Abdullah is very undersized for an edge rusher, coming in at 6-foot-1 and 237 pounds, but he has some juice. His 172-pound frame might make it a challenge for him to translate to the NFL, though. 82) Tampa Bay Buccaneers Smith did look pretty smooth in the positional drills to think he will be a solid plug-and-playmaking starter replacing Marcus Peters. 94) Philadelphia Eagles He broke 46 tackles on 94 carries in 2022.

Roy's power and athleticism can help him be an asset vs. the run while he develops some pass-rush skills in a rotation.

The Eagles are bringing back Brandon Graham for one more season but they need to think about the future at defensive end.

The Cleveland Browns sacrificed a huge amount of NFL draft capital in order to obtain quarterback DeShaun Watson. Myles Murphy has been somewhat of a faller in the draft process, and his evaluation seems to be all over the place. McFadden earned 70.0-plus overall grades in all four of his seasons with significant snaps, including three with 80.0-plus grades. With experience split across box, slot and deep alignments, Robinson could fill a versatile role on the back end for Atlanta. Ojomo gives the team another developmental piece to mold behind a much-improved starting defensive tackle group.

Branch is the perfect player for this secondary. He can boost the Cowboys' slot coverage between Trevon Diggs and newcomer Stephon Gilmore.

All this has completely changed the complexion of the 2023 NFL draft for Las Vegas. 240) New York Giants (from Baltimore) Despite adding Odell Beckham Jr., the Ravens should not be done at wide receiver just yet. Smith-Njigba can be a useful speedy, quick and smooth route-running slot at first given Lockett and Metcalf are playing mostly outside. 123) Seattle Seahawks The 5-foot-9, 204-pounder can still be a weapon out of the slot with his ball skills. The Lions also could use some more effective depth behind Hutchinson and based on this mock, Wilson.

He excelled in man coverage this past year at Illinois, which makes him a good scheme fit for a Raiders team lacking an alpha presence in the secondary.

Tune tallied more than 1,100 passing snaps over the past two seasons and added elite grades in both years. His size and athleticism should fit nicely in Arthur Smith's zone-heavy rushing attack. Richardson's off-the-charts athleticism and natural monster arm should do nicely. 106) Indianapolis Colts Witherspoon, continuing the agility and size combination theme for corners in this class, positioned himself to be a top-half pick with Cam Smith and Kelee Ringo slipping on boards in relation. 110) Atlanta Falcons (from Tennessee) Gibbs blazed to a 4.36 40-yard dash and also showed tremendous receiving skills on top of being a compact power back capable of holding up for three downs in the Frank Gore vein.
