2019 NFL Draft: Top 150 draft prospects big board, surprise in top three
By Ian Cummings
No. 41-45
45. Notre Dame IDL Jerry Tillery (IDL7)
Jerry Tillery is a high-upside interior defensive lineman, with a particular affinity for serving as a pass rusher on the interior. With awe-inspiring burst and unwavering tenacity (almost to a fault), Tillery has a high ceiling as a disruptive lineman, but he does need some more polish and power added to his game.
44. North Carolina State WR Kelvin Harmon (WR7)
Dissimilar to some of the high-risk options at wide receiver in the NFL Draft, North Carolina State’s Kelvin Harmon is a relatively known quantity at wide receiver. He’s a big-bodied target with modest fluidity in his routes, and he’s very reliable at the catch point. He doesn’t have the dynamic speed to take the top off of a defense, but if you throw it up top, he’ll probably get it.
43. Missouri WR Emanuel Hall (WR6)
With a tantalizing combination of size, burst, and long speed, Missouri’s Emanuel Hall has immense potential at the NFL level. He has the athleticism to make the most out of his routes and take over any open field in front of him, and while drops and injuries cloud Hall with uncertainty, with refinement, he can become a dynamic offensive weapon.
42. Maryland S Darnell Savage (S3)
Maryland’ Darnell Savage has been getting first-round hype very recently, suggesting he could be one of the prospects to take a massive leap on draft day. It’s something we see every year, and Savage is a legitimate candidate. The tape doesn’t quite say first-round; Savage has issues with instincts in coverage, and needs general development. But he’s a stellar athlete who possesses some of the most fluid movement skills among safeties, and with a little development, he can be a defensive playmaker in the NFL. His eight career interceptions and 13 pass deflections speak to his untapped ability.
41. Wisconsin iOL Michael Deiter (iOL5)
Michael Deiter can stand to add more attention to detail with his blocking plans, but the Wisconsin product has all the tools to be a very good offensive guard in the NFL. He’s 6-foot-6, 321 with exceptional mobility and functional strength. With all the traits to mold, Deiter is a solid second-round option who could pay dividends for years to come.
