Jeff Legwold ranks the highest 100 potentialities

During the last a number of months because the NFL prepares for the 2023 draft, there were two issues evaluators have agreed at the maximum: (1), The highest 4 quarterbacks on this draft don’t seem to be the highest 4 gamers at the board; (2), In spite of that, historical past will likely be made if the ones 4 quarterbacks are decided on 1-2-3-4 (most likely with the assistance of any other blockbuster industry).

Such is the facility of the placement. It’ll be a drastic departure from the 2022 draft when the primary quarterback — Kenny Pickett — did not come off the board till the Pittsburgh Steelers took him at No. 20 and the fourth quarterback — Matt Corral — did not come off the board till the 1/3 spherical with decide No. 94 by way of the Carolina Panthers.

It has additionally been a very long time because the height cornerbacks at the board are bodily larger than the highest receivers, with groups sorting via a bevy of 175- to 185-pound wideouts.

With the 2023 NFL draft (April 27, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC, ESPN App) nearing, we provide a height 100 according to grades, no longer function. This is not a ridicule draft, simply the highest 100 gamers ranked, irrespective of function.

Thank you once more to all who took the time to speak, resolution my pile of questions and publish with this annual mission, together with a few of whom have publish with it for properly over 3 many years.

Word: Absolute best verified or electronically timed 40-yard sprint time in parentheses.

1. Will Anderson Jr., OLB, Alabama, 6-foot-3½. 253 kilos (4.60)

He would were the most productive participant at the board within the 2022 draft as properly. The one two-time unanimous All-American within the storied program’s historical past with 34.5 profession sacks (2d most effective to Derrick Thomas in Purple Tide historical past), 62 tackles for loss in 41 profession video games. His talent set is huge and units a competent, company edge. Rushes with energy and explosiveness. People truly mustn’t overthink this one.

2. Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech, 6-5⅝, 271 (DNR)

A fractured foot in November ended his ultimate season after shifting from Texas A&M, so the clinical staffs across the league can have so much to mention about the place he’s decided on. A little bit of a projection and a few scouts sought after to peer just a little extra fierceness in his play. However his flashes of dominance, body (84½-inch wingspan is greater than all however 3 offensive linemen on the mix) and lateral quickness to the ball are precisely what defensive coordinators need.

3. Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas, 5-11, 215 (4.41)

Glance, I perceive all the knowledge, but when having this working again this excessive at the board is fallacious, I do not wish to be proper. Quibble in case you should along with his blitz pickup, however he has pace, imaginative and prescient, breaks tackles (greater than two dozen in a single back-to-back sport phase this season on my own) and performs with frame regulate in addition to dependable fingers within the passing sport. Depart him at the board and anyone else will likely be ecstatic that you simply did.

4. Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois, 5-11½, 181 (4.43)

Groups should make a decision for themselves why his timed pace at his personal professional day this month used to be higher than he presentations in video games every now and then. However he understands course ideas, persistently disrupts receivers, unearths the ball (14 passes damaged up in 2022 on my own) and is a more-than-willing tackler in run enhance.

5. Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon, 6-1⅜, 197 (4.38)

The phrase maximum frequently used to explain him by way of coaches and scouts is “easy.” With the size-speed-explosiveness aggregate each and every defensive coordinator needs, he mirrors receivers with few false steps and averaged just below 30 yards in line with go back on his 4 interceptions ultimate season.

6. Peter Skoronski, T, Northwestern, 6-4, 313 (5.16)

Some have vehemently argued Skoronski must transfer to protect once he is drafted. However I nonetheless see a handle when his footwork in cross coverage (he surrendered one sack in ’22) and motion to the second one point within the run sport are on show. Skoronski used to be a three-year starter at left handle for the Wildcats.

7. C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State, 6-3, 214 (DNR)

Yep, he is QB1 — by way of the cut up hair of a cut up hair. A very simple thrower to all portions of the sector with elite accuracy as the varsity’s first quarterback to throw for a minimum of six touchdowns in a sport 3 times. NFL people were given a preview of what used to be to come back when he threw to Buckeyes receivers on the college’s professional day. His 348 yards passing and 4 landing throws in opposition to Georgia in December have been scientific.

8. Bryce Younger, QB, Alabama, 5-10⅛ , 204 (DNR)

His composure, decision-making in actual time and working out of bother spots in coverages are ridiculously just right. There’s no query he’s in regulate of what an offense is doing. His deep-ball accuracy is not slightly as just right as Stroud’s and a few will do a variety of hand-wringing about his length, but when he makes it Activity 1 to stick on time table as a professional — like Drew Brees — he can flourish.

9. Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson, 6-4¾, 268 (4.51)

Murphy is a high-effort participant with length and tool. His six compelled fumbles during the last 3 seasons are one of the best within the Energy 5 leagues as he has performed from down in a stance in addition to a stand-up rusher at the edge. There’s a rawness to his sport — he wishes some counters when his largest hits are negated by way of NFL tackles — however anyone who performs this tough this frequently will prevail.

10. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama, 5-9⅛, 199 (4.36)

Gibbs, a switch from Georgia Tech, has uncommon acceleration and is adept at changing his pace to get simply the precise second to take the nook. He averaged 6.6 yards in line with convey for the Purple Tide ultimate season with 44 receptions. His course working and dependable fingers within the passing sport make him an intriguing choice for various playbooks.

11. Paris Johnson Jr., T, Ohio State, 6-6⅜ , 313 (DNR)

Johnson goes to wish time to easy out his tough edges, however with the ability to crush cross rushers again and again is a great place to begin. As a professional he should play with extra energy, however his length, easy footwork and consciousness is on the height of this board.

12. Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame, 6-4½, 249 (4.70)

There are others on this deep TE magnificence who’re quicker and extra fluid receivers however Mayer may well be the most productive at contested catches and gives a excessive point of blockading talent on the in-line tight finish function.

13. Brian Department, CB, Alabama, 5-11⅝ , 190 (4.58)

At Alabama Department in large part performed a slot nook function within the protection (Nick Saban’s “Big name” function) with a full-scale working out of fighters’ offenses every week. There aren’t any vital holes in his sport given he had 90 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 3 sacks and 7 cross breakups this previous season on my own.

14. O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida, 6-5⅜, 330 (5.31)

Torrence has some technical problems and will get stuck leaning from time to time, however he is tough, fast to regulate and performed with no penalty this previous season. He is a walk-in starter at the inner and confirmed a glimpse of his play energy in opposition to Georgia’s Jalen Carter and within the Senior Bowl practices.

15. Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State, 6-2½, 193 (4.46)

Porter’s length, physicality and top-end pace will make him a sooner have compatibility in a protection that performs extra press-man, redirecting receivers who problem him with function. He had six cross breakups in a sport in opposition to Purdue ultimate season and had 19 in his 30 profession video games.

16. Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia, 6-3, 314 (DNR)

Carter can be decided on ahead of this spot and has exceptional sport pictures. However his draft spot stays up within the air as he is going through fees in connection to a deadly twist of fate of a teammate and an athletic staffer. Some scouts say he has raised different off-the-field questions as he weighed 9 kilos extra at professional day and regarded slow in regimen function drills.

17. Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia, 6-2¼, 238 (4.39)

Smith’s 2022 season ended with a torn pectoral muscle in October. There may be the standard worry from scouts a couple of 230-pounder preserving up over the lengthy haul at linebacker, however he is one of the crucial excellent linebackers within the draft magnificence, a gorgeous chief who performs with leverage and toughness. A considerate defensive coordinator will reap the advantages.

18. Broderick Jones, T, Georgia, 6-5⅜, 311 (4.97)

With 19 profession begins — 15 this previous season for the Bulldogs — Jones’ excellent soccer is forward of him. He performs with the agility of a way smaller participant blended with the facility befitting his length. And his day-to-day paintings in observe in opposition to the Bulldogs’ protection used to be higher than maximum tackles confronted on any sport day.

19. Darnell Wright, T, Tennessee, 6-5⅜, 333 (5.01)

No participant in this draft board will have moved up groups’ scores on this previous season greater than Wright. A transfer again to proper handle in ’22 — he performed left handle in 2021 — used to be fruitful for him and the Vols’ offense. He performed 42 video games and a pair of,746 snaps in his profession and nonetheless must refine some issues in cross coverage, however uncooked energy is apparent on an extended résumé.

20. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State, 6-0⅝, 196 (4.49)

Smith-Njigba performed in simply 3 video games this previous season on account of a hamstring damage and all however 92 of his profession 1,698 receiving yards got here in a single season (2021). His routes are blank, he performs with toughness and he wins the ball in contested scenarios. His draft function will likely be decided if groups can see him as greater than a slot receiver.

21. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State, 6-5 7/8, 253 (4.61)

Musgrave has a restricted résumé with the 2020 COVID season and a knee damage that restricted him to 2 video games this previous season. His high-end Senior Bowl week has carried a variety of weight. Musgrave is a top quality course runner who must persistently win matchups within the passing sport with a more-than-willing means as a blocker.

22. Will McDonald IV, DE, Iowa State, 6-3 5/8, 239 (4.69)

McDonald used to be a four-sport player in highschool. He used to be a state champion in discus and had a third-place end in excessive bounce. He has the versatility in his hips to move with the in-the-moment creativity of the elite pass-rushers and tied the Giant 12 report with 34 profession sacks.

23. Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland, 6-0 ¼, 197 (4.35)

Banks had two profession interceptions in 30 profession video games, however he will have led the country in staggered receivers off the road of scrimmage and has pro-ready skill to restrict a receiver’s unlock. He has elite bodily characteristics and competes each and every snap with a convenience point in various protection appears.

24. Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa, 6-5, 272 (4.58)

Van Ness has simply the easiest grade at the board for a participant who did not get started any video games for his staff during the last two seasons. He had 19.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks during the last two seasons blended, however there may be extra in there if he can to find consistency. Van Ness additionally has particular groups price — he blocked two punts in a single sport.

25. Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU, 6-2 ¾, 208 (4.49)

Johnston has a quarterback-friendly catch radius however, with an extended stride, should run extra subtle routes as a professional — too frequently he allowed defenders a ways much less succesful to hide him out and in of slow breaks. He averaged 19 yards in line with catch over 3 seasons.

26. Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee, 6-0 1/8, 176 kilos (4.40)

Hyatt should end up he has solutions for cornerbacks who attempt to push him round so he can not benefit from the unfastened releases he had within the Vols’ unfold assault. However he has pace, is a savvy course runner and had 15 touchdowns in 2022. In spite of weighing 176 kilos, he is a greater, and extra prepared, blocker at the perimeter than many on this magnificence.

27. Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida, 6-4¼, 244 (4.43)

Maximum within the league be expecting Richardson to be decided on a ways forward of this spot. He can do issues maximum quarterbacks can not with an influence arm and mobility. Richardson had 5 landing runs of a minimum of 45 yards. He would possibly not get sufficient credit score for the pocket consciousness and footwork, however he has to fix career-threatening accuracy problems or he’s going to at all times be a tantalizing passer who does not do sufficient between the flashes of brilliance.

28. Keion White, OLB, Georgia Tech, 6-4 7/8, 285 (4.79)

White, who transferred from Previous Dominion, is a transformed tight finish and one of the crucial excellent massive males on this draft. There have been a variety of instances at the sport video the place he is shadowing a working again in protection, then bull speeding a handle and, in any case, successful the brink with pace. An ankle damage restricted him early in faculty profession.

29. BJ Ojulari, OLB, LSU, 6-2 3/8, 248 (DNR)

Ojulari did not run on the mix and did function drills most effective at his professional day on account of a proper hamstring damage. The possible is apparent along with his flexibility and pace off the brink. But it surely additionally raises the query of why he did not have a complete sack in any sport after Oct. 1 ultimate season. Ojulari has proven he is usually a high quality rusher however wishes to seek out consistency.

30. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah, 6-3 5/8, 246 (DNR)

Kincaid, who transferred from San Diego, didn’t determine on the mix on account of a again damage and didn’t participate in Utah’s professional day. He additionally handled a shoulder damage this previous season. In a deep magnificence of tight ends, he is also the most productive natural receiver within the workforce: 106 catches, 1,400 yards and 16 touchdowns the previous two seasons blended.

31. Drew Sanders, ILB, Arkansas, 6-4 3/8, 235 (4.58)

Sanders transferred from Alabama and completed his most effective season with the Razorbacks as an All-American with 103 tackles, 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. He had simply 3 begins ahead of ultimate season, however his versatility and talent outweigh a restricted résumé. He additionally coated up as an edge rusher.

32. Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson, 6-5 ½, 298 (4.86)

Bresee confirmed multi-position versatility in his 3 seasons at Clemson. He did omit time with a torn ACL that restricted him to 4 video games in 2021 and a kidney an infection that compelled him to omit more than one video games this previous season, however he is adept at beating blocks as he assists in keeping imaginative and prescient at the ball provider when he is at the discipline.

33. Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh, 6-1, 281 (4.67)

Kancey has turn out to be a celeb main as much as the draft along with his performances on the Senior Bowl and the mix. He had 14.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles for loss in his two seasons as a starter. Scheme will subject for Kancey on the subsequent point, although, as a result of he’s fairly undersized to strive against guards, however he is gifted and explosive at the inner.

34. Zay Vegetation. WR, Boston School, 5-9 ¼, 182 (4.42)

Vegetation is fluid at the discipline and his routes are not simple for defenders to reflect on account of his method. He had 12 of his staff’s 21 landing receptions this previous season and completed with a minimum of 789 extra receiving yards and 49 receptions than somebody else at the staff. He’s going to want to blank up his drops as he had two dozen in his profession — with 9 coming ultimate season.

35. Jordan Addison, WR, USC, 5-11 1/8, 173 (4.54)

Addison transferred from Pitt and a few scouts consider he used to be a extra well-rounded participant with the Panthers, together with successful the Biletnikoff Award there in 2021 with 17 touchdowns. Addison handled a lingering ankle damage ultimate season and neglected 3 video games general. He didn’t determine on the mix, bringing up a again damage. He is an affect participant as soon as he has the ball, however cornerbacks have been ready to frustrate him with physicality.

36. Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State, 6-3 1/8, 255 (DNR)

He didn’t run on the mix on account of a proper foot damage and did some function drills at professional day. Any bobbles in method, and there are a couple of, are greater than outweighed by way of a savvy and consciousness within the cross rush. His growth ultimate season confirmed his willingness to paintings on his sport. He completed his profession with 20.5 sacks (8.5 ultimate season) and 8 compelled fumbles.

37. Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State, 6-0 ¾, 166 (4.35)

I watched Samari Rolle flourish in an 11-year profession with a equivalent body, play taste and intelligence in protection. The man unearths the ball and is a better. He had 14 profession interceptions (six of which he returned for a landing) and two seasons when he had a minimum of 5 interceptions.

38. Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia, 6-1 ¾, 207 (4.36)

The scale, pace, physicality and willingness to handle are all height shelf for Ringo. However he is drawn a couple of too many flags every now and then and surrendered massive performs, regardless of the Bulldogs’ dominance in speeding the passer, as a result of he does not at all times find the ball briefly sufficient. He has 4 profession interceptions and 19 profession cross break-ups.

39. Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina, 5-8 ¾, 171 (4.48)

His skill to regulate pace in his routes to make space jumps off the movie. He has a variety of pace and excessive manufacturing — back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with 8 and 11 touchdowns, respectively. He additionally averaged 9.8 and 13.3 yards in line with punt go back the ultimate two seasons.

40. John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota, 6-3 ½, 301 (5.35)

In a skinny workforce general at middle, he is among the maximum pro-ready potentialities. He has consciousness, composure and is forceful within the working sport. His paintings on the Senior Bowl in cross coverage additionally drew raves. He has a huge frame of labor as properly with 44 video games (33 begins).

41. Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee, 6-3 3/8, 213 (4.54)

An ankle damage restricted Tillman to simply six video games this previous season, which is why some have him ranked less than this. However he’s tricky and wins contested passes the best way an NFL wideout should. In 2021, Tillman had profession video games — together with a 200-yard effort in opposition to Georgia and 152 yards in opposition to Alabama — that are meant to be at the must-watch listing for evaluators.

42. Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia, 6-6 5/8, 264 (4.64)

Washington is a possible mismatch for a protection in more than one levels of the offense — as a blocker within the run sport and a receiver within the passing sport. He had simply two landing catches ultimate season, however that used to be extra an element of the Bulldogs’ embarrassment of riches (together with tight finish Brock Bowers). There may be such a lot of Washington’s sport to release.

43. Joe Tippmann, C/G, Wisconsin, 6-6, 313 (DNR)

Tippmann did not determine on the mix on account of a hamstring damage however did function drills at a non-public professional day on April 7. He’s taller than some evaluators like at middle, however he performs with flexibility and strikes properly. Tippmann has one of the crucial excellent play energy at the board. His coaches graded him with one sack allowed in 2022.

44. Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee, 6-3, 217 (DNR)

Hooker suffered a torn left ACL in past due November, because of this his rookie 12 months will likely be impacted. Hooker performs with poise and throws on time. On the other hand, he has been in large part what scouts name a “half-field” quarterback within the Vols’ unfold assault — as in he’s going to paintings progressions at the different facet of the sector from the principle. However Hooker’s footwork, decision-making and consciousness will make him properly well worth the effort.

45. Will Levis, QB, Kentucky, 6-3 7/8, 229 (DNR)

Levis has elite energy in his arm and is bodily enforcing with toughness within the pocket. On the other hand, in the long run the NFL is a sport of decision-making and accuracy. Levis’ good fortune will hinge on his willingness to position within the paintings in the ones spaces with a personnel affected person sufficient to do it. If in a different way left unrepaired, the ones problems will at all times overpower any arm, even his.

46. Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa, 6-3 ¼, 245 (4.59)

If it is April, there should be a Hawkeyes tight finish at the draft radar. It is no small factor that LaPorta’s prospective used to be ready to polish via in one of the crucial country’s maximum restricted passing video games. He has positional versatility as a receiver outdoor, within the slot in addition to inline, and that has moved him up the board for a number of groups.

47. Cody Mauch, T, North Dakota State, 6-5, 302 (5.08)

It’s possible you’ll get a number of other solutions about the place Mauch will play as a professional — he has been evaluated in any respect 5 spots alongside the offensive line. Regardless of the place he strains up, he is fierce and closes the deal within the run sport. With a while and a focus, he’s a starter who supplies insurance coverage at every other function alongside the road.

48. Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan, 6-3, 323 (DNR)

Smith did not determine on the mix and finished most effective function drills at his professional day. He’s a potential-over-production participant with a 1/2 sack in 35 profession video games. However in an NFL the place defenses are seeking to live on in lighter bins, he’s a top quality participant who ruled in opposition to the run and will dent the pocket inside of within the cross rush.

49. Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson, 6-2 3/8, 235 (4.43)

Simpson is a bit of of a riddle. When he is happy with what he has recognized on a play, few, if any, linebackers within the country come with regards to his athletic skill. However he additionally will get shoved out of the play just a little too frequently, and the sport video presentations too many arm handle makes an attempt. The staff that unlocks extra may just get a productive starter with uncommon pace.

50. Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M, 6-1 7/8, 198 (4.52)

In a 12 months so gentle on safeties, Johnson is among the excellent potentialities on the function. He is way more at ease transferring towards the road of scrimmage with 14 tackles for loss to move with 4 compelled fumbles in his profession, however works properly in protection within the quick and intermediate spaces.

51. Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC, 6-3, 266 (DNR)

The Pac 12 Defensive Participant of the 12 months had 13.5 sacks this previous season with 22 tackles for loss. He did not determine on the mix (hamstring) and did not run a 40 at a wet USC professional day. He’s fast off the ball and understands the right way to do away with blockers. He has prospective in both a 3-4 or a 4-3 entrance.

52. Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati, 5-9 7/8, 177 (4.44)

Fortune may just truly choose the daring for a staff that dives in previous than this slot. He’s a transformed working again with sufficient pace to were within the Junior Olympics. He is nonetheless studying as a receiver, however his 9 receiving touchdowns of a minimum of 20 yards ultimate season to move with 4 100-yard video games display the development he has already made.

53. Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State, 6-4 ¾, 254 (4.69)

Kraft suffered an ankle damage that required surgical treatment in his staff’s first offensive ownership of the 2022 season, so he neglected six video games. He had 9 landing catches over his ultimate 24 video games performed general and his physicality as soon as he has the ball in his fingers will likely be sexy for any offense that performs two-tight finish units.

54. Dawand Jones, T, Ohio State, 6-8 ¼, 374 (5.35)

His 87 7/8-inch wingspan used to be the most important on the mix. That extend blended along with his uncooked energy despatched a variety of pass-rushers again to the drafting board with grass stains at the again in their jerseys. His footwork does get tangled every now and then, however gamers along with his profile to find good fortune in the event that they paintings throughout the tough spots and take care of their conditioning.

55. Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa, 6-4 5/8, 249 (4.65)

Campbell has a top quality multisport profile, having led Cedar Falls (Iowa) Top Faculty to back-to-back state basketball titles. He is tall for the placement — he performed inside of for the Hawkeyes — however he performs with high quality eye self-discipline as he strikes successfully to the ball and is a positive tackler. He has 143 tackles in 2021 and 128 tackles this previous season.

56. Steve Avila, G/C, TCU, 6-3 ½, 332 (4.74)

Avila began video games at middle, proper guard, left guard and proper handle in his profession as a three-year starter at TCU. He initiatives as a guard within the NFL and is a secure wager. Given his energy/agility aggregate, he’s going to push to play briefly.

57. Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame, 6-5 1/8, 264 (4.58)

Foskey had back-to-back 11-sack seasons to near out his profession. A staff captain, he has all he must be an impactful, disruptive participant at the edge, however there are too many moments when he is not. He does not at all times hold blockers’ fingers off him regardless of a achieve merit. Particular groups coaches will understand he blocked 4 punts in his profession, two in a single sport.

58. Keeanu Benton. DT, Wisconsin, 6-3 ¾, 309 (5.08)

Longtime line of defense trainer Jim Washburn as soon as instructed me “pads excessive, say good-bye” and Benton is that participant. When he performs with high quality method, he’s a fierce presence at the inside of who again and again will get blockers off stability like a long run NFL starter must. But if he performs too excessive, and he does every now and then, he surrenders a ways an excessive amount of flooring or will get entangled.

59. Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor, 6-2 7/8, 335 (5.39)

Scouts say Ika must toughen his method in how he handles blockers, however a few of that deficiency will also be attributed to his skill to easily overpower them up to now. He is fast off the ball, drives his fingers via blockers and disrupts float. If he can play with just a little extra imaginative and prescient when he discards blockers, he may just make way more splash performs — he had simply two tackles for loss this previous season.

60. DJ Turner II, CB, Michigan, 5-11 ¼, 178 (4.26)

Within the nickel protection global the NFL has turn out to be, Turner has flexibility in that he can line up outdoor or inside of within the slot. He used to be the quickest participant timed on the scouting mix this 12 months and began 22 video games over his ultimate two seasons with the Wolverines. He does not win contested passes up to some others and every now and then will get driven off the spot on the height of the course.

61. JL Skinner, S, Boise State, 6-3 ¾, 209 (DNR)

Skinner had surgical treatment in early March to fix a torn chest muscle he suffered throughout mix coaching. He had already participated in Senior Bowl practices ahead of the damage came about. He is a prepared run defender with the body, vary and ball talents. He has seven profession interceptions, 4 in 2022.

62. Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina, 6-0 ¾, 190 (4.44)

Smith has the period and pace defensive again coaches need, however his sport video confirmed a participant way more at ease in zone and stale protection. He persistently confirmed the power to get across the ball in the ones appears. Smith should blank up consequences — he had 10 this previous season, six within the staff’s first seven video games.

63. Anton Harrison, T, Oklahoma, 6-4 3/8, 315 (4.98)

Harrison’s sub-5.0 40-yard sprint places him in an elite offensive lineman membership, with the ones like Broderick Jones. Harrison performs with endurance and top-level consciousness, however his restoration talents will likely be examined if he will get off stability early in a play, and defensive ends will take a look at his energy.

64. Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah, 5-9, 184 (4.51)

It sounds fundamental, however at all times give the analysis like to cornerbacks who to find the ball. Phillips had 4 pick-sixes in his profession, 9 interceptions general and 21 cross knockdowns. He performs with elite consciousness and energy.

65. Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan, 6-5 ¼, 251 (4.63)

There are extra subtle receivers in a deep magnificence on the function, however Schoonmaker is a top quality multitasker who can play in any team of workers grouping and be offering manufacturing as a blocker or pass-catcher. A five-year letterman for the Wolverines, he performed 43 profession video games.

66. Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern, 6-1 5/8, 282 (4.49)

Any time a prospect his length runs a sub-4.5 40-yard sprint, it places him on a brief listing. Adebawore performs with explosiveness and presentations savvy in attacking blockers, however he is a riddle with regards to manufacturing every now and then. And that is the reason the rub: He had 5 sacks in 2022, however two of the ones got here in a single sport (Maryland).
