The Residents

Here are the households that I may check in on from time to time, but won’t be playing in rotation.  They are all housed throughout Thicket and many have roles such as stylists or coworkers of my played sims!  For the most part, I don’t do a ton to the majority of my sims except get rid of crazy hair or super crazy outfits.  I kinda like the variety of sims I get and usually let them match themselves up as well.  All of these sims aside from the Fields are pretty much as they spawned.  I did some sculpting to Tamsen Field’s face to make her look more unique and I thinned and buffed Dean really because I thought he was a clone of Randal Stark until I downloaded the cc skins and eyes I use and realized they look nothing alike!

The Baron Family:  Clayton Baron, his fiancé Monica Ernst and their new baby Tyree along with dog Snaggles, who is obviously hungry for hotdogs!

The Betancourt family: Serena and her fiancé Kirby Cho.  I’ll probably check in on them more than some of the others :)

The Cabral family: Dwayne and Betsy with daughter Rebekah and dog Scout.  They own the farm with greenhouse that I posted a picture of.  My intent is that they will sell produce and flowers from their farm or at one of the local commercial lots.

The Cannon family.  Darrel Cannon and his fiancé Tanya Schipano.  They are both stylists in Thicket.

The DeLuca’s: Dereck was a werewolf, but I didn’t want to have a ton of supernatural stuff in this play through.  Shawn, his wife, is the boss of Lynne Beckwith which is the first family up in rotation. Their daughter Mara and dog, Lady.

The Dowling’s: Nicholas and Corinna.  Nicholas is best friends with another townie Dan Waggoner.  Corinna was the first of about 5 Corine, Corina ect spawned by the game so most of them had their names changed, but it fit her so I left it!

The Field’s: Dean and Tamsen are both Drs.

The Gold family: Lyle and Randi with son Clyde and dog Sheba.

The Hastings Family:  Shad is the local detective and Rena works as a desk clerk at the spa.

The Haywood family:  Brendon Haywood is the local architectural designer and just moved in with girlfriend Hilda Winstead.

The Hillards:  Armand (Armie for short) is a chef at the Three Sirens restaurant which he owns and his wife Shelley Huey-Hillard is the highest ranking official at the City Hall.  They have just had their first child, Brett Huey Hillard.

The Holm family: Brennon, who is the brother to Quinton Holm an NPC and his wife Marcie.  They have recently adopted a kitten, Nona.

The Jacques family:  Jamie, Audrey and Donny Jacques.  Jamie is kind of the town loon.

The Pullen’s:  Joel Pullen and Kelly Fuentes-Pullen, newlyweds.  Kelly is the sister of Bryce Fuentes an NPC and they are apparently always getting together because they pop up on my sp all the time as family reunion and sharing the town gossip!

The Runyon family:  Domingo Runyon and another one of the Corinne’s I kept.  Corinne Watt.  I had moved these two single sims in together with the intention they would wind up together, but they’ve been shaking up my planned stories the past couple of days!!

The Sheldon family:  Boy do Cecil and Beverly have their hands full!  She had just given birth to baby Ferra when I finished my world testing and got the rotation set up and surprise!  she had a second baby, Ifran two days into the rotation!  I really need to get the pregnancy tuner set up so my sims aren’t cranking out kiddos every other day!

The Spaulding family:  Joel Spaulding and Shauna Watkins.  Best friends and maybe more along with master hunter Egon the cat.

The Waggoner family: Dan Waggoner (best friend of Nick Dowling) and his fiancé Michelle Torrez.  Dan is also pretty good friends with Vance McKay and Carlos Munoz who are both in the rotation.

The Wells family:  Bryon and Lisa were roommates of Norman Davies before he met Gwen.  As you can see, Lisa is fond of cats :) Mackie is the mother with kittens Dink, Elijah and Mittens

The Westmoreland family: Arthur and Bernice (who can be a little demanding) along with their cat Maggie and roommate Tanika Bateman.  Tanika is the only EA roommate I haven’t deleted as she is the girlfriend of Alexandria Newcomb and will likely play a much larger role in the play through unless sp has other plans :)

Largest placement battles for each and every Major twenty five staff

Largest placement battles for each and every Major twenty five staff

A different soccer year is proper all-around the corner, but the Major twenty five teams however have decisions to make. Even defending champ Clemson has to come to a decision if Kelly Bryant is all set to choose over at QB.

In this article are the essential placement battles for the top teams.

If the Buckeyes system to air it out this year, they will want to settle on the targets quarterback J.T. Barrett can trust. City Meyer stated the receiver efficiency remaining anything to be wanted a yr ago, which sets up a challenge for the likes of Johnnie Dixon, Binjimen Victor, Terry McLaurin and other individuals competing for participating in time. — Dan Murphy

Considerably of the target has been on changing operating again Dalvin Cook dinner, but the Seminoles have a large gap on the offensive line to fill, as well. Left deal with Rod Johnson, voted the ACC’s very best lineman the earlier two seasons, is gone, and as it stands proper now, Josh Ball is the leader to switch him, but that could improve dependent on what happens in follow. Supplied the ups and downs Florida Condition had on the offensive line final year, it is really critical that the Seminoles get this placement squared away speedily. — Andrea Adelson

Bo Scarbrough, Damien Harris and the Alabama backfield are loaded. But what about receiver? Calvin Ridley is as fantastic as it receives, but he wants a sidekick with ArDarius Stewart and O.J. Howard gone. — Alex Scarborough

Is there a QB controversy at Alabama? Can FSU correct its offensive line? Will Clemson endure its brutal opening routine? August is approaching, and even the Major twenty five teams deal with some lingering concerns.

Dabo Swinney operating out to Drake? Aerosmith blaring for Monthly bill Snyder? And the opportunities are unlimited for Jim Harbaugh. It was prompt not too long ago that coaches want entrance new music, so we uncovered the fantastic tune for each and every of the head coaches in the Major twenty five.

Kelly Bryant has a lot of enterprise this summertime. He is making an attempt to stick to Deshaun Watson and get the Clemson QB career, which tends to make him a person of the gamers with the most to confirm on his Major twenty five staff.

The hardest gap to plug defensively will be at defensive deal with, exactly where Stevie Tu’ikolovatu was relied on closely final year. Candidates to switch him consist of Josh Fatu, Malik Dorton, Kenny Bigelow Jr. and accurate freshman Marlon Tuipulotu. In all likelihood, all four gamers will be applied as portion of a rotation. — Kyle Bonagura

Locating a spouse for safety Marcus Allen in the center of the secondary would solidify a fantastic secondary for the Nittany Lions. Ayron Monroe, Troy Apke, Nick Scott and Garrett Taylor are all in the operating for the career. — Murphy

With Ramon Richards sliding over to safety, the Pokes never have a one cornerback who has commenced a sport for them. Clemson grad transfer Adrian Baker should really nail down a person of the open commencing places. But the other will be up for grabs, as Rodarius Williams, Madre Harper and A.J. Green will seem to phase into the void. — Jake Trotter

Dabo Swinney has taken care of all over the winter and spring that Kelly Bryant is in the very best placement to choose over for Deshaun Watson at quarterback. But the level of competition will intensify in the course of slide follow, when Hunter Johnson and Zerrick Cooper make a further force to get the commencing career. Swinney has performed various quarterbacks right before (he did so with Watson and Cole Stoudt in 2014), so never rule that out as a probability in the early heading. — Adelson

With Dede Westbrook gone, the Sooners are making an attempt to discover a new go-to receiver for QB Baker Mayfield. OU has quite a few intriguing solutions, which include senior Jeff Mead, juco transfer Marquise Brown, tight conclude Mark Andrews and Kentucky grad transfer Jeff Badet. All four, amid other individuals, will be making an attempt to confirm to Mayfield this camp that they can be dependable in large moments. — Trotter

The secondary is an evident team to pay attention to, but the Huskies also want to switch move-dashing linebacker Joe Mathis. Connor O’Brien took over that part for the second fifty percent of the year after Mathis was shed to damage, but he skipped the spring due to damage. Benning Potoa’e and Myles Rice are in the combine there. — Bonagura

The fantastic news is that Auburn is loaded on the offensive line. The problem is figuring out how all the pieces will fit. An exciting struggle is brewing in between Darius James and Prince Tega Wanogho at remaining deal with. — Scarborough

Redshirt junior Jacob Maxwell commenced the initial seven online games of the 2016 year at offensive deal with for the Badgers. A shoulder damage finished his yr early and put him in jeopardy of losing his place. He’ll have to struggle redshirt freshman Patrick Kasl, who had a reliable spring follow. — Murphy

With Duke Riley and Kendell Beckwith each gone at within linebacker, there are some critical holes to patch on Dave Aranda’s protection. Donnie Alexander is again, and transformed tailback Devin White is an intriguing solution, but never ignore Jacob Phillips, the No. 3-rated within linebacker in the 2017 class. — Scarborough

The Bulldogs return ten starters on protection but are however looking for a commencing nickelback. The fantastic news is that Georgia has the equipped bodies to fill that placement right before the initial kickoff of the year. Leaving spring, sophomore Tyrique McGhee and freshman DeAngelo Gibbs appeared to lead the way at the placement. Fifth-yr senior Aaron Davis confirmed some flashes there as properly this spring. All 3 enhanced their inventory at the placement this spring, but none of them has significantly encounter there. — Edward Aschoff

The Wolverines graduated two top-notch cover corners who permitted them to be a person of the most intense defenses in the country final year. There is a lot of youthful expertise at the place with David Long and Lavert Hill leading that team. They have yet to lock down a commencing pair. — Murphy

The preseason most loved to get the Coastal Division has just about just about every piece in place to make a run — all except a starter at quarterback. Freshman N’Kosi Perry can take his initial snap for Miami the moment slide follow commences, exactly where he will contend with top challengers Malik Rosier and Evan Shirreffs. Rosier is the only a person who has commenced a sport, but you will find a purpose coach Mark Richt remaining the level of competition open right up until Perry arrived. — Adelson

The Cardinal shed a pair of top-ten picks in Christian McCaffrey and Solomon Thomas but shed only four other gamers who had been outlined as starters headed into the Solar Bowl final year. The final result? This staff is fairly established. It will be exciting to see if incoming freshmen offensive linemen Foster Sarell and Walker Minimal can gain their way into the rotation. — Bonagura

Stacy Thomas returns as a stalwart at linebacker, but there is level of competition at a person of the exterior places. London Iakopo, a transformed safety, is atop the preseason depth chart, but he will be locked in a broad-open level of competition with Malik Staples. It will be exciting to see how the level of competition performs out, especially mainly because Staples spent time as an within linebacker. — Adelson

The Wildcats must switch their overall top team of linebackers. Trent Tanking is a weighty most loved to choose over in the center for All-Big 12 alternative Elijah Lee, but the exterior places seem additional unsure. Complicating issues, K-Condition typically performs just two linebackers, so remaining to battle for fundamentally a person place are junior Sam Sizelove and senior Jayd Kirby, who provide encounter in the K-Condition program and sturdy enjoy on special teams, talented juco transfer Da’Quan Patton and sophomores Justin Hughes and Elijah Sullivan. It may possibly not get sorted out before long. — Mitch Sherman

The biggest issue the Bulls are struggling with in camp is developing depth alongside their entrance seven. In certain, depth at linebacker proceeds to be a bring about for problem. Further than Auggie Sanchez, nobody has commenced a sport. There is a lot of potential, with superior anticipations for gamers these kinds of as Jimmy Bayes and Nico Sawtelle. But building excellent gamers guiding them is an complete priority. — Adelson

Remarkable enjoy at cornerback considerably solidifies the overall protection in coordinator Tony Gibson’s plan. The Mountaineers uncovered it final yr with Rasul Douglas. Who’s next? Potentially Elijah Struggle is all set to choose the torch, but the other place remains an open level of competition. Mike Daniels performed a reserve part final yr. Corey Winfield commenced for two several years at Syracuse right before arriving as a grad transfer. Hakeem Bailey and Fontez Davis incorporate intrigue as newcomers out of junior university. — Sherman

Still again, it is really the quarterback placement. The Gators have not had steady QB enjoy in almost a 10 years, but coach Jim McElwain not too long ago stated that he feels a lot additional self-assured in his quarterback room. Redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks remaining spring atop the depth chart and had a terrific offseason. Nonetheless, he’ll straight away struggle additional mobile and additional knowledgeable Notre Dame grad transfer Malik Zaire, alongside with former starter Luke Del Rio and classmate Kyle Trask. — Aschoff

For the second straight year, Virginia Tech has uncertainty at quarterback. With Jerod Evans gone, the level of competition proceeds amid Josh Jackson, A.J. Bush and Hendon Hooker. Mentor Justin Fuente does not have a timetable to name a starter, though Jackson could have the edge mainly because he has been in the program longer. — Adelson

New coach Tom Herman has been making an attempt to instill a competitive mind-set in his staff all offseason. But his level of competition at quarterback trumps all. Incumbent sophomore Shane Buechele is the mind-boggling most loved to get the career over freshman Sam Ehlinger. But the Longhorns will be in a little bit of a keeping sample right up until Herman officially names Buechele the starter. — Trotter

The Broncos return a very clear No. 1 solution in receiver Cedrick Wilson but have to discover a way to switch the production from final year shed by the departures of Thomas Sperbeck (80 catches) and Chaz Anderson (thirty catches). A.J. Richardson and Sean Modster each start out the yr atop the depth chart, but they put together for just ten catches final year. — Bonagura

The Cougars stated goodbye to two of the very best receivers in college record, Gabe Marks and River Cracraft, and quite a few gamers will be in the combine to assistance make up for the shed production (142 catches in between them final year). Tavares Martin Jr. could develop into an all-convention caliber player, although quite a few other individuals are in line for more substantial roles, which include Dezmon Patmon, Isaiah Johnson-Mack, Kyle Sweet, Robert Lewis and, quite possibly, Renard Bell. — Bonagura

2017 NFL draft LB rankings: Reuben Foster and Haason Reddick are pro ready

Linebacker is becoming an ambiguous position, but there are some standouts this year.

Linebacker is now a position of ambiguity in the NFL. Less and less you see teams playing linebackers in their traditional roles, especially because of how frequently there are only two linebackers on the field. That’s a result of teams bringing in an extra defensive back to stop the pass.

That’s not to say linebacker is a dying position, and there are certainly several standouts in the 2017 NFL draft. Alabama’s Reuben Foster is the best of the bunch because of his athleticism and a skill set that will allow him to stay on the field for three downs. Foster should be able to step into an NFL starting lineup straight away.

The same can be said for Temple’s Haason Reddick, a player who has fully taken advantage of the offseason process to boost his draft stock. Players like Zach Cunningham of Vanderbilt and Florida’s Jarrad Davis also profile as good rookie starters, thanks in large part to their experience and play style.

Small school name to know: Although stats can be deceiving when evaluating a player, it’s hard to overlook what Connor Harris did at Lindenwood, recording 633 tackles and 34 tackles for loss in 48 games. That’s an average of 13 tackles a game. He was able to put those numbers together because he’s smart and knows how to read a play and rarely misses a tackle. At the least, he can come in and play on special teams.

1. Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama

Alabama’s latest laser-guided missile of a linebacker, Foster has every trait you want in a linebacker except size (he’s 6’0, 229 pounds). Foster was the unquestioned leader of an Alabama defense that is stocked with NFL players. He’s at his best when he can play on the weakside inside. There he can use his incredible range to track down the ball and close. His NFL position is either inside in a 3-4 or on the weak side in a 4-3.

Although misdirection can get him on occasion, he’s quick to read a play and has the burst to close. He’s a sound tackler, and there are times when he can come up and pop a ball carrier. Alabama would line Foster up on the edge at times to blitz. His athleticism and speed allows him to stick with running backs on routes, but he does give up space. Bigger NFL tight ends could cause him some problems.

2. Haason Reddick, LB, Temple

When a player can combine hustle with athleticism, you more often than not have a good player. That’s Reddick. He has the athleticism you want in a linebacker, but it’s his grit and determination that puts him over the top as a prospect. His toughness is what you’d expect out of a player who walked on at Temple at 185 pounds. Now he’s a 237-pound star athlete with experience playing the edge and linebacker. The NFL prefers him as a linebacker, but having a good pass rush repertoire is a bonus trait.

Reddick took off as a prospect while participating at the Senior Bowl. There, he showed off his speed and ability to track down a play. Reddick is proficient at getting off blocks, and his hustle shows by how fast he can get back up to speed and get to the ball carrier. He’s a work in progress in coverage so his footwork on drops needs work, but his athleticism should accelerate his development.

3. Zach Cunningham, LB, Vanderbilt

Cunningham is a nice combination of size and athleticism for a linebacker, and he enters the NFL with experience playing inside and outside at Vanderbilt. Cunningham moves around the field with ease and can simply outrun blocks to get a tackle — of which he had 295 in college. Cunningham’s athleticism allows him to keep up with running backs and tight ends on routes, and his size (6’3 with 34-inch arms) is good enough to cover tight ends.

Where Cunningham faults is when he gets held up on blocks. As a pro he’ll need to get stronger and figure out how to disengage quicker. He can also rely too much on his athletic ability and become too aggressive and overrun a play.

4. Jarrad Davis, LB, Florida

There might not be a smarter linebacker on the field in this year’s draft. Davis knows how to read plays before the snap and has good assignment awareness. If a team needs a green dot linebacker, Davis showed he can do it by calling adjustments and audibles. He also happens to be one of the draft’s more vicious hitters and he is never one to avoid contact.

That hard-hitting mentality can get him in trouble at times because slow developing plays counteract his playing style. Davis has experience at multiple linebacker spots, which will help him be a three-down player in the NFL.

5. Ryan Anderson, LB, Alabama

There isn’t a lot of flash and pop to Anderson’s game — he just knows his role in the defense and consistently gets the job done. He started just one season at Alabama, but got on the field in 57 games. Anderson is the sort of player who plays faster than he times (4.74 40-yard dash). Alabama used him on the edge at times, but also put him over the guard standing up. Anderson can maintain his balance through contact and has the strength to get off blocks.

Anderson was an effective pass rusher at Alabama, with 40 tackles for loss and 19.5 sacks in his career, but in the NFL his size and speed may limit his ability there more.

6. Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State

If a team is looking for a rock solid, run-stopping linebacker, McMillan is that player. At just under 6’2 and 240 pounds, McMillan is a classic middle linebacker who can come up and stuff the run. When McMillan squares up his shoulders and drives through the ball carrier, he never misses on a tackle. He plays with good instincts, and when he’s in zone coverage he knows how to read the quarterback’s eyes to make a break on the play.

He can sometimes get too focused on the ball carrier and get picked off on a block. As a pro, McMillan will probably never put up big sack numbers.

7. Jayon Brown, LB, UCLA

When Myles Jack got hurt at UCLA in 2015, it was Brown who stepped in and he did his job well. Basically starting for two years for the Bruins, Brown had 224 tackles and nine tackles for loss in college. He plays with a lot of speed and can quickly read a play. He should grow into an asset as a coverage linebacker because of his fluidity and smarts. As a senior he had nine passes defended and three interceptions.

Brown isn’t the type of linebacker who will avoid blockers, but maybe he should be. He can get pushed around by blockers and either needs to learn new shed technique or get stronger. He could help immediately on special teams.

8. Jalen Reeves-Maybin, OLB, Tennessee

The biggest thing holding Reeves-Maybin back is his health. He’s had multiple shoulder surgeries, and the last one caused him to miss all but four games as a senior. It kept him out of the Senior Bowl and the NFL Scouting Combine. When he’s healthy — as he was as a sophomore and junior when he had 205 tackles and eight tackles for loss — he plays like a prototypical weakside linebacker who can chase the ball down. He has good athleticism and range and has the skills to come up and tackle or drop back in coverage.

Best of the rest:

9. Alex Anzalone, LB, Florida

10. Kendell Beckwith, MLB, LSU

11. Blair Brown, LB, Ohio

12. Duke Riley, OLB, LSU

13. Anthony Walker, MLB, Northwestern

14. Ben Gedeon, LB, Michigan

15. Jordan Evans, LB, Oklahoma

16. Harvey Langi, LB, BYU

17. Ben Boulware, LB, Clemson

18. Elijah Lee, LB, Kansas State

19. Connor Harris, LB, Lindenwood

20. Marquel Lee, LB, Wake Forest

Shutdown Corner 2017 NFL draft rankings: Players Nos. 51-100

The NFL scouting combine is in the rearview mirror, and teams are starting to firm up their draft boards. Sure, there will be adjustments to their rankings, but for the most part opinions are starting to solidify on the best players in the 2017 NFL draft and how they stack up.

Here’s our list of the players that just missed our Top 50 list — the lplayers on which we will roll out, one per day, as we close in on the seven-week mark from the draft. It was comprised based on our own film study, conversations with NFL and college teams’ staffs, and crosschecked against independent (non-media) scouting lists and evaluations.

A quick teaser: Players such as Oklahoma’s Joe Mixon, Wisconsin’s T.J. Watt, Connecticut’s Obi Melifonwu, Ohio State’s Curtis Samuel and some others who don’t appear here were good enough to crack our Top 50.

Note: This list is subject to change based on pro day results, changes in medical evaluation and any new information we gather over the coming weeks.

51. Washington CB Kevin King — Long, gifted athlete who has improved stock as much as anyone past few months, but tackling issues are legit worry. 52. North Carolina State S Josh Jones — Well-built, surprisingly athletic Mike Mitchell clone could sneak into back end of Round 1. 53. South Alabama TE Gerald Everett — Tiny hands, but he has good athletic traits, willingness to block and potential to improve. 54. Colorado CB Chidobe Awuzie — Versatile, experienced corner who could end up a No. 2 or a nickel. Good slot blitzer, too. Should go off the board early Day 2. 55. Texas A&M S Justin Evans — Some years, he might be a top-40 pick. Big hitter who can make acrobatic plays but also can be inconsistent and overaggressive. 56. East Carolina WR Zay Jones — High-volume, high-character receiver with quickness, good hands. Could end up in top 50. 57. Utah S Marcus Williams — Super athletic, playmaking safety who is best playing a center field position. 58. USC WR JuJu Smith-Schuster — Emotions cripple him at times, but he’s a physical, confident, speed-deficient split end with Hakeem Nicks-like game.

USC WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is a physical receiver. (AP)

59. Kansas State DE Jordan Willis — Big combine performance answered questions about his lateral quickness. Has a winner’s makeup. 60. Ohio State LB Raekwon McMillan — Instinctive player who flashes but also might not be a tone-setting “Mike” in the NFL. 61. Cal QB Davis Webb — Highly confident, short-area passer with big frame who could be drafted higher (Round 1?) than many realize. 62. Michigan DL Chris Wormley — Chances are we’ll look back in five years and this will be too low. Strong, hard-working and pretty productive. 63. Florida CB Teez Tabor — Tape looks very good at times, but athletic limitations, character concerns and big persona make him a bit of a concern. 64. Ohio State OG-C Pat Elflein — Lumbering grinder who could anchor a power-run team at either position. Could be tone setter for young team. 65. Florida S Marcus Maye — In a talented Gators secondary, he occasionally looked like its best and most versatile member. 66. Eastern Washington WR Cooper Kupp — Extremely reliable and driven short-area slot receiver with limited long speed and upside. 67. Penn State WR Chris Godwin — Stock on fire since big Rose Bowl. Fluid, well-built athlete with athleticism but suffers from concentration lapses. 68. Temple OG Dion Dawkins — Likely fits inside in the pros after starting predominantly at tackle. Quietly solid performer. 69. Colorado S Tedric Thompson — Experienced, instinctive playmaker who got a bit lost in talented Buffaloes secondary. 70. LSU C Ethan Pocic — Smart, jack of all trades who might work best in zone-based scheme. Not clear if college position of center will be his NFL home at 6-foot-6. 71. Auburn DE Carl Lawson — We’re still believers in this violent, talented end, but NFL teams have cooled on him just a bit. 72. Texas A&M DE Daeshon Hall — Overshadowed opposite Myles Garrett, Hall has intriguing athletic traits and pass-rushing upside. 73. Virginia Tech TE Bucky Hodges — Few pass catchers have his rare gifts. Few frustrate more with hands, route running and blocking effort. 74. UCLA CB Fabian Moreau — Explosive athlete’s stock was on rise prior to torn pectoral during bench press. Could fall into Round 3 range after looking like top-50 pick at one point. 75. Alabama WR ArDarius Stewart — Another playmaker lost in the loaded Bama shuffle, Stewart is tough and smart and could develop into an NFL No. 2 option. 76. Villanova DT-DE Tanoh Kpassagnon — Physique of a Greek god, but still occasionally looks like he has no clue. Has some low second-round grades. 77. Ashland TE Adam Shaheen — Small-school wonder with rare size, decent movement skills. Fascinating developmental project. 78. Auburn DT Montravius Adams — Could be drafted higher in thin DT draft but strong talent always seems to leave you wanting more. 79. Cal WR Chad Hansen — Underrated playing speed, good hands give him chance to be an eventual No. 2 option. 80. Houston pass rusher Tyus Bowser — Active, athletic, ascending converted hoopster but some rawness to his game. Possible second-round pick. 81. Texas RB D’Onta Foreman — Big, smooth, fast runner who could have LeGarrette Blount-like impact on the right team. 82. Nevada WR Carlos Henderson — Make-you-miss receiver but a one-year breakout player who needs route-running refinement. 83. Clemson CB Cordrea Tankersley — Height-weight-speed prospect who gets overdrafted. Handsy cover man with inconsistent tape. 84. Oklahoma RB Samaje Perine — Unlike teammate Joe Mixon, Perine’s character is considered impeccable, and he could turn into a powerful change-of-pace runner. 85. West Virginia CB Rasul Douglas — If you are a zone team, such as Seattle, this is your type. Eight INTs last season raised stock. 86. Troy OT-OG Antonio Garcia — Lean tackle whose bulk eliminates him from some systems. Very experienced and solid. 87. Alabama DT Dalvin Tomlinson — Rare intelligence and gap-clogging ability will appeal to many teams. Limited upside but useful, mature player. 88. Boston College DB John Johnson — Versatile safety (or perhaps corner) who could be a standout gunner on special teams Day 1. 89. Michigan TE Jake Butt — Has chance to be solid contributor in the Jack Doyle mold but injury history suddenly concerning.

90. Western Kentucky WR Taywan Taylor — This year’s Stefon Diggs? Great short-area quickness, yards-after-catch potential. 91. Western Michigan OG-OT Taylor Moton — Nice Senior Bowl week raised profile. Has power and seemed to fit better inside. 92. Clemson TE Jordan Leggett — Big, impressive frame with soft hands but needs to play with a little more grit. 93. Tennessee CB Cameron Sutton — Small-framed, quick-foot corner who might be destined for nickel duty. Strong work ethic, punt-return ability. 94. Florida State DE Demarcus Walker — We overrated him during the season because of production. Likely more of a 5-to-7 sack NFL player than a double-digit one. 95. Youngstown State DE Derek Rivers — Athletic, productive rusher who isn’t as consistent, snap to snap, as scouts would like. But fascinating potential. 96. Pitt QB Nathan Peterman — Pro-style, downfield touch passer who will force passes now and then. He has starter potential but limited upside. 97. Oklahoma WR Dede Westbrook — Electric playmaker, but seriously undersized. NFL teams more spooked on his character after deeper investigation.

98. Central Florida CB Shaquill Griffin— Impressive combine performance, good ball production has raised stock of this versatile, businesslike performer. 99. Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs— Extremely smart, mature developmental project who has good athleticism and intangibles but needs work as a passer. 100. Florida Atlantic DE Trey Hendrickson — Short arms, but high-energy, do-it-all player cut from Rob Ninkovich cloth. Underrated athlete. Just missed the cut: North Carolina-Charlotte DT Larry Ogunjobi, Florida State OT Roderick Johnson, Michigan WR Amara Darboh, South Florida RB Marlon Mack, Miami (Fla.) QB Brad Kaaya, Houston CB Howard Wilson, Florida LB Alex Anzalone, Illinois pass rusher Dawuane Smoot, Colorado CB Ahkello Witherspoon, Northwestern LB Anthony Walker, Clemson DT Carlos Watkins, Pitt OG Dorian Johnson, Wisconsin LB Vince Biegel, Ohio pass rusher Tarell Basham, Iowa DT Jaleel Johnson, LSU LB Kendell Beckwith, Washington DT Elijah Qualls
