2019 NFL Draft Grades: Analysis for every Day 3 pick

The 2019 NFL Draft wraps things up on Saturday with Day 3, featuring Rounds 4-7. We’re handing out instant grades and analysis for every pick.

After two nights in primetime, the 2019 NFL Draft heads to the day shift for Day 3 of the event. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds all take place on the final day of the draft. And while you aren’t looking for Day 1 starters in these rounds, teams are undoubtedly looking to find hidden gems and developmental players that can help their cause.

While that may be the case largely, the way that the 2019 NFL Draft has played out through 102 selections has left a deep talent pool still on the board heading into Round 4. Guys like Kelvin Harmon, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Riley Ridley, Mack Wilson, Dru Samia and many others can see the field right away at the pro level and contribute. And they are all still available.

Having said that, we will certainly see how the 32 teams in the league choose to attack these late rounds. The 2019 NFL Draft has been nothing short of surprising to this point, from Kyler Murray to Daniel Jones to Greedy Williams to D.K. Metcalf and their respective rises and falls. We could indeed see more of those types of decisions and picks in Rounds 4-7.

Round 4

103. Arizona Cardinals – Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State

After reaching on Andy Isabella with the 62nd pick, this is a great makeup selection for the Cards. Butler gives Kyler Murray a big target on the outside with great versatility. Grade: A

TRADE: Bengals move up to No. 104

104. Cincinnati Bengals – Ryan Finley, QB, NC State

There was talk that the Bengals could take a quarterback in the first round, but they came up and the fourth and got Ryan Finley. He’s a steady player that could see the field early due to his accuracy, but has limited arm strength and upside. Grade: B

TRADE: Saints move up to No. 105

105. New Orleans Saints – Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida

Phenomenal pick for the Saints. Gardner-Johnson was my top-rated safety in this class and the Saints get him early in the fourth round. Can be an immediate factor in the secondary. Grade: A

106. Oakland Raiders – Maxx Crosby, EDGE, Eastern Michigan

Maxx Crosby was a highly popular sleeper pick for analysts, and the Raiders nab him here. Even after adding Clelin Ferrell, they need more pass rush and Crosby’s athletic profile suggests he could grow into a good one. Grade: A-

107. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Anthony Nelson, DE/LB, Iowa

A solid pick again as the Buccaneers add to their edge rushing depth. Nelson is a massive man that can be a run-defender right away and develop as a pass rusher. Grade: B+

108. New York Giants – Julian Love, CB, Notre Dame

The Giants are revamping their secondary with Love joining Deandre Baker. He’s a little undersized and not a great athlete, but the tape is great for him and he should make an impact. Grade: A

TRADE: Colts move up to No. 109

109. Indianapolis Colts – Khari Willis, S, Michigan State

Clearly looking to pair with Malik Hooker, WIllis is a pure strong safety that isn’t a great athlete, but has a future when paired with Hooker. It’s a slight reach, though. Grade: B-

110. San Francisco 49ers – Mitch Wishnowsky, P, Utah

This is high for a punter, but Wishnowsky is definitely a weapon on special teams. You have to believe that the Niners saw Michael Dickson last year and made this move. Grade: C

TRADE: Falcons trade up to No. 111

111. Atlanta Falcons – Kendall Sheffield, CB, Ohio State

There’s no doubt that the Falcons needed to beef up the secondary and do so here. Sheffield is a talented player that has great speed and athleticism that can grow into a stud, though he’s a ball of clay technique-wise currently. Grade: B+

112. Washington Redskins – Bryce Love, RB, Stanford

Love’s disastrous final season at Stanford doesn’t do justice to his talent. He’ll pair incredibly well with Derrius Guice as a thunder/lightning backfield pairing. Grade: B+

113. Baltimore Ravens – Justice Hill, RB, Oklahoma State

Speed, speed and more speed. That’s what the Ravens offense is going to be and Justice Hill fits that in droves. He’s slight-framed, but can really make plays. Grade: B-

114. Minnesota Vikings – Dru Samia, OG, Oklahoma

The Vikings dip back into the interior offensive line pool as they should. Samia is a Day 2 prospect that fell, so you have to like the fit and value here for Minnesota as they improve their group up front. Grade: A

115. Carolina Panthers – Christian Miller, EDGE, Alabama

After taking Brian Burns in Round 1, the Panthers address edge rusher again with Christian Miller. He’s a high-upside player that has better film than overall production, largely due to injuries. Grade: A

TRADE: Titans move up to No. 116

116. Tennessee Titans – Amani Hooker, S, Iowa

Some may have not thought secondary as a primary need for the Titans, but they clearly valued it as they traded up for a good player that can wear a lot of hats in Hooker. Grade: B

117. Detroit Lions – Austin Bryant, EDGE, Clemson

Matt Patricia wants to get his defense right and he takes a flier on a productive college player in Austin Bryant. Bryant’s upside isn’t immense, but the motor and work ethic are there. Grade: B-

118. New England Patriots – Hjalte Froholdt, OG, Arkansas

Froholdt is an underrated interior offensive lineman in this class who played well against top competition. With the Patriots, he’s a great fit that will develop him. Grade: A-

119. Cleveland Browns – Sheldrick Redwine, S, Miami (FL)

The Browns needed to address the safety position, but Redwine is a tough player. He has flashes, but is a little too wild for my liking. However, there isn’t a lot at the position still on the board. Grade: C+

120. Seattle Seahawks – Gary Jennings, WR, West Virginia

With the Doug Baldwin news, the Seahawks clearly want to address the receiving corps. Gary Jennings is a player that can contribute right away and complement D.K. Metcalf. Grade: A-

121. New York Jets – Trevon Wesco, TE, West Virginia

This is an offensive identity pick for the Jets. Wesco is not a modern tight end, but he does the dirty work with versatility at the position and should help Le’Veon Bell’s path be cleared in a big way. Grade: B-

122. Pittsburgh Steelers – Benny Snell, RB, Kentucky

Benny Snell is a player I like, but not for the Steelers. Snell isn’t a great athlete, but he’s a powerful, smart runner. However, he’s redundant of James Conner, which makes this not great. Grade: D

123. Baltimore Ravens – Ben Powers, OG, Oklahoma

First off, wonderful moment with the first NFL Draft pick ever being announced after being read in Braille. Also a wonderful pick by the Ravens. Powers is a nasty player on the interior that will help the Ravens offense unleash their speed. Grade: A-

124. Seattle Seahawks – Phil Haynes, OG, Wake Forest

A versatile offensive lineman, Haynes has great athleticism that showed some good tape, but still has some development left ahead. Still, he can help to upgrade the Seahawks line. Grade: B

125. Cincinnati Bengals – Rennell Wren, DT, Arizona State

The Bengals need to get new blood on defense and Wren allows them to do that, a talented player that, with NFL coaching, can make an impact early on. Grade: A-

126. Chicago Bears – Riley Ridley, WR, Georgia

Ridley didn’t have college production, but the tape showed a good player, albeit one with limited athleticism. The Bears are clearly looking to make their offense closer to on-par with their elite defense. Grade: B+

127. Baltimore Ravens – Iman Marshall, CB, USC

Back on the clock, the Ravens take a gamble on Iman Marshall. He waited for his breakout for a couple years, but it never came. The size and talent are evident if he cand develop discipline and technique. Grade: B

128. Dallas Cowboys – Tony Pollard, RB, Memphis

The Cowboys needed to get someone to spell Ezekiel Elliott and be an all-around weapon and Tony Pollard is that. Returner, pass-catcher, split out wide, the Memphis product can do it for Dallas. Grade: B+

129. Oakland Raiders – Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston

Raiders continue to address their secondary here, taking a player with immense potential in Johnson. He needs development, but if he does, this is a steal. Grade: A

130. Los Angeles Chargers – Drue Tranquill, LB, Notre Dame

Injuries have slowed down Tranquill, but he has tremendous potential to be a good linebacker for a Chargers team that really needs depth at that position. Grade: A-

131. Washington Redskins – Wes Martin, OG, Indiana

The Redskins had been killing the draft, but this is a reach that doesn’t really give them that special of a player. Martin is solid, but not great. Grade: C

132. Seattle Seahawks – Ugochukwu Amadi, S, Oregon

Amadi is undersized and will likely move to the nickel, but he can play in coverage well and can really come in and bolster a sneaky lacking secondary in Seattle. Grade: B+

133. New England Patriots – Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn

Could this actually be the successor to Tom Brady? Jarrett Stidham has plenty of tools, but needs development. But with Brady playing, he’ll have that opportunity. Grade: B+

134. Los Angeles Rams – Greg Gaines, DT, Washington

Gaines is a big, big man that can stuff the run but has better athleticism than you think given his size. He’s not an ideal modern player, but he has a role in this league. Grade: B-

135. Atlanta Falcons – John Cominsky, DE, Charleston

Cominsky is a small-school guy with big potential, but Dan Quinn will have to develop his physical tools into technique for him to contribute meaningfully. Grade: C+

136. Cincinnati Bengals – Michael Jordan, OG, Ohio State

No, not that MJ. THe Ohio State product has inconsistent tape, but gives a lacking Bengals offensive line options up front, something that they need. Grade: B

137. Oakland Raiders – Foster Moreau, TE, LSU

Moreau is a good option for the Raiders tight end. He’s not going to be a star at the position, but he’s a good egg as a safety option in the pass game. Grade: B+

138. Philadelphia Eagles – Shareef Miller, EDGE, Penn State

This is a bit of a reach for Miller, but he is an athlete that can do some good things with his pressure, but his lack of agility makes this a reach. Grade: C+

Round 5

139. Arizona Cardinals – Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama

Inconsistent finish to 2018 killed Thompson’s stock, but his best tape is really impressive. For a rebuilding Cardinals team, though, he’s a great selection in Round 5. Grade: A

140. Jacksonville Jaguars – Ryquell Armstead, RB, Temple 

Armstead isn’t an elite athlete, but is a solid runner with his ability to get tough yardage. This will be interesting to see if he pushes Leonard Fournette. Grade: B-

141. Pittsburgh Steelers – Zach Gentry, TE, Michigan

Zach Gentry needs to get more physical, but he can play in the pass game. Steelers need to develop him, but they need a tight end and get a nice project here. Grade: B

142. Seattle Seahawks – Ben Burr-Kirven, LB, Washington

Well, this is interesting. The Seahawks took a better linebacker in the fifth round in Burr-Kirven than they did in the third with Cody Barton. Either way, a good pickup for Seattle. Grade: A-

143. New York Giants – Ryan Connelly, LB, Wisconsin

This isn’t a good pick, it isn’t a bad pick. Connelly is fine and try to and add depth to the linebacker group, but he doesn’t move the needle that much for me. Grade: C-

144. Indianapolis Colts – Marvell Tell III, S, USC

There needs to be refinement with Tell, but he has a potential role in the secondary for the Colts and they get solid value with the upside here. Grade: B

145. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Matt Gay, K, Utah

The Buccaneers are still looking for answers at kicker. Gay is the best player in this draft, so let’s hope they get it right here. Grade: B-

146. Detroit Lions – Amani Oruwariye, CB, Penn State

Patricia continues to load up his defense and gets tremendous value player. In this Lions secondary, Oruwariye can play right away and give them an upgrade. Grade: A

147. Buffalo Bills – Vosean Joseph, LB, Florida

The Bills continue a quietly great draft with an upside pick in Joseph. He’s a great athlete that can lay a big hit on anyone and has upside if he can develop better discipline. Grade: A-

148. San Francisco 49ers – Dre Greenlaw, LB, Arkansas

Greenlaw’s film is better than his testing, but he showed he can be a good coverage linebacker, adding to a corps that needs depth in San Fransisco. Grade: B-

149. Oakland Raiders – Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson

Oakland needed a slot receiver and get a solid one in Renfrow. The athleticism isn’t there, but the route running and hands are. A bit of a reach, but not too egregious. Grade: B-

150. Green Bay Packers – Kingsley Keke, DT, Texas A&M

Keke is an underrated player in this class with great ability as a run-stopper with pass-rushing potential. He can be an asset for this Packers defensive front. Grade: A-

151. Miami Dolphins – Andrew Van Ginkel, LB, Wisconsin

Well, this isn’t a pick to get too excited about. You like the effort from Van Ginkel, but he’s got some work to do if he can play early on. Grade: C+

152. Atlanta Falcons – Qadree Ollison, RB, Pittsburgh

I’m not a fan of Ollison, but apparently the Falcons are. There were better running backs available here, if that’s what they wanted, so this is a whiff for me. Grade: D

153. Washington Redskins – Ross Pierschbacher, IOL, Alabama

Smart pick for Washington here as they get a guy in Pierschbacher with great experience and solid performance to give a line that has been injured and hurting som needed depth. Grade: A

154. Carolina Panthers – Jordan Scarlett, RB, Florida

Scarlett can form an interesting pairing with Christian McCaffrey. They are different players, but the UF product gives a better look and depth so Run CMC doesn’t have to get run into the ground. Grade: B+

155. Cleveland Browns – Mack Wilson, LB, Alabama

Had Wilson stayed another year at Alabama, he may have been a top 50 pick. He needs refinement and to be more physical, but he’s an elite athlete in an area where the Browns need upside and depth. Grade: A

156. Denver Broncos – Justin Hollins, LB, Oregon

Hollins is a versatile player that can play outside but drop back with great athleticism. Great, versatile piece that Denver can add to a defense that’s looking to get younger. Grade: B

157. New York Jets – Blake Cashman, LB, Minnesota

Linebacker isn’t a tremendous need for the Jets, but Cashman is too great of a value to pass up. He’s a speedy player, albeit undersized, that can have a positive impact on defense and special teams. Grade: A

158. Dallas Cowboys – Michael Jackson, CB, Miami (FL)

Jackson flashed throughout his college career in terms of highlights, but the film shows a player who is inconsistent and limited. This pick is one that feels questionable. Grade: C

159. New England Patriots – Byron Cowart, DE, Maryland

Cowart isn’t a game-changer by any means, but he has moments on film. Has the makings of a situational guy that Bill Belichick can deploy a bit for the Pats defense. Grade: B-

160. Baltimore Ravens – Daylon Mack, DT, Texas A&M

Fantastic value pick for the Ravens, even if not at a position of need. Mack is a sleeper in this class that has big-time physical potential waiting to be unlocked. Grade: A-

161. Houston Texans – Charles Omenihu, DT, Texas

Is defensive tackle/end a need for the Texans? No. Is Omenihu’s versatility and value too good to pass up at 161? Absolutely. Great pick for depth and upside. Grade: A

162. Minnesota Vikings – Cameron Smith, LB, USC

Cameron Smith is certainly a limited athlete, but he has great tape as a leader in the middle of the field. As a rotational and special teams player, the Vikings got a solid guy. Grade: B

163. New England Patriots – Jake Bailey, P, Stanford

Bailey is the top-rated punter in the class and we know Belichick loves his special teams. This shouldn’t surprise us. Grade: B-

164. Indianapolis Colts – EJ Speed, WR, Tarleton State

It’d be irresponsible of me to grade a player/pick that this is the first I’m hearing about. Grade: ?

165. Dallas Cowboys – Joe Jackson, DE, Miami (FL)

Going back to the Hurricanes, the Cowbosy add to their defensive end rotation with Jackson. Ther flashes are there, but consistency and bend aren’t. Still, not a bad fifth-rounder. Grade: B

166. Los Angeles Chargers – Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota State

There is a hive of fans that love Easton Stick, but I’m not in it. However, he shouldn’t see the field any time soon with Philip Rivers with the Chargers, so maybe they can develop him. Grade: C+

167. Philadelphia Eagles – Clayton Thorson, QB, Northwestern

With Carson Wentz’s health in recent years and Nick Foles gone, the Eagles need quarterback depth with Nate Sudfeld. Thorson needs development, but he’s a solid late-round backup pick. Grade: B-

168. Tennessee Titans – D’Andre Walker, EDGE, Georgia

The Titans lost Derrick Morgan and Brian Orakpo this offseason, but have Harold Landry and Cameron Wake now. Still, D’Andre Walker gives them high-upside depth at edge rusher, which they can use. Grade: A

169. Los Angeles Rams – David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin

Edwards is still learning the tackle position, but has tremendous potential there. The Rams can afford to develop him and provide a future up front. Grade: A

170. Cleveland Browns – Austin Seibert, K, Oklahoma

Kicking woes were rough for the Browns last season, so they need a sure hand. Seibert got plenty of reps for high-scoring Oklahoma and could be a good get for Cleveland. Grade: B-

171. New York Giants – Darius Slayton, WR, Auburn

Slayton is a burner that needs refinement with his route-running and nuances, and the Giants need weapons. Not a bad late-fifth-round pick. Grade: B-

172. Atlanta Falcons – Jordan Miller, CB, Washington 

The Falcons look to the secondary again with a developmental player. Tools are present with Miller, but his ball skills are lacking and he could use time to learn the pro game. Grade: B-

173. Washington Redskins – Cole Holcomb, LB, North Carolina

Holcomb did not get a draftable grade from me in this class, so you can probably guess that I’m not a fan of this one. Grade: D

Round 6

174. Arizona Cardinals – KeeSean Johnson, WR, Fresno State

Weapons for Kyler Murray aplenty, the Cardinals get another here. He needs some development in his footwork, but he can do a lot of things well. Great value here. Grade: A-

175. Pittsburgh Steelers – Sutton Smith, EDGE, Northern Illinois

Smith is undersized, but was a productive sack artist at Northern Illinois. Will be interesting to see what they do with him moving forward. Grade: C+

176. San Francisco 49ers – Kaden Smith, TE, Stanford 

There is development left with Smith, but the size and blocking are something you like. He has tools to progress into something more for the 49ers. Grade: B

177. New Orleans Saints – Saquan Hampton, S, Rutgers

Hampton is a fine player that gives the Saints even more depth in their secondary. Hampton will likely be an athlete on special teams early on. Grade: B-

178. Jacksonville Jaguars – Gardner Minshew, QB, Washington State

After paying Nick Foles, the Jaguars do need more depth at quarterback to push that group behind Foles. Minshew has limited upside, but the floor might be high — as is the mustache quotient. Grade: B+

179. Arizona Cardinals – Lamont Gaillard, IOL, Georgia 

Love this pick from the Cardinals. They needed to upgrade the offensive line and they get an experienced, strong player in Gaillard to put on the interior. Grade: A+

180. New York Giants – Corey Ballentine, CB, Washburn

Ballentine has a ton of upside, but is supremely underdeveloped given his small-school background. Gettleman is revamping the Giants secondary and Ballentine is a nice body, even if it’s a little overkill. Grade: B-

181. Buffalo Bills – Jaquan Johnson, S, Miami (FL)

Buffalo is continuing to add interesting athletes and pieces and Johnson is that. Perhaps he can contribute on special teams as he picks up more nuance to his game on defense. Grade: B

182. Cincinnati Bengals – Trayveon Williams, RB, Texas A&M

Realizing that it’s the sixth round, you have to wonder if running back was the best option for the Bengals roster, especially one as pedestrian as Williams. Grade: D

183. San Francisco 49ers – Justin Skule, OT, Vanderbilt

Skule isn’t going to see the field any time soon, but the size and tools suggest he has some potential that the Niners will explore. Grade: B-

184. Detroit Lions – Travis Fulgham, WR, Old Dominion 

The Lions have a sneaky need at wide receiver and Fulgham offers some upside for Detroit in that regard. Ball of clay with great physical tools that can be a sleeper. Grade: B

185. Green Bay Packers – Ka’Dar Hollman, CB, Toledo

Yes, the talent pool is thinning out, but this is a massive reach for a defensive pack by the Packers. Not a fan of Hollman here (outside of UDFA). Grade: C-

186. Detroit Lions – Ty Johnson, RB, Maryland

Running back isn’t pressing for the Lions, but Johnson is an interesting player with big-play ability that he showcased at Maryland. A depth piece in the backfield with upside. Grade: B

187. Denver Broncos – Juwann Winfree, WR, Colorado

Not so sure about this one. Winfree has injury red flags and is a limited athlete. If you want him, they should’ve waited until undrafted free agency. Grade: F

188. Tennessee Titans – David Long, LB, West Virginia

Long has upside as a player and potential to come along if he gets a bit stronger. For a strong linebacker corps, he’s good depth for Tennessee. Grade: B+

189. Cleveland Browns – Drew Forbes, OT, Southeast Missouri State

I did not watch Forbes, so I’ll hand this one over to NFL Spin Zone’s own Pete Smith.

Good enough for me. Grade: A-

190. Minnesota Vikings – Armon Watts, DT, Arkansas

Watts is not a great athlete, but he has nice size and showed disruption on tape. We’ll see if the Vikings can get something out of him. Grade: B-

191. Minnesota Vikings – Marcus Epps, DB, Wyoming

Projected as an UDFA, Epps is a little bit of a reach here. Then again, the Vikings and Mike Zimmer love defensive backs, so we shouldn’t be surprised. Grade: C-

192. Pittsburgh Steelers – Isaiah Buggs, DT, Alabama

Buggs never fully came about for the Crimson Tide, but he’s a big man with some upside. The Steelers make a good pick with a bit of upside here at No. 192. Grade: B

193. Minnesota Vikings – Oli Udoh, OT, Elon

Fantastic sixth-rounder for the Vikings, who made three of the last four picks. Udoh needs to develop, but they address the line again with a high-upside athlete that can be great. Grade: A

194. Green Bay Packers – Dexter Williams, RB, Notre Dame

Williams had his moments at Notre Dame, but is a limited back. Moreover, the Packers always seem to take a flier on a player, but now the running back room is crowded. Grade: C-

195. Houston Texans – Xavier Crawford, CB, Central Michigan

Crawford was overshadowed by Sean Bunting, but had some moments on film. Definitely just a flier, developmental pick by Houston. Grade: C+

196. New York Jets – Blessuan Austin, CB, Rutgers

Missed 19 games over the last two years due to ACL injuries. This is an all if-he’s-healthy and upside pick. Grade: C-

197. Baltimore Ravens – Trace McSorley, QB, Penn State

Could he be the next Taysom Hill? Either way, he’s a good backup for Lamar Jackson given their athletic traits. AN interesting pick that isn’t too big of a risk. Grade: B-

198. San Francisco 49ers – Tim Harris, CB, Virginia

Harris has a good bit of talent and athleticism, but really needs to refine his footwork. Could be developed behind a deepening group for the Niners. Grade: B

199. Indianapolis Colts – Gerri Green, DE, Mississippi State

Green wasn’t a star for Mississippi State, but he made some solid plays on tape and has upside ahead of him that Chris Ballard will look to capitalize on. Grade: B-

200. Los Angeles Chargers – Emeke Egbule, LB, Houston 

Athletic player that has versatility to either rush off the edge or drop back. He’s a good piece for the Chargers defense that they can move around. Grade: A-

201. Kansas City Chiefs – Rashad Fenton, CB, South Carolina

Fenton needs to develop more footwork and technique, but you like his ball skills and he could be a nice depth piece for the Chiefs moving forward. Grade: B

202. Miami Dolphins – Isaiah Prince, OT, Ohio State

The Dolphins continue adding pieces in front of Rosen. Prince isn’t a clean prospect by any means, but his size and strength make him worth a flier. Grade: B-

203. Atlanta Falcons – Marcus Green, WR, Louisiana-Monroe

Green doesn’t have the upside of some receivers left on the board, even if the Falcons do need some more bodies at the position. Grade: C-

204. Seattle Seahawks – Travis Homer, RB, Miami (FL)

Homer is not a good running back, despite college production. This isn’t a great pick for me if I’m the Seahawks. Grade: D

205. Chicago Bears – Duke Shelley, CB, Kansas State

A diminutive player, Shelley has some talent at corner, but his size holds him back. Perhaps he can come in and do spot work in sub-packages for Chicago. Grade: B-

206. Washington Redskins – Kelvin Harmon, WR, NC State

The fall for Harmon, a projected Day 2 pick for many, ends. The Redskins add a big-body red zone threat that has concerns about speed, but has some impressive tape. Grade: A

207. Pittsburgh Steelers – Ulysses Gilbert III, LB, Akron

Gilbert isn’t anything special, but is a solid small-school player that had production and, with NFL coaching, could have a role at the pro level. Grade: B-

208. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Scott Miller, WR, Bowling Green

Miller was productive for Bowling Green and the Bucs need competition at wide receiver. There is more upside at wide receiver than Miller, but this isn’t bad. Grade: C+

209. Seattle Seahawks – Demarcus Christmas, DT, Florida State

Christmas never realized his potential for the Seminoles, but he’s a physical presence with experience. If the Seahawks can milk his potential, he’ll carve out a role. Grade: B+

210. Cincinnati Bengals – Deshaun Davis, LB, Auburn

It’s clear the Bengals want to get bodies in the building at linebacker and Davis does that as an undersized player with limited range. Grade: C+

211. Cincinnati Bengals – Rodney Anderson, RB, Oklahoma

I’m conflicted here as I like Rodney Anderson and a team taking a gamble on him, but feel the Bengals shouldn’t be that team given their needs and running back room. Grade: C

212. Carolina Panthers – Dennis Daley, OT, South Carolina

Very little to this pick other than getting a camp offensive lineman in the building and hoping he shows something. Grade: C+

213. Dallas Cowboys – Donovan Wilson, S, Texas A&M

A little late for the Cowboys to address safety, but Wilson has some decent moments on film and could at least push the guys in Dallas during camp. Grade: B-

214. Kansas City Chiefs – Darwin Thompson, RB, Utah State

Thompson is an interesting player that was big time at Utah State. With a need at running back opening up, he could carve out a role. Grade: B

Round 7

215. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Terry Beckner Jr., DT, Missouri

Beckner could’ve gone much higher in this 2019 NFL Draft, so for the Bucs to start off the seventh round by adding him for depth is a solid move for them. Grade: A-

216. Kansas City Chiefs – Nick Allegretti, IOL, Illinois

Allegretti isn’t as good as some other late-round guards on the board, but he’s likely a camp body for a team trying to push the guys up front in the Chiefs. Grade: C+

217. Minnesota Vikings – Kris Boyd, CB, Texas

Boyd has some upside, even if he’s a limited athlete with plenty of lapses on tape. Perhaps Zimmer can squeeze his potential out of him. Nice flier pick for Minny. Grade: B

218. Dallas Cowboys – Mike Weber, RB, Ohio State

Really don’t understand this pick from Dallas. Weber is an intriguing player, but after already taking a running back in this class, this feels like overkill. Grade: D

219. Pittsburgh Steelers – Derwin Gray, OT, Maryland

As stated with other linemen taken already in Round 7, this is a camp body with some upside on the line in front of Ben Roethlisberger. Grade: B-

220. Houston Texans – Cullen Gillaspia, FB, Texas A&M

If you’re going to take a fullback, at least do it in the seventh round, right? Grade: C

221. Cleveland Browns – Donnie Lewis Jr., CB, Tulane

Lewis was incredibly productive in coverage throughout his time in Tulane. While not a physical marvel, he’s a solid depth pick for the Browns. Grade: B+

222. Chicago Bears – Kerrith Whyte Jr., RB, Florida Atlantic

A versatile weapon at FAU, Whyte should be able to find some kind of role in Matt Nagy’s offense if he can show off his potential in camp. Grade: B-

223. Cincinnati Bengals – Jordan Brown, CB, San Diego State

Bengals finally don’t take a running back and get an undervalued cornerback here with Brown. This is a pick I can get behind for Cincy. Grade: B+

224. Detroit Lions – Isaac Nauta, TE, Georgia

Nauta’s awful testing at the combine make you wonder if he can make it physically in the NFL, but his college tape is worth the Lions taking a flier. Grade: B

225. Buffalo Bills – Darryl Johnson Jr., LB, North Carolina A&T

Two-time all-conference selection that lived in opposing backfields (41 career tackles for loss), the Bills take a flier on a small-schooler with potential. Grade: B-

226. Green Bay Packers – Ty Summers, LB, TCU

Green Bay looks to add competition to the linebacker room with a guy who was a leader on TCU’s defense, even if his upside is limited. Grade: C+

227. Washington Redskins – Jimmy Moreland, CB, James Madison

Moreland feasted on FCS competition at James Madison and looks to prove himself moving forward. He’s a ballhawk with untapped potential and a great flier by Washington. Grade: A

228. Buffalo Bills – Tommy Sweeney, TE, Boston College

The Bills continue to add interesting pieces, which Sweeney is certainly one of. He had some production in college, but he’s a solid all-around player. Grade: B

229. Detroit Lions – P.J. Johnson, DT, Arizona

The Lions come on here with a pedestrian pick as they look to add someone to push players on the defensive line. Grade: C

230. Oakland Raiders – Quinton Bell, DE, Prairie View A&M

New to the position, Bell has no idea what he’s doing in terms of a lot of technique. But physically, he has the tools and could be molded on a practice squad. Grade: C+

231. New Orleans Saints – Alize Mack, TE, Notre Dame

Mack was my favorite tight end left in the seventh round and the Saints get a solid athlete with upside that can offer something down the line. Grade: B

232. New York Giants – George Asafo-Adjei, OG, Kentucky

Not a player I’ve scouted, but was a team captain for the Wildcats. Likely a camp body for New York. Grade: B-

233. Miami Dolphins – Chandler Cox, FB, Auburn

Running the ball and protecting Rosen should be of paramount importance to the Dolphins. As such, this makes a ton of sense for Miami, even if fullback is undervalued. Grade: B

234. Miami Dolphins – Myles Gaskin, RB, Washington

Not a huge fan of Gaskin as a prospect, but the Dolphins look to see if he can find something and push the guys in place already. Grade: C+

235. Jacksonville Jaguars – Dontavius Russell, DT, Auburn

Great player to bring in for camp. Has physical tools, but could use the competition to try and stand out and carve out a roster spot. Grade: B

236. Seattle Seahawks – John Ursua, WR, Hawai’i

Ursua had 16 touchdown catches in 2018 alone, getting it done in the air raid attack. He’s not a great physical presence, but he can compete for a spot on the roster. Grade: B-

237. Carolina Panthers – Terry Godwin, WR, Georgia

A weapon that the offense could use, Godwin is a reliable pass-catcher, even if he’s not a physically dominant player. Grade: B

238. Chicago Bears – Stephen Denmark, CB, Valdosta State

Ryan Pace loves small-school guys, so here’s another corner for him to shoot his shot with. Grade: C+

239. Minnesota Vikings – Dillon Mitchell, WR, Oregon

The production wasn’t necessarily there consistently for Mitchell at Oregon, bu he flashed and has tools that make him intriguing. Grade: B

240. Indianapolis Colts – Jackson Barton, OT, Utah

First-Team All-Pac-12 last season, Barton has experience and size, which should be good enough to get him to push the linemen in Indy. Grade: B-

241. Dallas Cowboys – Jalen Jelks, EDGE, Oregon

Cowboys finish up strong with Jelks, a player who has immense potential waiting to be realized. Should stick on the roster as a depth piece. Grade: A-

242. Los Angeles Chargers – Cortez Broughton, DT, Cincinnati

Broughton had great production and solid athletic traits to last this long. The Chargers address a lacking front with depth that should stick. Grade: A

243. Los Angeles Rams – Nick Scott, S, Penn State

Scott isn’t a particularly impactful player, but he could help to push the defensive backs that need it for the Rams. Grade: C+

244. New Orleans Saints – Kaden Elliss, LB, Idaho

A versatile player from Idaho, Elliss has underrated athleticism and could really impress some people in Saints camp. Grade: B

245. New York Giants – Chris Slayton, DT, Syracuse

Slayton is a player that I enjoy watching and is nice value here. He’ll have to fight for a roster spot, but he has the talent to make it in New York. Grade: B

246. Indianapolis Colts – Javon Patterson, IOL, Ole Miss

Long-time starter at Ole Miss, Patterson is a solid piece on the interior, though not a star. Could provide good depth up front for Ballard’s Colts. Grade: B

247. Minnesota Vikings – Olabisi Johnson, WR, Colorado State

Not entirely sure why the Vikings are making a run on receivers in the seventh round, but to each their own. Johnsn wasn’t even the best on his team, though. Grade: C-

248. Arizona Cardinals – Joshua Miles, OT, Morgan State

Cardinals need offensive line talent and depth and Miles allowed just one sack in his Morgan State career. He’ll need development, but the potential is there. Grade: B+

249. Arizona Cardinals – Michael Dogbe, DL, Temple

Fantastic value pick late for the Cardinals. Dogbe was productive at Temple and, despite a lack of desired size, has a great athletic profile. Grade: A

250. Minnesota Vikings – Austin Cutting, LS, Air Force

Long-snappers? Let’s go! Grade: A (because why not)

251. Los Angeles Rams – Dakota Allen, LB, Texas Tech

Allen, of Last Chance U fame, returned to Texas Tech after being kicked off the team and showed out well. He’s a limited athlete, but has good instincts and can make plays. Grade: B

252. New England Patriots – Ken Webster, CB, Ole Miss

Webster’s injuries hurt his once high stock, but the small corner has a lot of talent and can be a good player. Grade: B+

253. Washington Redskins – Jordan Brailford, DE, Oklahoma State

Raw prospect still that needs some molding, this is a flier on a versatile body that could be deployed in different ways. Grade: B-

MR. IRRELEVANT: 254. Arizona Cardinals – Caleb Wilson, TE, UCLA

Well, at least Wilson gets the star treatment with Mr. Irrelevant. Wilson isn’t a player I’m a big fan of, a guy who is all athlete and very little football player. Grade: B-

It’s sad to see the 2019 NFL Draft come to a full close, but it has to happen. All 254 picks will have been made and 254 prospects will be one step closer to NFL stardom. Just as important, though, all 32 teams will hopefully have gotten themselves one step closer to winning a Super Bowl.
