55. Houston Texans: Miles Sanders, RB, Penn State

Another pick for the Texans and they make it two good ones in a row. They believe D’Onta Foreman is healthy but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Here, they grab Miles Sanders who burst onto the scene in 2018 after sitting behind Saquon Barkley to start his career. He has a lot of upside to be a featured back according to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com.

"“Well-built glider with the instincts, footwork and agility to shake tacklers but the frame and pad level to finish with some authority. He can clearly create yardage for himself, but he has average acceleration and might need to expedite his downhill process as a pro. Sanders is more skilled than explosive, but he has the size and talent to develop into a future starter with every-down potential.” — Zierlein, NFL.com"

56. New England Patriots(via Chicago Bears): Josh Oliver, TE, San Jose State

Irv Smith was taken by the Bills but the Patriots just go out and take another tight end with a lot of upside in Josh Oliver. He’s seen as more of a vertical threat but if any team can teach a player to reach their potential, it’s the Pats.
