Round 6 • Pick 3
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Powerful and wide, Onwenu's natural play strength is somewhat offset by his below-average athletic ability. With better hand placement and attention to footwork, he can take a step forward as a drive blocker with the ability to move bodies around, but he'll be a scheme-specific prospect who could struggle against quick, upfield players and sub-package rushers. He has backup guard ability and potential as a Day 3 pick.

Round 7 • Pick 31
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Change-of-pace back with very good burst but below average size that could limit his NFL suitors. Calais is fairly talented (and courageous) as an inside/outside zone runner, but as a pro, he will likely be considered a gadget back who makes his living in open space. His play speed is what gives him a chance, but he needs to run with better patience to improve his control and elusiveness in the open field. He's not much of a third-down option, but his history as a punt-team gunner works in his favor.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Charismatic kicker and fan favorite -- as long as he's making his kicks. His thick, black-rimmed glasses have become his trademark, but so too are booming touchbacks and a big leg to hit 50-yard field goals with plenty of ball flight leftover. Blankenship rarely mishits the football, but does need to make sure he elevates drive kicks consistently. He should be the first kicker off the board.

Round 4 • Pick 34
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Four-year starter and team leader with a physical demeanor and impressive level of production. Quarterman is durable and dependable in the middle of the defense, but he lacks NFL range and has below-average short-area agility and quickness as open-field tackler. He's a linear, downhill thumper, but struggles to stay ahead of climbing blocks when runs flow wide. His size and toughness give him a shot as a backup inside linebacker.

Round 7 • Pick 36
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Short college tackle with good quickness and leverage. Will need to bump inside due to a lack of functional length. Anchrum does an excellent job of getting to landmarks laterally as a move blocker and has above-average body control to adjust and capture his second-level blocks. He has the tools to fire out and operate as a base blocker but could find himself controlled by two-gapping defensive tackles due to his short arms and average hand quickness. Despite his lack of desired size and length, he could be a nice, capable fit as a quality backup guard for a team looking to play in space.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Bass does a nice job of creating a repeatable process and has a history of accuracy on intermediate kicks when conditions aren't extreme. He doesn't have much experience beyond 50 yards, but showed off plenty of leg at the Senior Bowl and pretty good deep accuracy to go with it. His ability to blast kickoffs for touchbacks is a plus in his favor. If he can prove to teams that his lack of sample size from deep has no bearing on his ability to make those kicks, he could hear his name called on Day 3.

Round 5 • Pick 5
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Well-built slot receiver who tends to take what the defense gives him but doesn't really have the skillset to threaten and defeat coverage on a regular basis. He doesn't have a big early burst or desired long speed so he's likely to wear coverage unless he's bunched or in motion. His hands are reliable and he's quick in transitioning from catch to run in the quick passing game. He's a fearless, downhill kick returner with a running back's vision and can flip the field for his team, but he needs to prove he's worthy of a receiver spot on the roster to make a team.

Inside/outside receiving option with the technique and instincts to handle more sophisticated routes early in his career. Lipscomb can uncover with efficient, quiet routes on the first and second levels and gets check marks with his hands, body control and run-after-catch ability. The biggest concern will be how he handles the physicality of NFL corners who will offer more resistance both off the release and with contested catches. He has the talent to become a relatively productive pro.

Competitive runner with a compact frame who can be elusive but should not be labeled as finesse. Phillips is an instinctive runner in space who can stack moves and burst laterally to circumvent tacklers. He's an experienced zone runner who can get to challenging cutback lanes but appears to be more comfortable as an outside runner than between the tackles. He could challenge for a spot as a RB3 but might need to prove he can handle special teams and/or third-down duties to improve his chances.

Round 4 • Pick 39
PLAYER ANALYSIS
There will be teams who scratch Driscoll off their lists completely due to a lack of length and play strength, but zone-scheme teams who covet athleticism over brawn might take a look. He will need to add real mass and muscle in order to have a shot. His athleticism shouldn't be overstated, but he does have range as a run blocker and in pass protection. Driscoll has some pass protection ability that can be further cultivated, but he's scheme limited as a run blocker. His short arms could cause teams to view him as a developmental guard with tackle value in a pinch.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Former four-star prospect with good versatility and aggressiveness against the run and pass. Despite being a starter for only one season, Mayden played with solid awareness and confidence on the back end and was asked to play three positions just like his more heralded teammate, Xavier McKinney. His anticipation and burst work well over short spaces, but his short-stepping gait makes it tougher to close out larger patches of turf. He hasn't been a core special-teamer while at Alabama, but will need to prove he can do it as a potential backup in the league.

Defensive lineman good size and strength, but finding a positional fit could be a little bit challenging. Coe has the body type and natural power of an odd-front defensive end, but he needs to play with better anchor and feel for the blocking scheme in front of him. He flashes rugged tendencies, but needs to embrace that part of his game at the point of attack as he lacks the quickness and twitch to be a consistent playmaker or pass rusher. If a team can pair better technique and body control with his traits, he might develop into an NFL backup along the interior.

He has both center and tackle experience but will likely be considered solely as an interior lineman. Possesses average size and good balance. Plays with a wide base at the point of attack and up to the second level as a run blocker. He finds early positioning but too often fails to follow through as a finisher. He's capable in pass protection, but needs to be quicker and more accurate with his punch. Cabral has backup center/guard ability but could be asked to do more at some point.

Round 3 • Pick 11
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Guard/center prospect whose run-blocking and pass protection tape are polar opposites. He's not a natural bender and the hand placement is rough, making sustaining blocks a challenge. However, the narrow base as a drive blocker turns into a wide, balanced base in pass sets. He's a terrific processor of twists and blitzes who expedites his process and finds his work. If a team can improve the hands and body control they might have something, but he's more likely a backup option for teams targeting pass protection inside at guard or center.

Decorated tackle who will be asked to slide inside and learn a new position. Hinton used his power and athleticism to overwhelm his level of competition, but his movements out of his stance can be a little wild and unfocused, which will get him in trouble against NFL competition. He needs to add mass and play with better hand placement and less forward lean. Hinton isn't NFL-ready, but his explosiveness, strength and quickness are appealing traits to work with as a developmental prospect who could find an early home on a practice squad.

There are two versions of Lawrence Cager. The Miami Hurricane version played slower and had issues with focus drops. The Georgia Bulldog version played faster and with better fluidity of movement. In fact, he played with elite focus and contested catch talent. He is a reliable possession receiver with the size and toughness to work the middle of the field, but proved he could make impressive catches on all three levels. Both versions had issues with injury, so his medicals and 40-yard-dash time will play a substantial role in deciding whether or not he gets drafted, but his 2019 tape was definitely good enough.

Enticing developmental project with a moldable frame and the athletic traits for consideration in 3-4 or 4-3 units. Cline added good weight to his frame since the end of the season and should continue to do so as a pro. His quick get-off and above-average athletic ability don't always result in the production they should due to his underdeveloped instincts and technique. He needs to harness and focus his energy to help convert the flashes into NFL production. He's big, raw and very athletic -- the perfect candidate as an early practice squad talent with quality upside to make a roster in the future.

Long-limbed safety with limited range but above-average ball skills. While he can flip the field with interceptions, there are times he doesn't play with the instincts or recognition teams want from a safety. He's an intimidating striker who can punish receivers or leave a mark on running backs climbing up to the second level. Inconsistencies with open-field tackling and below-average man-cover skills could limit his scheme fit, but he has Day 3 talent and backup potential.

Small-school offensive lineman with good athleticism, core strength and position flexibility. Murphy has starting experience at tackle, guard and center, but is a likely center/guard projection. His size and strength were good for his level of competition but may be an early challenge in the NFL. He's an average drive blocker, but might be quick enough to get to challenging angles as a move blocker. Murphy's pass protection is a strength, with the anchor and slide quickness to match up with a variety of rush styles. He should offer good backup depth with a chance to bump up the depth chart in the future.

Grade will likely be tied to specific positional fit for each organization. Williams is long-legged and plays with below-average bend and twitch. He struggles to hold the point versus angle blocks but shows an ability to get skinny and disrupt in the backfield. He's not as long as he looks but has versatility to play in odd or even fronts at a variety of spots. His bull rush generates pocket push and might translate, but he needs to keep adding strength and counters to diversify his rush plan. He's a backup-caliber interior defender worthy of a Day 3 selection.

He is a natural at the position with a feel for flowing to the football ahead of blocks or smartly hanging back when he senses misdirection. His play strength and contact balance are a plus but teams might view them with some skepticism after a failed PED test. He will struggle with man coverage but plays passing lanes from zone effectively. His technique and play recognition will stand out for defensive coaches, but it might not matter if his speed and athletic testing don't check out.

He's a bit of an enigma as a former four-star recruit with an explosive athletic profile, but a disappointing lack of production relative to his potential. His ability to get to top speed in an instant makes him a threat after the catch and on go routes, but the route-running will need future development and some hip tightness may limit his overall wiggle. With below-average ball skills, Simmons is a better athlete than pass-catcher, but the tape shows value on gadget plays, as a punt returner and a gunner. The game-breaking speed and potential versatility give him a real chance of becoming a better pro than college player.

Well-built tackle-to-guard prospect with very good core strength and displacement power in his upper body. The problem for Throckmorton is that for all his contact balance and diligence to play under control, his lower body stiffness and lack of functional quickness permeates his play in both the run and pass and will be much more pronounced on an NFL offensive line. The technique and quality of play is draft-worthy but physical limitations might make him no better than a replaceable backup.

Traits-based edge defender capable of playing 4-3 end or 3-4 rush linebacker. Garvin's strong 2018 was followed up with inconsistent effort and an inability to stamp his presence on games with much consistency. He gains depth upfield quickly and is fairly natural at defeating the punch and flipping the corner. Pressures are nice, but sack-makers get paid and that won't happen unless he cranks up the effort and plays to his traits and potential. Garvin has Day 2 talent, but may not go until Day 3. However, there might be gold to mine if a coach can get it out of him.

Burly and strong with the ability to play either guard position in a gap-scheme attack. He's productive on double teams and combo blocks. Stepaniak comes off the ball and into opponents with some pop when he's singled up and he's a nasty block finisher, but he may not have enough length for NFL-block sustain. His ability to recover in pass pro is limited by both his wide base and exaggerated slide steps out to the edge. Despite his bench-press strength, Stepaniak gives too much ground to power rushers who push him into the pocket. It's possible to correct some of his pass protection issues and his physicality in the run game helps his cause as a late-round guard with backup potential.

Lower-body tightness will hinder his pad level and his ability to sit down against angle blocks, but he has the quickness and understanding of angles to slip his way between gaps. He played in a variety of alignments at Georgia and could fit into a backup role in either odd or even fronts, but his lack of consistent pass rush limits his upside.

Converted from tight end to tackle two years ago and will need to keep sliding inside as a zone-scheme blocker. His understanding of angles improved rapidly in-season, allowing his athleticism and agility to do their things as a move blocker. He sustains with grip strength and balance, but needs to be on the move and working away from stack-and-shed defenders. His short arms and substandard core strength got him bullied into the pocket by average MAC rushers and there is no guarantee that additional strength and technique work will fix it against pro rushers. He faces an uphill battle, but has developmental potential that could interest zone-scheme teams at either guard or center.

Edge worker with ability to beat blockers with strong hands or initial quickness, depending on the matchup. His pad level and contact balance help win inside to disrupt the B-gap. He takes on bigger blockers with sharp hand strikes before sliding away, but maulers can overwhelm him at times. His rush isn't very tools-y, but is fairly fluid and should improve once he adds to the tool belt. Rivers' issues at Georgia were documented in Season 2 of the Netflix documentary series "Last Chance U," but the reset at Mississippi State offered consistent production and play over two seasons. Look for teams to consider him as a 3-4 SAM 'backer with enough short-area athleticism to handle the transition.

Limber and explosive, he has the makings of a mismatch slot with the ability to stretch and attack speed-deficient coverages. It's easy to criticize Mooney for frequency of drops during his time at Tulane, but he took short throws and turned them into touchdowns of 86, 79 and 55 yards in 2018. He's sudden underneath and should fit right in as a slot, but he won't be able to outrun NFL coverage and needs to tighten up the routes. He definitely has a puncher's shot at finding an NFL home, but the slender frame and inability to help on special teams are big challenges to overcome.

Undersized, but unmistakably tough and determined. Woodard's four seasons as a starting lineman have coincided with impressive rushing seasons by a variety of runners who are now in the pros.

While he looks to mix it up, he lacks the length and bend to foster block-sustain when moving forward.

Intriguing height-weight-speed slot prospect with potential to challenge the field on all three levels. Swain is a freestyle route runner with a lack of attention to detail and an addiction to a skip-stutter that is both predictable and inefficient. He needs to play faster underneath and with more physicality to improve his contested catch percentage. He has some suddenness that is waiting to be unlocked with more focused route-running. When his punt-return talent is added to the mix, there are enough checkmarks to believe Swain has a shot to be a Day 3 selection and a player who can win a roster spot at some point.

Well-built kicker who has the leg strength to handle kickoff duties and should have the power to muscle up on tries of 50-plus. While he was extremely accurate from 40-plus in 2019, that distance had been a major issue for him in previous years. His drive kicks come out without as much lift and his truncated follow-through might need some work in order to create more consistent ball flight. The 2019 results were encouraging, but he still has much to prove.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Willekes has packed on the pounds and the production since arriving at Michigan State as a walk-on. He's a high effort worker-bee with a relentless nose for the football. His refusal to give in until the whistle is more responsible for his success than his size or athletic traits. He's neither quick nor explosive, but he's very instinctive and has an above-average understanding of blocking scheme and play development. He's become a very impactful college player against all odds, but lacks the athletic profile to stick around long-term as a pro.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
First and foremost, teams must do their due diligence on the issue that got him expelled from the University of Minnesota in 2017. On the field, the former Missouri state 100-meter champ has exceptional speed and the athletic ability to make the move to full-time slot corner. He has greedy eyes and the ball skills to do something about it when the ball goes up. He's played against subpar competition, but was an early starter for a Big Ten school. He needs to cultivate his technique and teams must figure out if he's better from press or off-man. While he has return talent, it's also worth noting that his limited tape as a receiver is provocative.

Round 4 • Pick 17
PLAYER ANALYSIS
The size, length and ball production offer up hope, but Robinson's lack of speed and athletic traits could prevent him from maintaining playmaking positioning as a pro. He has average instincts, but his length can be a disruptive factor in close quarters. If he can crank up his run-support intensity, he might get looks as a zone corner or a safety.

Round 4 • Pick 5
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Nasty guard who lives in scrap mode, looking for fights inside a relatively small phone booth where he's most comfortable. Kindley has the frame of a powerful guard, but doesn't bend well enough to generate leverage and push at the point of attack. He's a mauler with enough finesse to get to some reach and cut-off blocks, but faces scheme limitations. Slide quickness is limited and his tendency to lunge allows rushers to work around his edge earlier than teams like. The size and toughness are great, but Kindley needs to play with better control and technique in order to become an average NFL backup.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Gonzalez plays to his wide frame and impressive power, driving and mauling to the best of his ability. While he has athletic limitations, he should be fine as a run blocker provided he's paired with a team that doesn't ask him to play in space very often. He has average core strength and inconsistent hand quickness, which will get him jostled at the point of attack at times, but he can hang in the saddle and get the job done. His lunging and inconsistent anchor against the bull-rush might be correctable to an extent, but the athletic limitations will always be an issue when facing off against the athletic rushers in the league.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Wirtel and his brother practiced snapping in their basement with their father and that's been his thing since he was younger. The snap speed is adequate and he was fairly consistent in terms of placement on all snaps. He's athletic, but on the smaller side, which could hurt his chances with so few spots typically available each season.

Round 3 • Pick 36
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Slow-footed safety with hybrid linebacker tendencies. Muse plays with tight, restricted movement that lacks necessary fluidity to handle coverage duties as an NFL safety and he'll likely be asked to slide into a full-time linebacker role. He already has linebacker size and his frame should be able to handle additional weight if needed. His field agility and short-area athleticism aren't anything special despite moving over from safety. Muse's ability to cover tight ends and handle four-phase special teams duties improve his chances of making the backend of a roster.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Compact three-technique who plays with explosive power to make up for his average quickness. Tart isn't slow or unathletic, but he doesn't have the first-step quickness to be a disruptive gap-shooter or consistent pass rusher. He can be a little inconsistent with the timing and placement of his hands, but he has the power and leverage to control single blocks with better technique. Tart can be a slow starter but a strong finisher from rep to rep. His upside and brand of nasty could give him a chance to find NFL work at some point.
