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

No. 26-30

30. Texas IDL Charles Omenihu (IDL5)

At 6-foot-6, 275, Charles Omenihu is a superlative terror on the defensive line. Possessing stellar explosion out of his stance, a devastating long arm with which he can gain leverage and swim into the pocket, and a violent attack mentality, Omenihu projects well as a very disruptive interior lineman, especially on passing downs. His size-athleticism combination gives him some versatility on the interior, and while he can better mitigate his own height by striving to attain lower leverage, he’s already a menace with even more room to grow.

29. LSU CB Greedy Williams (CB3)

A stellar athlete with exceptional length at the cornerback position, Greedy Williams has excellent potential as a zone corner in the NFL. That said, he does have some limitations. He tends to avoid tackling altogether, and he sometimes fails to get his head around to combat the ball in man coverage. Some of Williams’ issues are easily redeemable, while others might be ingrained into his makeup. Still, Williams is a high-upside pick worthy of consideration early.

28. South Carolina WR Deebo Samuel (WR2)

Many of the big play threats in the 2019 NFL Draft have coinciding questions surrounding their size, or their ability to fend off injury with relatively thin frames. Deebo Samuel is a big play threat of a different breed, however. Samuel is an explosive athlete with immense attention to detail intertwined in his routes. He offers the elusive ability of a running back after the catch, and at the catch point, he possesses laser focus and sticky hands. Samuel is a very valuable pick in Round 2, especially for the Redskins, who could use receiving help and returning help, all in one.

27. Michigan State CB Justin Layne (CB2)

Once a sleeper in the 2019 NFL Draft, Michigan State’s Justin Layne has skyrocketed up draft boards as of late. A very disruptive pass defender, Layne logged an interception and 15 pass deflections in his junior season with the Spartans. Layne’s ball production can be attributed to his recent transition from wide receiver. He has the natural instincts to make a play on the ball, as well as the ability to do so with explosive closing speed and imposing length. Layne is also a very willing, physical tackler, which gives him the edge over Greedy Williams. With solid athleticism, instincts, and disruption ability, Layne has a very high ceiling as he continues his transition from the offensive side of the ball.

26. Washington State OT Andre Dillard (OT4)

Adding players who have the unteachable traits is a primary goal for many teams during the 2019 NFL Draft, and Washington State’s Andre Dillard has the unteachable traits at offensive tackle He’s an incredible athlete with mesmerizing lateral movement skills and recovery ability. Dillard needs a lot of work as a run blocker, as he played in a pass-heavy offense, and even as a pass blocker, he needs more refinement with his hands. But if he’s the hard worker his coaches say he is, then he can be a top-tier talent at tackle in the NFL.
