He lacks the range to make a big difference in the run game but can take up enough blockers to open opportunities for others. He'll likely have an early-down role in the league and can shore things up for the Cowboys. The 6-foot-1, 313-pound Briggs gets off the ball quickly with the power to make a difference early on. Byrd's quick first step makes up for his average length for the position. His motor and flashes of production give confidence he could develop into a contributor at the NFL level. But he'll need to improve a lot in run defense for Houston to get to that point.
Los Angeles Rams: Tyler Davis, DT, Clemson, Grade: B-
Unsurprisingly, the uber-athletic Bortolini gets swooped up by Indianapolis here. He was an outstanding tester at the combine and fits easily into zone schemes with his movement skills and balance. His short arms and smaller wingspan overall does give some pause, but he could develop into a center of the future for the Colts. Dorlus lined up in multiple places on the defensive line for the Ducks and led them in sacks (5.0) in 2023. He has the size and skill to get reps early on as a base end and move inside in sub situations. He does need to improve his consistency but was one of the top interior defensive linemen in the class, offering great value in Round 4.

His size is a concern, even with his dual-threat ability, as is his ball placement and consistency. After signing Shaq Barrett in free agency and drafting Chop Robinson in Round 1, the Dolphins are doubling down even more at edge with Kamara. He's a physical, high-motor pass rusher who consistently works offensive lineman despite his 6-foot-1, 248-pound frame. Cincinnati continues its recent history of defensive back investment with Newton. A five-year starter for the Horned Frogs, Newton projects well in zone schemes that will cover up for his lack of long speed. His instincts and competitiveness will help a Bengals defense looking for a turnaround in 2024.
Miami Dolphins: Mohamed Kamara, DE/OLB, Colorado State, Grade: C+
He had just two career interceptions in college despite 57 games played. His tools make him a rotational safety for a Commanders defense in need of assistance at all levels. After taking Still three picks earlier, Los Angeles gets arguably a top-100 prospect with Hart here. His size at 6 feet, 3 inches makes him one of the longer corners in the draft. He lacks ball skills but his athleticism helps him match up against varied receiver types. He'll at the very least be a top-tier special teams gunner as he grows into a bigger role on defense.

For Miami, he could work well with his play recognition and NFL-level athleticism. Washington is a reliable route runner with good ball skills and explosive movement after the catch. He's an ideal slot receiver and fits in well with Miami despite his smaller size for the position. Tennessee continues to build around quarterback Will Levis with the undersized but fast Jackson.
Davis projects as a high-floor nose tackle with outstanding strength given his size. He may struggle against longer interior blockers on the inside but he at least has the anchor to hold up against the run and bull rush against the pass. He's yet another high-motor guy on the defensive line for Los Angeles.
Playoff officials are selected through a combination of their Referee Operations grades and rankings, play-calling accuracy and team rankings. The evaluations continue in each round of the playoffs to determine which referees continue to advance. If the Heat can upset Boston, Spoelstra would almost certainly pass No. 6 Larry Brown (193). But if the Celtics win the series, by any margin, four Boston coaches would benefit. The Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James will extend at least two league playoff records in every game he plays for the remainder of the season.
By default, two of those three marks will grow with every game in which he appears. The Boston Celtics had almost no trouble at all with the 14 teams that didn’t make the playoffs this season, going 35-4 against those squads. Pratt was a four-year starter at Tulane and that experience shines through on tape. His delivery is quick, clean, and he produces when he's in a rhythm.
This includes everything from the natural, sun drenched look of Balayage to Ombre‘s dynamic color transition. With so many hair color options available we highly recommend calling and scheduling a free color consultation at one of our six salon locations. • GM Tom Telesco will be glad he went “best player available” in taking tight end Brock Bowers, the 13th selection, in his first Raiders draft. Slot receiver Ladd McConkey’s stunning speed will translate to the NFL.
Gargiulo started at both center and left guard for the Gamecocks in 2023. He's a great mover but doesn't have the power to control defenders in the run game. He works best in a zone scheme and offers versatility in a backup role for the Broncos.
Jerrell has 40 starts at right tackle with Findlay and has impressive agility for his frame. He'll need time to adjust to the NFL level but has the length and toughness to potentially develop over time. At this pick, this may be a move to ensure they won't need to outbid other teams to sign him post-draft. He has the longest arms of any defensive back at the combine this year. He needs to improve his discipline in coverage or move to safety (which he did during East-West Shrine Bowl practices). At the very least, he will contribute on special teams right away and the Steelers can develop him from there.
His route running is solid and his college production is among the best in Michigan's history. Despite his relatively short arms and small hands, he's reliable in 50/50 ball situations. His concentration leads to drops at times but he can grow into role with the Chargers. After picking up Hunter Nourzad in Round 5, the Chiefs get another backup interior offensive lineman with Hanson. He started 38 games at right guard in college and his quickness in the run game provides a solid foundation. He will need to get stronger to compete against NFL defenders in pass protection.
