2017 NFL Draft Big Board: Final Version
By Jon Dove
61. Derek Rivers, Edge, Youngstown State
Rivers will need some time to adjust to NFL competition, but he has the measurables evaluators look for in an edge defender.
62. Dan Feeney, G, Indiana
Feeney isn’t flashy but provides stability along the interior of the offensive line. He’s a day-1 starter and potential 2nd round pick.
63. Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss
Engram is getting some late-love in the draft process thanks to his excellent Combine performance. He’s basically a big-bodied receiver who is listed as a tight end.
64. Bucky Hodges, TE, Virginia Tech

Hodges is another highly athletic tight end whose impact mainly comes in the passing game. He’ll have trouble seeing the field early in his career unless he gives more effort as a blocker.
65. Chris Wormley, DL, Michigan
Wormley is a powerful defensive lineman who flashes some quickness. He’s the type of player who doesn’t stand out but routinely does the dirty work.
66. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
Smith-Schuster isn’t an elite athlete, but has size and a feel for the position. He reminds me a lot of Anquan Boldin in the way he uses his body.
67. Howard Wilson, CB, Houston
Wilson is a ball hawk who doesn’t hesitate to jump a route. His short-area burst and ball skills make him a major threat to create turnovers.
68. Adoree’ Jackson, CB, USC
Jackson is still just an athlete at this point in his career. However, he has shown enough improvement in his coverage skills to say he can continue to develop.
69. Cam Sutton, CB, Tennessee
Sutton lacks ideal size for the position, but is a fluid athlete who remains in-phase with his target. He could quickly develop into a very effective slot corner.
70. Isaac Asiata, G, Utah
Asiata is a power player who loves to generate a push off the line of scrimmage. He’s also a solid athlete which makes him a candidate to pull and climb to the 2nd level.
