2019 NFL Draft: Top 150 draft prospects big board, surprise in top three

No. 96-100

100. Duke QB Daniel Jones (QB6)

Daniel Jones cracks the Top 100 thanks to his poise and his pocket toughness, but he’ll need more than that to crack into the starting lineup in the NFL, as many expect him to do. Jones’ toughness is his best trait on tape, and the David Cutcliffe connection is often referenced, but Jones has plenty of work to do, in terms of refining his progression work and field vision. With good athleticism and only average arm talent, Jones needs to be on top of his mental game to live up to his draft stock. He can do so, if inserted into the right situation. But he doesn’t have the accuracy or talent to transcend the circumstances.

99. Auburn WR Darius Slayton (WR19)

Darius Slayton is a sleeper with some very exhilarating upside at the NFL level. Limited by a simplified Auburn offense and the general inaccuracy of Jarrett Stidham, Slayton can shine if he goes to a destination where his excellent combination of size, catch point aggression, speed, and run-after-catch ability can be magnified to the highest power.

98. Oklahoma OT Bobby Evans (OT8)

Thanks to Cody Ford, Bobby Evans is “the other tackle” at Oklahoma. Ford sets a high standard as an NFL prospect, but from under the shadow of Ford, Bobby Evans has a very promising profile as well. He isn’t as athletic or as powerful as Ford, but in the midst of a top ten prospect, Evans carries his own weight. He’s a lengthy bookend with solid athleticism in his own right, and although he could stand to further refine his hand technique a bit, he projects well as a starting blindside blocker, and at a decent price.

97. Utah S Marquise Blair (S9)

For teams looking for a safety with single-high upside, Utah’s Marquise Blair is a player who could fit that mold at the next level. At 6-foot-2, he offers a tantalizing combination of rangy speed and disruptive length, and while he displayed some inconsistency with his instincts on the back end with the Utes, he’s young, and he has the talent worth being patient.

96. Florida LB Vosean Joseph (LB6)

Vosean Joseph is one of the more intriguing prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft. Joseph has a great mix of size and athleticism, and he shows flashes of quick diagnosis, devastating hit power, and heat seeking ability. That said, consistency has yet to be attained by Joseph, in regards to his mental game. If he can develop, however, he has the athletic upside to start and flourish in multiple schemes.
