40. Jarrad Davis, LB, Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions brought in Jarrad Davis as their top draft pick in 2017 with the goal of shoring up their suspect defense. The Florida product quickly made his mark on the team, starting 14 games as a rookie and 16 more this past season. He had 96 tackles and a pick in his first season and increased his tackle total to 100 in 2018. In addition to that, he started to show off his pass-rushing prowess, racking up six sacks as a sophomore.

41. Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints

Another 2017 rookie, the New Orleans Saints traded a future second-round pick to move up and land Alvin Kamara as a third-round selection. While at Tennessee, Kamara was criminally under-utilized and has proven that in his first two seasons with the Saints. He’s made two Pro Bowls and was the 2017 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year as well. Kamara is a versatile weapon, who can hurt teams both as a runner as well as out of the backfield running routes as a receiver.

42. Duke Riley, LB, Atlanta Falcons

2018 wasn’t the best season for Duke Riley. He started the year out as the starting linebacker before being benched after 10 games. He still ended up with 60 tackles and two pass defenses on the season and has enough talent to bounce back this season.
