"Tee Higgins was a five-star in the 2017 class and he had a dominant career at Clemson. He was only one spot away from the first round, so I still think we pretty much nailed that ranking." – Adam Gorney

"Two positions that are of significant value early in the second round are running back and safety. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a great player and fits the Kansas City offense really well but hard to believe he was taken with Jonathan Taylor, JK Dobbins and especially D'Andre Swift on the board.

"I also think Cam Akers is going to be a steal in this draft. And then safety Xavier McKinney is a first-round talent and I also really like Grant Delpit and Antonie Winfield Jr. out of Minnesota. He's a guy that just produces and makes plays." – Adam Gorney
