Cornerback Clark Phillips, Utah.
- Slide down the board due to limited measurables, but has second round tape.

Cornerback Eli Ricks, Alabama.
- Shutdown potential, but comes with injury history.

Cornerback Terell Smith, Minnesota.
- Height-weight-speed. Battle tested in all schemes.

Cornerback, Darius Rush, South Carolina.
- Could be day one starter. Limited upside.

Edge rusher Andre Carter, Navy.
- The theme is culture-building with high character-prospects. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Navy guy added. Long and athletic like few.

Edge rusher Viliani Fehoko, San Diego State.
- Play every snap as if his life depended on it, and lives up to Gannon's wish about "playing violent." Has scheme flexibility.

Defensive tackle Karl Brooks, Bowling Green.
- Good at both pass- and run blocking. Easily best DT left.

Linebacker Dee Winters, TCU.
- Again a very high character guy, and almost certainly a good special teamer.

Tight end Davis Allen, Clemson.
- Good at everything, not great at anything.

Runningback Zach Evans, Missisippi.
- Lacks great measurables, but runs hard and smart.

Center Luke Wypler, Ohio State.
- Presumably fits the scheme well.

Center Alex Forsyth, Oregon.
- Has the makings of a better pro- than college player.

Have a great day three, everybody!

No Chandler Zavala? I've seen analysts opine that he could move to center. Big, tough guy with good movement skills.

My biggest hope is we go after...

RB DeWayne McBride out of UAB

OG Chandler Zavala out of NC State

OC Osusegun Oluwatimi out of Michigan

NT Jarrod Clark out of Coastal Carolina

DE Adetomiwa Adebawore out of Northwestern

CB Darius Rush out of South Carolina

Honorable Mention

RB Duece Vaughn out of Kansas State
Probably my list right here, but I would consider Whypler.

Woah!!!

Adebawore is still around! I would take him in a heartbeat here in the 4th round. The kid is an absolute freak athlete. 4.49 at 280 pounds....pus he did 27 reps.

He could play anywhere along the d line, including some stand up edge. I think of all the defensive line prospects left, he has the most potential

He's falling because he has minus instincts. Leki Fotu issues.

I think we're at the point in the draft where it might make sense to use some capital on a RB, correct?

Chase Edmonds was a 4th round pick and his performance in 2019 made David Johnson completely expendable, leading to the hopkins trade.

I wouldn't mind using one of today's picks to bring in a player to backup Conner, and maybe become the starter in a year or two.
