The 2016 NFL Draft may lack a large number of elite talent, but it has good depth in the middle rounds.
This group of players features several capable of making an immediate impact. Others posses high upside with the potential to develop into one of the better prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft class.
51. Chris Moore, WR, Cincinnati– Moore reminds me of a slightly slower version of Kevin White. He does most of his damage by high-pointing the ball.
52. Shilique Calhoun, DE, Michigan State
53. Jeremy Cash, S, Duke– Cash is a linebacker in a safety’s body as someone who excels at supporting the run. However, he’s better in coverage than most realize and would’ve proved that if Duke gave him more opportunities.
54. Jonathan Jones, CB, Auburn– Jones’ speed is getting most of the attention at this point in the process, but this is a feisty defender capable making a major impact.
55. DeForest Buckner, DL, Oregon– Buckner has raw talent, but reminds me too much of Tyson Jackson.
56. Sheldon Day, DL, Notre Dame
57. Kamalei Correa, OLB, Boise State– Correa is a bit raw but there’s no denying his ability to generate pressure off the edge.
58. Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State- Hackenberg has the size and arm strength evaluators look for, but needs a lot of work on the mental part of the game.
59. Javon Hargrave, DT, South Carolina State- Hargrave is a small-school prospect with tremendous upside. He’s more NFL-ready than most realize and will make an immediate impact as a run stuffer.
60. Artie Burns, CB, Miami
61. Noah Spence, DE, Eastern Kentucky
62. Adolphus Washington, DL, Ohio State
63. Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson
64. Willie Beavers, OT, Western Michigan
65. Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh
66. Parker Ehinger, OL, Cincinnati
67. Kenny Clark, DL, UCLA– Clark is a physical run stuffer who is still developing as a player.
68. Vernon Butler, DL, Louisiana Tech
69. Landon Turner, OG, North Carolina
70. Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama– Henry’s draft stock takes a hit because his running style doesn’t fit every scheme.
