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

136. Jaguars: Yasir Abdullah, EDGE, Louisville

Grade: C+

Body of a big LB but was essentially an EDGE-only in college. Exudes explosiveness. Moments of stunning power. No counters right now. Adding a tools-y EDGE at this stage of the draft is smart for Jaguars. He is a project type though. 

137. Commanders: K.J. Henry, EDGE, Clemson

Grade: C

Looks the part as a strong EDGE. Three-down type who’s better against the run than anything else. Pass-rush move arsenal is almost non-existent. Will win at times simply due to his frame and power. Will be 25 as a rookie.

138. Colts: Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina

Grade: A-

Long, ball-magnet with serious athleticism to run with perimeter WRs in the NFL. Not super sticky in coverage but makes up for that with his length and awareness. Another traits-y Colts selection. 

139. Cardinals: Clayton Tune, QB, Houston

Grade: B+

Sleeper QB prospect. Decent not amazing arm talent but will have a few highlight reel throws every game. Plus athlete who was successful in the designed run game in college and could be a weapon with his legs at the next level. Accuracy is inconsistent and pocket presence needs work. 

140. Browns: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, QB, UCLA

Grade: A-

Thompson-Robinson gets more out of his talent than most prospects in this class. Gamer. Does anything to win. Talented too, in a smaller frame. Won’t be able to run as much in the NFL. But possesses a solid arm and reads coverage well. Smart choice here. Can be a spot starter. 

141. Colts: Jaquelin Roy, DT, LSU 

Grade: C+

Grown man at defensive tackle. On the draft radar for a while for a reason. Pre-planned rushes are usually effective. Despite his menacing size does get moved in the run game relatively often. Plays more athletic than his workout.

142. Browns: Cameron Mitchell, CB, Northwestern

Grade: B-

Looks the part as someone who could outplay his draft position. Youthful, plus athlete,…
