5. Carolina Panthers
- DT Derrick Brown, Auburn
- EDGE Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State (38th)
- S Jeremy Chinn, SIU (64th)
- CB Troy Pride Jr., Notre Dame (113th)
- S Kenny Robinson, XFL (152nd)
- DT Bravvion Roy, Baylor (184th)
- CB Stanley Thomas-Oliver, FIU (221st)
I was not a fan of using a top-10 pick on a nose tackle, but positional value isn’t really a factor here and Brown is good football player who will improve the Panthers’ run defense on his own. Gross-Matos needs some refinement but looks like a productive edge rusher, and both Chinn and Pride will play a lot of snaps as rookies. My favorite pick was Robinson, a true centerfield safety who just needs to clean up his tackling to develop into a good starter. Even late-round flier Bravvion Roy produced at a high level. Carolina’s defensive depth chart looks a lot more promising after the weekend.
6. New York Jets
- T Mekhi Becton, Louisville (11th)
- WR Denzel Mims, Baylor (59th)
- S Ashtyn Davis, California (68th)
- EDGE Jabari Zuniga, Florida (79th)
- RB La’Mical Perine, Florida 120th
- QB James Morgan, FIU (125th)
- OT Cameron Clark, Charlotte (129th)
- CB Bryce Hall, Virginia (158th)
- P Braden Mann, Texas A&M (191st)
Those first three picks are all home runs. Becton will need time to hone his technique in pass pro but his run blocking is already NFL ready. Mims is already the best receiver on the roster and Davis adds to a talented, and versatile, group of safeties. After those picks, the class takes a turn for the worse: Zuniga has all the tools but isn’t a good football player, La’Mical Perine is a running back who doesn’t catch passes and I don’t know if James Morgan is even starting material in the XFL (RIP). Getting Hall on Day 3 got the Jets back on track. This was a successful draft for a team that desperately needed one.
7. Denver Broncos
WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama (15th)
WR KJ Hamler, Penn State (46th)
CB Michael Ojemudia, Iowa (77th)
C Lloyd Cushenberry, LSU (83rd)
DT McTelvin Agim, Arkansas (93rd)
TE Albert Okuwuegbunam, Missouri (118th)
LB Justin Strnad, Wake Forest (178th)
OG Netane Muti, Fresno State (181st)
WR Tyrie Cleveland, Florida (252nd)
Edge Derrek Tuzka, NDSU (254th)
This is a BIG class featuring a lot of talented players throughout. We know Jeudy is a star but don’t sleep on Hamler, who is on the smaller side but can turn any touch into six points — when he’s not dropping the ball, that is. The Broncos didn’t just focus on the skill positions either. Cushenberry was the brains of LSU’s award-winning offensive line and Muti’s tape is as impressive as any you’ll find in this class. If he can stay healthy, he’ll be a Pro Bowl guard. That’s a big if, unfortunately. If Vic Fangio can turn Ojemudia into a competent starter, this could be a legendary class.
8. Baltimore Ravens
- LB Patrick Queen, LSU (28th)
- RB JK Dobbins, Ohio State (55th)
- DT Justin Madubuike, Texas A&M (71st)
- WR Devin Duvernay, Texas (92nd)
- LB Malik Harrison, Ohio State (98th)
- OT Tyre Phillips, Mississippi State (106th)
- OG Ben Bredeson, Michigan (143rd)
- DT Broderick Washington, Texas Tech (170th)
- WR James Proche, SMU (201st)
- S Geno Stone, Iowa (219th)
I know the nerds felt betrayed when the Ravens went off-the-ball linebacker then running back with their first two drafts. Positional value aside, Baltimore added a lot of talented players to an already loaded roster. Queen, a true modern linebacker with coverage skills and good instincts, will walk right into the starting lineup. Dobbins will get a bunch of carries. Madubuike will put pressure on the pocket and is no slouch in the run game. I like both of the receivers they drafted and I wouldn’t be surprised if Bredeson is in the starting lineup by 2021. The class offers quantity and quality.
