Over the occasion a number of months because the NFL prepares for the 2023 draft, there were two issues evaluators have indubitably at the maximum: (1), The zenith 4 quarterbacks on this draft aren’t the zenith 4 avid gamers at the board; (2), Regardless of that, historical past might be made if the ones 4 quarterbacks are decided on 1-2-3-4 (most likely with the backup of any other blockbuster industry).
Such is the ability of the placement. It is going to be a drastic resignation from the 2022 draft when the primary quarterback — Kenny Pickett — didn’t come off the board till the Pittsburgh Steelers took him at Incorrect. 20 and the fourth quarterback — Matt Corral — didn’t come off the board till the 1/3 spherical with choose Incorrect. 94 by means of the Carolina Panthers.
It has additionally been an extended day because the zenith cornerbacks at the board are bodily larger than the zenith receivers, with groups sorting via a bevy of 175- to 185-pound wideouts.
With the 2023 NFL draft (April 27, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC, ESPN App) nearing, we provide a zenith 100 in response to grades, now not role. This isn’t a ridicule draft, simply the zenith 100 avid gamers ranked, irrespective of role.
Thank you once more to all who took the day to speak, resolution my accumulation of questions and submit with this annual challenge, together with a few of whom have submit with it for nicely over 3 many years.
Be aware: Best possible verified or electronically timed 40-yard sprint day in parentheses.
1. Will Anderson Jr., OLB, Alabama, 6-foot-3½. 253 kilos (4.60)
He would had been the most productive participant at the board within the 2022 draft as nicely. The one two-time unanimous All-American within the storied program’s historical past with 34.5 profession sacks (2d simplest to Derrick Thomas in Purple Flow historical past), 62 tackles for loss in 41 profession video games. His ability eager is giant and units a decent, company edge. Rushes with energy and explosiveness. People in point of fact shouldn’t overthink this one.
2. Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech, 6-5⅝, 271 (DNR)
A fractured bottom in November ended his ultimate season upcoming moving from Texas A&M, so the scientific workers across the league can have a accumulation to mention about the place he’s decided on. A bit of of a projection and a few scouts sought after to look a tiny extra fierceness in his play games. However his flashes of dominance, body (84½-inch wingspan is greater than all however 3 offensive linemen on the mix) and lateral quickness to the ball are precisely what defensive coordinators need.
3. Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas, 5-11, 215 (4.41)
Glance, I perceive the entire information, but when having this working again this lofty at the board is improper, I don’t need to be proper. Quibble in the event you should along with his blitz pickup, however he has take, optical, breaks tackles (greater than two batch in a single back-to-back recreation area this season isolated) and performs with frame regulate in addition to decent arms within the passing recreation. Loose him at the board and any individual else might be ecstatic that you just did.
4. Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois, 5-11½, 181 (4.43)
Groups must come to a decision for themselves why his timed take at his non-public professional past this life was once higher than he presentations in video games from time to time. However he understands course ideas, constantly disrupts receivers, unearths the ball (14 passes damaged up in 2022 isolated) and is a more-than-willing tackler in run aid.
5. Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon, 6-1⅜, 197 (4.38)
The guarantee maximum continuously worn to explain him by means of coaches and scouts is “smooth.” With the size-speed-explosiveness combination every defensive coordinator wants, he mirrors receivers with few false steps and averaged just under 30 yards per return on his four interceptions last season.
6. Peter Skoronski, T, Northwestern, 6-4, 313 (5.16)
Some have vehemently argued Skoronski should move to guard as soon as he’s drafted. But I still see a tackle when his footwork in pass protection (he surrendered one sack in ’22) and movement to the second level in the run game are on display. Skoronski was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Wildcats.
7. C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State, 6-3, 214 (DNR)
Yep, he’s QB1 — by the split hair of a split hair. An easy thrower to all parts of the field with elite accuracy as the school’s first quarterback to throw for at least six touchdowns in a game three times. NFL folks got a preview of what was to come when he threw to Buckeyes receivers at the school’s pro day. His 348 yards passing and four touchdown throws against Georgia in December were clinical.
8. Bryce Young, QB, Alabama, 5-10⅛ , 204 (DNR)
His composure, decision-making in real time and understanding of trouble spots in coverages are ridiculously good. There is no question he is in control of what an offense is doing. His deep-ball accuracy isn’t quite as good as Stroud’s and some will do plenty of hand-wringing about his size, but if he makes it Job 1 to stay on schedule as a pro — like Drew Brees — he can flourish.
9. Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson, 6-4¾, 268 (4.51)
Murphy is a high-effort player with size and power. His six forced fumbles over the past three seasons are among the best in the Power 5 leagues as he has played from down in a stance as well as a stand-up rusher on the edge. There is a rawness to his game — he needs some counters when his greatest hits are negated by NFL tackles — but anybody who plays this hard this often will succeed.
10. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama, 5-9⅛, 199 (4.36)
Gibbs, a transfer from Georgia Tech, has rare acceleration and is adept at altering his tempo to get just the right moment to take the corner. He averaged 6.6 yards per carry for the Crimson Tide last season with 44 receptions. His route running and reliable hands in the passing game make him an intriguing option for a variety of playbooks.
1:01
Jahmyr Gibbs’ NFL draft profile
Take a look at the most productive highlights that contributed to a stellar school profession for Alabama’s Jahmyr Gibbs.
11. Paris Johnson Jr., T, Ohio State, 6-6⅜ , 313 (DNR)
Johnson is going to need time to smooth out his rough edges, but being able to overwhelm pass rushers over and over again is a good starting point. As a pro he will have to play with more power, but his size, smooth footwork and awareness is at the top of this board.
12. Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame, 6-4½, 249 (4.70)
There are others in this deep TE class who are faster and more fluid receivers but Mayer might be the best at contested catches and offers a high level of blocking skill at the in-line tight end position.
13. Brian Branch, CB, Alabama, 5-11⅝ , 190 (4.58)
At Alabama Branch largely played a slot corner role in the defense (Nick Saban’s “Famous person” position) with a full-scale working out of warring parties’ offenses every past. There are not any vital holes in his recreation given he had 90 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 3 sacks and 7 move breakups this occasion season isolated.
14. O’Cyrus Torrence, G, Florida, 6-5⅜, 330 (5.31)
Torrence has some technical problems and will get stuck leaning on generation, however he’s robust, fast to regulate and performed with no penalty this occasion season. He’s a walk-in starter at the inner and confirmed a glimpse of his play games energy towards Georgia’s Jalen Carter and within the Senior Bowl practices.
15. Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn Condition, 6-2½, 193 (4.46)
Porter’s length, physicality and top-end take will build him a faster have compatibility in a protection that performs extra press-man, redirecting receivers who problem him with objective. He had six move breakups in a recreation towards Purdue utmost season and had 19 in his 30 profession video games.
16. Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia, 6-3, 314 (DNR)
Carter shall be decided on ahead of this spot and has impressive recreation pictures. However his draft spot residue up within the breeze as he’s going through fees in connection to a dreadful strike of a teammate and an athletic staffer. Some scouts say he has raised alternative off-the-field questions as he weighed 9 kilos extra at professional past and regarded slow in regimen role drills.
17. Nolan Smith, OLB, Georgia, 6-2¼, 238 (4.39)
Smith’s 2022 season ended with a torn pectoral muscle in October. There may be the regular worry from scouts a few 230-pounder protecting up over the lengthy haul at linebacker, however he’s one of the crucial supreme linebackers within the draft elegance, an exquisite chief who performs with leverage and toughness. A considerate defensive coordinator will reap the advantages.
18. Broderick Jones, T, Georgia, 6-5⅜, 311 (4.97)
With 19 profession begins — 15 this occasion season for the Bulldogs — Jones’ supreme soccer is forward of him. He performs with the agility of a way smaller participant blended with the ability befitting his length. And his day by day paintings in follow towards the Bulldogs’ protection was once higher than maximum tackles confronted on any recreation past.
19. Darnell Wright, T, Tennessee, 6-5⅜, 333 (5.01)
Incorrect participant in this draft board could have moved up groups’ ratings on this occasion season greater than Wright. A exit again to proper address in ’22 — he performed left address in 2021 — was once fertile for him and the Vols’ offense. He performed 42 video games and a pair of,746 snaps in his profession and nonetheless must refine some issues in move coverage, however uncooked energy is cloudless on an extended résumé.
20. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio Condition, 6-0⅝, 196 (4.49)
Smith-Njigba performed in simply 3 video games this occasion season as a result of a hamstring shock and all however 92 of his profession 1,698 receiving yards got here in a single season (2021). His routes are blank, he performs with toughness and he wins the ball in contested statuses. His draft role might be progressive if groups can see him as greater than a slot receiver.
1:23
Keep tabs on the performs that build Jaxon Smith-Njigba a zenith NFL anticipation
Take a look at one of the most performs from WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s particular day at Ohio Condition.
21. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon Condition, 6-5 7/8, 253 (4.61)
Musgrave has a restricted résumé with the 2020 COVID season and a knee shock that restricted him to 2 video games this occasion season. His high-end Senior Bowl past has carried enough quantity of weight. Musgrave is a trait course runner who must constantly win matchups within the passing recreation with a more-than-willing manner as a blocker.
22. Will McDonald IV, DE, Iowa Condition, 6-3 5/8, 239 (4.69)
McDonald was once a four-sport player in highschool. He was once a order champion in discus and had a third-place end in lofty soar. He has the versatility in his hips to exit with the in-the-moment creativity of the elite pass-rushers and connect the Weighty 12 file with 34 profession sacks.
23. Deonte Banks, CB, Maryland, 6-0 ¼, 197 (4.35)
Banks had two profession interceptions in 30 profession video games, however he could have led the public in staggered receivers off the layout of scrimmage and has pro-ready skill to restrict a receiver’s leave. He has elite bodily characteristics and competes each snap with a sympathy point in various protection seems.
24. Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa, 6-5, 272 (4.58)
Van Ness has simply the perfect grade at the board for a participant who didn’t get started any video games for his workforce over the occasion two seasons. He had 19.5 tackles for loss and 13.5 sacks over the occasion two seasons blended, however there’s extra in there if he can to find consistency. Van Ness additionally has particular groups worth — he cancelled two punts in a single recreation.
25. Quentin Johnston, WR, TCU, 6-2 ¾, 208 (4.49)
Johnston has a quarterback-friendly catch radius however, with an extended stride, must run extra delicate routes as a professional — too continuously he allowed defenders some distance much less succesful to preserve him out and in of slow breaks. He averaged 19 yards consistent with catch over 3 seasons.
26. Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee, 6-0 1/8, 176 kilos (4.40)
Hyatt must turn out he has solutions for cornerbacks who effort to push him round so he can’t benefit from the isolated releases he had within the Vols’ unfold assault. However he has take, is a savvy course runner and had 15 touchdowns in 2022. Regardless of weighing 176 kilos, he’s a greater, and extra ready, blocker at the perimeter than many on this elegance.
27. Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida, 6-4¼, 244 (4.43)
Maximum within the league be expecting Richardson to be decided on some distance forward of this spot. He can do issues maximum quarterbacks can’t with an influence arm and mobility. Richardson had 5 landing runs of no less than 45 yards. He won’t get plethora credit score for the patch consciousness and footwork, however he has to fix career-threatening accuracy problems or he’s going to all the time be a tantalizing passer who doesn’t do plethora between the flashes of brilliance.
28. Keion White, OLB, Georgia Tech, 6-4 7/8, 285 (4.79)
White, who transferred from Impaired Dominion, is a transformed tight stop and one of the crucial supreme colossal males on this draft. There have been enough quantity of occasions at the recreation video the place he’s shadowing a working again in protection, later bull dashing a address and, in spite of everything, profitable the threshold with take. An ankle shock restricted him early in school profession.
29. BJ Ojulari, OLB, LSU, 6-2 3/8, 248 (DNR)
Ojulari didn’t run on the mix and did role drills simplest at his professional past as a result of a proper hamstring shock. The possible is cloudless along with his flexibility and take off the threshold. But it surely additionally raises the query of why he didn’t have a complete sack in any recreation upcoming Oct. 1 utmost season. Ojulari has proven he is usually a trait rusher however wishes to seek out consistency.
30. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah, 6-3 5/8, 246 (DNR)
Kincaid, who transferred from San Diego, didn’t figure out on the mix as a result of a again shock and didn’t participate in Utah’s professional past. He additionally handled a shoulder shock this occasion season. In a deep elegance of tight ends, he is also the most productive natural receiver within the staff: 106 catches, 1,400 yards and 16 touchdowns the occasion two seasons blended.
0:54
Dalton Kincaid’s NFL draft profile
Take a look at the most productive highlights that contributed to Utah TE Dalton Kincaid’s school profession.
31. Drew Sanders, ILB, Arkansas, 6-4 3/8, 235 (4.58)
Sanders transferred from Alabama and completed his simplest season with the Razorbacks as an All-American with 103 tackles, 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. He had simply 3 begins ahead of utmost season, however his versatility and talent outweigh a restricted résumé. He additionally coated up as an edge rusher.
32. Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson, 6-5 ½, 298 (4.86)
Bresee confirmed multi-position versatility in his 3 seasons at Clemson. He did pass over day with a torn ACL that restricted him to 4 video games in 2021 and a kidney disease that pressured him to pass over more than one video games this occasion season, however he’s adept at beating blocks as he assists in keeping optical at the ball provider when he’s at the subject.
33. Calijah Kancey, DT, Pittsburgh, 6-1, 281 (4.67)
Kancey has grow to be a celebrity chief as much as the draft along with his performances on the Senior Bowl and the mix. He had 14.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles for loss in his two seasons as a starter. Scheme will subject for Kancey on the later point, even though, as a result of he’s somewhat undersized to strive against guards, however he’s gifted and explosive at the inner.
34. Zay Flowers. WR, Boston School, 5-9 ¼, 182 (4.42)
Plant life is fluid at the subject and his routes aren’t simple for defenders to replicate as a result of his method. He had 12 of his workforce’s 21 landing receptions this occasion season and completed with no less than 789 extra receiving yards and 49 receptions than somebody else at the workforce. He’ll wish to blank up his drops as he had two batch in his profession — with 9 coming utmost season.
35. Jordan Addison, WR, USC, 5-11 1/8, 173 (4.54)
Addison transferred from Pitt and a few scouts consider he was once a extra well-rounded participant with the Panthers, together with profitable the Biletnikoff Award there in 2021 with 17 touchdowns. Addison handled a lingering ankle shock utmost season and neglected 3 video games total. He didn’t figure out on the mix, mentioning a again shock. He’s an affect participant as soon as he has the ball, however cornerbacks have been in a position to frustrate him with physicality.
36. Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas Condition, 6-3 1/8, 255 (DNR)
He didn’t run on the mix as a result of a proper bottom shock and did some role drills at professional past. Any bobbles in method, and there are a couple of, are greater than outweighed by means of a savvy and consciousness within the move hurry. His growth utmost season confirmed his willingness to paintings on his recreation. He completed his profession with 20.5 sacks (8.5 utmost season) and 8 pressured fumbles.
37. Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi Condition, 6-0 ¾, 166 (4.35)
I watched Samari Rolle manipulate in an 11-year profession with a matching body, play games taste and prudence in protection. The fellow unearths the ball and is a more in-depth. He had 14 profession interceptions (six of which he returned for a landing) and two seasons when he had no less than 5 interceptions.
38. Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia, 6-1 ¾, 207 (4.36)
The dimensions, take, physicality and willingness to address are all zenith shelf for Ringo. However he’s drawn a couple of too many flags from time to time and surrendered colossal performs, in spite of the Bulldogs’ dominance in dashing the passer, as a result of he doesn’t all the time find the ball temporarily plethora. He has 4 profession interceptions and 19 profession move break-ups.
39. Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina, 5-8 ¾, 171 (4.48)
His skill to regulate pace in his routes to manufacture range jumps off the movie. He has enough quantity of take and lofty manufacturing — back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with 8 and 11 touchdowns, respectively. He additionally averaged 9.8 and 13.3 yards consistent with punt go back the utmost two seasons.
40. John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota, 6-3 ½, 301 (5.35)
In a slim staff total at middle, he is without doubt one of the maximum pro-ready potentialities. He has consciousness, composure and is forceful within the working recreation. His paintings on the Senior Bowl in move coverage additionally drew raves. He has a huge frame of labor as nicely with 44 video games (33 begins).

John Michael Schmitz’s NFL draft profile
Take a look at one of the most supreme performs that experience made Minnesota’s John Michael Schmitz a zenith anticipation on this 12 months’s NFL draft.
41. Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee, 6-3 3/8, 213 (4.54)
An ankle shock restricted Tillman to only six video games this occasion season, which is why some have him ranked not up to this. However he’s tricky and wins contested passes the way in which an NFL wideout should. In 2021, Tillman had profession video games — together with a 200-yard try towards Georgia and 152 yards towards Alabama — that are supposed to be at the must-watch checklist for evaluators.
42. Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia, 6-6 5/8, 264 (4.64)
Washington is a possible mismatch for a protection in more than one levels of the offense — as a blocker within the run recreation and a receiver within the passing recreation. He had simply two landing catches utmost season, however that was once extra an element of the Bulldogs’ embarrassment of riches (together with tight stop Brock Bowers). There may be such a lot of Washington’s recreation to unencumber.
43. Joe Tippmann, C/G, Wisconsin, 6-6, 313 (DNR)
Tippmann didn’t figure out on the mix as a result of a hamstring shock however did role drills at a personal professional past on April 7. He’s taller than some evaluators like at middle, however he performs with flexibility and strikes nicely. Tippmann has one of the most supreme play games energy at the board. His coaches graded him with one sack allowed in 2022.
44. Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee, 6-3, 217 (DNR)
Hooker suffered a torn left ACL in overdue November, because of this his rookie 12 months might be impacted. Hooker performs with poise and throws on day. Alternatively, he has been in large part what scouts name a “half-field” quarterback in the Vols’ spread attack — as in he’ll work progressions on the other side of the field from the primary. But Hooker’s footwork, decision-making and awareness will make him well worth the effort.
45. Will Levis, QB, Kentucky, 6-3 7/8, 229 (DNR)
Levis has elite power in his arm and is physically imposing with toughness in the pocket. However, ultimately the NFL is a game of decision-making and accuracy. Levis’ success will hinge on his willingness to put in the work in those areas with a staff patient enough to do it. If otherwise left unrepaired, those issues will always overpower any arm, even his.
46. Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa, 6-3 ¼, 245 (4.59)
If it’s April, there must be a Hawkeyes tight end on the draft radar. It’s no small thing that LaPorta’s potential was able to shine through in one of the nation’s most limited passing games. He has positional versatility as a receiver outside, in the slot as well as inline, and that has moved him up the board for several teams.
47. Cody Mauch, T, North Dakota State, 6-5, 302 (5.08)
You might get several different answers about where Mauch will play as a pro — he has been evaluated at all five spots along the offensive line. No matter where he lines up, he’s fierce and closes the deal in the run game. With some time and attention, he is a starter who provides insurance at any other position along the line.
48. Mazi Smith, DT, Michigan, 6-3, 323 (DNR)
Smith didn’t work out at the combine and completed only position drills at his pro day. He is a potential-over-production player with a half sack in 35 career games. But in an NFL where defenses are trying to survive in lighter boxes, he is a quality player who dominated against the run and can dent the pocket inside in the pass rush.
49. Trenton Simpson, ILB, Clemson, 6-2 3/8, 235 (4.43)
Simpson is a bit of a riddle. When he’s comfortable with what he has diagnosed on a play, few, if any, linebackers in the nation come close to his athletic ability. But he also gets shoved out of the play a little too often, and the game video shows too many arm tackle attempts. The team that unlocks more could get a productive starter with rare speed.
50. Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M, 6-1 7/8, 198 (4.52)
In a year so light on safeties, Johnson is one of the best prospects at the position. He’s far more comfortable moving toward the line of scrimmage with 14 tackles for loss to go with four forced fumbles in his career, but works well in coverage in the short and intermediate areas.
0:33
Antonio Johnson’s NFL draft profile
Take a look at the most productive highlights that contributed to a stellar school profession for Texas A&M’s Antonio Johnson.
51. Tuli Tuipulotu, DE, USC, 6-3, 266 (DNR)
The Pac 12 Defensive Player of the Year had 13.5 sacks this past season with 22 tackles for loss. He didn’t work out at the combine (hamstring) and didn’t run a 40 at a rainy USC pro day. He is quick off the ball and understands how to get rid of blockers. He has potential in either a 3-4 or a 4-3 front.
52. Tyler Scott, WR, Cincinnati, 5-9 7/8, 177 (4.44)
Fortune could really favor the bold for a team that dives in earlier than this slot. He is a converted running back with enough speed to have been in the Junior Olympics. He’s still learning as a receiver, but his nine receiving touchdowns of at least 20 yards last season to go with four 100-yard games show the progress he has already made.
53. Tucker Kraft, TE, South Dakota State, 6-4 ¾, 254 (4.69)
Kraft suffered an ankle injury that required surgery in his team’s first offensive possession of the 2022 season, so he missed six games. He had nine touchdown catches over his last 24 games played overall and his physicality once he has the ball in his hands will be attractive for any offense that plays two-tight end sets.
54. Dawand Jones, T, Ohio State, 6-8 ¼, 374 (5.35)
His 87 7/8-inch wingspan was the biggest at the combine. That reach combined with his raw power sent plenty of pass-rushers back to the drawing board with grass stains on the back of their jerseys. His footwork does get tangled at times, but players with his profile find success if they work through the rough spots and maintain their conditioning.
55. Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa, 6-4 5/8, 249 (4.65)
Campbell has a quality multisport profile, having led Cedar Falls (Iowa) High School to back-to-back state basketball titles. He’s tall for the position — he played inside for the Hawkeyes — but he plays with quality eye discipline as he moves efficiently to the ball and is a sure tackler. He has 143 tackles in 2021 and 128 tackles this past season.
56. Steve Avila, G/C, TCU, 6-3 ½, 332 (4.74)
Avila started games at center, right guard, left guard and right tackle in his career as a three-year starter at TCU. He projects as a guard in the NFL and is a safe bet. Given his power/agility combination, he’ll push to play quickly.
57. Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame, 6-5 1/8, 264 (4.58)
Foskey had back-to-back 11-sack seasons to close out his career. A team captain, he has all he needs to be an impactful, disruptive player on the edge, but there are too many moments when he isn’t. He doesn’t always keep blockers’ hands off him despite a reach advantage. Special teams coaches will notice he blocked four punts in his career, two in one game.
58. Keeanu Benton. DT, Wisconsin, 6-3 ¾, 309 (5.08)
Longtime defensive line coach Jim Washburn once told me “pads lofty, say farewell” and Benton is that participant. When he performs with trait method, he’s a fierce presence at the within who time and again will get blockers off steadiness like a pace NFL starter must. But if he performs too lofty, and he does from time to time, he yieldings some distance difference grassland or will get entangled.
59. Siaki Ika, DT, Baylor, 6-2 7/8, 335 (5.39)
Scouts say Ika must strengthen his method in how he handles blockers, however a few of that deficiency will also be attributed to his skill to easily overpower them so far. He’s fast off the ball, drives his arms via blockers and disrupts wave. If he can play games with a tiny extra optical when he discards blockers, he may just build way more leak performs — he had simply two tackles for loss this occasion season.
60. DJ Turner II, CB, Michigan, 5-11 ¼, 178 (4.26)
Within the nickel protection global the NFL has grow to be, Turner has flexibility in that he can layout up out of doors or within within the slot. He was once the quickest participant timed on the scouting mix this 12 months and began 22 video games over his utmost two seasons with the Wolverines. He doesn’t win contested passes up to some others and every now and then will get driven off the spot on the zenith of the course.
0:39
DJ Turner’s NFL draft profile
Take a look at the highlights from Michigan cornerback DJ Turner.
61. JL Skinner, S, Boise Condition, 6-3 ¾, 209 (DNR)
Skinner had surgical treatment in early March to fix a torn chest muscle he suffered throughout mix coaching. He had already participated in Senior Bowl practices ahead of the shock happened. He’s a ready run defender with the body, area and ball talents. He has seven profession interceptions, 4 in 2022.
62. Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina, 6-0 ¾, 190 (4.44)
Smith has the area and take defensive again coaches need, however his recreation video confirmed a participant way more comfy in zone and stale protection. He constantly confirmed the facility to get across the ball in the ones seems. Smith must blank up consequences — he had 10 this occasion season, six within the workforce’s first seven video games.
63. Anton Harrison, T, Oklahoma, 6-4 3/8, 315 (4.98)
Harrison’s sub-5.0 40-yard sprint places him in an elite offensive lineman membership, with the ones like Broderick Jones. Harrison performs with persistence and top-level consciousness, however his healing talents might be examined if he will get off steadiness early in a play games, and defensive ends will take a look at his energy.
64. Clark Phillips III, CB, Utah, 5-9, 184 (4.51)
It sounds modest, however all the time give the analysis like to cornerbacks who to find the ball. Phillips had 4 pick-sixes in his profession, 9 interceptions total and 21 move knockdowns. He performs with elite consciousness and energy.
65. Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Michigan, 6-5 ¼, 251 (4.63)
There are extra delicate receivers in a deep elegance on the role, however Schoonmaker is a trait multitasker who can play games in any staff grouping and trade in manufacturing as a blocker or pass-catcher. A five-year letterman for the Wolverines, he performed 43 profession video games.
66. Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern, 6-1 5/8, 282 (4.49)
