Diggs will be on Day Two. He’s not the most physical of tacklers, but he’s a ready-made starting NFL cover-corner.
1. DE AJ Epenesa, Iowa
There isn’t one thing he does at the highest of levels, but he’s a starting defensive lineman who can be a rock-solid starter – and nasty tone-setter for the next decade. He’s the tough guy defensive end no one wants to deal with.
