The name is usually meant as a disparaging one meant to shoot down the importance of the showcase.While combine performances don’t always translate to actual NFL success Limited Mark Andrews Jersey , there is a recent precedent of workout warriors being drafted higher than initially expected due to big time showings in Indy. Players like that had no business missing the playoffs last season. Unfortunately, they were unable to stay healthy in any way shape or form which now has them picking at 14.Ferrell is a good consolation prize. He didn’t participate a ton at the combine, which may scare some teams off. With Dan Quinn facing job security questions, he needs to get his defense in order, and Ferrell’s game tape shows he can fill that need.15. New York Jets (via WAS): Devin White, LB, LSUPhoto by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesThe Jets have an absolute alpha dog on their defense in Jamal Adams and would get another from the same school for their front seven in White. Trading back gives them extra capital to pursue many options which allows them to take the best player available here.16. Carolina Panthers: Cody Ford, OG, OklahomaPhoto by Brett Deering/Getty ImagesRumors were at one point percolating that Cam Newton may not even play this season. That’s not what you want to hear from a franchise QB in the middle of his prime, so they’ll need to protect him a hell of a lot better going forward.Ford played tackle at Oklahoma, but projects better as a guard at the next level. Wherever he plays for the Panthers, he’ll be a welcomed addition as Newton has seen too much of the turf these past few seasons.17. Cleveland Browns: Greedy Williams, CB, LSUPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesThe Browns are beginning what looks to be a run of success Mark Andrews Ravens Jersey , and Williams fits the mold of the kind of player that John Dorsey likes to bring in. Pairing him up with Denzel Ward spells trouble for the rest of the receiver challenged AFC North.18. Minnesota Vikings: Andre Dillard, OT, Washington StatePhoto by Justin Edmonds/Getty ImagesA lot of teams pick for need, especially when in the midst of a disappointing start to a pretty clear championship window. Kirk Cousins is the Vikings quarterback for better or for worse, and he was brought in to bring them a Lombardi trophy. With that said, they need to have more in front of him than they did last season, and Dillard can provide them help in that sense.19. Tennessee Titans: T.J. Hockenson, TE, IowaPhoto by Michael Hickey/Getty ImagesThe Marcus Mariota experience may be reaching a breaking point, though it’s fair to question whether he’s been surrounded by an offense that’s tailored to help him succeed. I personally have my doubts, but giving him a big athletic target like Hockenson (plus whatever else they add in the offseason) will likely provide the true litmus test as to whether he can be a top tier starter in this league.20. Pittsburgh Steelers: Marquise Brown, WR, OklahomaPhoto by Justin K. Aller/Getty ImagesIn terms of cousin-to-cousin torch passing, the only more high profile situation I can think of than this would be Tony Soprano to Christopher Moltisanti. I’d imagine the Steelers would hope picking AB’s young counterpart would go better than that as they’re now going to have to fill a huge void in the absence of the future Hall of Famer. Marquise isn’t as well rounded as his older cousin Elite Mark Andrews Jersey , but his explosiveness is legit and will show at his pro-day; don’t be surprised if his hype train begins to depart from there as opposed to the combine due to the injury he suffered.21. Seattle Seahawks: Josh Jacobs, RB, AlabamaPhoto by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesGreat organizations don’t chase mistakes with other missteps, and the Seahawks are among the better franchises in the league. I don’t see them allowing the mistake that was Rashad Penny in round one to preclude them from taking a thumping playmaker like Jacobs, who’s much more Marshawn Lynch than any option they’ve brought in to replace their former bell cow back since his one time retirement.22. Baltimore Ravens: A.J. Brown, WR, Ole MissPhoto by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesOther more conventional prospects will all come into play in a scenario like this, but here’s the rub: the Ravens too often failed to surround Joe Flacco with the appropriate talent to succeed. Unless Eric DeCosta is willing to take some big swings at the receiver position, then history is doomed to repeat itself with Lamar Jackson.There are more explosive and physically intimidating receivers than Brown in this class, but in terms of skill and polish, he’s up there at the top. He would step into Baltimore’s receiving room as one of the top two options from the start.23. Houston Texans: Noah Fant, TE, IowaPhoto by Michael Hickey/Getty ImagesHouston has a window to capitalize on Deshaun Watson’s rookie contract, and they still have some work to do. With a lot of the top offensive line options gone Game Mark Andrews Jersey , they could do much worse than Fant in the first to give a legit vertical threat for their young QB.24. Oakland Raiders (via CHI): Taylor Rapp, S, WashingtonPhoto by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesThe Raiders got some juice up front by picking Josh Allen and do the same for the back end of their D with Rapp. He may be the best of the bunch among a pretty good group of safeties, and Oakland could really use some more range in their secondary. 25. Philadelphia Eagles: N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona StatePhoto by Ralph Freso/Getty ImagesCarson Wentz is facing a critical juncture of his career. Will he succumb to the pressure and allow Nick Foles’ legacy to cast a shadow over him? Or will he rise to the challenge and become an MVP type player again?If the Eagles would like for him to do the latter, picking a guy like Harry is a good start. He has size to match up with the other towers they have at receiver and tight end, and concerns about his speed went away when he posted a 4.53.26. Indianapolis Colts: Christian Wilkins, DT, ClemsonPhoto by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesThe Colts are focused on building their team the right way, meaning from the outside in. Wilkins would give them a huge presence on their interior, and does things the right way himself, having earned a reputation as a high character guy from his former head coach Dabo Sweeney.27. Oakland Raiders (via DAL): Parris Campbell, WR Mark Andrews Womens Jersey , Ohio StatePhoto by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesThe draft wouldn’t be complete without the Raiders jumping on a track star receiver in the first. In all seriousness, Campbell is a more complete player than that and would provide some pedigree to a receiving corp that desperately needs it. 28. Los Angeles Chargers: Devin Bush, LB, MichiganPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesThe Chargers should be in quarterback consideration here with Phillip Rivers on the back nine, but with no great options available they grab an immediate plug and play starter for their front seven.29. Kansas City Chiefs: Byron Murphy, CB, WashingtonPhoto by Joe Robbins/Getty ImagesLack of defensive depth really killed the Chiefs late in the game against New England. They still need front seven help, but Murphy is a legit outside corner who would immediately step into replace his former fellow Huskie Marcus Peters.30. Green Bay Packers (via NO): Garrett Bradbury, C, NC StatePhoto by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesAaron Rodgers isn’t getting any younger or healthier. The Packers could use some more depth along the o-line, and Bradbury may be good enough to start for them from day one.31. Los Angeles Rams: Nasir Adderley, S, DelawareChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsThe Eric Weddle signing is a stop gap, and Adderley’s skills pair up well with John Johnson on the Rams back end. They’ll groom him to become the starter sooner rather than later.32. Arizona Cardinals (via NE): Erik McCoy Youth Mark Andrews Jersey , C, Texas A&MChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsAfter grabbing Murray at the top of the round, Arizona still needs o-line help for him. They can thank Josh Rosen for this pick and will use it to add an anchor to a line that desperately needs one. Ravens coach John Harbaugh suggested this week that quarterback Lamar Jackson was going to continue to run, perhaps more than last year.Jackson himself doesn’t seem sure about that.Via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Jackson said during an interview on The Rich Eisen Show that he thinks he will carry it less this season.Asked if he could sustain the physical toll of the 147 rushing attempts he put up last year (a single-season NFL record), Jackson said it was possible, if not likely.“Absolutely. I’ve put on weight,” Jackson said. “But I don’t think I’ll be running as much as I did last year. There were a lot of [run-pass options] and a lot of sudden changes in last year’s game. This will be totally different.”Earlier this week, Harbaugh said of Jackson, in reference to Cam Newton‘s career-high 139 rushing attempts in a single season: “I’d bet the over on that one. I’d bet the over for sure on that one.”Technically, anywhere between 140 and 146 would satisfy both requirements, but it’s hard to imagine Harbaugh has made such a precise estimate. Jackson averaged 17 carries per game in his seven starts last year, and extrapolating that over 16 games would be more than most running backs.And perhaps an amount Jackson isn’t necessarily interested in.
