Round 6
Chris Ransom follow @DraftUtopia Last Updated: April 27, 2017 with updates every Thursday leading up to Draft Day.
Cleveland Browns: Grover Stewart, DT, Albany State 
- Grover Stewart out of Albany State has incredible tape. He's someone the Browns could consider in the sixth round for depth.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Baltimore Ravens: Kendall Beckwith, 3-4 MLB, LSU 
- The Ravens get someone to challenge Correa for the 3-4 middle linebacker job. Kendall Beckwith is basically highway robbery at this point in the sixth round.
- Other Baltimore Ravens Selections
Jacksonville Jaguars: Roderick Johnson, LT, Florida State 
- Roderick Johnson gives the Jaguars a left tackle for depth and someone they can groom behind Branden Albert who always gets injured. This is fantastic value for the Jaguars in the fourth round.
- Other Jacksonville Jaguars Selections
-
Cleveland Browns: David Sharpe, RT, Florida
- Cleveland has Spencer Drango and Shon Coleman competing for the starting right tackle job. David Sharpe is my top ranked right tackle at this point.
- Other Cleveland Browns Selections
Los Angeles Rams: Zach Banner, RT, USC 
- I do not trust Greg Robinson at right tackle. The Rams need to draft a right tackle at some point to develop that can be groomed to replace Robinson. Zach Banner is a steal at this point in the sixth round.
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
Los Angeles Chargers: Avery Moss, RE, Youngstown State 
- The Los Angeles Chargers get a defensive end for depth here. I have a fourth round grade on Youngstown State sack artist Avery Moss so the Chargers draft him in the sixth round.
- Other Los Angeles Chargers Selections
New York Jets: Davon Godchaux, 3-4 RE, LSU
- The Jets draft a defensive end for depth. Davon Godchaux can play 3-4 right end, nose tackle, and 3-4 left end in a 3-4 scheme with his versatility, but he's kind of pudgy which is why he fell to the sixth round even though I do have a fourth round grade on him.
- Other New York Jets Selections
Carolina Panthers: Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M 
- Josh Reynolds is the top overall player on my draft board. Basically Carolina can draft him for depth here.
- Other Carolina Panthers Selections
Cincinnati Bengals: Matt Dayes, RB, North Carolina State 
- Cincinnati drafts a running back for depth. Matt Dayes is an absolute steal in the sixth round. You could argue Dayes is highway robbery at this point. The 5-8 207 lb Matt Dayes had 249 carries, 1,860 rushing yards, 10 rushing touchdowns, 23 receptions, and 367 receiving yards in 2016.
- Matt Dayes has tremendous speed and ball carrier vision. Dayes is hands down the best blocker in the entire 2017 NFL Draft. North Carolina State's running back has tremendous pass protection and can give a quarterback more time in the pocket. Dayes also has the ability to catch passes out of the backfield.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
Philadelphia Eagles: Elijah Qualls, DT, Washington 
- Philadelphia drafts a defensive tackle. Elijah Qualls got by USC left tackle Chad Wheeler and left guard Damien Mama on a double team plus both Trojans are NFL prospects. I can see John Lynch taking Qualls this late because he plays like Warren Sapp at times.
- Other Philadelphia Eagles Selections
Buffalo Bills: Artivis Scott, WR, Clemson 
- The Bills need a receiver for depth. Artivis Scott is someone that could fill in for depth on the Buffalo Bills.
- Other Buffalo Bills Selections
New Orleans Saints: Chase Allen, MLB, Southern Illinois 
- New Orleans gets a middle linebacker for depth. Chase Allen is a steal at this point.
- Other New Orleans Saints Selections
Arizona Cardinals: Mason Schreck, TE, Buffalo 
- Arizona gets another tight end for depth. Mason Schreck is the best player available.
- Other Arizona Cardinals Selections
San Francisco 49ers: Karter Schult, RE, Northern Iowa 
- The 49ers go with a 4-3 right end here. Karter Schult is a guy I have a fourth round grade on and obviously he is a steal in the sixth round as a depth player behind Aaron Lynch.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Minnesota Vikings: Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee 
- I doubt Teddy Bridgewater will play in 2017. I have a hard time believing that Sam Bradford can play an entire season again without getting injured so the Vikings draft a quarterback at 199.
- Other Minnesota Vikings Selections
New England Patriots: Howard Wilson, CB, Houston 
- Howard Wilson is a steal at this point in the sixth round. This is a guy the Patriots can seriously consider drafting here.
- Other New England Patriots Selections
Washington Redskins: Freddie Stevenson, FB, Florida State
- Washington can draft the top player on their board. Freddie Stevenson is a steal at this point.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
-
San Francisco 49ers: Lorenzo James, SS, Saint Francis
- The 49ers draft a developmental safety here. Lorenzo Jerome may be a good scheme fit at this point.
- Other San Francisco 49ers Selections
Denver Broncos: Robert Davis, WR, Georgia State 
- The 6-3 219 lb Robert Davis had 67 receptions, 968 receiving yards, and 5 receiving touchdowns in 2016. Davis absolutely crushed the 2017 NFL Combine after running a 4.44 40-time, having 10-inch hands, and doing 19 reps on the bench press before acing the gauntlet drill. Davis dropped 4 passes on tape versus Charlotte in 2015 and only knows streaks and screen pass routes which makes him a project, but he has potential to be coached into a reliable target in Denver.
- Other Denver Broncos Selections
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Matt Milano, LOLB, Boston College 
- Tampa Bay goes with another left outside linebacker here for their 4-3 defense for depth. Matt Milano is the top player on the board.
- Other Tampa Bay Buccaneers Selections
Detroit Lions: Channing Stribling, CB, Michigan 
- The Lions take a hometown corner. Channing Stribling is still on the board.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
-
Los Angeles Rams: Lee Crosby, SS, New Mexico
- The Rams addressed all of their needs. They can draft Lee Crosby for depth here.
- Other Los Angeles Rams Selections
New York Giants: Tedric Thompson, FS, Colorado 
- New York adds another safety for depth here. Tedric Thompson is my top prospect in the sixth round.
- Other New York Giants Selections
Oakland Raiders: Treston Decoud, CB, Oregon State 
- The Raiders get a cornerback for depth. Treston Decoud could be a late round pick after struggling at Oregon State's Pro Day.
- Other Oakland Raiders Selections
-
Washington Redskins: Roman Buchanan, SS, South Alabama
- Roman Buchanan has the ability to play linebacker or safety with his versatility. Basically Washington can draft him for depth here.
- Other Washington Redskins Selections
Seattle Seahawks: Chase Roullier, LG, Wyoming 
- Seattle will need a left guard for depth here. Chase Roullier played left guard at Wyoming, but may convert to center in the NFL. Most of the left guards at this point are backups, but Roullier has a chance to be something special for Seattle here.
- Other Seattle Seahawks Selections
Dallas Cowboys: Kenny Golladay, WR, Northern Illinois 
- Dallas gets another receiver for depth here. Kenny Golladay is a 6-4 218 lb beast at wide receiver.
- Other Dallas Cowboys Selections
Green Bay Packers: Ben Gedeon, 3-4 MLB, Michigan
- The Packers add a middle linebacker for depth. Ben Gedeon is a bargain at this point.
- Other Green Bay Packers Selections
Pittsburgh Steelers: Jerod Evans, QB, Virginia Tech 
- The 6-4 235 lbs Jerod Evans had 3,552 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, 846 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, 4,398 total yards, 41 total touchdowns, a 63.5 completion percentage, and 8 interceptions. Evans had the statistics you look for in a starting quarterback. Pittsburgh can take a flyer on Evans at quarterback.
- Other Pittsburgh Steelers Selections
Tennessee Titans: Ricky Seals-Jones, WR, Texas A&M
- Tennessee gets another receiver. Ricky Seals-Jones makes sense here with his freakish size at 6-6 235 lbs.
- Other Tennessee Titans Selections
-
Detroit Lions: Jehu Chesson, WR, Michigan
- Detroit takes the top Wolverine here. I have a sixth round grade on Jehu Chesson.
- Other Detroit Lions Selections
Kansas City Chiefs: Jeremy Clark, CB, Michigan
- Kansas City gets the 216th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Arizona Cardinals signed cornerback Tyvon Branch in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Branch became a Free Agent in 2016.
- The Chiefs interviewed Jeremy Clark at the 2017 NFL Combine. I'm giving the Chiefs Clark here.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
-
Cincinnati Bengals: Speedy Noil, WR, Texas A&M
- Cincinnati gets the 217th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Oakland Raiders signed free safety Reggie Nelson in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Nelson became a Free Agent in 2016.
- The Bengals get wide receiver depth. Speedy Noil is an excellent value pick here.
- Other Cincinnati Bengals Selections
-
Kansas City Chiefs: Kevin Davis, 3-4 MLB, Colorado State
- Kansas City gets the 218th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft as a compensation pick. They get this pick because the Denver Broncos signed right tackle Donald Stephenson in the 2016 NFL Free Agency Period after Stephenson became a Free Agent in 2016.
- Kevin Davis is the best 3-4 middle linebaker on the board. He makes a lot of sense here.
- Other Kansas City Chiefs Selections
