2019 NFL draft: Minnesota Vikings 3-round mock draft
By Bryan Perez
Round 3, Pick 81: Jaylon Ferguson, Edge, Louisiana Tech

Will he drop because of that one poor test result? Possibly. And if he does, someone is going to get a steal.
Ferguson set the all-time FBS career record for sacks (45) during his tenure at Louisiana Tech, and while he may not be the flashiest edge rusher from a quick-twitch or burst standpoint, he takes good angles and has above-average instincts when it comes to hunting down quarterbacks.
