24.  Taylor Decker, OT – Ohio State: (6-7, 310) Projected Round – 1st.  Taylor Decker is has great size for an offensive tackle.  But even with that great size he has even better feet.  He moves well out on an island against pass rushers.  Once he gets his arms extended it’s hard for them to get around him.  Decker also plays with a nasty disposition, especially in run blocking.  Not a bad trait to have for a left tackle.  LW #

23.  Eli Apple, CB – Ohio State: (6-1, 200) Projected Round – 1st-2nd.  Eli Apple has the kind of size that NFL general managers love in a cornerback.  He can play physical against bigger wide receivers in press coverage and he has the speed to stay with receivers deep alos.  Apple ran a 4.40 forty at the NFL Combine.  He is a sure tackler in run support as well.  LW # 

22.  Robert Nkemdiche, DT – Mississippi: (6-3, 295) Projected Round – 1st.  Robert Nkemdiche has top ten talent.  He’s 6’3, 295 but even at that size is one of the best athletes in the draft.  However, there are some of the issues that Nkemdiche must prove won’t affect his performance on the field.  He’ll go lower than he should because of that but I know that there are teams that covet his play making abilities and will take a chance on him regardless.  LW #
