11. Carolina Panthers- Xavier McKinney, S Alabama

Slowly climbing up my draft board due to his ball skills and ability to finish tackles, McKinney gives the Carolina Panthers a safety prospect that is very well rounded in his abilities. He is able to anticipate routes well, giving him a jump because of his athleticism. McKinney’s physical nature and length also allows him to match up well with opposing tight ends.

12. Atlanta Falcons- AJ Epenesa, EDGE Iowa

A versatile edge player that can play in 3-4 or 4-3 schemes will feel right at home with Dan Quinn. Epenesa is hard to stop without double-teaming him due to his high gear motor. The Falcons have lacked pressure on opposing quarterbacks, currently tied for 30th in the league for sacks with a pedestrian 23. Epenesa gives this defense a fast, physical, and flexible edge rusher that can turn this team around right away.

13. Oakland Raiders- Isaiah Simmons, LB Clemson

Just about every team could use a physical specimen like Isaiah Simmons. With his long body, crazy closing speed, and explosiveness, Raiders fans should be very excited about this pick. A true sideline to sideline linebacker than can also play man coverage. He also has some experience playing safety, which is an added plus with this pick.
