ArikGilbert. player. 35. Pick Analysis. TE. 17. Scouting Report. Georgia

This is an interesting pick because I think this is a projection pick that could pay off big time. Gilbert has been battling weight issues early in his college career, but under Kirby Smart has become a great teacher for that whole team.

Gilbert is a big man who will be another mismatch for a team that is going to be looking to the future trying to find consistency for offense but also looking for a TE that can block in the trenches for big Derrick Henry.

10. 18. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Florida. AnthonyRichardson

This would be a fantastic selection for a multitude of reasons, the biggest being his playmaking ability is like Lamar Jackson’s. He can fly, and if he can figure out the passing game, and get his inaccuracy under control, he could be a bad man for quite some time.

The other issues are going to be who might he have around him to try and develop him as well. Outside of Brandin Cooks, there is not a lot of skill on the offense to continue to push him to get better.

player. Pick Analysis. DL. Clemson. BryanBresee. Scouting Report. 19. 54

The Eagles nab Myles Murphy’s teammate in Bryan Bresee here at 19, who has a ton of upside. At 6’5 300 lbs, he has become an absolute gem to watch out for in that Tiger’s defense. After his ACL tear a year ago he has lost a lot of his shine.

However, with another full year, the former #1 overall recruit will give all the reps he needs to prove he should be a first-round guy.

Pick Analysis. Georgia. 26. Scouting Report. DB. KeleeRingo. 20. player

This pick has to terrify so many AFC North fans because this just adds another young star to a scary secondary. After this past draft from Baltimore where they knocked the ball out of the park, and at 6’2 205, Ringo is going to be a monster anywhere he plays.

He has the potential to be the #1 corner for Baltimore within a year, and that torch is being passed from great Georgia defender on down one at a time.

Pick Analysis. WR. Scouting Report. Pittsburgh. JordanAddison. 21. player. 32

Yet another huge pick for the Cardinals. Once DeAndre Hopkins is back on this roster this WR room gets electric quick. I like Jordan Addison to continue to add to this really good Cardinals offense, but I want to see how much this defense can improve.

This is an offensive league though, which is why I think they opt to beef up big time here. Addison can prove to be a big improvement around the board.
