Round 3 • Pick 35
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Fast, explosive athlete who will be targeted as a run-and-hit outside linebacker with the ability to stalk from sideline to sideline. Williams is aggressive in his response to ball-carriers but can be slow to diagnose and defeat blockers during his process. His speed, aggression and explosiveness are nice traits to unleash on special teams while he is being developed as a 4-3 WILL linebacker.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Big, press-man cornerback with the traits and tools of a potential starter, but lacking a sample size of consistency to inspire confidence. Smith's average speed could be mitigated by better instincts and ball skills, but they are both works in progress. He's athletic enough for man coverage, but his collection of strengths and weaknesses requires better technique and aggression from press to gain control of the rep. Smith's ceiling is NFL starter and his floor should be fourth cornerback.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Stout four-year starter who shows up and does his job each week as a banger in the box with surprising ball skills to flip the field. He improved each season and his off-season weight loss is indicative of how seriously he takes the game. He lacks desired chase speed and might be maxed out as a player, but he doesn’t make many dire mistakes that hurt his team. Edwards is a backup inside linebacker for a 3-4 or 4-3 defense with the ability to step up and handle starter's duties if needed.

Round 6 • Pick 32
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
"Run to daylight" back who excels as an outside runner with clear paths to follow. While he can make tacklers miss, his lack of vision sometimes takes him to trafficked areas when optimal routes are available. He's a little undersized, but runs big and he already possesses NFL-level toughness in pass protection. Homer has his flaws, but he's a smooth athlete with a chance to outplay his draft slotting. His value as a punt gunner and third-down option gives him a chance for early reps right out of the gate.

Wesco has the play strength and toughness of an NFL tight end, but he's still very raw in the passing game, which could take some time to shore up. He has a terrific demeanor as a run-blocker and the footwork to become much more consistent in sustaining blocks once he gets his hand placement corrected. Teams might view him as an early developmental prospect on the practice squad with a chance to compete for a move tight end spot in the future.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Inside linebacker possessing the physical qualities of an NFL player but lacking the necessary instincts and feel to make plays on his terms. While Summers won't always play to his top speed, he could very well run a pre-draft sub 4.6 40, which could make him a late-round target for teams who view him as back-end depth and a potential core special teamer.

Early entrant who jumped into this year's draft after leaving school due to suspension. Roemer clearly needs more developmental time for both his body and his play, but his maturity might be an equal concern at this stage. His athleticism is eye-catching and he plays with above-average body control and some torque strength in his hips. He needs development early on, but there is enough talent and potential to become a swing tackle and eventual starter if he stays on track.

Elements of Brady's game can be difficult to reconcile, making his projection challenging. His technique for making simple, short catches can be rudimentary, but he'll make circus catches that require intense focus down the field. He lacks separation explosion in and out of his breaks but somehow finds catch space for himself. He lacks explosiveness so he'll need to learn to win with more polished route-running to make it as a quality NFL backup.

Round 4 • Pick 29
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Three-year starter and two-time team captain who combines brains and brawn at his left guard spot. Like most Indiana blockers, he's well-schooled and ahead of the game from a technique standpoint. He has functional athleticism but is better suited firing out that pulling or playing in space. He has NFL strength, but he plays with a lack of kneed bend that can limit his ability to anchor in both run and pass blocking. Martin offers plus value on Day 3 as a good backup with eventual starter's potential.

Round 3 • Pick 37
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Grier benefited from the West Virginia system, but that same system definitely benefited from his time there. He is a confident leader who would much rather press for the big throw than play it safe underneath. His lack of plus arm talent and release quickness might not match his gunslinger mentality against an NFL secondary. Grier will have to win from the pocket, which means working the middle of the field with better anticipation and getting rid of the ball much sooner. His disappointing Senior Bowl and combine performances have likely hurt his stock.

Long, thin press corner with the agility, foot quickness and balance to allow for stickier coverage. Crawford's average speed and slim frame could make him a target downfield. His ability to hound routes underneath is impressive, but he doesn't have the size or demeanor for frequent run support. Crawford's athleticism and ability to stay connected to routes gives him a shot as a backup cornerback either outside or from the slot.

He won't make many plays outside his area and is unlikely to see rush downs, but run-stuffers still matter and he could hear his name called later on Day 3 with a chance to become a rotational nose in an odd or even front.

Massive, nimble guard prospect with unusual combination of girth and foot quickness. Autry hasn't been tested by NFL-level talent across from him, but his size, strength and athletic traits certainly check out. While he has the athleticism to potentially match against sub-package rushers, his instincts to recognize when he's being gamed aren't there yet. Autry is capable of fitting into gap and power run schemes and could become an eventual starter if he can control and manage his weigh.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Small, hyper-instinctive linebacker who plays with "clear eyes, full heart" and consistently punches above his weight class for production totals that contradict his size. Unfortunately, size does matter -- especially in the middle of a defense -- and he might be too maxed out to add necessary mass. However, instincts and willful demeanor are traits required for outliers and Burr-Kirven has a chance to be just that kind of outlier as a backup linebacker and special teams demon.

He lacks the length and talent to hold up as a tackle and might be best-suited to move all the way inside to center if he can snap it consistently. He's a quick processor with the feet to slide from gap to gap in pass sets and he appears tailor-made for run schemes heavy on inside and outside zone thanks to his athleticism. Play strength and anchor are concerns, but he should come off the board later on Day 3.

Teams love big tackles with movement skills, but Gray offers a little more challenge for evaluators. His lack of bend causes deficiencies in sustaining blocks and in landing blocks on the move. However, in pass protection, he makes good usage of his size and his length and he might be able to hang in as a left tackle rather than the assumed push to the right side because of his size. He could go from solid to good as a starter if an offensive line coach can improve his consistency in the run game.

Wide-body tackle prospect who could get looks as a backup swing tackle but would likely benefit from a full-time move inside to guard.

He shows an ability to clear the running lanes of debris when he fires off into double teams and down blocks. A move inside to guard would minimize his weakness and maximize his strength as a backup guard with upside in a power-based run scheme.

This is a draft that has players at a variety of positions who will test historical norms when it comes to size. Denis falls in this camp. While he'’s smooth and fits the athletic standards of a single-high safety, he is painfully thin for the position and his success rate as a tackler is below average against his level of competition. Size matters to many teams at safety so it wouldn't be surprising to see teams consider him as a backup at both deep safety and cornerback.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Undersized but athletic edge defender who leaves you wanting more as a pass-rusher. His ability to punch-and-separate as a run defender and generate push as a bull-rusher despite his lack of size is a credit to his creation of leverage through efficient hand work. Carney's ability to play off blocks, slip them, chase in space and scrape with lateral quickness are indicators that a transition to a standard linebacker role might make sense. He has three-down backup ability with special teams traits as a Day 3 target.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Smooth operator working with a thin frame, but a lively arm whose confidence and ball placement promoted a solid level of consistency over the last two seasons. Wilkins slender stature and lack of experience as a full-field reader could work against him, but he caught the attention of NFL teams with a strong pro day workout showing off his arm talent and ability to throw from the pocket and on the move. Sure, he's smallish, but the tools and demeanor are where they need to be in order to become a decent NFL backup.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Attitude as a runner is urgent yet elusive and he shows an ability to create for himself in a variety of ways. Young has NFL size and runs with good vision and excellent reaction quickness to sudden tacklers in space.

Round 7 • Pick 35
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Interior rush specialist who combines quick, strong hands and lateral quickness to generate consistent pocket heat. Dogbe is an athletic rusher with a diverse rush approach which should play in his favor, but he may not be impactful enough against the run to rise beyond a backup level player with sub-rush potential. Teams could see Dogbe as a 4-3 base end or a 3-4 rush end depending on their scheme.
