Grades: Round 1 • Round 2 • Round 3 • Round 4 • Round 5Round 6 • Round 7

177. Vikings: Walter Rouse, OT, Oklahoma

Grade: B

Classic Sooners blocker. Huge, clunky feet with plenty of power. Will torque defenders out of running lanes. Plays with strong grip strength. Not a tortoise getting out into space just won’t be a speciality in the NFL. Further ahead in pass protection but can stretched beyond athletic limit by outside rushers. 

178. Steelers: Logan Lee, DT, Iowa

Grade: B-

Vintage Steelers pick here. High-caliber athlete who can win at any alignment up front although his productivity in college didn’t match how good of an athlete he is. Could stand to add some weight at next level. Has to get stronger but can win with slippery rushes between gaps. 

179. Seahawks: Sataoa Laumea, IOL, Utah

Grade: A+

One of my favorite mashers in this class. College OT but will play guard at the next level. Short-area quicks with good length and once he locks on, it’s over. Nice lateral quicks, will be useful inside. Has enough burst to get across the face of DTs on reach blocks. Awesomely balanced too. Starter. 

180. Patriots: Marcellus Dial, CB, South Carolina

Grade: A-

This is tremendous value. Zone awareness for days. Didn’t see the football thrown in his direction much. Outstanding ball skills when it does arrive. Doesn’t miss many tackles either. Hard to find a clear flaw to his game. 

181. Chargers: Kimani Vidal, RB, Troy

Grade: A

This is a future feature back. Stocky, well-built frame. Between the tackles experience and can blend slashing and multi-cut style together. Elusive, sets up blockers well and has effortless power through contact at times. Not a true burner. 

182. Titans: Jha’Quan Jackson, WR, Tulane

Grade: B+

Small, somewhat twitchy vertical threat. Not as ridiculous changing direction as his size would indicate but has electric burst and speed. Minuscule catch radius but flashed some bounce to go up and get it at times, although physicality and longer CBs give him problems. 

183. Giants: Darius Muasau, LB, UCLA

Grade: A-

No-hesitation off-ball LB with length deficiency. Quicker than fast but plays with good speed because of how fast he reacts to what he sees happening. Unafraid to meet blockers in the hole and give them a jolt. Average ball skills and tackling soundness. Feels like someone who can outplay draft position. 

184. Dolphins: Malik Washington, WR, Virginia

Grade: A+

Electric short, not small wideout who was the heartbeat of the Virginia offense after transferring from Northwestern. Wins understand with explosion and powerful lower half gives him high-end contact balance. Won’t be huge separator on full route tree. Leaper who can find it in the air. Good, not great speed. Niche type but a lot of fun. 

185. Eagles: Johnny Wilson, WR, FSU

Grade: A-

Enormous wideout, essentially a sleek TE but has legit WR-like movement skills. Hands are incredibly boom-or-burst. A moose in the open field leads to him dragging defenders and is a capable blocker. 

186. Falcons: Jase McClellan, RB, Alabama

Grade: C+

Jack of all trades, master of none with minimal mileage on his legs. Will run away from some slower defenders but not a true burner. Receiving ability is there. Vision is a strength between the tackles. Elusive but not special in that regard. Classic scatback.

187. Falcons: Casey Washington, WR, Illinois

Grade: C

Good-sized outside WR who plays with a throwback style. Jump balls, back-shoulders etc. are his speciality. Good speed for his size too. Just doesn’t have the bend or suddenness to separate consistently. 

188. Texans: Jamal Hill, LB, Oregon

Grade: B

ormer safety and it shows on his tape. He is more comfortable working in coverage than playing down in the box, but there is value in his skillset considering it is the same defensive system that allowed Talanoa Hufanga to succeed. — Josh Edwards

189. Lions: Mekhi Wingo, DT, LSU

Grade: B

Smaller, upfield rusher with some pass-rush moves, he simply needs to utilize more. Dynamic off the snap and can win with his first step alone at times. Gets overwhelmed against the run. 

190. Eagles: Dylan McMahon, IOL, NC State

Grade: C+

One of the elite testers at the center spot in this class. Lacks supreme length and it hurts him at times. Counters drive him crazy for long stretches. Accurate when climbing to second level. Balance could improve. Project-y type with traits. 

191. Cardinals: Tejhaun Porter, WR, UAB

Grade: C

Bigger-bodied classic outside receiver who wins at the catch point with good regularity. Burst off the ball is lacking, and he’s stiff changing directions, so uncovering from NFL CBs will be a challenge. Some YAC ability. Surprised he was picked. 

192. Seahawks: D.J. James, CB, Auburn

Grade: A

Has a case as the twitchiest CB in the class. Played a lot of zone and has the click-and-close skills to shine there but can also lock up in man. Tackling must improve. Serious speed to run with downfield routes. Well-rounded CB who feels like a quick transition to the pro game. 

193. Patriots: Joe Milton III, QB, Tennessee

Grade: C+

Will immediately have one of the strongest arms in the NFL. Grew a lot as a passer after transfer to Tennessee. Accuracy is very hit or miss and he’s an average athlete. Coverage-reading needs to improve. 

194. Bengals: Tanner McLachlan, TE, Arizona

Grade: B+

Older TE prospect with reasonable separation skill and consistent YAC production. Athleticism is solid overall. Project as a blocker but the receiving skill makes this worthwhile. 

195. Steelers: Ryan Watts, CB, Texas
