2018 NFL Draft Big Board: Early November Update
By Jon Dove
25. Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson
Clelin Ferrell has a knack for making big plays when the spotlight is brightest. He is a developing pass rusher who has the length and quickness to get after the quarterback on a consistent basis.
26. Deon Cain, WR, Clemson
Deon Cain is an explosive playmaker who has the speed to take the top off the defense. His stock continues to rise as he shows the ability to be more of a complete player. He may never be an elite route runner, but doesn’t need to be with his speed.
27. Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson
Wilkins is a disruptive defender who makes a living in the offensive backfield. He is slightly undersized for a defensive tackle, but we have seen those type of players excel in the NFL as of late. Aaron Donald is the best example of that.

28. Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama
Ronnie Harrison is a long and quick defensive back who can coverage a ton of ground. He is also a two-way player who doesn’t hesitate to support the run. Harrison still has some room to grow as a player which adds to his value.
29. Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State
I’ve been on the Mason Rudolph bandwagon since the middle of last year. He has the size, athleticism and arm strength needed to win at the next level. Rudolph also features solid accuracy and the ability to make sound decisions.
30. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Edge, Oklahoma
Okornokwo is an edge defender who needs to add some versatility to his game. Right now he is a powerful edge rusher who also holds up against the run. His pass rushing skills are still developing but already features a strong spin move and bull rush.
31. Maurice Hurst, DL, Michigan
Hurst is another disruptive defensive tackle prospect in this draft class. He would fit best in as a 3-technique in a 4-3 attack.
32. Cameron Smith, LB, USC
Cameron Smith is an instinctive linebacker who also features the quickness to make plays from sideline to sideline. Smith is someone who makes quick reads and is always in pursuit of the ball.
