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.
71. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State- Prescott is an underrated passer who has really worked to improve his accuracy. His recent DUI is an issue and something that likely dropped him on some draft boards.
72. Nick Kwiatkoski, LB, West Virginia
73. Austin Hooper, TE, Stanford- Hooper is a bit raw, but has the potential to be a dangerous weapon in the passing game. He brings added value thanks to his willingness to get involved as a blocker.
74. Cardale Jones, QB, Ohio State- Jones has as much physical talent as any quarterback in this draft class. He just needs some time to develop.
75. D.J. White, CB, Georgia Tech
76. Zack Sanchez, CB, Oklahoma- Sanchez an opportunistic defender who has a knack for generating turnovers.
77. Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia
