Adebo might go in round 2
Good example of a player not having a year full of tape and how will that effect his draft status. A semi mystery coming into this draft. I am not saying players will significantly drop. But I can see a round or two ... we'll see.

I think TE is a huge need. If they don't take Freiermuth then the next guy I like later in Rd 4 maybe is Tony Poljan from Virginia. He played QB for a few seasons at Central Michigan, then switched to TE and transferred to Virginia. He's big and can block. Has good hands. Not great top speed but a decent athlete.

Looks like Jesse James. Poljan is 6'7 263 with long arms 33.5 inches.

The nearest Steelers bar.

Some teams really like Darden, slot receiver, punt returner. I am not that interested, but some teams definitely like him.

Jaylon Moore 6'4" 311lbs OT Western Michigan.

Moore is going to be a very good NFL tackle. I think he is one of those mid-round guys who winds up starting at RT early on because of injuries, does a very good job, gets better the next year, and eventually turns into a solid LT.

He has been on my radar. It is just with needs at T,C,RB,CB, and OLBer I wonder if we see a TE before 5/6.

Shemar Jean-Charles, CB Appalachian State
5'10", 185 lbs. Will be overlooked because not a big guy, but quick, fast. 4.47 40, Good footwork, excellent mirroring receivers, does not grab receivers, 19 passes defensed in 2 seasons.

Paulson Adebo, CB Stanford
6'1", 198 lbs., 4.42 40, 6.70 3-cone. 34 passed defended and 8 interceptions 2018-2019. Opted out of 2020. Might not qualify as a "late round" selection since he could very well go in round 3.

Jacoby Stevens, S LSU
6'1", 212 lbs., 4.50 40, 40" vertical. 155 tackles, 8 sacks, 11 passes defensed past two seasons. Ideal zone safety, two-deep guy. Sure tackler, excellent in run support. Big enough and strong enough to take on TE's in dime defense.
I've been grabbing Shemar in most of my mocks even if I took a CB earlier. When Haden goes, probably after this year, our CB room will be all very young other than Sutton who will have a few years under his belt.

Josh Palmer, WR, Tennessee Vols

the link below doesnt dig into why he ran "simple routes".
Namely because Jarrett Guarantano sucked *** as a QB. So the entire offense had to be watered down. Vanilla as possible. Because Jarrett Guarantano sucked ***. Which hampered the entire team. Defense was on the field more than they should have been, offense wasnt on the field as much because Jarrett Guarantano sucked ***. So the WRs suffered, and the Vols have routinely had good-to-excellent WR prospects.

Palmer is 6'1", 210 lbs and has good hands, fights for the ball and played against some of the best CB prospects in the draft
