51. Cam Akers – RB, Florida St – As tough of a film study at the RB position as you could find, Akers was crushed by horrible OL play. He didn’t have much of a chance to shine as a receiver as he was often needed to help in protection.
Akers is a very willing blocker, he’s physical and shows decent technique. As a runner, he is powerful and initiates contact and creates a lot of hidden yardage. If he shows well in receiving drills at the combine, he could rise up boards as a true three-down lead back.
52. Terrell Lewis – EDGE, Alabama – Lewis has had some major injuries throughout his college career, which will give front offices a reason to second guess his talent. He has a very explosive burst off the snap, when paired with his long arms, allows him to turn speed to power rather easily.
If Lewis can be coached up with counter moves, he could become a dominant force off the edge. He needs to stay healthy, but somebody will take a chance on him early in the draft.
53. Prince Tega Wanogho – OT, Auburn – An athlete at the OT position, Tega Wanogho has the chance to really become a top-level starter. He is big but has plenty of room to fill out and add good weight and become stronger. His feet are excellent, though he is unrefined in his technique. His athleticism reminds me of second-year Vikings right Brian O’Neill, given his raw talent and agility for a man of his stature.
54. Jacob Eason – QB, Washington – He will wow you with his ability to throw a football. It’s effortless. But, the finer points to the quarterback position can cause some erratic play. Under pressure, he’s prone to high throws, either putting his receivers in harm’s way or turning the ball over.
If given time, you are hard-pressed to find a player with more natural arm talent than Eason. I wouldn’t call him overly athletic, but he has the ability to move around and create some plays with his legs. Current Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is the easy comp for me.
55. Cameron Dantzler – CB, Mississippi St – Dantzler has put together some outstanding games. He allowed a passer rating of just 57.0 in 2019, good for fourth-best among cornerback in the talent-laden SEC. Against the top-scoring team in the nation, LSU, he allowed two catches on four targets for 13 yards, though I’m not quite sure the tape was as friendly as the stats indicate.
Dantzler trusts himself and his natural talent, allowing him to keep his eyes on the QB and create turnovers. He stands to get stronger, which can only help with press coverage. A player with excellent production with room to grow. He is a solid pick in the second round.
66. Ashtyn Davis – S, California – Davis is more of a Cover-2 safety than a true centerfielder due to his average burst and closing speed. He’s a smart player and keeps himself in great position to get over the top when playing halves.
Davis is not a great tackler when coming downhill as he often will take poor angles. He can drop down and play press coverage in the slot, but I wouldn’t leave him in the box too often. He is a good prospect that profiles as an above-average starter in a zone concept.
67. Raekwon Davis – DT/DE, Alabama – He can play a number of positions along the DL, depending on the scheme. I prefer to play him as a 5-technique in a 3-4 alignment. He shows plenty of burst and penetration for a man of his size, but the strength to hold up in run support, as well.
Davis lacks a lot of lateral ability, but should find himself in the offensive backfield plenty. The right scheme is needed, but a player that will get plenty of game action early in his career.
68. Collin Johnson – WR, Texas – Johnson is enormous at 6’6” and 221 pounds. He actually could stand to gain a few pounds and fill out his thin frame. He dominated in Mobile, often showing outstanding ability to chop his steps and get in and out of breaks.
Johnson is an immediate red zone threat, also showcasing excellent ability on deep routes. Some scouts are on him as a potential “move” tight end, but that would require adding weight, and I think it’s unnecessary given his athleticism.
Johnson should test really well, which will only help his stock. Moving him inside into the slot would create nightmares for nickel defensive backs, safeties, and linebackers. I might be the highest on him, but I think he’s going to be a star.
69. Zack Moss – RB, Utah – Moss is all about balance. He bounces off tacklers routinely and adds plenty of hidden yardage. He is quite shifty with his COD skills, as well, constantly keeping defenders off balance.
You never know if he’s going to run through you or around you. He’s an excellent pass-catcher and has a nice initial burst which helps on short-yardage plays and on screens. He doesn’t have breakaway speed, but can still create plenty of chunk gains.
Moss is a very good player that will take on a large role, even as a rookie.
70. Jaylon Johnson – CB, Utah – A physical outside corner, Johnson is best suited in a press-man scheme. He doesn’t have the best change of direction ability to thrive in off coverage, but can win at the line of scrimmage and throw off the timing for opposing quarterbacks.
Johnson is a long player, who is unafraid to take chances and create turnovers. Ideally, would constantly play press-trail coverage with safety help over the top. Can kick inside and cover TEs in certain coverages due to length. He is not an immediate starter but has the potential to make a lot of plays.
