Picks 154-157

154. Baltimore Ravens: QB Chase Litton, Marshall

With Joe Flacco inciting no confidence in Baltimore, the Ravens may at least sign a solid backup for him to coach up. Chase Litton fits this job description well; like Flacco, he’s tall, and he has a big arm. Litton also has some of the mobility that Flacco lacks. Sitting behind Flacco for a couple years, Litton could learn the ins and outs of being a tall quarterback in the NFL, and when it’s his time to compete for the job, he could effectively end a quarterback era in Baltimore.

155. Los Angeles Chargers: WR Jester Weah, Pittsburgh

As a wide receiver, if you’re 6-foot-2 and run a 4.43 40-yard dash, you’re automatically going to garner some time of interest. Luckily for Jester Weah, he has that going for him. And that’s not the only thing.

Weah isn’t the most precise route runner, but he is very reliable catching the football. He knows where he needs to be, and he catches with his hands, not his chest. For the Los Angeles Chargers, who have a solid starting core of receivers already, Weah would provide needed depth, with the potential to grow.

156. Philadelphia Eagles (via SEA): RB Mark Walton, Miami

As if the Eagles had enough weapons in their running back stable. With the No. 156 pick in the NFL Draft, they take yet another: Miami running back Mark Walton. Walton’s quickness will make him worth a long look at the next level. He has impressive cuts, and while he lacks in other areas, such as size and vision, he ha the natural athletic tendencies to succeed in a specific role. A running back stable of Jay Ajayi, Corey Clement, and Mark Walton could prove to be very dangerous.

157. New York Jets (via DAL): OG Toby Weathersby, LSU

As it stands, the New York Jets can add another quality interior offensive lineman through the NFL Draft. In Round 5, the chances of coming across one of those is lower than normal, but with Toby Weatherby, they get a player who can develop into just that.

Weathersby, hailing out of LSU, has somewhat sloppy fundamentals. He played tackle at LSU, but his body makeup almost guarantees him a role as a guard in the NFL. He has good awareness of what his assignments are, and he always seems to keep looking for work as the play progresses. Weathersby can provide depth for the Jets right away, and with the right coaching, he could become a decent spot-starter.
