Malik Washington will eventually be the starting slot in Miami and amazing.

There is a world where he is the star we get from this draft.

My grades so far 1-Mims-B+, Not sure who i would have rather had. Makes a ton of sense to go for it there 2-Jenkins-A. Didn't have him on my list because I didn't think about how good he is at stopping the run and his other numbers are bad. He's great on the field. Captain etc. 3A-Burton-B+. His film is incredible. Lets hope he can get his head on straight You can see a world where he blows up and then is a headache come contract time. 3B-Jackson-B. NT. The 2 time team captain is meaningful. I think he adds toI f the DT rotation immediately. 4-All-C-. Just take Stover. I don't get this one. All just seems like a guy we will never be able to count on. Back injuries for TEs is a no go for me. 5-Newton-C.-I don't see him making an impact Take Hunter Nourzac

Does that mean we don't sign a vet at CB?

20. JOSH NEWTON | TCU 5105 | 190 lbs. | 6SR Monroe, La. (Ouachita Parish) 9/14/2000 (age 23.61) #2 BACKGROUND: Josh Newton grew up in Monroe. He started playing football at age 6, but his first love was track — he won a youth national championship in the 4x100 in 2011. Newton attended Ouachita Parish High School, where he was a three-year varsity letterman and played both ways as a cornerback and wide receiver. After starting as a junior, he earned first team All-District honors as a senior, helping Ouachita Parish to a 7-5 record and the second round of the 2017 5A state playoffs. Newton finished his final season with 35 receptions for 733 yards (20.9 average) and 11 touchdowns. He also ran track in high school (sprints and relays) and advanced to the 2018 state championships after setting a personal best in the 100 meters (10.67 seconds) at regionals. A two-star recruit, Newton was the No. 450 wide receiver in the 2018 recruiting class and the No. 142 recruit in Louisiana. He struggled to receive much attention as a recruit until his hometown school, Louisiana-Monroe, offered him a full-ride scholarship a few weeks before signing day. That ended up being his only FBS offer. Newton was the No. 23 recruit (out of 24) in former head coach Matt Viator’s 2018 class. He signed as a wide receiver but transitioned t o cornerback during 2019 spring practices. He also joined the track team at Louisiana-Monroe and set personal bests of 6.91 in the 60 meters and 23.34 in the 200 as a sophomore in 2020. After four seasons with the program, Newton entered the transfer portal in December 2021 but decided to stay at Louisiana-Monroe so he could graduate. After receiving his degree five months later (May 2022), he reentered the transfer portal and enrolled at TCU a few weeks later. Newton took advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted because of the pandemic and returned to Fort Worth for his sixth season in 2023. He accepted his invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl but was unable to participate because of injury.

WEAKNESSES: Average size and speed for the position by NFL standards … can be stressed versus sprinting speed and must win early to avoid the burn unit … footwork get crazed at the top of his routes and struggles to regain phase after he loses it … will clutch and grab when challenged vertically, leading to attention from officials … needs to do a better job getting his head turned mid-stride … not a confident catcher and left some interceptions on the field … inconsistent tackle balance will lead to misses in the run game … wasn’t used as a blitzer and didn’t make a ton of plays near the line of scrimmage … NFL scouts cooled on him throughout his final season in college … will be a 24-year-old rookie. SUMMARY: A two-year starter at TCU, Newton was primarily an outside cornerback in defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie’s 3-3-5 scheme (with packages of two-high and one-high looks). After four seasons at Louisiana-Monroe, he transferred to Fort Worth and led the Horned Frogs with 24 combined passes defended over the last two seasons. Whether in bump-and-run or zone coverage, Newton plays both alert and smooth to diagnose route combinations and outcompete receivers to the catch point. However, he struggles to recover after coverage missteps — he had a tough time keeping up with Texas’ talented wide receivers in 2023 (allowed nine catches for 131 yards and one touchdown in that game and was flagged for holding twice). Overall, Newton has only average twitch and long speed for tight coverage versus NFL athletes, but he is instinctive and competitive with inside-outside experience. He projects best in a zone-heavy scheme, in which he can work short areas and play the ball in front of him. GRADE: 4th-5th Round

I think logically interior OL makes the most sense here Nourzad or Limmer

They are going to take someone here we don't know. Some LB or Corner

Taking lots of risks

11. ERICK ALL | Iowa 6043 | 252 lbs. | 5SR Fairfield, Ohio (Fairfield) 9/13/2000 (age 23.62) #83 BACKGROUND: Erick All, the middle child of three, grew up in Richmond, Ind. When he was five months old, in February 2021, his family home was engulfed in flames. All wasn’t breathing when a fireman (Tom Broyles) rescued him from a second-story window, but an EMT (Shawn Phenis) was able to resuscitate him. After 10 days in the hospital, All returned home with only a few minor scars. Hisfamily relocated to Ohio, where All blossomed in youth sports in Fairfield, specifically baseball and football. He attended Fairfield High School, where he played JV as a freshman and varsity his final three seasons (teammates with future FBS OT Jackson Carman and DE Malik Vann). After recording 15 catches for 248 yards as a sophomore wide receiver, All moved to tight end as a junior and caught 28 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns, earning first team All-Conference and second team All-District. As a senior, he led Fairfield to a 7-4 record and the school’s fourth straight trip to the state playoffs. He again finished first team All-Conference as a senior with 30 catches for 465 yards and four touchdowns. All also punted and returned punts and was named Fairfield’s Special Teams MVP. He also played varsity baseball as a sophomore but gave up the sport to focus on year-round football. A four-star recruit, All was the No. 12 tight end in the 2019 recruiting class and the No. 10 recruit in Ohio. With Cade Stover list ed as a linebacker, All was the highestranked tight end recruit in the state. His first offer was from his hometown Cincinnati in June 2017, followed by nearby Kentucky and Indiana. All later added Power 5 offers from Boston College, Florida State, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Wisconsin. He earned MVP honors at a Michigan camp the summer before his senior year and committed to the Wolverines in June 2018. Growing up an Alabama fan, All disliked his home state Buckeyes, which was another driving force that led him to Ann Arbor. He was the No. 13 recruit in Michigan’s 2019 class. After missing most of the 2022 season following surgery, All entered the transfer portal and left on messy terms, stemming from split opinion regarding his 2022 back injury (All’s tweet: “Not everything/everyone are what they seem and I learned that from my time at Michigan.”). Because of how Iowa features the tight end position, he had his eye on the Hawkeyes even before entering the portal and committed soon after visiting Iowa. His girlfrie nd gave birth to the couple’s son (Houston) in September 2022, and the family lived together in Iowa City in 2023. All earned his general studies bachelor’s degree from Michigan. He would have received an invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl had it not been for his ACL injury.

WEAKNESSES: Dropped too many easy throws … can run the full route tree but lacks refinement with his steps and pacing, giving defenders a chance to drive on the catch point … can be baited into extra contact with defenders … only average physicality as a blocker and doesn’t have the body power to turn defenders from the hole … wasn’t asked to block in pass protection … his medical evaluation will be paramount after he suffered back-to-back season-ending injuries — he underwent “life-changing” spine surgery at the BioSpine Institute in Fort Myers, Fla. (October 2022), which sidelined him for most of the 2022 season; tore the ACL i n his right knee (October 2023) and missed the second half of the 2023 season. SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Iowa, All was a “move” tight end in former offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz’s pro-style spread scheme (56.2 percent of his snaps in the slot, 41.3 percent inline). After four years in Ann Arbor, he needed a fresh start following his 2022 back injury. He then led Iowa in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in 2023, despite missing the final seven games (ACL tear). A promising pass catcher, All shows athletic movements up and down the field with natural tracking skills, although he needs to cut back on focus drops. Though he is more strong than powerful, All is competent as a blocker with his ability to locate and hook defenders from the backfield or wing. Overall, All needs to continue developing his consistency, but he is solid across the board with his athletic receiving traits and willingness as a blocker. If healthy (a big “if”), he projects as a No. 2 tight end on an NFL depth chart, as an F tight end or H-back.

All really didn't do much the last two years after having spinal surgery and then an ACL.

21. MCKINNLEY JACKSON | Texas A&M 6014 | 326 lbs. | 4SR Lucedale, Miss. (George County) 12/26/2001 (age 22.33) #3 BACKGROUND: McKinnley Jackson was born and raised in Lucedale and often lived with his grandmother as both of his parents spent time in and out of prison. Jackson started to blossom with sports, especially football, because of his size. He was so dominant in middle school that he was moved up to the varsity team at George County High School in eighth grade. Jackson was a four-year starter on varsity and posted remarkable production for a defensive tackle. He tallied 60 tackles, 30.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and five forced fumbles as a freshman. As a sophomore, Jackson finished with 81 tackles, 36.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks and seven forced fumbles as a sophomore. As a junior, he finished with a career high in tackles (91) and sacks (11.5). Jackson was named the 6A Mississippi Mr. Football as a senior with 76 tackles, 37.0 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks and one forced fumble. After subpar finishes in 2017 and 2018, Jackson led George County back to the playoffs in 2019 and was named a U.S. Army All-American. He finished his prep career with 308 tackles, 135 tackles for loss, 48 sacks and 16 forced fumbles. A four-star recruit, Jackson was the No. 9 defensive tackle in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 1 recruit in Mississippi (one spot ahead of CB Emmanuel Forbes). He was the No. 62 recruit nationally. Jackson received his first scholarship offer at age 12, when Louisiana offered in eighth grade. It didn’t take long for SEC programs to take notice, and Ole Miss and Auburn offered him toward the end of his freshman year. Jackson originally committed to LSU midway through his sophomore season, but he decommitted a few months later and reopened his recruitment. He attended multiple camps throughout SEC country and ultimately committed to Texas A&M over Alabama, Auburn and LSU. Jackson was the No. 6 recruit in head coach Jimbo Fisher’s 2020 recruiting class (one spot behind RB De’Von Achane). Jackson opted out of the 2023 bowl game and accepted his invitation to the 2024 Senior Bowl. YEAR (GP/GS) TKLS TFL SACK FF PD INT NOTES 2020: (10/1) 13 2.0 1.5 0 2 0 SEC All-Freshman; Enrolled in May 2020; Pandemic-shortened season 2021: (10/4) 14 1.0 1.0 0 0 0 Suspended first two games (offseason arrest) 2022: (8/7) 37 7.0 2.0 0 0 0 Blocked PAT; Team captain; Missed five games (elbow) 2023: (12/12) 27 5.5 3.0 1 0 0 Team captain; Missed bowl game (opt out) Total: (40/24) 91 15.5 7.5 1 2 0 HT WT HAND ARM WING 40-YD 20-YD 10-YD VJ BJ SS 3C BP COMBINE 6014 326 10 33 7/8 80 1/4 5.26 3.01 1.78 23 8’10” - - - (no shuttle, 3-cone, bench press — choice) PRO DAY 6014 336 10 33 7/8 80 1/4 - - - - - 4.90 7.89 24 (stood on combine run and jumps) STRENGTHS: Broad-chested with burly thighs and natural girth in his upper body … uses low center of gravity and knee bend to his advantage, establishing early leverage … able to reestablish the line of scrimmage when he times up the snap and generates power through his hips … exceptional length with heaviness in his massive hands to create thump at contact … uses a fairly fluid arm-over move to clear the blocker … flashes bull-rush potential when he continues to drive his lower body … plays with the balance to keep his feet through traffic … moves well laterally to attack the edges of blocks … stays active to clean up on coverage sacks … twoyear team captain and was respected in the Aggies’ locker room. WEAKNESSES: His second and third steps don’t match his first step … feet stall out too quickly once blockers lock on … snap anticipation runs hot and cold (jumped offside on the 2023 Miami tape) … doesn’t look natural when attempting to patch together rush moves … inconsistent backfield vision and often late to diagnose the play design … can be moved by double teams and when caught out of position … missed almost half of his junior season because of an elbow injury (September 2022) … arrested on drug charges (August 2021), including possession of a controlled substance, and suspended for the first two games of the 2021 season … averaged just 35.8 defensive snaps per game in 2023, as the coaches tried to keep him fresh. SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Texas A&M, Jackson was the nose tackle in former defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin four-man front, playing primarily over the Agap. He was drawing early-round draft grades from NFL scouts the summer before the 2023 season, but his final season in College Station was uneven in b oth production and performance. Jackson has the long arms and initial burst to rudely slam his hands into blocks, displaying contact balance and natural strength to hold the point. Though he flashes explosion out of his stance, his momentum quickly stalls out once he meets any resistance, lacking the pass rush moves/counters to easily shed and disrupt the backfield. Overall, Jackson has a desirable nose tackle body type with his arm length, low center and raw power, but his disjointed hand usage and positional instincts are concerns for his next-level transition. He is a candidate to provide depth as a shade in a 4-3 front. GRADE: 6th-7th Round

I liked Boyd more but Jackson is solid. Our war room seems to make way more sense. Some of these other teams have rows and rows of computers....makes no sense.

I think we love Jacob Cowing
