2018 NFL Draft Big Board: No. 76 to No. 100
By Jon Dove
The NFL Draft will be here before we know it so it’s time to start putting together the final versions of my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board.
There are plenty of players on this part of my 2018 NFL Draft Big Board who could come in as immediate contributors. This is just another example of deep this year’s draft class is and they type of talent available.
76. Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas
Ragnow is a physical player who could earn a starting role as a rookie.
77. Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego State
Penny is capable of filling an every-down role early in his career.
78. Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame
St. Brown’s production doesn’t match his physical skills meaning he could have a better pro career.
79. Tyquan Lewis, Edge, Ohio State
Lewis is a steady player who can set the edge against the run and generate pressure off the edge.
80. Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan
Hurst’s medicals are a cause for concern, but if he’s cleared to play he can generate pressure from the interior of the defensive line.
81. Malik Jefferson, LB, Texas
Jefferson’s explosiveness and overall athleticism are what a lot of teams are looking for in a linebacker prospect.
82. Dante Pettis, WR, Washington
Pettis brings a ton of speed to the field, but also has solid route running ability.

83. Josh Sweat, Edge, Florida State
Sweat needs to perform on a more consistent basis, but he has the upside to be a difference maker.
84. Joshua Jackson, CB, Iowa
Jackson is rated much higher by many, but I saw a stiff athlete who lucked in to many of this interceptions.
85. Fred Warner, LB/Edge, BYU
Warner is still raw, but has the length and quickness to provide some versatility.
86. Jessie Bates III, S, Wake Forest
Bates is a strong coverage safety prospect who could see some time at corner or in the slot.
87. Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama
Averett is a slot corner who has great movement skills. His lack of size/bulk is the only thing holding down his draft stock.
88. Justin Reid, S, Stanford
Reid is a versatile safety prospect who could hear his name called in the 2nd round.
89. Chad Thomas, Edge, Miami
Thomas has plenty of upside as an edge rusher, but needs to make impact plays on a more consistent basis.
90. Martinas Rankin, OL, Mississippi State
Rankin saw time at tackle this past year, but fits better at either center or guard.
91. Hayden Hurst, TE, Arkansas
Hurst has excellent athleticism, but is really raw as a player and offers little as a blocker.
92. Quin Blanding, S, Virginia
Blanding may not jump off the screen as a dominant player but is a steady contributor.
93. Tim Settle, DT, Virginia Tech
Settle features a rare combination of size and quickness which gives him upside as an interior penetrator.
94. Sean Welsh, OG, Iowa
Welsh is a physical interior offensive lineman who can open running lanes.
95. Mark Walton, RB, Miami
Walton is an ideal 3rd-down back thanks to his skills as a runner, receiver and pass protector.
96. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
Jackson is a tough prospect to figure out and it’s entirely possible that I have him rated too low.
97. Jaleel Scott, WR, New Mexico State
Scott is a big target who doesn’t shy away from contact.
98. Tre’Quan Smith, WR, UCF
Smith has a long and athletic frame that helps him win in contested situations.
99. R.J. McIntosh, DT, Miami
McIntosh is an explosive athlete who can penetrate the pocket.
100. Trenton Thompson, DT, Georgia
Thompson is an upside prospect whose high motor should help him reach his potential.
