FOURTH-ROUND GRADES

  1. David Woodward, LB, Utah St (6’1” 6/8, 230 lbs, 4.79, 1.68) – Smart, fundamentally sound player. Tackles very well and shows enough athleticism to help out both against the run and pass. More of a gap shooter than someone who sheds blocks, but understands angles and plays to his strengths. Probably only in on early downs as a rookie, but has a chance to earn more playing time with experience. BEST FITS: Chicago, New England, Pittsburgh, Detroit
  2. Kenny Willekes, EDGE, Michigan St (6’3” 4/8, 264 lbs, 4.87, 1.69) – Doesn’t display elite strength, but makes plays against both the run and the pass by shooting gaps. Athleticism isn’t ideal, but plays faster than you would think due to his high IQ and processing. Competitor that doesn’t quit on a play. Not the elite-upside kind of guy, but will find his way into a defensive line rotation for a decade. BEST FITS: Pittsburgh, New England, Baltimore, Denver
  3. Solomon Kindley, G, Georgia (6’3” 2/8, 337 lbs, no 40) – Powerful guard that loves to maul. Kindley uses his hands incredibly well and creates lanes. Feet and agility are above average and provides hope that Kindley can be more than an average starter. May redshirt for a season while he drops weight to add mobility, but there is a lot of potential here. BEST FITS: Dallas, Green Bay, Chicago, Pittsburgh
  4. Collin Johnson, WR, Texas (6’5” 5/8, 222 lbs, no 40) – An enormous receiver in the Mike Evans mold, Johnson is a true X. He is physical, uses his hands well to defeat press coverage, and can make plays in tight areas. He doesn’t have elite speed or burst to create a ton of separation, but uses his body well to shield defenders. Immediate red zone target, Johnson may not be an every-down starter, but he should stick for a long time. BEST FITS: Buffalo, NY Giants, NY Jets, Washington
  5. McTelvin Agim, DT, Arkansas (6’2” 5/8, 309 lbs, 4.98, 1.76) – Excellent burst out of a 3-point stance. Best fits as a 3-technique penetrator in an even front. Needs to get stronger in his anchor to be able to hold up against the run. Best as a situational inside pass rusher early, with room to develop into an every-down role. BEST FITS: Minnesota, Dallas, Las Vegas, Atlanta
  6. Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri (6’5” 4/8, 258 lbs, 4.49, 1.56) – Blew away the combine with his testing numbers. Doesn’t quite play as fast as times would indicate. Route running leaves a lot to be desired. More of a straight-line runner than quick in and out of cuts. Frame is outstanding, but needs to apply it and become a better blocker. BEST FITS: Seattle, Arizona, Jacksonville, Green Bay
  7. Jack Driscoll, OT, Auburn (6’4” 5/8, 306 lbs, 5.02, 1.74) – Another tackle prospect that simply needs to get stronger. Driscoll is plenty mobile and fits best as a right tackle in a zone scheme, but may be forced to kick inside at some point. A two-year starter in the SEC gives him plenty of experience against high-level competition showcasing proper technique. Decent floor, limited ceiling. BEST FITS: Green Bay, LA Chargers, Atlanta, Arizona
  8. Bradlee Anae, EDGE, Utah (6’3” 3/8, 257 lbs, 4.91, 1.69) – Edge rusher with an elite motor. Gives 100% effort at all times and never gives up on a play. Solid traits for a rotational edge rusher, but lacks the elite length, burst, and agility to become an every-down base defensive end. BEST FITS: Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, Tampa Bay
  9. Shane Lemieux, G, Oregon (6’3” 7/8, 310 lbs, 5.11, 1.83) – Power-based scheme fit only as he lacks the fundamental mobility required to play in a zone scheme. Extremely powerful punch at initial contact, keeping defenders at bay. Moves bodies rather easily and creates holes for downhill rushing lanes. BEST FITS: Baltimore, Seattle, Indianapolis
  10. Logan Stenberg, G, Kentucky (6’6”, 317 lbs, 5.30, 1.86) – Much like Lemieux, Stenberg is a fit only in a power/gap scheme. He is a true mauler and loves contact. Violent hands at point of contact. Average feet, which makes him vulnerable against quick inside pass rush moves. Immediate starter. BEST FITS: Baltimore, Seattle, Indianapolis
  11. Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota (6’1” 3/8, 206 lbs, no 40) – A big slot, Johnson demonstrates outstanding body control and hands. He’s excellent after the catch and also in the red zone. Doesn’t have elite speed or quickness, but he’s physical and can make plays against tight coverage. Very productive in college and should translate to a solid possession receiver at the next level. BEST FITS: Philadelphia, Dallas, Denver, Jacksonville
  12. Darrynton Evans, RB, Appalachian St (5’10” 3/8, 203 lbs, 4.41, 1.58) – Acceleration, elusiveness, and speed are his strengths. Has a chance to be a true game-breaker at the next level when he gets the ball in space. Solid size, but doesn’t break as many tackles as you’d want in your lead back. Hands are ok, which makes him a great option as a 3rd down back, mixing in earlier as the speed complement. Should push for 10+ touches weekly. BEST FITS: Houston, NY Jets, Seattle, Jacksonville
  13. Justin Strnad, LB, Wake Forest (6’3” 3/8, 238 lbs, 4.74, 1.68) – Nice range from sideline-to-sideline. Didn’t test as well as he would have hoped, but plays faster than those times indicate. Physical player, but didn’t tackle incredibly well. Room for improvement. Pure WILL linebacker. BEST FITS: Las Vegas, Detroit, Arizona, New Orleans, Carolina
  14. Markus Bailey, LB, Purdue (6’0” 1/8, 235 lbs, no 40) – Smart football player with decent athleticism. Without the burst and speed of some of the other linebackers in this class, Bailey may be best suited for MIKE, maybe even in a 3-4 where he can get by on his mental aptitude more than his physical traits. Does display fine tackling ability and strength to shed blocks in the run game. Immediate two-down starter. BEST FITS: San Francisco, Chicago, Baltimore, LA Rams, LA Chargers
  15. Essang Bassey, CB, Wake Forest (5’9” 3/8, 191 lbs, 4.46, 1.55) – If tackling weren’t part of the game, Bassey would possibly go on day 2. He has some elite traits that translate well to being a slot corner at the next level. Fluid movements, good speed, and ball skills. But, Bassey often looks disinterested in tackling, and that could be an even bigger issue against bigger, stronger NFL ball carriers and receivers. If a coach can help him in that area, he has a chance to be really, really good. BEST FITS: Denver, Jacksonville, Houston, Dallas
  16. Larrell Murchison, DT, North Carolina St (6’2” 4/8, 297 lbs, 5.05, 1.81) – Despite having ideal dimensions for an under tackle, Murchison hasn’t offered much through foundational strength and anchor ability. More of a gap shooter against both the run and the pass. Murky future unless he strengthens his base. BEST FITS: San Francisco, Jacksonville, Indianapolis
  17. Alex Highsmith, EDGE, Charlotte (6’3” 1/8, 248 lbs, 4.70, 1.68) – Quick first step off the snap along with short-area quickness allows for Highsmith to create pressure with a plethora of pass-rush moves. Not a powerful player, meaning Highsmith is likely limited to sub-package rushing situations, at least early on. Length is concerning, meaning he may ultimately even be limited to OLB in 3-4 schemes. BEST FITS: Baltimore, San Francisco, LA Rams, Atlanta, Pittsburgh
  18. Antonio Gandy-Golden, WR, Liberty (6’4”, 223 lbs, 4.60, 1.62) – A big, physical receiver that dominated lower-level competition. His releases are a question mark, as he simply could overpower jams at the collegiate level. Speed is adequate for a receiver of his size. Hands are excellent and utilizes his length to demonstrate outstanding contested catch ability. Nothing fancy about his route-running, which means there is a lot of development to be realized. If the right coach gets his hands on him, Gandy-Golden has a chance to be a starter for a long time. BEST FITS: Buffalo, Cleveland, Atlanta, Tennessee
  19. Anthony McFarland, RB, Maryland (5’8” 1/8, 208 lbs, 4.44, 1.59) – Quick, fast, and elusive. McFarland is able to create big plays, both in space and sometimes out of nothing. More than capable as a receiver and could certainly create mismatches against linebackers in the flat, out wide, and on option routes. Pass protection is an issue, which will limit his early contributions. BEST FITS: Atlanta, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Dallas
  20. Jason Stowbridge, DT, North Carolina (6’4” 2/8, 275 lbs, 4.89, 1.72) – Very strong for an undersized defensive tackle. Stowbridge also put up solid testing times, but didn’t display a ton of athleticism or explosion on tape as a pass rusher. He should be a rotational player that has room to develop into more. BEST FITS: San Francisco, Denver, Atlanta
  21. Antoine Brooks Jr, S, Maryland (5’10” 5/8, 220 lbs, 4.64, 1.61) – Box safety with excellent size and strength. Tackling is excellent, as well. Deep range is limited, as are man-cover skills. Scheme-specific prospect that may eventually transition to sub-package linebacker role. Will be a strong Special Teams contributor early. BEST FITS: Cleveland, Denver, San Francisco, Carolina
  22. Anthony Gordon, QB, Washington St (6’2” 3/8, 205 lbs, no 40) – Is he only a product of the Washington St offense? He posted some incredible passing numbers, but nobody truly knows if that will translate to the next level. He has adequate size, but well above-average arm talent. He wasn’t asked to go through progressions too often, which will give teams concern. He’s a redshirt quarterback in year 1, but any team looking for a developmental guy should be doing their due diligence here. BEST FITS: Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Minnesota, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Green Bay
  23. Charlie Heck, OT, North Carolina (6’7” 5/8, 311 lbs, 5.16, 1.80) – Extremely mobile for a man of his height. Possesses elite length, allowing for Heck to initiate first contact on a regular basis, keeping rushers off balance. Needs to work on his sets and gain strength/leverage. Shows solid technical tendencies, but gets a little sloppy at times. Possible starter down the line with a floor of a swing tackle. Should stick in the league for many years. BEST FITS: Cincinnati, LA Chargers, Miami, NY Jets
