22. Dolphins select Malik McDowell, Defensive Lineman
A versatile, athletic lineman, McDowell played both inside and outside in college, totaling a career 24.5 tackles for a loss and 7.5 sacks. He's a bit raw, but at only 20 years old, he has the potential to be a very disruptive lineman in the NFL.
numberFire Says: Miami struggled against the run last season, ranking 29th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play. The Dolphins need to improve their defensive line alongside Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake.
25. Texans select DeShone Kizer, Quarterback
Kizer's greatest qualities -- size and a big arm -- are ones highly coveted by the Texans in their quarterback. Kizer is rough around the edges in terms of his reads and anticipation, but he has the prototypical tools to be a franchise passer.
numberFire Says: The Texans' Brock Osweiler and Tom Savage produced the third-worst Passing NEP per drop back among quarterback groups in 2016.
26. Seahawks select Cam Robinson, Offensive Tackle
At 6'6”, 322 pounds, Robinson possesses great size and strength needed to succeed in the NFL. He's an impressive run blocker and could play at tackle or slide over to guard. His big issue is awareness: he has 23 dead-ball penalties called on him alone over the past two years.
numberFire Says: Seattle finished with the worst Rushing Success Rate and sixth-highest in Sack NEP allowed in 2016. They need help at just about every position along their offensive line.
32. Saints select Tre’Davious White, Cornerback
White impressed in coverage at LSU, knocking down 34 passes total in his career -- including 14 this past season. He improved over his four years as a tackler as well, and could play the slot or outside in the NFL.
numberFire Says: New Orleans' secondary was a mess, and the Saints ranked 30th in the NFL in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. Help alongside Delvin Breaux is needed.
