65. Browns select Zay Jones, Wide Receiver
Jones tested impeccably for a big wide receiver, running a 4.45 40-yard dash and leading the position in the broad jump and short shuttle. Among 164 catchable targets last year, Jones dropped just six.
numberFire Says: Wide receiver Terrelle Pryor's free agency departure left a huge talent vacuum in a group that already produced the 11th-least total Reception NEP in 2016, and the Browns could use a possession receiver to complement speed man Corey Coleman.
66. 49ers select Jordan Willis, Edge Rusher
With excellent speed and a high motor, Willis racked up 20.0 sacks and 31.5 tackles for a loss the past two seasons at Kansas State. Though he'll have to develop another pass rushing move or two, he has the talent to be a productive pass-rusher in the NFL.
numberFire Says: After ranking 26th and 30th in Adjusted Defensive Passing and Rushing NEP per play, respectively, San Francisco needs help everywhere on defense. Willis would complement Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner along the 49ers defensive line.
75. Bills select Obi Melifonwu, Strong Safety
Melifonwu is getting a ton of hype for his phenomenal size and speed, but his smaller-program pedigree might let him slip. Still, he turned in a whopping 118 tackles and 4 interceptions this year, and his tape backs up a sky-high upside.
numberFire Says: The Bills need a big-hitting safety to emerge without Corey Graham, and Melifonwu will help them establish a physical presence in the secondary and bump them up from 20th in both Adjusted Defensive Passing and Rushing NEP per play.
