11. Chukwuma Okorafor, OT, Western Michigan

Okorafor is close behind McGlinchey in my offensive tackle rankings. He is a big-bodied athlete who can effectively protect the edge. Okorafor is flying under the radar after missing an opportunity to stand out at the Senior Bowl.

12. Vita Vea, DT, Washington

Vea is a massive individual who is an excellent athlete for his size. He is someone who can occupy space, but also provide some pass rush. His stock is helped by the fact he has the burst needed to make plays way from his frame.

13. Derwin James, S, Florida State

James is still developing as a player, but has shown tremendous upside. He has shown the ability to play strong coverage and come up to support the run.

14. Roquan Smith, LB, Georiga

Smith is an active defender who attacks the line of scrimmage. He may lack ideal size, but he can deliver a pop. His overall athleticism also helps him hold up in coverage.

15. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

Guice missed time this past year with injury, but when healthy this is a difference maker. He is a hard-nosed runner who is rarely brought down on first contact. Guice also features the 2nd gear needed to break off long runs.

16. Connor Williams, OT, Texas

Williams is an excellent athlete who is more upside than polish at this point. He has the fluidity need to protect the edge, but there are times where his technique lapses.

17. Orlando Brown Jr., OT, Oklahoma

Brown features a massive frame which he uses to his advantage. He does a great job using his size and length to create a longer path to the quarterback.

18. Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame

Nelson is a true road-grader who excels at opening running lanes. He also has good balance as a pass protector and limits pressure in the quarterback’s face.

19. Sam Hubbard, Edge, Ohio State

Hubbard is an underrated prospect who can contribute in every aspect of the game. However, it’s his upside as a pass rusher that will get him selected in the 1st round.

20. Arden Key, Edge, LSU

Key has top-10 talent, but his off-field character is a major question mark. It’s also fair to question his overall production at the college level. He is one of the bigger boom-or-bust prospects in this draft.
