Buckle up, we start with 5 total picks in rounds 4 and 5.

I'll be unavailable most of the day, but will post as many draft profiles as I can later.

67. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC (6-foot-0, 197 pounds)
Despite average size, St. Brown can play above the rim and be a ball winner, adjusting to the ball in flight and contorting his frame. Though he has the foot quickness to uncover, his separation windows will be much smaller vs. NFL coverage. Overall, St. Brown won’t strike fear in the hearts of opponents with speed or suddenness, but he is ultra-competitive with the body control and polish to be a reliable NFL target. He projects best in the slot.

72. Brevin Jordan, TE, Miami (Fla.) (6-foot-3, 247 pounds)
A fluid mover for his size, Jordan quickly enters his route and doesn’t break stride at the catch point, tracking the ball and carrying his speed to be a seam-buster (63.3 percent of his career receiving yards came after the catch). While he gives terrific effort as a blocker, he lacks ideal size and strength in this area, which lowers his margin for error vs. NFL defenders. Overall, Jordan needs to become more detail-focused as a blocker and route-runner, but he has the athleticism and ball skills to be a three-level pass-catching threat. He projects similar to Irv Smith as a “move” tight end prospect.
77. Jabril Cox, LB, LSU (6-foot-3, 232 pounds)
Cox is an excellent space athlete for his size and does a great job squeezing routes in either man or zone coverages. While he prefers to play in the open, he is inconsistent through contact near the line of scrimmage and must improve the consistency of his take-on and tackling skills. Overall, Cox has holes in his game, primarily with his run fits, that make it tough to love him, but he is easy to like with his smooth athleticism, spatial awareness and football character. He projects as a versatile defender with three-down potential.

78. Jay Tufele, DT, USC (6-foot-2, 305 pounds)
With his rugby background, Tufele competes with the physical violence and body control to work his way through gaps and put heat on the pocket. While he plays strong, he doesn’t consistently play with the power to create knockback or overwhelm blockers through their numbers. Overall, Tufele needs to develop his feel as a pass rusher and block shedder, but he is quick off the ball with impressive balance and a motor that runs hot. He projects as an NFL three-technique with starting tools.
79. Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State (5-foot-11, 194 pounds)
Wallace plays with impressive route movements from set-up to stem and shows the tracking skills and focus to rebound the football. With his ability to play through contact, he is a fun player with the ball in the air, but the difficulty level of winning contested catches in the NFL compared to the Big 12 will be monumental. Overall, Wallace has only average size and speed, but he is a route technician with the play strength, body control and catch radius to make plays at every level of the field. He projects as an NFL starter if his knee stays healthy.
81. Daviyon Nixon, DT, Iowa (6-foot-3, 313 pounds)
Nixon has a basketball background and plays with the quickness/control to shoot gaps and the power/leverage to defeat blocks. He has an unimpressive sample size with single-digit career starts, but his improved focus over the last two seasons is something his coaches have told to NFL scouts. Overall, Nixon is still maturing in areas, but he creates disruption with his explosive traits, play violence and ball-tracking skills. He projects as a one-gap penetrator with starting ability.
83. James Hudson, OT, Cincinnati (6-foot-5, 313 pounds)
Hudson fires out of his stance and achieves a balanced position in pass pro to mirror with quick, controlled steps. With only 719 career snaps at tackle, he has some bad habits, forgetting his feet or allowing his pads to rise, but he flashes power in his upper half to create torque on command. Overall, Hudson requires continued technical refinement to match up in the NFL, but his light feet, strong hands and natural balance are an intriguing starter pack at left tackle. He would fit best in a zone scheme where he can develop into an above-average starter.
89. D’Ante Smith, OT, East Carolina (6-foot-5, 305 pounds)
Smith credits high school wrestling for helping him unlock his skills and develop his temperament, toughness and balance. With his eager hands, he has the tools to answer either quickness or power, but his placement and angles could be more disciplined. Overall, Smith needs to sharpen his technique, but he is an ascending offensive line prospect with intriguing tools (feet, length, flexibility) and upside to grow into a full-time NFL starter.
90. Stone Forsythe, OT, Florida (6-foot-8, 307 pounds)
Forsythe has a wide base in his pass sets and enough range to stay square, using his length to strike and keep rushers busy. His upright posture leads to leverage/recovery issues, putting more onus on his hand timing and reset skills. Overall, Forsythe will struggle to lock down a starting job in the NFL if he doesn’t improve as a run blocker, but he shows a natural feel for controlling his massive frame as a pass protector, which gives him a chance to fight for early playing time at tackle.
93. Hamsah Nasirildeen, DS, Florida State (6-foot-3, 215 pounds)
Described as a “war daddy” by the FSU coaches, Nasirildeen runs the alleys with physicality and plays with the length and toughness to shed blocks in the box. In coverage, he has fluidity and ball skills, but his route anticipation and eye discipline are not currently strengths of his game. Overall, Nasirildeen comes with position-fit questions in base and requires a defined role, but he is a super-long, downhill force player with moldable physical traits. He projects as a hybrid box safety and core special-teamer.
94. Rashad Weaver, edge, Pittsburgh (6-foot-4, 259 pounds)
Weaver isn’t the type of pass rusher who will scream off the edge and win with pure speed, but his length and handwork at the top of his rush allows him to break down blockers. He also offers the position flexibility to play inside the tackle and win vs. guards due to his powerful, long levers. Overall, Weaver might not be a dynamic athlete by NFL standards, but he is stout at the point of attack with efficient stack/shed skills to be reliable vs. both the pass and the run, which gives him NFL starting potential in different schemes.
96. Robert Rochell, CB, Central Arkansas (6-foot-0, 193 pounds)
Rochell is an NFL-level athlete with his immediate acceleration and reactive twitch to match up against pro speed. While he is athletic, his base fundamentals and process are sporadic (leading to big plays allowed) and he needs to stay locked in every snap. Whether he lives up to his NFL starting-level upside comes down to the development of his technique and discipline.
99. Trey Smith, OG, Tennessee (6-foot-6, 321 pounds)
Smith looks the part with excellent base strength and shock absorbers for hands, allowing him to win in a phone booth. However, for a player with his raw power, you expect more displacement, body control and point-of-attack movement than what he put on tape as a senior, too often falling off blocks or simply getting in the way. Overall, Smith has the size and talent to start in the NFL, but the sloppy tendencies and streaky aggressiveness are red flags and there are potential lung-related health concerns. He projects as a high risk/reward potential starter in a power-based scheme.

I'd love to see them add an interior pass rusher like Nixon or Tufele, though I wonder what is going on with James Lynch and if he'll be able to take advantage of his first full off-season. Outside of DT, I could see areas like S, WR, CB, TE, & K all getting attention. They could also use a return man and maybe a 3rd RB.
