2018 NFL Draft Big Board: No. 51 to No. 75

There will be a lot of NFL teams that find starting caliber players later in this year’s draft and several of those players are listed here on my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board.

This updated look at my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board features several new prospects in this range. Plenty of teams will be able to find key contributors in the middle rounds of this year’s draft. It’s especially deep on the defensive side of the ball.

51. Kyzir White, S, West Virginia

White isn’t getting enough love as a versatile safety who can coverage and support the run.

52. Hercules Mata’afa, DL, Washington State

Mata’afa is a chess piece who excels at wreaking havoc in the backfield.

53. Lorenzo Carter, Edge, Georgia

Carter is mainly a projection at this point, but he has the potential to be an elite edge player.

54. Taven Bryan, DT, Florida

Bryan has top-flight physical tools, but needs to gain more experience.

55. Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma

Andrews has the measurables to be a mismatch in the passing game.

56. Braden Smith, OG, Auburn

Smith is a ready-made starter who will have a long career at the guard position.

57. Billy Price, OL, Ohio State

Price’s combine injury will hurt his stock a little, but he is still someone ready to compete as a rookie.

58. Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis

Miller is an explosive playmaker who can work out of the slot and on the outside.

59. D.J. Moore, WR, Maryland

Moore is rated much higher by a lot of evaluators, but there were some inconsistencies in this game that caused me pause.

More from With the First Pick

60. Arden Key, Edge, LSU

Key started the year as a potential top-10 prospect but has seen his stock drop due to off-field questions and lack of production.

61. Armani Watts, S, Texas A&M

Watts is a very strong coverage safety who could work out of the slot and in deep coverage.

62. Derrick Nnadi, DT, Florida State

Nnadi is a force in the trenches and nearly impossible to move off the line of scrimmage. With a little more consistency he could’ve been a top-20 pick.

63. Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford

Meeks is a well-rounded cornerback prospect who could fit as either a man or zone defender.

64. Akrum Wadley, RB, Iowa

Wadley is an explosive athlete capable of scoring every time he touches the ball.

65. Ronald Jones II, RB, USC

Jones has seen his stock fall a little through the draft process, but he is still a very talented prospect.

66. Troy Fumagalli, TE, Wisconsin

Fumagalli may not have elite athleticism but is someone who knows how to create seperation.

67. Duke Ejiofor, Edge, Wake Forest

Ejiofor is a developing edge rusher who could see early action as a situational player.

68. Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado

Oliver has a good combination of size and quickness, but needs to clean up his technique to reach his potential.

69. Auden Tate, WR, Florida State

Tate’s poor 40-time is a concern, but he has excellent ball skills and the size to win in contested situations.

70. Jordan Lasley, WR, UCLA

Lasley is a big play waiting to happen thanks to his combination of speed and change of directions skills.

71. Geron Christian, OT, Louisville

Christian has tons of upside and could surprise as an early starter.

72. Austin Corbett, OG, Nevada

Corbett is a physical player who can open running lanes.

73. Rasheem Green, DL, USC

Green is someone who can work both inside and out. He is only scratching the surface of his potential.

74. Luke Falk, QB, Washington State

Falk is someone who I have rated higher than most for a long time. He looks very comfortable and smooth in the pocket. His arm strength is better than most realize.

75. Mike White, QB, Western Kentucky

White has big-time developmental potential. He is someone with a big arm and has showed the ability to be able to attack a defense.
