NFL Draft Preview: Picks 21-32

Now we get to the back end of the first round. Much like picks 11-20, there are names people don't know but don't be fooled by anything, there is still plenty of talent. There will be some names that aren't announced in the early portion of the first round that will go later. Some of those players could be viewed as a steal because of their high rankings. The final two picks are yet to be determined until we crown a Super Bowl Champion. 

        21. Bengals- Marcus Peters, CB, Washington

        22. Steelers- Cody Prewitt, FS, Ole Miss

        23. Lions- Eddie Goldman, DT, FSU (whether Ndamukong Suh is re-signed or not)

        24. Cardinals- Malcom Brown, DT, Texas

        25. Panthers- Cameron Erving, OT, Florida State 

        26. Ravens- Ty Sambailo, OT, Colorado State

        27. Cowboys- Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota 

        28. Broncos- Arik Armstead, DE, Oregon

        29. Colts- Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA

        30. Packers- Devin Funchess, WR/TE, Michigan

        31. Patriots- Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia 

        32. Seahawks- Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami (FL)

You will definitely find some of those "hidden gems" late in the first round. There are a couple names to keep an eye on as it goes on. 

• Devin Funchess- This is an interesting prospect. Funchess played his career at Michigan mainly as a tight end but played some receiver. At 6'5" 230 pounds he has the frame of an NFL receiver but if he's drafted as a tight end he would need to bulk up and add to that frame. He displays great leaping ability and his strides are freakishly long which allows him to be a nightmare matchup. He also has the ability to go up and snag the ball away from defenders. However, he had a number of drops throughout his career and that could hamper him in regards to where he is taken. If his numbers prove well at the combine and pro day, Funchess could be off the board before the second round. 
• Todd Gurley- The Georgia running back was once thought of at a Heisman Trophy winner and a top 10 maybe top 5 pick. But a suspension due to violation of NCAA rules and a torn ACL has seen his draft stock fall. He tore his ACL in November so rehab is still a lengthly process. Before the injury he projected extremely well at the next level with his size and ability. Listed at 6'1" 226 pounds, he is one of the bigger backs in this draft class. He has the ability to run defenders over once he gets to the next level. He can also catch the ball out of the backfield which is a growing asset among the games elite.
