32. Jachai Polite | EDGE | Florida
Why: Value and Need. The Pats have holes at DT, DE, WR, and TE. We attempted to trade up in the draft. We felt there was 3 DT, 1 WR, and 1 TE with 1st round grade after the 20th pick that filled our 3 top needs. After failing to acquire a higher pick to acquire one of these 5 we believed the players still available that would fill one of our 3 top needs did not have 1st round grade. That is why we attempted to trade down.
Polite fills one of our 4 needs and is a potential starter at DE for us. DE was our 4th ranked position of need. Polite fell in the draft because of a poor showing at the combine and maturity. We believe in the Patriots system this will not be an issue.
Overview
Instinctive rusher with natural feel for attacking the pocket and the explosive athletic ability to finish the job. Polite's frightening speed to the edge is the foundation for his pass-rush success, but it's the potential diversity and fluidity of his attack that makes him such a compelling prospect. He has been heavier in his career and might need to add good weight in order to remove himself from the DPR (designated pass rusher) list and into a full-time role as a 3-4 outside backer. Scouts say beware of his floor, but his electrifying rush potential could be hard to pass up in today's pass-happy league.

With the 33rd pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Arizona Cardinals select...
N'Keal Harry - WR Arizona State
Scoping N'Keal Harry's combine stats was like breathing a sigh of relief. He hit the marks you want to see, running a 4.53 forty to showcase a great size/speed score and solid burst.
To me, Harry is the safest wide receiver in this draft class, and he's also my favorite. He won't blow you away with his athleticism, but he's got great hands, is a solid route-runner, and is fantastic in jump ball situations. He's also a fiery competitor, exactly the type of player I want to introduce into the Arizona locker room.
But enough talk, let's see some highlights!
I watch those catches and you know what I think? This. Guy. Fucks.
But enough with the highlight porn. What about the numbers?
Harry posted back to back 1000 yard seasons at Arizona State, posting a fantastic college dominator rating of 43.9% and an equally impressive 95th percentile breakout age. And who better to mentor the Arizona State product in the NFL than Cardinals great Larry Fitzgerald?
Adding Harry continues this year's goal of surrounding first overall pick Kyler Murray with talent on the offensive end. He'll now walk into the season with David Johnson, Fitzgerald, Harry, last year's second round pick Christian Kirk, and Royce Freeman.
Harry has the upside to become a Hopkins or an Allen, all while having a reasonably safe floor as a sure-handed possession receiver.
Full disclosure...I thought this dude's name was K'Neal Harry until listening to a draft podcast about a week ago. And I think we can all agree that K'Neal Harry is superior.
@daddywags and the Colts are up next.

With the 34th pick in the 2019 RCF mock draft the Indianapolis Colts select Parris Campbell, WR, the Ohio State University.
Probably a bit of an overdraft this high, but he's a second round talent IMO. 5' 11.7" 205 lbs, 4.31 40, 4.03 short shuttle, top Sparq WR in 2019. Not an every down player but a fantastic swiss army knife who can get six in the blink of an eye if he gets a crease. High character player.
Looking at the Colts, I see a very dangerous team next season with very few holes. They have TY as their bell cow WR and added Funchess in free agency but they can always use another dynamic offensive weapon. Campbell fits the direction NFL offenses are going and gives the Colts a dimension they didn't have.

@bigfoot5415 is on a plane, here is his pick:
With the 35th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select Taylor Rapp, S, Washington
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QrWBhFuR9w

Rapp's family has Chinese ancestry, but he is a dual citizen between the United States and Canada. He promised his brother, Austin, that he would play major college football -- a promise that has been fulfilled. He was an All-Washington pick from Bellingham that earned top 25 safety recruit grades from scouting services. Rapp broke his left hand in spring practices his freshman year, but played with a cast. That toughness impressed on coaches his willingness to fight through adversity, and he eventually won a starting role on defense in 10 of 14 games played in 2016 (53 tackles, four interceptions, two pass breakups). Rapp was the Pac-12 Championship Defensive MVP after intercepting two passes in the contest, returning one for a score. He also was named the Pac-12 Freshman Defensive Player of the Year and a Freshman All-American for his efforts throughout the season. He started 12 of 13 games played as a sophomore, garnering first-team All-Pac-12 honors (in academics as well as on the field) and posting 59 stops, 3.5 for loss, two sacks, and an interception. Multiple All-American honors came his way in 2018, as did another first-team all-conference nod after he made plays around the line of scrimmage (59 tackles, six for loss, five sacks) and in coverage (two interceptions, five pass breakups while also finding himself around the ball (three fumble recoveries).

Strengths
- Good size with compact frame and well-built chest
- Mister Fix-It asked to play all over the field for the defense
- Football intelligence considered top notch
- Despite compact frame, moves well
- Able to handle man cover duties on tight ends
- Impressive talent to diagnose and flow as box safety
- Recognizes run lane development like a running back
- Takes accurate pursuit angles
- Hip sink and footwork are catalysts for open-field tackling
- Always comes to balance and widens out to tackle
- Loves to thump
- Gifted kickoff cover man
- Hands out punishment but absorbs his share as well
- Can trigger a little earlier in run support from two-high
- Average lateral burst as open-field tackler
- Might be out-paced by NFL runners in his race to the edge
- Ability to range over the top appears to be just average
- Ball production has dropped since freshman season
- Routes to the throw can be fairly conservative
- Might have left some interceptions and breakups on the field

With the 36th pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select:
Nasir Adderley
Safety, Delaware
5'11 3/4
205
40 dash: 4.54
Rapp is the best strong safety prospect in this draft, but Adderely is arguably the best free safety prospect in this draft. He spent two seasons as a cornerback, then moved to safety because he was rarely challenged in man coverage. As a safety, he became a well-polished and nationally regarded prospect with excellent anticipation, angles, ball skills as well as aggressive tackling. He had 31 college passes defensed and 10 interceptions.
He answered three questions: Can he hang with better quality players, is he big enough, and is he fast enough.
In the Senior Bowl, he shined as a prospect covering the slot, playing deep center field in coverage, and in the box. He also weighted in over 200 pounds. All that remained was speed, and on his Pro Day he unfortunately ran one 4.54 before feeling a tweak in his hamstring, unable to try to cut the time down. No matter, he is in the discussion for best safety in this class as long as he acclimates to the play quality of the NFL.
Thems be some filthy pickoffs.
Why Adderley on the Niners?
The Niners have a disasterous turnover problem. Among the things I liked last year was the play of Fred Warner at linebacker. His play in pass coverage was consistent and his play against the run was good enough. Adding Kwon Alexander puts them in a great spot for nickel packages. Defensive backs are an issue on this team, but not as bad as some believe. At corner they have Richard Sherman, who provides leadership and still doesn't get challenged much in coverage. His backup is Tarvarius Moore, a converted free safety with similar measurables to Sherm. The other side has Ahkello Witherspoon, entering his third year is the Ogbah of cornerbacks: decent but not a convincing starter. I've identified free safety Adrian Colbert as the weakest link. He was surprisingly solid as a rookie despite making the team as a reserve and a gunner. Last season Colbert regressed badly. It's time for someone who can create turnovers.

With the 37th pick in the 2019 NFL RCF Mock Draft... the New York Giants select...
Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Overview
Body-beautiful cornerback with good size and potential, but just one year of FBS football experience. Ya-Sin needs technique work across the board, but the ability to handle the duties of the position are all in place and waiting to be unlocked. He has the strength, toughness and feet to go from shadowing presence to a more disruptive one as a press-man corner. His lack of technique allows for some pitch-and-catch moments in coverage, but he has moldable traits to become a future starter with more experience and coaching.
Strengths
"Once he adds some coaching and technique to his physical tools, he's got a chance to take a big leap. We love guys that look like him. That's what you want your GM to draft." -- Secondary coach with AFC team

- Decent closing burst to attack throws
- Plays into catch-point with aggressive hands
- Has ability to stick and drive from bail coverage
- Willing in run support
- Impressive upside with more technique work
- Not as disruptive from press as he could be
- Needs more technique work
- Turned around due to early hip declarations from press
- Struggles to maintain proper leverage
- False steps at top of his drop

- Inconsistent to stay in phase against verticals
- Tendency to grab and face-guard rather than turn and locate
- Average field awareness
- Requires additional tackling technique

With the 38th pick, the Kansas City Chiefs select:
Amani Oruwariye | CB | Penn State
Why?
The Chiefs secondary is under complete reconstruction, but the future looks bright after signing Tyrann Mathieu in free agency, and drafting Deionte Thompson in the 1st round.
That said, the cornerbacks room is still a work in progress. After losing Steven Nelson to Pittsburgh in free agency, we currently have Kendall Fuller and Bashaud Breeland holding it down on the outside. While both players are serviceable, they are in the last year of their respective deals and probably not in our long-term plans. Shhh, don't tell nobody.
Fortunately, we're very high on our 2nd year CB Charvarius Ward, and view him and Oruwariye as the future mainstays of the Kansas City secondary.
Oruwariye is a prototypical cornerback, measuring in at 6'2", 205 pounds, and while having a size advantage over most of the corners in this class, he also ran a faster 40-time than 1st rounders Byron Murphy and DeAndre Baker, clocking a 4.47 at last month's combine.
He's an incredibly versatile player, and we believe he can turn into our number one X-cornerback down the road.
Good luck saying his last name though. I tried it... and it made my dog spring to attention. You're kind of forced to pronounce it like Scooby Doo. My dog thought I was trying to tell her something super important.
About the trade up:
The time is now in Kansas City. We plan on our 1st round draft pick being at 32 next year, so hopefully it won't be an overpay. The more I thought about it, I realized I wasn't getting my starting cornerback if I sat back and waited.
@Soda and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the clock.
