#150 WR Kyle Phillips, UCLA

The future of Calvin Ridley is questionable and it wouldn’t be ideal to draft a pass catcher this late but regardless of what takes place this off-season drafting one is highly likely. Phillips is 5’11, 191, and will translate to the next level mainly as a slot pass catcher as a good deep ball pass catcher, and shifty route runner. Phillips is an asset on special teams and will likely be a mainstay on that side of the ball early on.

#188 LB JoJo Domann, Nebraska

Domann is 6’1 and 230 but possesses the athleticism to play slot corner with great coverage skills. Domann is a hybrid that will likely be taken before the sixth round as he can be an asset if used properly but the biggest knock on him is that he is not a traditional LB ass he needs to add some strength but this is a player I’d love to have on my roster.

#211 DL Scott Patchan, Colorado State

Much like the Kyle Phillips pick it’s not exactly ideal to address a need late in this draft but there is value everywhere and Patchan could be an asset. Patchan doesn’t exactly fit the 3-4 but with some added strength he could certainly be plugged in as a rotational defensive end as a high motor run stopper. Patchan needs work as a pass rusher but is a project player id take a gamble on.

Next. This should be Atlanta's top free agency target. dark
