NFL Draft prospects: Top 100 big board
6. D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
Metcalf is a classic size-speed prospect at 6-4, 230 pounds who can both stretch the field and use his strength to catch contested balls in traffic and in the red zone.
11. Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
Taylor offers great agility, smarts and technique to handle most athletic edge-rushers given his size at 6-5, 334 pounds. Scouts have learned that he is meant to be a left tackle.
15. Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma
Ford is a tough mauler at 6-4, 330 pounds who can open running lanes from right tackle. He is athletic enough to develop into a top pass-blocker in time, too.
17. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
Williams carries a long, lean frame at 6-3, 184 pounds with rare speed, quickness and agility for his size. He is not the most physical player, but he is fundamentally sound in coverage, and he uses his length well at the line to break up routes.
21. Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
What Murphy gives up in size (5-11, 170 pounds) and press coverage potential, he makes up for in speed, aggressiveness and ball-hawking skills.
23. Irv Smith, TE, Alabama
Smith is a technically sound run blocker and route runner who has shown some vertical receiving juice to go with compact size (6-3, 243 pounds).
27. Jaylon Ferguson, OLB/DE, Louisiana Tech
Carrying some nice pop as a pass-rusher and having been productive in that area, Ferguson will get on the field first in the NFL as a big (6-5, 269 pounds), natural run-stopper on the edge.
29. Kaleb McGary, OT, Washington
McGary has moved up the board as he has proved to scouts he can match his massive frame (6-7, 317 pounds) with power and explosiveness. He is athletic enough to handle at least starting at right tackle before rounding out his footwork and agility to possibly play on the left side.
30. Drew Lock, QB, Missouri
Entering the draft as a four-year starter from Missouri, Lock has the arm to go with his ideal size at 6-4, 225 pounds. He also has the fearlessness and elusiveness NFL teams like in an aggressive, downfield passer.
31. Dalton Risner, OT, Kansas State
Risner is a technically sound lineman with a mean streak to pair with his physicality. He is being undersold as a pass blocker, but he is already a huge (6-3, 308 pounds) asset in the running game.
35. Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson
Mullen is emerging after an up-and-down 2018 season to stand out with his size (6-1, 194 pounds), speed, length and physicality.
37. Kelvin Harmon, WR, N.C. State
As a deep threat, Harmon’s size (6-3, 214 pounds) and speed stand out. But he is also a savvy route-runner and a tough, willing blocker.
39. Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State
Jones is a natural inside pass-rusher who needs some bulking (6-3, 283 pounds) and coaching before he can be used consistently on running downs. But he can develop quickly in that area.
40. A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
Brown, at 6-1, 230 pounds, fits the profile as a No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL. He is a strong-handed, reliable route runner who is tough enough to make big plays after the catch, even in traffic.
41. Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss
Little has the size (6-5, 325 pounds), agility and athleticism to suggest great upside as a pass protector, but his technique needs refinement, and he must learn how to better use his strength to his advantage.
42. Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State
Butler has a massive frame for the position at 6-6, 225 pounds. He can dominate in going up to get balls in traffic, especially in the red zone.
43. Taylor Rapp, S, Washington
At 6-0, 212 pounds, Rapp plays like an extra linebacker with his work in run support. He also is capable against the pass, at his best when blitzing and covering a short area.
44. Nasir Adderley, S, Delaware
Adderley has a good blend of cornerback coverage traits and physical tackling against the run and after the catch, playing longer and meaner than size at 6-0, 200 pounds.
45. Mack Wilson, ILB, Alabama
Wilson has the size (6-2, 236 pounds), ranginess and toughness against the run to be the next solid inside clean-up man from the Tide.
46. David Montgomery, RB, Iowa State
At 5-11, 216 pounds, Montgomery has emerged as a strong, all-around feature back prospect. He finishes runs strong and has shown some good hands and wiggle as a receiver.
47. Jachai Polite, OLB/DE, Florida
Although a little undersized at 6-2, 242 pounds, Polite’s speed and athleticism are off the charts. He is a freak who channels some of former Gator Jevon Kearse. He just needs to harness it better.
48. Juan Thornhill, S, Virginia
Thornhill has great size (6-0, 210 pounds), smarts and coverage skills. He also cleans up well against the run.
49. Yodny Cajuste, OT, West Virginia
Cajuste plays with good power and length at 6-5, 315 pounds, and he is best pure edge run blocker in the class. He needs to become a smoother pass protector in order to be trusted on the left side.
50. Zach Allen, DE, Boston College
At 6-5, 280 pounds, Allen is a big, smart, strong, high-effort player who excels at stopping the run. He has room to grow as a pass-rusher, too.
