The third day of the draft takes place this Saturday: rounds 4 to 7.
You can follow them live on the site from 6 p.m. with an updated article for each choice. There are still a lot of very good players to strengthen your favorite franchise, here are the main ones.
Offensive
Runners and targets
1- Xavier Hutchinson, WR, Iowa State
2- Chase Brown, RB, Illinois
3- Zach Evans, RB, Ole Miss
4- Zack Kuntz, TE, Old Dominion
5- Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU
Also: Dorian Thompson-Robinson (QB, UCLA), Stetson Bennett (QB, Georgia), Tanner McKee (QB, Stanford), Israel Abanikanda (RB, Pittsburgh), DeWayne McBride (RB, UAB), Deuce Vaughn (RB, Kansas State), Sean Tucker (RB, Syracuse), Andrei Iosivas (WR, Princeton), Rakim Jarrett (WR, Maryland), AT Perry (WR, Wake Forest), Charlie Jones (WR, Purdue), Trey Palmer (WR, Nebraska ), Josh Whyle (TE, Cincinnati), Brayden Willis (TE, Oklahoma), Will Mallory (TE, Miami), Payne Durham (TE, Purdue) etc.
Receivers and runners will be in the spotlight between turns 4 and 7. Excellent in layouts, Charlie Jones should be coveted. Just like the fast Trey Palmer or the beefier Xavier Hutchinson and Andrei Iosivas. To wear leather, there are also many quality candidates.
The tight-end position has seen all the best already selected but the fast Whyle or the strong Willis will find takers, as will Mallory and Durham. At the quarterback position, the remaining profiles are those of replacement: from the reliable Bennett to the mobile Thompson-Robinson.
offensive line
1- Blake Freeland, OT, BYU
2- Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio State
3- Luke Wypler, OC, Ohio State
4- Olesegun Oluwatimi, OC, Michigan
5- Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland
Also: Chandler Zavala (OG, North Carolina State), John Gaines (OG, UCLA), Andrew Vorhees (OG, USC), Sidy Sow (OG, Eastern Michigan), Braeden Daniels (OG, Utah), Jarrett Patterson (OG, Notre Dame), Nick Saldiveri (OG, Old Dominion), Ryan Hayes (OT, Michigan), Trevor Reid (OT, Louisville), Nick Broeker (OG, Ole Miss), McClendon Curtis (OG, Tennessee-Chattanooga), Carter Warren (OT, Pittsburgh) etc.
Undoubtedly the field where the talents are the most numerous in quantity. Tackles like Freeland or the human mountain Dawand Jones. The position of guard is also very well represented with players occupying this position in university like Patterson or Zavala. Also by NCAA tackles who will play inside in the NFL like Daniels or Sakvideri.
Defense
defensive line
1- Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern
2- KJ Henry, DE, Clemson
3- Jaquelin Roy, DT, LSU
4- Jalen Redmond, DE, Oklahoma
5- Moro Ojomo, DT, Texas
Also: Jose Ramirez (DE, Eastern Michigan), Tavius Robinson (DE, Ole Miss), Karl Brooks (DT, Bowling Green), Jerrod Clark (DT, Coastal Carolina), DJ Dale (DT, Alabama), Keondre Coburn (DT , Texas), Isaiah McGuire (DE, Missouri), Dylan Horton (DE, TCU), Colby Wooden (DE, Auburn) etc.
Impressive during the NFL Combine, Ade Adebawore probably pays for his lack of size for the position of defensive tackle. Whether outside or inside the defensive line, franchises still have room to improve their numbers.
Linebackers
1- Noah Sewell, Oregon
2- Owen Pappoe, Auburn
3- Ivan Pace, Cincinnati
4- Dee Winters, TCU
5- Cam Jones, Indiana
Also: Yasir Abdullah (Louisville), Andre Carter II (Army), SirVocea Dennis (Pittsburgh), Nick Herbig (Wisconsin), Shaka Heyward (Duke), Ventrell Miller (Florida), Isaiah Moore (NC State), Anfernee Orji (Vanderbilt ), Charlie Thomas (Georgia Tech) etc.
Scrutinized after a superb first season in 2020, Noah Sewell did not follow the expected progression curve. But strong and athletic, he should join a squad of NFL linebackers in the 4th round.
Pappoe is very fast while Pace compensates for his lack of size with great activity. Thanks to their qualities in tackles, many linebackers will find takers, whether to play in defense but also in a special team.
back line
1- Kelee Ringo, BC, Georgia
2- Darius Rush, BC, South Carolina
3- Clark Phillips, BC, Utah
4- Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M
5- Daniel Scott, S, California
Also: JL Skinner (S, Boise State), Chris Smith (NB/S, Georgia) Robinson (S, Florida State), Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson (BC, TCU), Cameron Mitchell (BC, Northwestern), Kyu Blu Kelly (CB, Stanford), Brandon Joseph (S, Notre Dame), Kaevon Merriweather (S, Iowa), DeMarcco Hellams (S, Alabama), Jakorian Bennett (CB, Maryland) etc
What’s going on with Kelee Ringo? Admittedly, the player has not confirmed his full potential in the NCAA. But double university champion, there is undoubtedly an extra sporting reason to explain such a fall. Clark Phillips, very productive with Utah, pays for his lack of size. Same observation for Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson.
Shunned on the first three laps, the safeties available are of quality like the beefy Skinner or the athletic Scott. Above all, Antonio Johnson of Texas A&M. Possessing the ideal size and qualities to play on a special team, many will be drafted between rounds 4 and 7.
