6. Rashan Gary, DL, Michigan

Believe it or not, there are some similarities between Rashan Gary and Jaylon Ferguson. They both play the same position and are similar in size — and that’s where it stops. Gary is an elite athlete with great traits that will get him drafted in the top 20 of the 2019 NFL Draft. At the combine, Gary weighed in at 277 pounds and tested out of the stadium. However, those traits didn’t translate to production while at Michigan.

Over his career, Gary’s totaled just 9.5 sacks. Still, his name has floated around the first round from the Giants at No. 6 to the Dolphins at No. 12. Gary has major potential, but his draft position should be in the late first round, if not the early second.

5. Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma

Teams are looking to add speed to a modern NFL game that caters to receivers. Speed kills, so Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will likely hear his name called earlier than he should. Comparisons to DeSean Jackson have come up when discussing Brown and understandably so.

Brown is lighting fast with excellent quickness. He understands how to stack and blow past corners. However, if he’s taken in the first round, that’s too high. Brown is under 170 pounds with a thin frame. Being that size comes with reasonable doubt regarding health. Moreover, he’s just 5-9 and struggles against press coverage. Because of his height and thin frame, the slot is where he’ll have to make his name.
