5-Tennessee Titans: Isaiah Ford, WR Virginia Tech.

It’s hard to separate him and Mike Williams right now. Williams has the most sheer potential but Ford probably is the better pro ultimately. Williams is probably limited to being a split end right now who has a more limited route tree. Ford can run about anything and at any wideout spot.

The only thing Ford has to work on is his ability to deal with a jam. Ford doesn’t use his hands well in this, he allows a defensive back to get their hands on him and doesn’t try to do much about it. This is a concern, but one that can be fixed.

6-San Diego Chargers: Reuben Foster, LB Alabama.

Foster is rising up this author’s draft board. He could be the total package as an inside linebacker. Foster is thriving thanks to that amazing Bama defensive line but don’t let that make you think that he’s a product of their system. He’s a great tackler with great instincts and moves so fluidly to the ball. This author wasn’t a fan of Reggie Ragland last season, he was just too limited athletically. Foster doesn’t have any such issues.

The Chargers need the defensive help. Joey Bosa is finally playing and looks like a monster on the field. This should help with their continuing pass rush issues. Teo and Perryman just aren’t good enough at inside linebacker and talent is required. Foster should start over Perryman Day 1 and if Bosa and Liugut are taking up blockers on the line, then Foster could be very deadly.
