Booker has a good strength and power profile with some interior pass-rush upside.

138. Chase Lucas, CB, Arizona State (5-11, 180 pounds)    

Lucas has a decent combination of size and speed to help a team in outside coverage.

139. Dameon Pierce, RB, Florida (5-10, 218 pounds)

Pierce is a low-volume college back with untapped upside with his power and agility profile.

140. Jerome Ford, RB, Cincinnati (5-10, 210 pounds)    

Ford is getting more buzz as a classic strength-speed-hands prospect, making him a unique complementary change of pace.

141. Kerby Joseph, S, Illinois (6-1, 203 pounds)    

Joseph is a great cover man who doubles as an active ballhawk but he's not really an in-the-box option.

142. Alontae Taylor, CB, Tennessee (6-0, 199 pounds)    

Taylor offers good size and fluidity for zone coverage and can be a nice asset in subpackages.

143. Jesse Luketa, LB, Penn State (6-3, 253 pounds)    

Luketa is an active, high-effort tackler with good mental and physical toughness.

144. Dominique Robinson, EDGE, Miami (Ohio) (6-5, 253 pounds)    

Robinson is a terrific athlete with explosive qualities who's still putting it all together as a pass rusher.

145. Cam Jurgens, G, Nebraska (6-3, 303 pounds)   

Jurgens is a compact, well-rounded blocker who needs to improve his athletic traits to be more than a interior backup.

146. Romeo Doubs, WR,  Nevada (6-2, 201 pounds)    

Doubs uses his size well as an outside possession receiver but needs to expand his game to be more than that.

147. Dane Belton, S, Iowa (6-1, 205 pounds)    

Belton offers a lot of range as a cover man and on-ball playmaker to thrive in a cornerback hybrid role.

148. Montaric Brown, CB, Arkansas (6-0, 196 pounds)   

Brown uses his size well as a physical short-area zone cover man.

149. Tyrese Robinson, G, Oklahoma (6-3, 217 pounds)    

Robinson is an intriguing pure power blocker with his strength and nastiness.

150. Terrel Bernard, LB, Baylor (6-1, 224 pounds)    

Bernard is a relentless cover specialist at his position with the speed to get everywhere.

151. Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State (6-1, 200 pounds)

Vinnie Iyer, has been with TSN since 1999, not long after graduating from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. He has produced NFL content for more than 20 years, turning his attention to full-time writing in 2007. A native of St. Louis, Mo. but now a long-time resident of Charlotte, N.C. Vinnie’s top two professional sports teams are Cardinals and Blues, but he also carries purple pride for all things Northwestern Wildcats. He covers every aspect of the NFL for TSN including player evaluations, gambling and fantasy football, where he is a key contributor. Vinnie represents TSN as host of the “Locked On Fantasy Football” podcast on the Locked On network. Over his many years at TSN, he’s also written about MLB, NBA, NASCAR, college football, tennis, horse racing, film and television.
