2019 NFL Draft: Top 150 draft prospects big board, surprise in top three
By Ian Cummings
No. 91-95
95. LSU TE Foster Moreau (TE8)
At 6-foot-5, 255, Foster Moreau has great size for an NFL Draft tight end prospect, and he couples good athleticism with that size. He’s very workmanlike overall; a mauler as a blocker, and a reliable target in contested catch situations. Moreau doesn’t have the short area quickness to be a dominant route running specialist, but his size should help him function as a safety blanket, should he develop more nuance at the next level.
94. Mississippi State iOL Elgton Jenkins (iOL8)
A good mover for his 6-foot-4, 312-pound size, Mississippi State’s Elgton Jenkins has the requisite mobility and the high blocking I.Q. to be a functioning starter at the next level. That said, he can be relatively timid at times, and he doesn’t have long arms, which could hinder his consistency against longer NFL defensive linemen. Still, Jenkins is a high-floor NFL Draft prospect who could, with some issues ironed out, hold down a starting interior role.
93. Georgia WR Riley Ridley (WR18)
Analytics junkies will cry out in agony at the sound of Riley Ridley’s name; the Georgia product apparently has one of the worst analytics profiles ever seen. Despite his late breakout age and his low dominator rating, however, Ridley shows off impressive route running nuance and savvy on tape, understanding situational leverage and the fluctuations of the open field as the play progresses. Ridley will never be a No. 1 receiving option, but with his attention to detail, he can be a solid complimentary threat.
92. Texas Tech WR Antoine Wesley (WR17)
You’ll find that I tend to favor wide receivers who possess a certain combination of size and fluidity as athletes, and Texas Tech’s Antoine Wesley has a good tool set to bring to the table, in that regard. At 6-foot-5, 200, with 34-inch arms, Wesley is long and lanky, and yet he makes the most out of his routes with quick feet and an understanding of nuance. As he fleshes out his frame, Wesley will be able to better acclimate himself to the NFL game, and with his attention to detail, he can maximize his length and vertical athleticism, and become a suitable weapon in the pro game.
91. Washington State RB James Williams (RB6)
He’s a joystick who bounces off of contact and has ankle mobility like few others. Washington State’s James Williams is limited somewhat with a thin frame, but he’s a very elusive runner who has a natural feel for congestion as situations fluctuate around him. He’s an excellent receiving threat out of the backfield, and with his ability to create, teams will be clamoring for him in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft, as a potential steal, and a dynamic weapon.
