2019 NFL Draft: Top 150 draft prospects big board, surprise in top three
By Ian Cummings
No. 81-85
85. Stanford LB Bobby Okereke (LB4)
Stanford’s Bobby Okereke has some development to do before he reaches his full potential, but his full potential is a very enticing concept. Okereke has great proportional length to pair with electric athleticism, and if he continues to develop, he can be a versatile starter on the second level, with the ability to both cover and wrap up runners while in pursuit.
84. Charlotte iOL Nate Davis (iOL7)
Possessing a confidence-inspiring blend of movement quickness and force at the point of attack, Charlotte’s Nate Davis has the traits to suggest he could start at the next level. There are some mechanical issues to iron out, but what you can’t teach, Davis has. And in the middle rounds, he could be a starter attained at great value. The Redskins have shown interest in him.
83. Ole Miss OT Greg Little (OT7)
Greg Little has all the tools to become a starting tackle, with a 6-foot-5, 320-pound frame and good athleticism. However, his game contains many wasted motions, and he needs serious polish at the next level if he’s going to reach his ceiling.
82. Alabama RB Damien Harris (RB5)
Damien Harris was overshadowed in an Alabama backfield that featured many weapons, including fellow 2019 NFL Draft prospect Joshua Jacobs. Harris isn’t nearly as dynamic as Jacobs, but he offers some utility with his stout build, fortitude in the fact of contact, and anticipatory vision to make the most out of opening lanes. Harris might never be a go-to back who can create yards when nothing’s there, but he has the skill set to be inserted into a stable offense and produce, with his vision and reliability.
81. Ole Miss WR Damarkus Lodge (WR15)
Everyone talks about D.K. Metcalf and A.J. Brown, but there’s one more Ole Miss receiver who projects well as an NFL Draft prospect. Damarkus Lodge only has average size at around 6-foot-1, 200, but he’s an underrated athlete with the ability to cultivate burst both laterally and vertically, and the quick twitch and subtle hand physicality to work off of press coverage with ease. Lodge was coddled in a sense by Ole Miss’ offense, as was Metcalf, but Lodge has the traits to suggest he can be a better pro, with more opportunities at his disposal.
