Welcome back to the fantasy pros football podcast. My name is Derek Brown and on today's show we are going to go through the 10 best picks the NFL draft starting at number 10. Let's not waste any time here people.

0:13.0

Number 10, AT Perry, wide receiver out of Wake Forest, selected in the sixth round, pick 195, going to New Orleans, say,

0:22.0

this is an underrated spot here for AT Perry was a fantastic value, versatile wide receiver, he can excel versus man and zone coverage last year, finished with 75 or higher,

0:35.0

PFF receiving grades and at least 2.56 yards per out run against both man and zone coverage with Rashid Shaheed is an unrestricted free agent after this season, Michael Thomas's health is always a question if Shaheed can't handle the volume, Michael Thomas is injured, you got AT Perry could be the number two in this offense right behind Chris Alave.

0:58.0

Number 9, O'Syrance Torrance guard out of Florida, round two pick in the NFL draft, this is a guy that was pegged by a lot of people to possibly be a first round pick heads to the Buffalo bills the 59th overall pick, this guy is a mall or in the run game and should also allow Josh having to get clean pockets for days, fourth and PFF run blocking grade didn't allow a quarterback hit or a sack, fantastic value pick by the Buffalo bills.

1:26.0

Number 8, Michael mayor, he was talked about as being a first round lock pick possibly going to go in the top 20 to 25 picks, he slips to the second round and the Raiders did not let him slip for at the 35th overall pick, you have Michael mayor who should hit the ground running all he's got to compete for for snaps and routes is Austin Hooper and Michael mayor was first in PFF yards per out run second in PFF receiving grade last year, Michael mayor could smash in his record.

1:56.0

And he's got a good looking season as one of the best value picks of this draft cycle.

2:01.0

Number 7, Brian branch branch again, we're talking about a first round talent, a guy that was continually mocked with inside the top 25 top 30 players in the NFL possibly going to go in this draft, he slipped all the way to the 45th pick second round of the Detroit Lions, he is going to upgrade their back in their secondary their past coverage, he was 18th in coverage grade last year.

2:25.0

He could also play the nickel, a lot of places might list him as a nickel corner and not a safety last year, he allowed a 71.5 pass rating and slot coverage and this was the second most slot cover snaps amongst all collegiate safeties, he is a fantastic value.

2:45.0

Number 6, Derrius Rush, Derrius Rush fell all the way to the fifth round, which is crazy because this is a guy who was continually his expected draft position was anywhere as high as in the 80s or 70s in numerous months, the Indianapolis Colts hit this one out of the park for a guy that was 35th in man coverage grade last year, the cold secondary walking into this draft looked rough but walking away of it smelling like roses.

3:14.0

Alright, number five, Corey trice and again, yes, we're going deep here people seven throwing pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers his expected draft position, he was looking at a guy that was expected to be a top 100 player slipped all the way to the 241st pick guys a monster trice a six foot three 206 he allowed a 47.7% catch rate last year, 44th lowest pass or reading and coverage trice was a fantastic ad and look still curtains,

4:25.9

but I'm going to make a comeback, he should be part of it.

4:29.2

Number four Christian goods, Alice corner back out of Oregon was rumored to be a top 10 pick in the NFL draft, tumbled all the way down the first round board to the 17th pick the New England Patriots, he was 20th and coverage grade last year, 74.7, pass or rating allowed 25th and zone coverage grade, Christian,

4:49.9

and the first round was supposed to be a day one starter and yes, I'm talking about a first round pick being a value, he should not have slipped outside of the top 10.

4:58.9

Number three, we're talking about players slipping in the first round that I have to discuss one of the reasons with the Eagles knocked their draft class out of the park, baby, and that's no one Smith edge out of Georgia was selected 30th pick in the first round almost fell out of the first round.

5:15.9

And then we're talking about some of the top 10 pick in the NFL draft didn't happen, but guess what, how he roseman is going to do how he roseman things smash this pick, Nolman Smith was 8th and pass rush win rate last year, he is going to be a different maker in Philadelphia.

5:33.9

And then we're talking about the two at a time away at a bar a this talented monster out of northwestern fell all the way to the fourth round and again we're talking about smart teams doing smart things and in Apple as cold said, uh, uh, that full stops now baby his expected draft position was sitting somewhere on the 40s 45th overall.

5:56.9

And then fantastic pick by Chris Ballard he is an athletic monster 9.72 rascore 99th percentile vertical and broad jumps at a bar a should be a difference maker on their defense possibly starting as soon as 2023.

6:14.9

And then we're talking about the bottom line on the board again we're heading back to Philly people you're near noticing a consistent trend here certain teams crushed the NFL draft Philadelphia Eagles were one of them.

6:26.9

Number one guy here who until of all the field stuff was rumored as possibly the top overall pick in the NFL draft that's Jalen Carter defensive tackle out of Georgia slipped to the ninth pick and the Eagles said we are going to stop the slide now you are not falling outside the top 10 players.
