2019 NFL Draft: Top 150 draft prospects big board, surprise in top three
By Ian Cummings
No. 56-60
60. Ole Miss TE Dawson Knox (TE5)
Stuck in a pedestrian offensive scheme with three NFL-caliber wide receivers, Dawson Knox didn’t produce as much as one would want from a top 60 NFL Draft prospect. But on the tape, Knox looks the part. In limited reps, he shows off great functional strength, solid athletic ability for his position, and good traits as a receiver as well. With development at the NFL level, he can reach a new level of production.
59. Clemson CB Trayvon Mullen (CB6)
Trayvon Mullen is an NFL Draft prospect with great length and a disruptive presence. He was part of Clemson’s championship defense that smothered Tua Tagovailoa for much of the 2018 NCAA title game, and while he has mechanical issues to sort out, his potential is alluring.
58. West Virginia OT Yodny Cajuste (OT6)
A recent quad surgery knocked Yodny Cajuste down the board a bit, as his initial utility will be compromised. But the West Virginia product should come back to full health in due time, and when he does, his top fifty worthy combination of light side-stepping feet, length, and hand placement will show up often on Sundays. Cajuste has the desired mentality from an NFL blocker, and with his combination of traits, he should be able to become a starter, and maintain that role.
57. Minnesota LB Blake Cashman (LB3)
He doesn’t have an imposing wingspan as a linebacker, but Blake Cashman out of Minnesota possesses an impressive blend of athletic ability, instincts, and situational awareness. He produced a great deal with the Golden Gophers, and with his easy movement skills and eyes that always stay alert, Cashman should continue to thrive in the NFL.
56. Massachusetts WR Andy Isabella (WR10)
His unimposing, compact size might limit him at the next level in some respects, but the acceleration in space, speed, and stark, energetic craftiness after the catch that Massachusetts’ Andy Isabella possesses could place him in a similar vein as some of the NFL’s premier deep threats. He could do better to attain more consistency as a hands catcher, but his versatile explosive ability and penchant for production will keep him in the wheelhouse as an offensive chess piece, at the very least.
