Javon Hargrave. 88. player. 49. The value was not at defensive tackle when the Packers selected in the first two rounds, but we all know they need more talent on the line. Hargrave is an ascending player who could play the nose, but who might actually be a better fit at 5 tech defensive end. He had 45 tackles for loss in his career and South Carolina State and is also very effective as a pass rusher. He is a big man who wouldn’t have to come off the field in passing situations. — Kyle. <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Dan’s alternative pick:</em> Joe Schobert, OLB, Wisconsin – </strong>The third round may be a little high for Schobert, but the fact he can play either outside or inside linebacker in a 3-4 front makes him a valuable piece for a team like the Packers. He could be an option in the third round if Green Bay doesn’t like their choices at defensive or offensive line.</p>. Defensive Line. South Carolina State

89. player. 55. I’m not sure if Killebrew’s best fit in the NFL is at strong safety or linebacker, but either way, he’d give Pittsburgh a tough, physical player to roam the middle of the field. — Dan. Safety. Southern Utah. Miles Killebrew

Defensive Tackle. Nebraska. Maliek Collins. 90. player. 36. Collins isn’t the most well-rounded prospect in the draft, but he is one of the most explosive. He needs a coaching staff who knows how to turn raw ability into consistent production. Seattle knows a little something about producing good defenders. — Kyle.

Murray is one of the more underrated corners in this class. Here the Patriots luck out and find a starting-caliber defensive back at the end of the third round. — Dan. Cornerback. Minnesota. Eric Murray. 91. player. 47

Matakevich doesn’t check any of the boxes, but still insists on making plays. He is the guy you hope can continue to do it at the next level. — Kyle. Inside Linebacker. Temple. Tyler Matakevich. 92. player. 32

player. 87. Jonathan Stewart is currently 28, and as his career begins to wind down, Carolina is going to need to find the future at the position. Prosise is a great blend of power, speed, and shiftiness in the open field. — Dan. Running Back. Notre Dame. C.J. Prosise. 93
