17. Dallas Cowboys: Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas
Whether it’s the inconsistencies (but improvement this season) of the young Tyler Guyton at the left tackle position, or the play this season (so far) of right tackle Terence Steele, the Cowboys might have to consider another early-round offensive lineman.
They won’t have to look too far for this one.
Trevor Goosby took over after Kelvin Banks went off to the NFL, and he’s picked up that 1st-round offensive tackle mantle for the Longhorns.
The Cowboys could slide him over to the right side and have him take over for Steele as another long-term fixture up front.
18. New Orleans Saints: Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia
The New Orleans Saints are giving young Quincy Riley a shot at more snaps this season after the departure of Alontae Taylor in free agency this offseason (Titans), but they might need another option on the outside to build around with Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Ellis Robinson is one of the best zone corners in this class, and part of the reason for that is how instinctive he is. He uses that to his advantage when the ball is in the air, but he also uses it to his advantage in run support. He’s physical and loves to come up and make big hits.
19. Philadelphia Eagles: Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State
Where do we even begin with the Philadelphia Eagles right now?
The Eagles have a number of holes on both sides of the ball, and the offseason will reveal even more work that needs to get done.
The cornerback position is not typically where this team looks in the 1st round of the NFL Draft, although GM Howie Roseman made an exception for Quinyon Mitchell. Will he do it again for someone like Kelley Jones?
The 6-foot-4 prospect out of Mississippi State could give the Eagles another weapon for the defensive backfield.
20. Las Vegas Raiders: Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana
I think Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is really going to like what he sees when he gets the chance in the offseason to go watch Nick Marsh and how he’s been utilized at Indiana.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound transfer from Michigan State doesn’t have pre-existing chemistry with Fernando Mendoza, but he will bring a versatile option to an offense like the Raiders, especially adding value right away in the running game as a blocker.
He’s obviously a playmaker at the receiver position, but NFL teams will love the way he approaches the blocking aspect of his game as well.
