NFL draft prospects who will go higher than you think
Every draft, we see a few players who come off the board sooner than the conventional narrative suggests they will. After talking to folks throughout the league and watching the tape, I have highlighted five players who fit that mold this year, starting with a quarterback.
Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee
Dobbs is an impressive prospect. He majored in aerospace engineering at Tennessee, so he clearly has the intelligence you need to play NFL quarterback at a high level. And from a physical standpoint, he has everything you look for: size (6-foot-3, 216 pounds), mobility, arm strength and speed (4.64 40-yard dash). Now that his rigorous college classes are behind him, he has a ton of potential as he commits all of his time to football. I've heard talk from others that he's a third- or fourth-round pick, but I think he'll come off the board in the second round.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
The buzz continues to build around McCaffrey. He's a lock to go in Round 1, which isn't exactly groundbreaking news. But I'll take it one step further: I would be surprised if he lasted past pick No. 15. Watching the tape, there are just so many potential ways you can use him on offense and special teams -- running back, slot receiver, return man -- and that kind of versatility has folks in the league very excited. McCaffrey is going to be a huge weapon for someone's offense.
Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss
I fully expect Engram's name to be called in the first round on Thursday night. Why? Let's start with measurables you don't see every day: 6-foot-3, 234 pounds and a 4.42-second 40. That 40 time is an elite number for a much smaller wide receiver. Engram is a rare weapon at tight end, with the speed to stretch a defense vertically and the strong hands to make difficult catches. I think three tight ends will come off the board in Round 1, with Alabama's O.J. Howard and Miami's David Njoku being the other two.
Amara Darboh, WR, Michigan
Many have Darboh as a Day 3 prospect. That's not what I saw at the Senior Bowl, at the combine or (most importantly) on tape. At 6-foot-2 and 214 pounds, Darboh ran an outstanding 4.45 40 at the combine. He has strong hands and long arms (just over 32½ inches), which creates a large catch radius. Here's what really sets him apart: Darboh runs almost like a running back with the ball in his hands, breaking tackles and gaining a lot of yards after initial contact. I think he'll be drafted on Day 2 and become a fine No. 2 receiver in the NFL. Remember this: Darboh had eight catches and a touchdown against Ohio State and the Buckeyes' two first-round cornerbacks.
Pat Elflein, C, Ohio State
Elflein is easily the best center prospect in this draft class. He has the feet, toughness and nasty streak to be a good player for a long time in this league. Elflein will be a starter right away for whichever club drafts him. I've heard some people throw out the third or fourth round for him, but I'll be surprised if he's not a top-50 pick.
Kiper's final 2017 Big Board: Top 300 NFL draft prospects
It's draft week, and that means my final Big Board is here. It's much more than my top 25 prospects -- this one goes to 300. You also can check out my position rankings, which cover more than 750 prospects.
The prospects below should cover a high percentage of those drafted -- there are 253 total picks this year -- but it's important to remember that every team has a distinct ranking of its own, and you'll see a number of players drafted who don't make my top 300.
To that point, here's the usual reminder: This final Big Board is not a prediction of where players will be drafted, only where I have them ranked as prospects. So dig in here, and come back Thursday for my final Mock Draft of the season. Oh, and check out ESPN, ESPN2 and WatchESPN for our live coverage of the draft.
1. Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
Previous rank: 1 | Watch highlights
Garrett is the top prospect in this draft, and I've had him atop my Big Board since early in the 2016 season. At the combine, he ran a ridiculous 4.64 40-yard dash and had a 41-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-8 broad jump, all at 6-foot-4, 272 pounds. Garrett had a frustrating 2016 season, hampered by a high ankle sprain he suffered in late September, and his 8.5 sacks were down from his freshman total of 11.5 and sophomore total of 12.5. But when Garrett is on, he's a brilliant, natural pass-rusher. The Browns should take him No. 1.
2. Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama
Previous rank: 2 | Watch highlights
Allen was one of the top two or three defenders in the country the past two seasons. After having 12 sacks in 2015, he had 10.5 more in 2016, including one in Alabama's national title game loss. I wrote in October about Allen's performance against Texas A&M, in which he had a signature sack and returned a fumble for a touchdown. Defensive end, defensive tackle -- at 6-3, 286 pounds, Allen can play anywhere on the line, and in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense. Plus, coach Nick Saban loves him.
3. Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Previous rank: 7 | Watch highlights
Adams put up solid safety numbers at the combine, running a 4.56 40 with a vertical jump of 31½ inches at 6-0, 214. He was a huge part of LSU's defensive success the past few seasons, even if it doesn't show on the stat sheet; he had one interception, one sack and one forced fumble this past season. He has great bloodlines -- his dad, George Adams, was the No. 19 overall pick in the 1985 NFL draft. He is built for today's NFL as a versatile safety who can play in the box effectively, make tackles against the run and move to the edges and track slot receivers.
4. Solomon Thomas, DE, Stanford
Previous rank: 3 | Watch highlights
Thomas has steadily risen over the past year, and now he's a likely top-five pick. He put up solid numbers at the combine and showed off the explosion that I saw on tape. Thomas plays like a veteran, causing disruptions in both the running and passing games. He had eight sacks in 2016 while playing end, but at 6-3, 273 pounds, he could move inside and play tackle. The versatility is what stands out. And he has some speed -- he ran a 4.69 40, and check out this fumble return.
5. O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
Previous rank: 6 | Watch highlights
Howard could be a top-five pick. He stood out at Senior Bowl practices and had a great combine, including a 4.51 40 at 6-6, 251 pounds. Howard wasn't a prolific pass-catcher at Alabama, including only 37 catches last season, but he has all the tools that scouts look for in an NFL tight end. He can stretch the deep middle of the field and become a more dynamic weapon. He could be a playmaker in the NFL. Three of his seven career touchdowns came in national title games.
6. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford
Previous rank: 12 | Watch highlights
McCaffrey's 4.48 40 and 37½-inch vertical at the combine should eliminate any doubts about his athleticism. He's going to be a really good pro. The Stanford offense was built around him for the past two years. He runs, catches passes, blocks and returns kicks and punts. With 590 carries for 3,622 yards and 82 catches for 955 yards the past two seasons, he has shown that he can carry the load. McCaffrey (5-11, 202) has incredible balance and could be an every-down back in the NFL. And it helps that he played in a pro-style offense at Stanford. His father, Ed, had a long NFL career as a wide receiver, and his brother, Max, was a good receiver at Duke.
7. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Previous rank: 10 | Watch highlights
A 4.51 40 is a great time for a 240-pound back, but Fournette's 28½-inch vertical turned some heads, and not in a good way. I still see plenty of explosion when I watch his games. He struggled with a gimpy ankle in 2016 and played in only seven games. Fournette has an incredible combination of speed and power that can make him look like a varsity player hanging with the JV. Mileage was a concern heading into last season, but that's not an issue now. He had a whopping 300 carries in 2015 -- for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns -- and only 129 in 2016.
8. Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama
Previous rank: 4 | Watch highlights
Foster has not had a good pre-draft process. He was sent home from the combine in a bizarre incident, and he tested positive for a dilute urine sample. He could drop well below here on draft day, but since these are my rankings, I'm still leaving him in the top 10. Foster (6-0, 229) is a big-time inside linebacker who has the talent and college tape of a top-five pick. He runs sideline to sideline and is a complete player.
9. Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
Previous rank: 5 | Watch highlights
At the combine, Lattimore ran a 4.36 40 and had a 38½-inch vertical and 11-foot broad jump, all three of which ranked in the top 10 among defensive backs. He's an athletic phenom who doesn't have a ton of experience. Lattimore (6-0, 193) struggled with a hamstring injury during his first two years in Columbus (and it did tighten up on him at the combine). But he was fantastic as a first-year starter in 2016, standing out in a group of talented defenders and posting four interceptions, including a pick-six. The 2017 cornerback class could be special, and Lattimore is at the top.
10. Haason Reddikk, OLB, Temple
Previous rank: 11 | Watch highlights
Reddikk's stock has moved up as much as anybody's in this class. He was one of the combine MVPs, with a 4.52 40, 36½-inch vertical and 11-foot-1 broad jump, all of which ranked in the top three among defensive linemen. Some teams might see Reddikk (6-1, 237) as an inside linebacker, but I think he also could play outside in a 3-4 or a 4-3. He'll get in the backfield -- he had 21.5 tackles for loss last season. There's a chance he gets picked before Foster and is the first linebacker off the board.
11. Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
Previous rank: 8 | Watch highlights
Hooker didn't take part in drills at the combine after having surgery in January to repair a torn labrum in his left hip and sports hernias, but measuring in at 6-1, 206 pounds helped him. Like his teammate Lattimore, Hooker was a third-year sophomore and first-year starter in 2016. He has incredible range and was the best center field-type safety I saw last season. He had seven interceptions and returned three of them for touchdowns.
12. Charles Harris, DE, Missouri
Previous rank: 17 | Watch highlights
Harris was up and down in 2016, with nine sacks and two forced fumbles. A 6-3, 253-pound pass-rusher, he can stand up in a 3-4 or put his hand on the ground in a 4-3. He even moved inside to defensive tackle a few times to rush the quarterback. He led the SEC with 18.5 tackles for loss in 2015.
13. Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
Previous rank: 22 | Watch highlights
Barnett was stellar after a slow start to the 2016 season, finishing with 13 sacks. That put him at 33 in his three years at Tennessee. Barnett (6-3, 259) is an all-around defender who beats double-teams, makes plays in the running game and gets after quarterbacks. He's a physical player who could play defensive end in a 4-3 or outside linebacker in a 3-4.
14. Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama
Previous rank: NR | Watch highlights
A hamstring injury slowed down Humphrey toward the end of the 2016 season, but he's an outstanding prospect with the physical traits of a lockdown corner. He ran a 4.41 40 at the combine at 6-0, 197. Humphrey had three interceptions as a redshirt freshman in 2015 and was a key playmaker for the national champs, and he had two interceptions in 2016, and the first was returned for a touchdown. Humphrey has great bloodlines, too: His father, Bobby, was a big-time running back at Alabama who was picked by the Broncos in the first round of the 1989 supplemental draft.
15. Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
Previous rank: 9 | Watch highlights
Williams' 4.5 40 at the Clemson pro day was enough to move him back to the top of my receiver rankings. Williams (6-4, 218) is a special player who made some fantastic catches in the national title game, finishing with eight receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown. He put the scary neck injury that prematurely ended his 2015 season behind him, and he was Deshaun Watson's go-to target in 2016. He finished with 98 catches for 1,361 yards and 11 touchdowns.
16. Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Previous rank: 15 | Watch highlights
One of the most productive receivers in the country over his career, Davis is a big-time playmaker with skills that will translate to the next level. He had 331 catches for 5,278 yards and 52 touchdowns in his career, and he led the country in receiving touchdowns with 19 in 2016. Davis has ideal size (6-3, 209) and length to be a great NFL wideout. I think he could be a lead option for an offense. He was considered one of the hardest workers on his team, too, and he really studies the game. We still don't know his true speed, however, because an ankle injury kept him out of drills at the combine.
17. Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida
Previous rank: 25 | Watch highlights
Injuries to both ankles caused Davis (6-1, 238) to miss a few games late in the season, and he didn't work out at the combine. He had a spectacular pro day, however, running a 4.56 40 with a 38½-inch vertical. Davis is a steady, reliable linebacker with a nose for the football. He could play inside or outside linebacker in the NFL, but he's not a pass-rusher, though he did have 5.5 sacks the past two seasons. Davis is an every-down linebacker at the next level, with the ability to cover tight ends and backs in the passing game, and he fits what teams are looking for these days. I love his intangibles, too; he has tremendous character.
18. Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Previous rank: 18 | Watch highlights
Conley has shifted between my No. 1 and No. 2 cornerback since the combine, where he ran a 4.44 40 with a 37½-inch vertical at 6-0, 195. The tape shows a consistent corner who's not afraid to stick his head in and make a tackle. He had four interceptions and broke up eight passes last season.
19. Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky
Previous rank: 24 | Watch highlights
Lamp (6-4, 309) played left tackle for the Hilltoppers, but I think he's the best guard in this class. He could have a 12-year career because of his versatility. He has good feet, is a sound technician and is very alert, which means he sees blitzes and senses stunts before the snap. These traits are why I think he's ready to play immediately in the NFL in 2017. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at center, too, like Cody Whitehair in last year's class.
20. Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
Previous rank: 16 | Watch highlights
I don't see a potential top-five talent at quarterback in this draft, but that doesn't mean a QB-needy team won't be desperate and pick one in the top five. I've had Trubisky, my top-ranked QB, going as high as No. 2 to San Francisco in my mock drafts, but he also could drop outside the top 10. In his first year as the full-time starter, Trubisky (6-2, 222) completed 68.2 percent of his passes and had 30 touchdown passes and only six interceptions. He throws a nice ball, has some touch and velocity and is mobile too. Experience is a question mark: He just doesn't have a lot of tape.
21. John Ross, WR, Washington
Previous rank: NR | Watch highlights
You probably already know about Ross' record-breaking 4.22 40 at the combine, but he had a sensational 2016 season with 81 catches for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns. It's important to note that he's much more than a straight-line speed guy. He's a playmaker. Ross isn't very big -- 5-11, 188 -- but he's not a guy who has to play in the slot. He can play outside at the next level. One thing holding him back from being the No. 1 receiver: his injury history, which includes major knee injuries that cost him most of the 2014 season and all of 2015. He's also a great kick returner.
22. Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss
Previous rank: NR | Watch highlights
I wrote after the combine that Engram was entering the first-round discussion, and I've moved him above David Njoku as my second-ranked tight end. There's a good chance he goes near the end of Day 1. He put up the best 40 time (4.42) among tight ends and the fourth-best vertical (36 inches) at the combine. At 6-3, 234, Engram had 65 catches for 925 yards and eight touchdowns in 2016. He also has experience, as he was a four-year player for the Rebels. He's a natural pass-catcher who could line up in the slot in the NFL, though he must improve his inline blocking.
23. Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina
Previous rank: NR | Watch highlights
Jones (6-2, 201) is one of my favorite prospects in this class. He just competes. As I wrote recently, what I love about him is that he'll drop a pass on one play and then go make a great block on the next play. He doesn't get down, and he always plays hard. Jones had an FBS single-season record 158 catches for 1,746 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and he owns the FBS record for most career receptions (399). He lit up the combine (4.45 40 and a 36.5-inch vertical) and was one of the best prospects at Senior Bowl practices, too.
24. Takkarist McKinley, OLB, UCLA
Previous rank: 13 | Watch highlights
Pac-12 offensive tackles had nightmares last season about McKinley, who is a dominant speed rusher. At 6-2, 250, he's not huge, but his explosion off the line is suited for today's NFL. He ran the third-fastest 40 among defensive linemen (4.59). A former junior college player, McKinley really came on as a senior, recording 10 sacks and three forced fumbles. McKinley impressed me with his motor, too, even while dealing with multiple injuries.
25. Kevin King, CB, Washington
Previous rank: NR | Watch highlights
In a great class of cornerbacks, King stands out for his size (6-3, 200) and athleticism. His 4.43 40 at the combine and numbers in other drills -- his 6.56 in the three-cone drill and 3.89 in the 20-yard shuttle were the best times of anybody at any position -- moved him up my board. He had six career interceptions for the Huskies, playing in a stacked secondary with potential second-round picks Budda Baker and Sidney Jones.

Versatility: 2
Instincts/motor: 2

Cover skills: 1
Ball skills: 2
Run support: 2
What he brings: Lattimore is atop our list in a very deep cornerback class, with natural fluidity and the size and athleticism to play within a man or zone scheme. Displays outstanding speed with the closing burst to make up ground and the ball skills to finish when provided the opportunity.
7. O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama (92)Separation skills: 3
Ball skills: 1
Big-play ability: 1
Competitiveness: 2
Blocking: 2
What he brings: The most complete tight end in the class. Howard is a big and athletic pass-catching tight end with the speed to stretch the vertical seams. In addition, he brings quality value as an inline blocker. He's got room to improve route awareness.

Take-on skills: 2
Range vs. run: 1
Tackling: 1
Third-down capabilities: 2

9. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford (92)Competitiveness: 1
Vision/patience: 2
Agility/acceleration: 1
Power/balance: 3
Passing game: 1
What he brings: McCaffery is a three-way player who can contribute as a running back and returner on special teams and is one of the most polished receivers we've ever evaluated at the position. Outstanding intangibles and NFL-ready to contribute from day one.

Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 1
Run support: 3
What he brings: A ball-hawking safety who possesses playmaking instincts and outstanding range as a center fielder, Hooker is in the Ed Reed mold with his ability to convert turnovers into points. Room to become more consistent in run support but is active and willing in this area.
11. Haason Reddikk, ILB, Temple (92)Instincts/recognition: 3
Take-on skills: 3
Range vs. run: 2
Tackling: 2
Third-down capabilities: 1

12. Mike Williams, WR, Clemson (91)Separation skills: 3
Ball skills: 1
Big-play ability: 2
Competitiveness: 2
What he brings: A big and physical receiver, Williams needs polish with his routes but has the size and strength to create late separation when the ball is in the air. He's got the potential to develop into a one-on-one matchup problem outside the hashes and in the red zone due to his size, strength and ball skills.
13. Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee (91)Pass-rush skills: 1
Versus the run: 2
Versatility: 2
Instincts/motor: 2
What he brings: Tone-setter who is a better football player than athlete. He is one of the most natural edge rushers in the class, with outstanding snap anticipation, bend and closing burst. Barnett also brings quality instincts and point-of-attack skills setting the edge defending the run.
14. David Njoku, TE, Miami (Fla.) (91)Separation skills: 1
Ball skills: 3
Big-play ability: 1
Competitiveness: 2
Blocking: 3
What he brings: A move, or "F," tight end with freakish athleticism. He can become a more consistent inline blocker and add detail with his route running, but he has the chance to develop into a difference-maker in the pass game with rare run-after-catch ability for the position.
15. Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan (91)Separation skills: 1
Ball skills: 3
Big-play ability: 2
Competitiveness: 2
What he brings: Davis has a very good combination of size, speed, toughness and route-running savvy. He does have some drops but makes up for it with his wide catch radius and ability to haul in the tough catches in contested situations.
16. Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky (90)Pass protection: 2
Run blocking: 2
Awareness: 3
Toughness: 1
What he brings: A converted tackle who will likely move inside at the NFL level. He is a grinder who plays with great technique and balance, and also has the intelligence and versatility to line up at multiple spots along the offensive line. Plug-and-play starter from day one.
17. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State (90)Competitiveness: 3
Vision/patience: 1
Agility/acceleration: 2
Power/balance: 3
Passing game: 2
What he brings: Cook is the most natural runner of running back class. He is elusive, has outstanding vision and patience and acceleration out of cuts, as well as bringing quality versatility in the passing game. Durability and ball security are slight concerns.
18. Charles Harris, OLB, Missouri (90)Instincts/recognition: 3
Take-on skills: 3
Range vs. run: 1
Tackling: 2
Third-down capabilities: 1
What he brings: An athletic and explosive athlete who was a former high school basketball standout, Harris is a speed rusher who has very good first step quickness and bend turning the corner. He's got a chance to become an impact edge defender if he can add bulk and improve his core strength.
19. Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama (90)Pass protection: 3
Run blocking: 1
Awareness: 2
Toughness: 2
What he brings: Robinson is a powerful run-blocker with the length and flexibility to develop into an above-average pass-blocker with improved footwork. He's expected to push for a starting role, though he might have to move to right tackle or guard early in his career.
20. John Ross, WR, Washington (90)Separation skills: 2
Ball skills: 2
Big-play ability: 1
Competitiveness: 2
What he brings: An explosive playmaker who can line up in the slot and outside the hashes. He possesses rare speed (4.22 40-yard dash at the combine) but also runs quality routes and is extremely dangerous with the ball in his hands both after the catch and as a returner on special teams. Lack of size and durability are concerns.
21. Evan Engram, TE, Mississippi (90)
Separation skills: 1
Ball skills: 2
Big-play ability: 2
Competitiveness: 3
Blocking: 4
What he brings: A four-year starter and two-time captain, Engram is an undersized move tight end who is never going to be a great blocker. However, he's a polished route runner whose combination of size, speed and athletic ability makes him a matchup nightmare.
22. Kevin King, CB, Washington (89)Instincts/recognition: 2
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 2
Run support: 3
What he brings: He is a long, fast and rangy cornerback who also has experience lining up at safety. King has rare athleticism for his size with good ball awareness, and he is a physical tackler in run support. Brings quality value covering punts and kicks on special teams.
23. Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama (89)Instincts/recognition: 2
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 3
Run support: 1
What he brings: While there's room for improvement when it comes to playing the ball and his eye discipline in zone coverage, Humphrey has the length, speed and fluidity to develop into a No. 1 corner. Plus, he's a reliable tackler and outstanding run defender.
24. Takkarist McKinley, DE/OLB, UCLA (89)Pass-rush skills: 2
Versus the run: 2
Versatility: 3
Instincts/motor: 1
What he brings: An explosive edge rusher, McKinley has excellent snap anticipation and first-step quickness to threaten the edge quickly as a pass-rusher. Also plays with the physical demeanor and relentless motor that teams look for in the front seven.
25. Jarrad Davis, ILB, Florida (89)Instincts/recognition: 3
Take-on skills: 2
Range vs. run: 1
Tackling: 3
Third-down capabilities: 3
What he brings: An explosive run-and-hit linebacker who has quality instincts and covers sideline to sideline defending the run. Room to grow in coverage but improved throughout his career, and he is an underrated blitzer. Davis has elite football character and work ethic.
26. Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU (89)Instincts/recognition: 1
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 3
Run support: 3
What he brings: A team captain with excellent intangibles and work ethic, White is an instinctive cover corner with average size, good speed and quick feet. He's got some tightness in his hips and he has average overall ball skills.
27. Mitchell Trubisky, QB, North Carolina (89)Mental makeup: 2
Accuracy: 2
Release/arm strength: 2
Pocket mobility: 1
What he brings: Only was a one-year starter (13 career starts) and will need time to develop and hone his craft. He's an accurate passer with the frame and quality pocket awareness, mobility and arm strength to develop into an effective NFL starter.
28. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson (88)Mental makeup: 2
Accuracy: 3
Release/arm strength: 2
Pocket mobility: 1
What he brings: Watson's ability to transition to a pro-style offense will ultimately dictate whether or not he succeeds in the NFL. A proven winner, there's no denying he has the physical tools and rare intangibles to develop into a franchise quarterback.
29. Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC (88)Instincts/recognition: 3
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 1
Run support: 3
What he brings: One of the most explosive and versatile players in this draft, Jackson is an undersized corner with the potential to develop outstanding man-to-man cover skills with improved technique. He's expected to make an immediate impact in the return game.
30. Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin (88)Pass protection: 1
Run blocking: 2
Awareness: 2

150. Roderick Johnson, OT, Florida State (61)
Instincts/recognition: 3
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 2
Run support: 2
What he brings: Evans gambles and gets caught out of position, but his aggressiveness and above-average ball skills also lead to big plays. Plus, he plays faster than his timed top-end speed, he has above-average short area cover skills, and he's tough against the run.
93. Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M (73)Pass-rush skills: 3
Versus the run: 2
Versatility: 3
Instincts/motor: 2
What he brings: Hall is a developing pass-rusher who needs to continue to flesh out his arsenal of moves, but he has the tools to succeed, including excellent length - 35 1/2-inch arms -- and good initial quickness to realize his upside. He's an above-average run defender.
94. Cam Sutton, CB, Tennessee (73)Instincts/recognition: 2
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 2
Run support: 4
What he brings: Sutton dealt with a lower leg injury and failed to get on track as a senior in 2016. He has average size but shows quality awareness, along with the quickness and mirror skills to potentially develop into a starter as a slot corner.
95. Davis Webb, QB, California (73)Mental makeup: 3
Accuracy: 2
Release/arm strength: 1
Pocket mobility: 4
What he brings: A Texas Tech transfer who has had some durability issues, Webb will face a steep learning curve in his transition from the Air Raid offense, and his accuracy is inconsistent. On the positive side, he has prototypical size, very good arm strength and the football intelligence to absorb.
96. Gerald Everett, TE, South Alabama (73)Separation skills: 2
Ball skills: 2
Big-play ability: 2
Competitiveness: 2
Blocking: 4
What he brings: Everett is an undersized tight end who can move around the offense. He has above-average athleticism, reliable hands and the speed to stretch the vertical seams. He is a UAB transfer who didn't start playing football until his senior year of high school and still needs some developing as a route runner. Everett's best football could still be ahead of him.
97. John Johnson, S, Boston College (73)Instincts/recognition: 2
Cover skills: 2
Ball skills: 2
Run support: 4
What he brings: Johnson needs to continue to get stronger and become more consistent in run support. He is an instinctive and fluid athlete who shows quality range. Johnson also has the ball skills to finish when in position. Comes with some minor durability concerns from early in his career.
98. Lorenzo Jerome, S, Saint Francis (73)Instincts/recognition: 1
Cover skills: 3
Ball skills: 2
Run support: 2
What he brings: A smaller safety who didn't test well at the combine, Jerome is a better football player than athlete, and he eased concerns about the level of competition he faced in college with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl. Jerome's experience returning kicks will help his stock.
99. Ben Gedeon, ILB, Michigan (73)Instincts/recognition: 1
Take-on skills: 2
Range vs. run: 3
Tackling: 2
Third-down capabilities: 4
What he brings: Gedeon possesses fast eyes and quick recognition skills as a run-defender to go along with quality awareness in coverage. He has some physical limitations that may prevent him from becoming a full-time starter, but he's capable of contributing as a backup linebacker and core special teams player.
100. Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina (73)Separation skills: 3
Ball skills: 2
Big-play ability: 1
Competitiveness: 1
What he brings: Hollins, who is coming off a season-ending broken collarbone injury, is a former walk-on with the frame, length and top-end speed to stretch the field. A special teams captain throughout his college career, he projects as a core special teams' player at the next level.
