2. Vega Leone, G, Penn State - Generational talent in Quenton Nelson mold, brilliant technical and physical efficiency.
3. Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame - Elite prospect with power & juke; only a bad offensive line could halt this Saquon Barkley 2.

6. Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State - Strong bodied wrecking crew type in Ray Lewis mold who works through phone booths well.
7. Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State - Rangy weakside LB goes sideline to sideline with ease; best tackler in the draft.
8. Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State - Expanded route tree & oily hips; speed; climbs the ladder well with big frame, top end assets.
9. Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU - Climbs the latter well - contested catch ballerina/magician; solid add to an NFL secondary.
