191st pick-Derrell Johnson-East Carolina- Johnson is a throwback thumper. Big physical linebacker who hits so hard it looks like he want’s to bruise your soul. Plays with intensity, and is an emotional leader on the field. Definitely the kind of player you’d want on your side. Not just a try hard intense thumper. He’s a play-maker.  Had 80 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and eight sacks with three batted passes, an interception and a forced fumble in his senior season.

Alternate pick-Devon Kennard-USC- Kennard has ideal size and looks like a Leo back or a SAM. He can get after the quarterback as a blitzer and led USC in sacks. Patrolled around in a number of ways in the Trojans hybrid scheme, and his versatility is intriguing. Has good football character traits, and a high football IQ. Not considered an ideal athlete which is why he drops so far down. Could be a great value pick.
