I will only being grading the notable picks (really good or really bad)

3rd Round Goal = Find a rotational/back up player

4th-7th Round Goal = Find a player that can make the team/practice squad

3rd Round

71. Denver Broncos - Dre'mont Jones DT Ohio State

I mention this pick to make a point. Jones had 1 start in 14 games playing 27% of snaps. He logged 3.5 sacks which is more than any of the 1st round defensive tackles. This is why defensive tackles have low positional value.

73. Chicago Bears - David Montgomery RB Iowa State

This is the Bears 1st pick in the 2019 draft and at least they found a starter. Montgomery had 889 yards rushing and 150 yards receiving with 7 total touchdowns. He started 8 of 16 games playing 57% of the snaps.

Grade - Starter found

74. Buffalo Bills - Devin Singletary RB Florida Atlantic

Singletary had 775 yards rushing and almost 200 yards receiving. He averaged over 5 yards per rush. He started 8 of 12 games being on the field for 50% of snaps.

Grade = Starter found

76. Washington Redskins - Terry McLaurin WR Ohio State

McLaurin started 14 of 14 games played being on the field for 82% of snaps. He had 58 catches for 919 yards and 7 touchdowns. Getting a #1 WR in the 3rd round is money.

Grade = Starter Found

78. Miami Dolphins - Michael Deiter OG Wisconsin

Deiter started 15 of 16 games playing 93% of the snaps.

Grade = Starter found

82. Tennessee Titans - Nate Davis OG UNC Charlotte

Davis started 12 of 13 games played seeing 73% of snaps for a playoff team

Grade = Starter found

4th Round

102. New Orleans Saints = Chauncey Gardner-Johnson S Florida

Chauncey started 7 of 16 games playing 52% of the time for a playoff team. He had 49 tackles, 1 int, and 8 PD.

Grade = Starter found

106. Oakland Raiders - Maxx Crosby DE Eastern Michigan

Crosby started 10 of 16 games playing 72% of plays. He has 10 sacks!!!!

Grade = Starter found and potential Pro Bowler if he can log 10 sacks every year.

5th Round

155. Cleveland Browns - Mack Wilson LB Alabama

Wilson started 14 of 16 games playing 89% of the snaps. Wilson had 82 tackles, 1 int, 1 FF, 7 PD and gave up a 92 QB rating when targeted. The Browns let two of the starting linebackers walk in free agency so they must have confidence in Wilson.

Grade - Starter found.

169. Los Angeles Rams - David Edwards OT Wisconsin

Edwards started 10 of 16 games playing 62% of plays.

Grade = Starter found

171. New York Giants - Darius Slayton WR Auburn

Slayton started 9 of 14 games played with 66% of snaps. Slayton led the team with 740 yards and 8 receiving touchdowns on 48 catches.

Grade = Starter found

6th Round

178. Jacksonville Jaguars - Grander Minshew QB Washington State

Minshew Magic started in 12 of 14 games played carrying a 6-6 record. He completed 60% of his passes for 3,200 yards, 21 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. How rare is it to find a potential franchise QB in the 6th round? Since the Jags traded away Nick Folles, they are handing it over to Minshew.

Grade = Potential Franchise QB found
