41. Carlton Davis, CB, Auburn

Davis is a big-bodied cornerback who plays a physical brand of football. His commitment to maintaining balance in coverage helps him limit separation. There are some question marks about his top-end speed.

42. Da’Ron Payne, DL, Alabama

Payne is a beast at the line of scrimmage and excels at stuffing the run. His play can be a little in consistent at times, but any team looking for some physicality in the trenches must consider Payne.

43. Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis

Miller is a shifty receiver who can stretch the field. His route running skills and quick-twitch ability help him easily create separation. Miller also has a knack for finding the end zone and could quickly be come a major threat at the next level.

44. Mason Cole, C, Michigan

More from With the First Pick

Cole is a versatile offensive line man with experience at guard, left tackle and center. His future in the NFL appears to be at center where he has the potential to be a day-1 starter.

45. Sony Michel, RB, Georiga

Michel’s health is the only thing keeping him out of the 1st round mix on my rankings. Otherwise, he’s a well-rounded prospect who can run with power, speed and catch the ball out of the backfield.

46. Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State

Jones has the physical skills to be an elite left tackle in the NFL. However, he has some lapses in focus that are a cause for concern. The key will be for Jones to land with a team that has some veteran leadership in the offensive line room.

47. Isaiah Wynn, OL, Georgia

Wynn played both guard and tackle at Georgia, but seems destine to play guard in the NFL. He is a physical player who maintains leverage and works with balance. His explosive 1st step helps him generate a jolt off the snap.

48. Jaire Alexander, CB, Louisville

Alexander is a smooth athlete and a natural cover corner. He has excellent ball skills and has a knack for creating turnovers.

49. Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State

Ward sits lower on my big board than on most others. My concern surrounds his lack of size and bulk. However, he is a fluid athlete with the ability to keep in-phase with his target.

50. Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College

Landry has natural pass rushing ability and flashes top-end athleticism. However, there are too many times where he disappears and fails to make an impact.
