The 2016 NFL Draft continues to roll on and tons of talent remains on the board.

This group of picks features several players who’ll compete for significant roles early in their career. Some of them also have a chance to develop into elite players. Don’t sleep on these members of the 2016 NFL Draft class.

64. Tennessee Titans- Kevin Byard, S, Middle Tennessee State

Ball-hawking safety who can excel working in the middle of the field. Byard is an upside pick who can ease into the lineup by contributing on special teams.

65. Cleveland Browns- Carl Nassib, DE Penn State

Nassib is a long and lanky defensive end who is a true football player. He plays with an unbelievable motor who is always in pursuit of the football. His lack of bulk is a concern as he will get pushed around in the trenches.

66. San Diego Chargers- Max Tuerk, C, USC

Max Tuerk is an elite athlete who could play any position along the offensive line. He routinely fires off the ball which allows him to overcome his lack of bulk. Tuerk can generate a solid push off the line thanks to that burst as well as his proper hand usage.

67. Dallas Cowboys- Maliek Collins, DT, Nebraska

Collins has shown the ability to penetrate the pocket and disrupt the timing of the offense. The issue is he can disappear for long stretches. Players that lack a strong motor and consistency are risky picks.

68. San Francisco 49ers- Will Redmond, CB, Mississippi State

This is a guy coming off an injury, but his tape in the previous season was really impressive. He was one of the players I was excited to see this past year but that injury kept him off the field. The 49ers got themselves a potential steal with this pick.

69. Jacksonville Jaguars- Yannick Ngakoue, DE, Maryland

Ngakoue is an explosive edge rusher who can really get after the quarterback. He needs to get stronger to avoid being a sub-package player. Luckily, the NFL features plenty of offenses that feature pass-heavy attacks.

70. Baltimore Ravens- Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU

Kaufusi is long but a little soft against the run. He needs to be more consistent and is probably a better fit as an OLB than defensive end in the Ravens defense.
